A weekday evening visit meant a 50-minute wait, followed by a half potato, half beef cheeseburger pizza with added cheese crust, chicken steak and a zero-sugar cola. Pickles is worth the wait, and it gets better every visit, making it the top repeat pizza spot in Jeonpo. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 62-14 Seojeon-ro 46beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan (on the Jeonpo-sagitgil / Jeonlidan-gil strip, easy to reach from Seomyeon or Jeonpo stations) - **Wait**: 50 minutes on a weekday evening; arriving before 6pm is recommended - **What we ordered**: Half-and-half pizza (potato / beef cheeseburger) with added cheese crust, chicken steak, zero-sugar cola - **Table setting**: Ligo hot sauce, whole peppercorn grinder, house-made cucumber pickles, iced glasses with a lemon slice - **Seating**: Curved round sofa tables, open-kitchen counter *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ## Where Pickles is and how long the weekday evening wait runs Today I'm bringing you a real review of Pickles, a Western food restaurant in Seomyeon and the Jeonpo cafe street area in Busan that I love from the vibe down to the taste (◍•ᴗ•◍) ![View of the Jeonpo Pickles storefront](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-01-nw0ze-1200.webp) It's located near the Jeonpo-sajitgil and Jeolli-dan-gil line, so accessibility is great whether you're coming from Seomyeon Station or Jeonpo Station! It wasn't even a weekend, but visiting on a weekday evening — I'd recommend coming before 6pm.... we waited 50 minutes to eat ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ![Entrance of Pickles Jeonpo during a weekday evening wait](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-02-165fo-900.webp) ![Pickles exterior photo zone lit by red neon signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-03-1xad1-900.webp) As a leading spot in Busan and Seomyeon's food scene, it really is popular.... but chatting at the photo zone with its soft red neon glow on the exterior, and sitting on the bench near the entrance while we waited, made the time fly by (,,•﹏•,,) Finally it was our turn, and we headed inside! ![Waiting bench near the entrance of Pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-04-15n6b-900.webp) ![Pickles Jeonpo storefront neon sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-05-nbx1i-900.webp) ![Alleyway in front of Pickles on Jeonpo-sajitgil](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-06-1b7ch-900.webp) ![Photo zone shot outside Pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-07-o91lz-900.webp) ![Front of Pickles just before entering](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-08-1xjw1-900.webp) ## Inside Pickles: New York-style interior and open-kitchen seats The moment the door opened, the hip yet classic New York vibe of the interior really got me. ![New York-style interior of Pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-09-np84a-900.webp) Inside, there are cozy round curved sofa tables, and the wall behind them, decorated with full-of-feeling New York posters and frames, had such a great atmosphere haha ![Round curved sofa table with New York poster wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-10-oaa6c-900.webp) ![Framed art and seating inside Pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-11-en02g-900.webp) Beyond the open kitchen counter where the chefs cook, the silver lighting glowing and the neatly lined-up wine bottles come together to make it a great space for a Jeonpo date or Seomyeon date with friends, family, or a partner. Actually I'd been here before, and the moment I sat down, got my menu, and took a bite — wow, it's gotten even more delicious than before..... 🍕 ㅠㅁㅠ Honestly, this is a place where satisfaction just keeps going up every time I visit, so it's my number one 'go back again' spot and an absolute must-revisit Jeonpo pizza specialist! ![Open kitchen counter with wine bottles on a shelf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-12-mjf5d-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Pickles and what comes on the table Pickles is apparently a brand the owner built based on memories, food flavors, spaces, and music from time spent in New York, USA. What we ordered this time was Pickles' bestseller half-and-half pizza (potato / beef cheeseburger) and the chicken steak, full of smoky flavor! ![Pickles menu and ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-13-s1vk8-900.webp) We also added a cool zero-sugar cola. Once you're seated, they bring it out in a glass full of ice topped with a slice of refreshing lemon — little details like this were already so nice (๑• _•๑) ![Zero-sugar cola in an ice glass topped with a lemon slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-14-1szxq-900.webp) On the table, Ligo hot sauce with an American local feel, a whole peppercorn grinder, and thick, crunchy house-made cucumber pickles come as the default setting. ![Ligo hot sauce, peppercorn grinder, and house-made cucumber pickles setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-15-1bo3d-900.webp) ## How does the potato and beef cheeseburger half-and-half pizza taste? A little while later, our ordered half-and-half pizza finally landed on the table! Just look at this visual...! (૭ ᐕ)૭ ![Whole potato and beef cheeseburger half-and-half pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-16-a4elw-900.webp) One pan lets you taste two of Pickles' signature menu items at once — insanely good value! ![Close-up shot of the half-and-half pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-17-1bt94-900.webp) First, the beef cheeseburger pizza, which reminds you of a hamburger, is seriously amazing — on top of a savory dough base sits a layer of salty beef and rich cheese, then it's piled high with crunchy raw onion and fresh green veggies! Taking a big bite gives you rich juiciness like a homemade cheeseburger, combined with the crisp texture of fresh vegetables — so delicious hahaha genuinely so good ㅠ_ㅠ my favorite best menu item!!!! 🌿 ![Beef cheeseburger pizza piled with raw onion and green vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-18-hm4tt-900.webp) And the potato pizza half, with its charming thick wedge potatoes, has fluffy wedge potatoes, salty bacon, and a generous drizzle of a soft, sweet-savory special white sauce — it was the definition of a can't-go-wrong combo! ![Potato pizza topped with wedge potatoes and bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-19-1r118-900.webp) ### Why the cheese crust add-on at Pickles is a must I cut into the crust part with high hopes — we added the cheese crust!!!! Definitely add it, please. It's a crispy, chewy bread crust packed full of stretchy, savory mozzarella cheese, so I ate every last bit down to the end without leaving anything behind (♡˘▽˘)*.¸.¸¸.🩶 ![Cross-section of the mozzarella-filled cheese crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-20-7hoqk-900.webp) ## The chicken steak we ordered alongside the pizza And here's the must-order menu item to get alongside the pizza — the chicken steak! Apparently the owner put in a huge amount of effort to recreate the taste and the emotion of the chicken they had while traveling in Harlem, New York 🍗 ![A plate of Pickles' chicken steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-21-1s59q-900.webp) The golden-brown, tender chicken thigh is fully coated in special herbs and seasoning on the outside, and it was a textbook example of crispy outside, juicy inside. ![Herb-seasoned grilled chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-22-t7i5m-900.webp) Cutting it with a knife, into a juicy piece of chicken, ![Chicken steak sliced open with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-23-u24kz-900.webp) ![Chicken steak served with coleslaw and baby potatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-24-mq1mb-900.webp) topping it with the fresh, crunchy napa cabbage and red cabbage coleslaw cuts through the richness completely and doubles the flavor — so good ㅠㅠ Paired with the round, golden little roasted baby potatoes, the portion was generous too, making it a super satisfying, great-value menu item! ## A Jeonpo Western restaurant for both daytime brunch and evening dates During the day it gives off New York brunch restaurant vibes, great to enjoy as a Jeonpo brunch or Seomyeon lunch spot, and in the evening it transforms into a Jeonpo restaurant perfect for a date under soft lighting! There are plenty of Jeonpo pasta restaurants, but this place lets you get great photos too, so it would be perfect as a Western food restaurant for a date course. Visit during the day and you can relax under warm sunlight enjoying that New York brunch feeling as a Jeonpo brunch spot, and in the evening it's a great Jeonpo pizza restaurant and Busan pizza restaurant for a romantic Jeonpo date or Seomyeon date under the lighting. It's known as a recommended spot for Jeonpo pasta too, but the pizza and steak combo we had this time was perfect as well, so I'd strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the Jeonpo-dong Jeonpo cafe street area! If you're torn on where to eat Seomyeon pizza or Busan pizza for a date, don't hesitate — head straight to Pickles, the Seomyeon pizza restaurant! 🍕❤️ ## Where it is - Pickles (피클스) - 62-14, Seojeon-ro 46beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 서전로46번길 62-14 1층 피클스 - 35.1550287, 129.0641769 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%BC%ED%81%B4%EC%8A%A4/@35.1550287,129.0641769,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dadaepo-late-anchor/pickles-jeonpo-half-pizza-chicken-steak-8212/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
