Mokdong pizza pub for a weekend with friends: 4-flavor set, Eopija

On weekends there are days when you just want to eat something good with your friends and chat for hours, right? But when it's time to actually pick a menu, it's surprisingly hard to decide. Meat felt a bit heavy and I feel like we've had chicken a lot lately, so this time pizza came to mind.

While looking for a good pizza place in Mokdong, I ended up at Eopija (어피자), near Yeomchang Station, and the meal was much more enjoyable than I expected. It's a quick walk from Yeomchang Station, so it's easy to reach, and it's also a nice place to drop in for a beer after work.

What comes with the Eopija set menu?

If you order the Eopija set menu, the pizza comes with oven spaghetti and a salad. That day we also got pizza snacks (pizza-flavored crackers) and nachos as a free extra, so the meal started on a high note. The portions were generous too, so I think it works well for a group of friends.

Finding Eopija from Yeomchang Station, and the exterior

Eopija is a short walk from Yeomchang Station, so it wasn't hard to find. It's an easy trip if you're around Mokdong, Deungchon or Gayang, and in the evening the exterior lights are bright, so it stands out from far away. The sleek black-toned look left an impression on me.

Four flavors on one pizza: what combination did we pick?

I liked that the pizza we ordered at Eopija lets you enjoy several flavors on a single pie. We chose bacon, pepperoni, potato and sweet potato, a combination that works even when friends have different tastes. Eating a different flavor with each slice, we never got tired of it until the end.

Free pizza snacks while you wait

Before the food arrived, they gave us pizza snacks as a free extra, so the wait never got boring. The pizza snacks reminded me of a nostalgic flavor from childhood, so they were a welcome sight. It's a small gesture, but thoughtful touches like this tend to stay in my memory.

The salty flavor of bacon and pepperoni went really well with the savory cheese, and lots of the tables around us were enjoying pizza with beer, which made the atmosphere even better.

Bacon and pepperoni pizza

The bacon and pepperoni pizza was a classic flavor that anyone can enjoy. The salty meatiness and plentiful cheese went together well, and the long cheese pulls looked so appetizing. The savory punch of the pepperoni really came through, so it works well as a snack with beer too.

Potato pizza

The potato pizza was generously topped with potato, which gave it a nice texture and made it hearty and filling.

Sweet potato pizza

The sweet potato pizza had a gentle sweetness that made it a fun change of pace, and alternating it with the salty pizzas was a really good combination.

The oven spaghetti and salad that came with the set

The oven spaghetti in the Eopija set was piled with cheese, and eaten hot, the cheese stretched in long pulls. The tomato sauce and cheese went well together, and the olives scattered through it lifted the flavor even more.

The salad had fresh greens, tomato and corn, which was great for cutting the richness of the pizza, and it went even better with the pickles.

Eopija's staff and how fast the food came out

The Eopija staff were friendly, so the mood was relaxed throughout the meal. They explained the menu in detail and got the food ready quickly, so we didn't have to wait long. Seeing how carefully they looked after even the free extras, I could feel how much they care about their customers.

Chandelier lighting and black-toned decor: what's the atmosphere like?

The inside of Eopija had a different feel from an ordinary pizza place. Chandelier lighting is the focal point, creating a soft mood that goes nicely with the black-toned interior, and it looks pretty in photos too. I think it would suit a friends' get-together as well as a date.

Why I recommend Eopija as a Mokdong pizza spot

If you want pizza near Yeomchang Station, I had plenty of reasons to recommend Eopija. If you're looking for a good pizza place in Mokdong in particular, the solid set stood out: pizza with several flavors at once, plus oven spaghetti and a salad.

Bacon, pepperoni, potato and sweet potato each had their own character, so I enjoyed it down to the last slice, and the free pizza snacks and nachos added a little extra fun. It's a good match with an ice-cold beer too, so if you're looking for a spot for a friends' meetup or a date, I think Eopija, a Mokdong pizza pub, is worth a visit.
