What kind of place is Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza near Hapjeong Station?
Today I'm bringing you a review of some delicious wood-fired pizza and pasta I had in Hongdae!! ✨🫶🏻 The place I visited is Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza, a proper wood-fired pizza specialist that's been running for over 10 years. Having made pizza in the same spot for so long, they say they put real care into everything from the dough to the ingredients to the baking process, so you can taste the true flavor of authentic Italian pizza ☺️
Inside Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza and how to book on Naver
The interior of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza had that Italian feel you'd expect from an authentic wood-fired pizza specialist, and it was warm and cozy — such a great date spot 😳
I booked ahead through Naver Reservation, and when I got there, the table was already neatly set as you can see in the photo!! Thanks to that I could start eating comfortably with no waiting, haha
What we ordered at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza
We ordered gamberi crema penne, and a Quattro Formaggi and Manjo half pizza. Since I wanted to try both pizza flavors, I went with a half-and-half, and for drinks I picked Coke and grapefruit ade.
From a cheese-loaded pizza to one topped with beef, to a soft cream pasta — I tried a good variety~~🤤 The food came out fast. It looked so pretty and mouth-watering that I was happy just looking at it before even taking a bite 🫶🏻
Gamberi crema, the signature pasta, with spaghetti noodles
First up is Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza's signature pasta, the gamberi crema. It's a shrimp and cream sauce pasta with a hint of spice — they pile cheese on top and melt it under the intense heat of the wood-fired oven, so you get an extra-rich cheesy flavor, they say haha. You can choose either spaghetti or penne noodles, and I went with spaghetti.
The cream sauce with all that melted cheese blended so well with the pasta — it was rich yet nutty. The smooth cream sauce spread all through my mouth and it was so good... truly lives up to being the signature dish!!
How do the Quattro Formaggi and Manjo half pizzas taste?
Next, the pizza we ordered was a Quattro Formaggi and Manjo half-and-half. Quattro Formaggi is a creamy cheese pizza made with four kinds of cheese — gorgonzola, cream cheese, Reggiano, and mozzarella, apparently. Since it uses completely different cheeses from your typical cheese pizza, it felt extra special!!
If you usually love a richer cheese flavor than an ordinary cheese pizza, I'd really recommend the Quattro Formaggi 🙌
The second pizza to introduce is Manjo 🤍 Manjo is a bulgogi pizza piled generously with beef — on a tomato-sauce base, topped moistly with beef, onion, and paprika, they say. The tangy-sweet tomato sauce and the sweet-salty beef bulgogi blended beautifully with the cheese, making for a really harmonious pizza ~~ 🤤
With that generous beef topping, it seemed perfect for anyone who loves a meaty pizza (that's me!). Ordering it as a half pizza meant I could alternate between the two flavors and never got tired of it, haha
Is Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza worth a visit?
Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza, which I've introduced today, is a proper wood-fired pizza specialist that's been open for over 10 years, and you can feel the care in everything from making the dough to the way they bake the pizza! Their dough is naturally fermented for over 72 hours, stretched thin by hand, and baked in a wood-fired oven at over 400 degrees — that's their signature method. From the Quattro Formaggi with its four different cheeses, to the Manjo piled generously with beef, to the soft and slightly spicy gamberi crema penne, every dish was 100% satisfying.
If you're looking for authentic wood-fired pizza in Hongdae, want pizza and pasta together in Hapjeong, or are hunting for a good restaurant near Sangsu Station, this is a place I really want to recommend 🐰🤍 If you're looking for a great pizza spot in Hongdae, come enjoy authentic wood-fired pizza and a variety of pastas at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza 🍕🩷
