My family of three had lasagna, basil Margherita pizza, seafood tomato pasta, and salad in a spacious, private-feeling setting. Verdict: all three of us wanted to come back. ## Good to know - **Party size**: 3 people, including my parents - **Parking**: Spacious parking is available, including parking along the main road - **Wine prices**: ₩35,000–₩350,000 - **Wine selection**: Red, white, rosé & sparkling, and Champagne - **Order**: 4 dishes and 2 drinks *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* We came here for a family gathering, and the pizza quality was so excellent that all three of us unanimously said it was a restaurant we wanted to revisit. ![Featured photo of Bueokgan Sangmu Branch visited for a family gathering](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-01-1kgy9-900.webp) ## Bueokgan Sangmu Branch for a family gathering There were three of us, including my parents, and we were visiting for a family gathering. It is right next to Mudeung Church and across from Seogwangju Station; there is plenty of parking, including along the main road. ## Spacious, private-feeling seating The space is very large, and the high ceiling really creates an atmosphere. The round table was as roomy as a six-person table, while the semicircular sofa made it cozy and private. ![Semicircular sofa and round-table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-02-wvatg-900.webp) The table is unusual, right? It was incredibly comfortable! Even though there were many people, the tables were quite far apart, so it was nice to have an intimate conversation. There is also an entirely separate, quiet private room. Even the plates were not made in China, and they were using gorgeous cutlery in the ₩70,000 range. Apparently it was D&D Roma cutlery—my mom, a total home-living enthusiast, recognized it at once, which was amazing... They also had chairs for babies. Lots of people seemed to be using them. When I visited, I saw around two or three people using them, haha. ![Restaurant space with baby chairs available](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-03-1v7of-900.webp) ## A varied selection, from jambon dishes to wine The menu is varied and trendy. There are dishes using jambon, which is popular these days, as well as classic staples across a range of prices. ![Bueokgan Sangmu Branch menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-04-ru5oh-900.webp) ![Menu board including jambon dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-05-3ixl9-900.webp) ![Italian dishes across various price ranges](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-06-1tqow-900.webp) ![Bueokgan Sangmu Branch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-07-1a0ba-900.webp) ![Guide to the restaurant's trendy dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-08-txu1h-900.webp) ![Selection of classic Italian dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-09-1z9n0-900.webp) There were four categories in total—red wine, white wine, rosé & sparkling wine, and Champagne—with prices from ₩35,000 to ₩350,000, so you could order according to your budget or the mood. There were also quite a lot of wines below ₩50,000. I counted more than 10, then it became too hard to keep scrolling, so I could not photograph them all. The kiosk also shows remaining quantities, so you can check stock before ordering! ![Wine stock information on the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-10-11v7m-900.webp) ![Red wine selection screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-11-yyxev-900.webp) ![White wine selection screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-12-e2zmu-900.webp) ![Wine and Champagne menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-13-1qdre-900.webp) We ordered four dishes and two drinks in total, and even joined the review event! ![Order of four dishes and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-14-mp2vb-900.webp) ## Lasagna and wood-fired basil Margherita pizza ### Lasagna The seasoning had soaked nicely into the characteristically broad pasta sheets. It was based on ragù Bolognese sauce, with lots of meat and a clean, rich flavor. The cheese was real natural cheese too, not imitation cheese. This food connoisseur guarantees it. ![Lasagna with ragù Bolognese sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-15-fvdmx-900.webp) ![Lasagna topped with natural cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-16-1d78l-900.webp) ### Basil Margherita pizza The pizza crust was wood-fired, so it had wonderful flavor. The tomato marinade and basil pesto were fresh, and the arugula was fresh too, making it clean and light to eat. You can add Tabasco, but it is much tastier as it is. ![Wood-fired basil Margherita pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-17-5v9c7-900.webp) ![Pizza with arugula and basil pesto](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-18-14fba-900.webp) ## Spicy seafood tomato pasta and salad ### Seafood tomato pasta It was spicier than expected—about as hot as Shin Ramyun. A pleasantly spicy pasta full of large shrimp. The peperoncino flavor had seeped nicely into the clam broth, giving it a smooth but spicy kick that was exactly to Korean tastes! It had the feel of hangover pasta, and the seasoning was just right. An enormous green mussel was placed on top. ### Salad A salad topped with finely grated cheese and prosciutto. Its subtle sweetness and fresh dressing woke up the appetite just enough. It was my first time having a salad with prosciutto, and perhaps because it was sliced thinly, it was a combination that went well with the salad. ![Salad topped with prosciutto and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-19-eny9y-900.webp) ## Review-event pastry and fresh-pressed-style drinks ### Pistachio pastry Inside the pastry was a nutty pistachio flavor, somewhat like a maple pastry. Unlike how it looks, it had a soft pie-like texture, and since it was a texture I had never tried before, I recommend joining the review event and trying it. ![Review-event pistachio pastry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-20-z0yr8-900.webp) ![Pastry with a soft, pie-like texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-21-p7834-900.webp) ### Single Grapefruit and Single Orange They were not sweet and tasted like freshly pressed juice. There was almost no carbonation and the sugar level was not high. The flavor was natural rather than intense. Personally, I would have liked just a little more sweetness. ![Single Grapefruit and Single Orange drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-22-1thzy-900.webp) ![Fresh-pressed-style drinks with little carbonation](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-23-dlenq-900.webp) ![Table cleared completely after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan-24-dov9q-900.webp) ## Kind service and a meal the whole family loved We cleaned every plate! The service was also very kind, with the dishes set down carefully. I was surprised that the review event included a snack that children would enjoy. The prices are not exactly low, but considering the quality and the restaurant atmosphere, I think it is excellent value! > They made every dish enjoyable right to the last bite, so it was an extremely satisfying meal for the first time in a while! My family even praised me for finding such a good restaurant! It was one of the best places I have visited recently. ## Where it is - Bueokgan Sangmu Branch (부엌간 상무점) - 25 Seogwangju-ro, Seo-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 서구 서광주로 25 1층 - 35.1294543, 126.847691 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EC%97%8C%EA%B0%84%20%EC%83%81%EB%AC%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.1294543,126.847691,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-then-words-2/gwangju-family-woodfired-pizza-bueokgan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
