Three slice-pizza flavors with blueberry and cream spaghetti: Raymond

Isu pizza lunch recommendation: Raymond Isu Branch

Today I was looking for a pizza spot near Isu Station and ended up at Raymond Isu Branch! I don't get to Isu Station often, but once I got there I found tons of hidden gem restaurants and pretty cafés clustered together.

Raymond Isu Branch had a great atmosphere and lots of interior charm with a wide variety of pizzas — perfect for beer and pizza. I ordered their famous craft beer, pizza, and pasta to try!!

Location and parking at Raymond Isu Branch

Address: 33 Dongjak-daero 23-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor

• 🚃 Subway: Isu Station Exit 9
• 🚗 Parking: Not available (I used the nearby public parking lot)

Raymond Isu Branch was super accessible thanks to its proximity to Isu Station. No parking was a bit of a bummer, but there's a public parking lot nearby, and it was convenient being close to the station if you take the subway.

Waiting and how to order

📍Waiting I went a bit after lunch rush with a reservation made in advance, so there was no waiting at all.

📍How to order Once you sit down, you can easily order through the tablet at each table. Haha.

What was the atmosphere like?

Raymond was gorgeous from the outside! Even from a distance you could spot it and go, oh, that's the place! The red awning matched beautifully with the ivory brick.

Inside, it felt like I'd stepped into an overseas pizza pub. The interior fits a pizza place perfectly, and the atmosphere was so good, don't you think?

Overall the white and wood tones blended together harmoniously. The arch structures between the pillars gave it a unique, more exotic feel too.

Seating and restroom

The place was bigger than I expected. There were tables for 2, 4, and 6 people, so it's great for groups or just a couple coming together. There was actually a table of friends there as a group that day too.

Having a restroom inside the restaurant was a big plus. So convenient to use!! Cleanliness matters for restrooms, and this one was spotless inside too.

Showcase and self bar

The showcase displays all sorts of pizzas, and there's a self bar so you can just grab things comfortably. Water and cups are set out separately too. It wasn't plain water but tea, and it was actually pretty nice haha.

And the aprons next to the beer fridge were such a nice touch!!

Craft draft beer

This place has a wide variety of pizzas, but also a really wide variety of beers!! To start our beer-and-pizza combo, I ordered the draft beer first.

Three slice pizza combo

I ordered 3 different types of pizza, and since you can order by the slice, it was great being able to try a variety of flavors.

Isn't the pizza really huge? Seriously the size of a palm... haha. It's so great when one slice is this big~~!!

I also tried the blueberry pizza I'd only heard about before. It was better than I expected? Dipping it in the sauce was just right.

I ordered 3 types: a slightly spicy pizza, a mild pizza, and a sweet pizza. Ordering this trio meant I could enjoy a variety of flavors without getting tired of any of them. Recommend!!

Cream spaghetti

This is a pizza place at heart, but they have so many other side menu items too. Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), chicken, fries, pasta, and more — I ordered the cream spaghetti out of all of that.

When you start getting a little tired of pizza, twirling up some pasta for a bite is just perfect. Haha. I thought the cream sauce might be too rich, but it actually paired well with the pizza too, don't you think? Haha.

Overall thoughts

🍽 Great pizza pub atmosphere for casually enjoying beer and pizza with friends. If you're looking for a beer-and-pizza spot near Isu or a pizza lunch in Isu, how about Raymond Isu Branch?
