Visiting on a weekend afternoon, the writer ordered the classic combo set for two — a half birria, half potato pizza plus bisque cream pasta — and found the cilantro salsa on the birria pizza surprisingly good even as a first-time cilantro eater. If you're after something more unusual than the usual pizza-and-pasta combo, Extra Mile fits the bill. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:00) - **Address**: 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gagil, 1F, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - **Reservations**: Naver Reservation available; checking Catch Table before visiting recommended - **Seating**: 3 bar seats, about 5 tables for 4, 2 tables for 2 - **Ordered**: Classic combo set for two (birria + potato half-and-half pizza, bisque cream pasta), Budweiser draft, Coke Zero *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Extra Mile, a Western restaurant in Gwangalli, main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-01-vo6gd-1200.webp) Extra Mile, a Gwangalli favorite - 🗓️ Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:00) - 📍 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gagil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - ℹ️ Checking Catch Table before visiting recommended, Naver Reservation available > 🍕 A pizza you can enjoy in half-and-half variety > 🍝 Bisque cream pasta with shrimp flavor and gim (dried seaweed) > 🖍️ A cozy space with crayon-colorable paper tablecloths ## A new Western restaurant in Gwangalli, Extra Mile I visited a newly opened Western restaurant in Gwangalli, ![Exterior of Extra Mile, newly opened in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-02-1pacd-900.webp) and since it steps outside the usual pizza-and-pasta combo, I wanted to introduce it for anyone looking for a different kind of Western food spot in Gwangalli — I think you'd enjoy it 😄 ![Entrance to Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-03-7voko-900.webp) ## How long is the weekend daytime wait? I visited on a weekend afternoon and there was a bit of a wait. If you're planning a weekend visit, I recommend checking Catch Table first‼️ When I went, I didn't wait too long, but it seemed like there could be a line during meal times. ![Weekend daytime waiting notice at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-04-1310r-900.webp) ![Waiting area at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-05-x44qp-900.webp) If you're planning your food route in Gwangalli, it's worth checking the waiting situation before heading to this Gwangalli Western restaurant. ![Street in front of Extra Mile in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-06-hrjul-900.webp) ## Wood-toned interior and crayon tablecloths Once I was shown in, the interior was wood-toned overall and quite cozy. ![Wood-toned interior of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-07-11gst-900.webp) There was a bar with 3 seats, and I think there were about 5 tables for four and 2 tables for two. What I personally found fun was the tablecloth — ![Paper tablecloth that can be colored with crayons](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-08-ffk8a-900.webp) ![Crayons and coloring tablecloth on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-09-18ous-900.webp) the paper laid on each table could be colored in with crayons, so the wait for food wasn't boring at all. ![Tablecloth colored in while waiting at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-10-lyw0k-900.webp) ![Finished coloring on the paper tablecloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-11-du9sn-900.webp) Even visiting with babies, this tablecloth would make the wait time fun. The open kitchen and plants scattered around also matched the wood-toned space well. ![Interior with open kitchen and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-12-lo5zp-900.webp) ## What's in the classic combo set for two I ordered the classic combo set for two, choosing the pizza as a half birria, half potato. ![Pizza ordered as half birria, half potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-13-1hmpq-900.webp) For the pasta, I picked the bisque cream pasta. ![Extra Mile's bisque cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-14-1oj0s-900.webp) I also ordered a Budweiser draft and a Coke Zero to go with it. ![Budweiser draft and Coke Zero](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-15-1lrex-900.webp) ### Birria pizza — like a taco thanks to the cilantro salsa First, the birria pizza had cilantro salsa on it, which gave it a flavor reminiscent of Mexican tacos. Actually, this was my first time ever trying cilantro, and thanks to the sauce, I ended up enjoying it more than I expected haha That said, if you really dislike the taste of cilantro or spices in general, I'd recommend choosing a different menu item over the birria. The hot honey pepperoni and salad pizzas looked pretty tasty on other tables too. ![A slice of birria pizza topped with cilantro salsa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-16-1fxmj-900.webp) ### Potato pizza — two textures from sliced and shredded potato The potato pizza had both potato slices and thin shredded potato on top, so each bite had a crispy texture and a soft potato texture at the same time. The combination of potato and truffle oil was great, and the salty bacon that popped up here and there cut through the richness, so I kept reaching for more. ![Potato pizza topped with potato slices and shredded potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-17-pbw47-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a potato pizza slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-18-18rdr-900.webp) It had more of a textural highlight than an ordinary potato pizza, making it memorable among the Western dishes I've had in Gwangalli. ![The half-and-half classic combo set pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-19-11pan-900.webp) ### Bisque cream pasta — shrimp flavor with gim I tried the bisque cream pasta too. From the very first bite, the shrimp flavor came through quite strongly. It paired really well with the gim (dried seaweed) on top. ![Close-up of bisque cream pasta topped with gim](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-20-1i2ta-900.webp) The bisque cream itself was already different from the usual tomato or cream pasta, and adding gim on top gave it a distinct Extra Mile feel. It could have felt like a mismatched combination, but each ingredient blended well without feeling out of place, and I enjoyed it a lot. ![Scooping up the bisque cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-21-rkj1u-900.webp) It was different enough from what you usually find at a Western restaurant that it made me curious what the other menu items would taste like. ![Table with both pizza and pasta laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-22-189hn-900.webp) ## Who is this place a good fit for? Extra Mile sells pizza and pasta, familiar menu items, ![Full view of the dining table at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-23-1kn1n-900.webp) but true to the meaning of the name — "going one step further" — I got to try combinations that are hard to find at other Western restaurants. So I think it would suit people looking to enjoy a different kind of Western food rather than the familiar standard. ![Table at Extra Mile after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque-24-10cln-900.webp) For me too, among the Western restaurants in Gwangalli, this was a place that made me want to come back and try other menu items. - ✅ Anyone who wants to try a different kind of Western menu - ✅ Anyone looking for a cozy Western restaurant to eat at in Gwangalli - ✅ Anyone looking for an atmospheric Western restaurant that's good for a date ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gagil, 1F, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 수영로554번가길 11 1층 - 35.1540884, 129.1150752 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%91%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%BC/@35.1540884,129.1150752,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coastline-lunches/gwangalli-western-extra-mile-viria-bisque/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
