Where to buy pizza seolgi in Cheongju: Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch

Pizza seolgi (rice cake) — rice cake made to look like a pizza — has been super popular on Instagram lately. I already love rice cakes and was really curious what it tastes like, so I wanted to try it at least once. I searched hard for places selling pizza seolgi in Cheongju and found that Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch (떡마마 청주개신점) had it too, so I ordered it right away.

A while back, while preparing for my baby's 100-day celebration, I tried Tteokmama for the first time. The flat honey rice cake I had then was genuinely delicious and stuck in my memory, so this time I ordered it again along with the pizza seolgi.

A Cheongju rice cake shop for celebration cakes and return gifts

Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch has a really wide variety, making it a good Cheongju rice cake shop to check out when preparing for events or return gifts. For special days like a baby's 100-day or first birthday, it's always tricky deciding what rice cake to prepare, and these days it seems more people are looking for something a bit more fun and appetizing beyond the traditional event rice cakes.

When I was preparing for my baby's 100-day celebration, I looked into Tteokmama's 100-day rice cakes. Looking again this time, they have everything from Cheongju 100-day and first-birthday rice cake sets to Cheongju custom event rice cake products you can put together for any occasion.

Return-gift rice cakes that you'll hand out to many people need careful packaging too, and they have good sets prepared for that — so if you're looking for return-gift rice cake recommendations from a Cheongju rice cake shop, it's worth a look.

Pizza seolgi prices: 2,500 won a slice, 22,000 won a tray

The menu I was most curious about this time was the pizza seolgi. At Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch, a single slice of pizza seolgi costs ₩2,500, and a whole tray is ₩22,000. I'd only seen it in photos before, but seeing the pizza seolgi cut into slices like an actual pizza in person was so fun and fascinating. It's rice cake, but you can eat it slice by slice like pizza, which made it a fun and different snack, and also perfect for sharing among several people.

If you're planning to share with a group, ordering a whole tray seems like a good idea, and if you just want to try the taste, ordering a single slice is recommended. Since it was my first time trying it, I started with just one slice. Visually it's clearly different from regular seolgi, and I thought it would be fun to serve as a kid's snack or when guests come over. The fluffy texture unique to seolgi went really well with it — trying it myself, I finally understood why pizza seolgi is so popular lately. For anyone tired of eating the same kinds of rice cake every time, this kind of unusual rice cake seems like a great option.

Reordering the flat honey kkultteok from our 100-day celebration

Along with the pizza seolgi, I ordered one more thing this time — the flat honey rice cake I had during my baby's 100-day celebration. I first tried it while preparing for the 100-day rice cakes, and it was so delicious that it stayed in my memory ever since. So while reordering from Tteokmama this time, I got the flat honey rice cake too. Sure enough, the chewy texture combined with the sweet flavor made it a perfect snack.

Chaltteok cake gift sets need an advance reservation

The chapssal (glutinous) rice cake gift set can only be ordered with an advance reservation. For people who love rice cakes, or for older family members who don't like bread or cake, gifting a rice cake cake seems like it would go over really well!

They also have sikhye (sweet rice drink) to enjoy with the rice cakes, plus rice cakes kept refrigerated and frozen. I'm going to buy a whole tray of the currently trending pizza seolgi and enjoy it with my family!

Planning 100-day and dol rice cakes at Tteokmama Cheongju

The packaging was neat too, so it was easy to take out a little at a time as a snack. If you're looking into rice cakes for a baby's 100-day or first birthday, instead of just preparing plain baekseolgi (white rice cake), it might be nice to put together a variety of rice cakes to share with family and to give as return gifts. If you're looking for a place to prepare custom Cheongju event rice cakes, or searching for Cheongju 100-day and first-birthday rice cake sets and return-gift rice cake recommendations from a Cheongju rice cake shop, take a look at the variety of rice cake menus at Tteokmama Cheongju Gaesin Branch.
