Seated at a window table, two diners ordered a full spread — mushroom salad with fig, carbonara, risotto and wood-fired pizza — and the sauce-heavy pasta and chewy pizza dough stood out. With wide spacing between tables and both ground-level and basement parking, MooDoo works just as well for a blind date, a date night or a group gathering. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00-22:00 - **Parking**: Ground-level and basement parking both available - **Seating**: 4-seat and 8-seat tables and more, with wide spacing between tables - **What we ordered**: Mushroom salad with fig, carbonara, risotto, wood-fired pizza - **Takeout**: Leftover pizza can be boxed to go - **Drinks**: Free with the Naver receipt review event *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Today I came back to MooDoo, my go-to spot for pizza and pasta in Cheomdan, Gwangju — I've been so many times it's basically my regular haunt. I was craving a well-made pizza, so I headed over. The atmosphere is nice too, so it's a place that works for blind dates, regular dates, or pretty much any occasion. ## MooDoo Cheomdan hours and parking MooDoo Cheomdan, a restaurant known for its waitlist during work dinners in Cheomdan, Gwangju, is open from 11:00 to 22:00. There's both ground-level and basement parking, so parking was easy — which is a real plus, since Cheomdan is otherwise a tough area to park in. ![Exterior view of the building entrance to MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-01-xwt2g-900.webp) ## Inside MooDoo: wide table spacing and window seats Here's the interior of MooDoo, a lunch-and-dinner waitlist restaurant in Ssangam-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju. The tables are spaced generously apart, which makes it easy to talk. With a mix of 4-top and 8-top tables, it also seems like a good spot for group gatherings. ![Interior of MooDoo Cheomdan with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-02-xlbjm-900.webp) We sat by the window. We were hungry that day, so we ended up ordering quite a lot. ![Ordered dishes laid out at a window table at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-03-46w9x-900.webp) ## Mushroom salad with fig This is the salad at MooDoo, a pizza and pasta restaurant in Cheomdan, Gwangju. It had fig, which is in season right now. ![Salad with fig at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-04-1ni7i-900.webp) It's a mushroom salad, and out of all the salads here, this is the one I'd recommend most highly — definitely worth trying. ![Plate of mushroom salad at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-05-6a2ly-966.webp) ## Carbonara with plenty of sauce I love cream pastas, and carbonara especially. ![Carbonara pasta at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-06-197ow-966.webp) MooDoo, a spot in Ssangam-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangju that's great for eating solo, gives you plenty of sauce with the pasta, which I liked. Honestly, part of the reason I order pasta is to dip the pizza crust ends in the leftover sauce. ![Close-up of sauce-rich carbonara pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-07-1yit0-900.webp) I've tried several of the pastas at MooDoo, and none of them have ever disappointed. You really can't go wrong — just pick whatever suits your taste. ![Fork lifting up cream pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-08-vbw6t-966.webp) ## Adding a risotto for two Next up, the risotto. Looking at the photos now, we really ate a lot for just two people, haha. But at MooDoo, a Western-style restaurant in Cheomdan, Gwangju, every single dish tastes so good that you find room for it even when you're already full. ![A plate of risotto at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-09-1x1au-966.webp) I think the secret to the flavor is that they don't skimp on ingredients — they use good ones, generously. ![Close-up of a spoonful of risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-10-1pfqn-900.webp) ## Why we came to MooDoo: the wood-fired pizza This is the pizza at MooDoo, known for its takeout and delivery pizza in Gwangju. This is actually why I came today — baked in a wood-fired oven, with a chewy crust and a clean, light cheese topping. ![Wood-fired cheese pizza at MooDoo Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-11-1v08w-900.webp) It came with a dipping sauce and a hot sauce on the side, so I didn't get tired of the flavor. Honestly, the pizza itself is so good that I ended up eating it plain, without any sauce at all. ![A slice of wood-fired pizza served with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-12-17jcd-1200.webp) If you have leftover pizza, they'll pack it up for you, so even if you can't finish it, it's worth taking the rest home. ![A table with leftover pizza ready to be packed for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-13-1a89e-900.webp) ## The drink from MooDoo's Naver receipt event This is the drink from MooDoo, a spot known for soju, beer and all kinds of group gatherings in Cheomdan, Gwangju. It's given out if you take part in the Naver receipt review event, so if you're interested, it's worth joining in. ![Drink received through the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara-14-bwcxl-900.webp) This time I visited MooDoo, a local favorite in Ssangam-dong, Cheomdan, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for great pizza and pasta in Gwangju, or a good-atmosphere spot for a blind date or date night. ## Where it is - MooDoo (무두 첨단점) - 5 Cheomdangangbyeon-ro 87beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, South Korea (Yastech Tower, 2nd floor) - 전남광주통합특별시 광산구 첨단강변로87번길 5 야스텍타워 2층 MooDoo - 35.2143517, 126.8520218 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AC%B4%EB%91%90%20%EC%B2%A8%EB%8B%A8%EC%A0%90/@35.2143517,126.8520218,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-banchan-book/gwangju-cheomdan-moodoo-pizza-carbonara/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
