Arriving early before a meeting, the writer ordered the guanciale pizza and rosé pasta, and the dough made with Italian Caputo flour was worth eating right down to the crust, while the mild pickles served on a bed of ice stood out too. If you want to taste what wood-fired pizza dough can do, Napoli Shinbu is worth the trip. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 46 Bangjugan 3-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do - **Ordered**: Guanciale pizza, rosé pasta - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Parking**: If parking in the alley is difficult, park near Shinsegae Department Store, a public lot, or the post office and walk across the bridge - **Seating**: Tables for 2, 4 and 5, baby chairs available, floor-to-ceiling window view - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at the table, with menu descriptions *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Oak-fired pizza scene at Napoli Shinbu in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-01-f1qqp-900.webp) ![Guanciale pizza table setting at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-02-9320x-900.webp) ![Table with oak-fired pizza and pasta at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-03-1ojw4-900.webp) ## What to order at Napoli Shinbu, a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan I eat pizza pretty often, so I wondered how different an oak-fired pizza could really be. But after eating the guanciale pizza at Napoli Shinbu, I got it. > Real oak-fired pizza really is different. I had guanciale pizza and rosé pasta at Napoli Shinbu in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan. From the name alone, it's not your usual pasta or pizza place. The chef is a member of the Naples Oak-Fired Pizza Artisan Association and makes everything by hand, so the look and taste stand out. I get why it's a waiting-list spot in Sinbu-dong now. That's why we came early, haha. ### Napoli Shinbu location, parking and closing day - 1F, 46 Bangjugan 3-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - If alley parking is difficult, park near Shinsegae Department Store, a public lot, or the post office and walk across the bridge - Closed every Monday, haha ![Exterior of Napoli Shinbu on Bangjugan 3-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-04-9uj2g-900.webp) ## Inside Napoli Shinbu: the room and tablet ordering Walking in, my first thought was 'cute and cozy.' The atmosphere of a dining space matters, right? Napoli Shinbu felt like a comfortable place to sit and wait for food. ![Cute interior seating at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-05-u61nj-900.webp) ![Tables and interior decor at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-06-daa3l-900.webp) You order through a tablet at the table. I didn't expect there to be so many options. It's clearly an Italian restaurant serving oak-fired pizza and pasta in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan, so the menu is different from the start. You can check descriptions for each dish too, so choosing wasn't hard. ![Napoli Shinbu's tablet ordering menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-07-tsfs1-900.webp) While browsing, the name 'guanciale pizza' caught my eye. It looked different from the pizzas I usually order, so I was curious about the taste. Even though we'd also ordered rosé pasta, I found myself waiting more for the pizza to arrive. ![Table waiting for food at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-08-935t7-900.webp) ![Oak-fired pizza prep area at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-09-3lpy9-900.webp) They make the oak-fired pizza with Italian Caputo flour and mozzarella, and make the broth and sauces for the pasta in-house too. Maybe that's why the guanciale pizza I had that day left an impression not just from the toppings, but from the dough. ![Seating with a floor-to-ceiling window view at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-10-1iz1c-900.webp) ![Table for four at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-11-80drw-m-900.webp) ![Interior seating with window view at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-12-1g2xy-900.webp) ### Is Napoli Shinbu good with kids? Seating and baby chairs A baby chair was available, and there were various table sizes for 2, 4, and 5 people, with a view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, so the space didn't feel cramped. A cozy yet open-feeling Italian restaurant. When we ordered drinks, they brought them out in such a pretty ice cup. Such a nice touch! ![A prettily served drink in an ice cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-13-1svvi-900.webp) ### The pickles served on ice at Napoli Shinbu The pickles tasted different from the usual too. Normally I pick at pickles just to clear my palate between bites of pizza or pasta, but here the pickle itself was memorable. It wasn't strongly sour but still cleaned up the palate nicely, without being harsh. ![Pickles served on ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-14-tvi89-900.webp) They served the pickles sitting on ice. It made it easy to take as much as you wanted, and I thought, wow, they even pay attention to a small detail like this. There were sauces available too, but we didn't dip anything and just enjoyed the pizza's own flavor — it felt special. ![A whole guanciale pizza at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-15-no7gk-900.webp) ## Guanciale pizza: why the Caputo flour dough tastes different Taking a bite, it felt different from the pizza I usually eat. Normally with pizza you think of the cheese or toppings first. But here, the baked dough had so much flavor that I fully enjoyed every part of the slice — the topped middle and the crust end alike. ![A slice of guanciale pizza showing the crust end](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-16-1tqpj-900.webp) Usually once the toppings are gone, I don't reach for the leftover crust. But the crust of Napoli Shinbu's oak-fired pizza was worth eating too. The dough didn't feel like a mere base for the toppings. ![Cross-section of oak-fired pizza topped with guanciale](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-17-rp871-900.webp) The salty savoriness of the guanciale blending with the dough was also great. From the first bite to the last, the flavor kept evolving rather than staying the same. It was the kind of pizza where finishing one slice made you reach for the next. ![Guanciale pizza partway through being eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-18-1d5wq-900.webp) ![A slice of guanciale pizza being lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-19-1ozzu-900.webp) ![Edge of the oak-fired pizza dough at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-20-1e2pk-m-900.webp) You can see what kind of pizza it is from a photo, but the actual taste doesn't quite come through. That's exactly how the guanciale pizza was for me that day. The dough alone was different from what I'm used to!! ![A plate of rosé pasta at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-21-1lk3k-900.webp) ![Pasta noodles coated in rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-22-16paw-900.webp) ## How the rosé pasta tastes, and whether to order it with the pizza The rosé pasta we ordered alongside the pizza is a dish I'd especially recommend to anyone who loves both cream sauce and tomato sauce. > Rosé pasta, soft; pizza, full of flavor. That's the charm of rosé — the softness of cream with the freshness of tomato sauce added in. ![Guanciale pizza and rosé pasta served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-23-iktz9-1200.webp) Wrapping pasta noodles in a slice of pizza to eat was delicious! I also dipped pizza into the pasta sauce, haha. The pizza and pasta didn't taste similar or overlap, so switching between them was fun. If you're wondering whether to just order pizza or add pasta too when eating Western food in Sinbu-dong, definitely come to Napoli Shinbu, the oak-fired pizza favorite of the neighborhood~ ![Table at Napoli Shinbu after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta-24-15pk0-900.webp) ## Why Napoli Shinbu draws a wait in Sinbu-dong They make the oak-fired pizza with Italian Caputo flour and mozzarella, and make the broth and sauces for the pasta themselves, so once I tasted it, I understood why it's a pasta and pizza favorite with a wait in Sinbu-dong. I stopped by to curb my hunger before an important meeting, but it felt like stepping into a whole new world of good food. When I crave oak-fired pizza, I want to come back here!! Discovering a great restaurant is when I'm happiest, haha. ## Where it is - Napoli Shinbu (나폴리신부) - 1F, 46 Bangjugan 3-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 동남구 방죽안3길 46 1층 - 36.8224831, 127.1569015 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%ED%8F%B4%EB%A6%AC%EC%8B%A0%EB%B6%80/@36.8224831,127.1569015,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-evening-bites/cheonan-sinbudong-guanciale-pizza-rose-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
