# Gorgonzola pizza restaurant in Bangi-dong: rosé sauce combo at Hope So - By Dahye (https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-paragraph/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Songpa, Seoul - Sponsored: This is a review from a visit where the meal was provided by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-paragraph/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@dinner-paragraph/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/index.md) ## In short Hope So is a wood-fired pizza and pasta restaurant in Bangi-dong, Songpa, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Bangi Station on Line 5. On a weekday visit at 5pm, two diners shared the gorgonzola pizza, the margherita and the pasta of the day (gamberoni rosé), and the standout was spooning rosé sauce over a slice of gorgonzola pizza. Because honey sauce is spread under the dough, Hope So's gorgonzola hits the sweet-salty balance with no extra dipping, making it the dish to order here. ## Good to know - **Location**: 231m from Exit 4, Bangi Station (Line 5), about a 5-minute walk - **Hours**: Mon-Sat 16:00-01:00, closed every Sunday - **Reservations**: Naver Reservation - **Pasta of the day**: Mon-Thu 16:00-19:00, ₩14,900 (Mon gamberoni rosé / Tue carbonara / Wed pane / Thu cream jjamppong) - **Margherita**: ₩22,000 - **Gorgonzola**: ₩22,000 - **Coca-Cola Zero**: ₩3,000 - **Parking**: Free in front of the restaurant (tight, call ahead) / paid Wiryeseong-gil public parking lot across from Olympic Park - **Seating**: Two floors (1F and 2F), restroom on the 1st floor - **Price reference**: ₩14,900 ≈ $11 · ₩22,000 ≈ $16 · ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* Today I want to introduce Hope So, a pizza and pasta spot I found near Bangi Station 😊 There are plenty of places that do good pizza or pasta, but this one had a clear signature touch to every dish — honestly one of the most satisfying Italian restaurants I've eaten at recently. ## Hope So reservations and opening hours ![Hope So Naver Reservation and business hours information](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-01-1i4fm-m-900.webp) ![Hope So reservation screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-02-3bh5w-900.webp) You can book through Naver Reservation. - Closed every Sunday - Mon-Sat 16:00-01:00 I visited on a weekday around 5pm, which was nice and early — not crowded at all! ## How to get to Hope So from Bangi Station, plus parking ✔️ 231m from Exit 4, Bangi Station *Fastest way is to search "Hope So" (홉쏘) on Naver Map and hit directions :) *It's about a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Bangi Station on Line 5.

This place has its own clear edge. ✔️ Thick cheese, rich flavor: several types of cheese are blended together, creating a thick cheese layer with a full, layered flavor that fills your mouth. ✔️ A perfect sweet-salty base: honey sauce is already properly layered under the pizza dough, so the sweet-salty balance is complete even without dipping separately! (Extra honey is provided on the side if you want more.) ### 2️⃣ Gamberoni rosé, the pasta of the day 🍝 ![Hope So's gamberoni rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-14-1lrqm-900.webp) ![Close-up of rosé pasta topped with whole shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-15-kriv8-900.webp) ![Pasta noodles coated in rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-16-ahy58-900.webp) ✔️ Balanced, upscale flavor: not too strong or over the top, but never plain or bland either — this rosé sauce has a definite point of view. ✔️ Generous ingredients: plump shrimp and plenty of other ingredients made it very satisfying. It's great on its own, but the combo with the pizza mentioned above is really something special. ### 💡 Pro tip 💡 Hope So's best combination in one bite ![Rosé pasta sauce spooned onto gorgonzola pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-17-yk28v-900.webp) ![A bite combining pizza and rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-18-1i6bi-900.webp) Pile a generous spoonful of gamberoni rosé pasta sauce 🍝 onto a slice of gorgonzola pizza 🍕 and eat it in one bite ❗️ The sweet-salty gorgonzola meets the soft, rich rosé sauce for one perfect mouthful. I highly recommend trying it this way :) ### 3️⃣ Margherita pizza, Hope So's best seller 🍅 ![Hope So's wood-fired margherita pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-19-h9r8f-1200.webp) ![A slice of margherita pizza with tomato sauce base](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-20-12cac-900.webp) ![Cross-section of margherita pizza dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso-21-fo7yy-900.webp) ✔️ Deep flavor from a house-made sauce: it doesn't taste like plain store-bought tomato sauce — you can tell it's made with this restaurant's own special method. ✔️ Clean and light style: since the tomato sauce takes center stage on this pizza, it's not overdone and keeps just the right balance. It paired very cleanly with the cheese on top as well. ## Final verdict on Hope So Overall, this place has such strong fundamentals with its basic cooking that I kept wondering, 'What would the other dishes taste like?' throughout the meal. The big-bowl tteokbokki series that other tables were ordering in large portions looked especially delicious, so I'm planning to come back soon with a beer to work my way through the rest of the menu! If you're near Bangi Station or Olympic Park looking for delicious wood-fired pizza and pasta that pairs well with beer, definitely check out Hope So! ## Where it is - Hope So (홉쏘) - 21 Wiryeseongdae-ro 18-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 위례성대로18길 21 홉쏘 - 37.5103221, 127.1255317 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%89%EC%8F%98/@37.5103221,127.1255317,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-paragraph/bangi-gorgonzola-pizza-rose-pasta-hopsso/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
