Two months after a first visit, the writer came back for a weekday lunch and ordered a half-and-half pizza split between birria taco and hot honey pepperoni, plus bisque cream pasta topped with gamtae seaweed. The birria side works even for cilantro skeptics, and Extra Mile became the first pizza place this Gwangalli local has ever gone back to. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:00) - **Parking**: No parking in front of the restaurant; use the nearby Boseong private parking lot - **Pets**: Not allowed - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation (choose date and party size) - **Ordered**: Half-and-half pizza (birria + hot honey pepperoni), bisque cream pasta *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026 · not checked with the business* ## Why go back to Extra Mile, a Gwangalli wood-fired pizza restaurant? A repeat-visit review of Extra Mile, a wood-fired pizza spot in Gwangalli 🤍 ![Main photo from a repeat visit to wood-fired pizza spot Extra Mile in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-01-16l9p-1200.webp) Hi everyone~ 🤍 It's Jjua. As a Gwangalli local, this is the first time I've ever recommended a pizza place... and the first time I've ever gone back to one.... That's how sincerely I recommend this spot! I visited about two months ago when it was really hot, and now that it's cooled down a bit, I went out for a happy meal again. ## Extra Mile hours, parking and reservations in Gwangalli Extra Mile is open daily from 11:00 to 21:00, with last order at 20:00.

The pizza was so good last time that I ordered it again 💕 ## A converted house on a quiet Gwangalli alley ![Alley exterior of Extra Mile, a converted house](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-04-1wpwf-900.webp) It's a building converted from a house on a pretty, quiet alley. I love the sea I walk by every day, but this particular alley — with its pretty cafés, fewer crowds, and lots of restaurants made from converted houses — is somewhere I really adore. I'm so grateful Extra Mile opened here... it's so pretty I took a photo out front too 🤍 ## Inside Extra Mile: sofa seats and bar seats ![White wood-tone interior of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-05-u9t0v-900.webp) ![Dining hall with sofa seats at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-06-1w5ws-900.webp) ![Bar seating area at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-07-nh2r6-m-900.webp) ![Bright interior of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-08-12fru-900.webp) ![Seating layout inside Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-09-1orkf-900.webp) ![Overview of Extra Mile's interior design](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-10-1cdc6-900.webp) The white wood-tone, bright interior was totally my style. There are more seats than you'd think!!! Plenty of sofa seats and bar seats too, so this place would be perfect for a date. I came both times on a weekday lunch. I took this photo after everyone left, but there really were a lot of customers. ++ A couple of people also came just for takeout. ![Sunlit table seat at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-11-13w8r-900.webp) My table. It was cloudy at first but cleared up, and the light coming in was so pretty. ![Menu and cutlery laid out on a table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-12-187cx-900.webp) Once seated, the menu and cutlery are neatly laid out. ![Colored pencils and crayons with a coloring paper on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-13-1rmzu-900.webp) A fun detail here — there are colored pencils and crayons, so you can color on a paper while you wait. So cute haha ## Birria taco and hot honey pepperoni half-and-half pizza ![Half-and-half pizza with birria and hot honey pepperoni](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-14-6n509-900.webp) The pizza came out first!!🍕 The taco & cilantro pizza was totally fine for me even though I don't like cilantro — so delicious. The sauce plus the bits of taco you bite into are so good too. The combination of cheese and honey inside the pepperoni is such a sweet-and-salty combo, I'm obsessed ㅜㅜ You have to order the half-and-half pizza. It's a must, for the two flavors alone... ![Crust of the wood-fired pizza made with biga-fermented dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-15-xjxxp-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the wood-fired pizza cut with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-16-1eaom-900.webp) They say the dough is made in-house using biga (a pre-fermentation method) and a long, low-temperature aging process. The crust is crispy outside and chewy inside, and you can taste the dough's savory flavor more the more you chew. Cutting it with a knife, it's crisp! but then chewy when you bite in. I'd recommend adding the cheese crust too 🧀🤍 ## Bisque cream pasta: don't stir in the gamtae seaweed ![Bisque cream pasta topped with three shrimp and gamtae seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-17-n9jn3-900.webp) The bisque cream pasta comes with three plump shrimp on top and some gamtae (dried seaweed flakes) haha. I heard that at Extra Mile, they make each pasta's sauce from scratch so every dish keeps its own character. Maybe that's why — this was my second time having the bisque, and every bite was so full of sauce flavor. ![Noodles and sauce of the bisque cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-18-1j0sm-900.webp) ![A bite of bisque pasta with gamtae piled on shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit-19-1l24j-900.webp) They told us not to mix in the gamtae they gave us, but to eat it alongside instead — so I picked up a little at a time and piled it on the shrimp, and it became the best bisque I've ever had. ++ The white ragu pasta I ordered last time was also delicious. If you're torn, I'd recommend that one. This time I went back and forth but tried the bisque for the first time haha. ## Verdict: Gwangalli Western food for a date night With interior this nice and food this good, Extra Mile is Gwangalli Western food that's also perfect for a date... or a blind date. Everyone, you should definitely go during Chuseok holiday...🤍 ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gagil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 수영로554번가길 11 1층 - 35.1540884, 129.1150752 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%91%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%BC/@35.1540884,129.1150752,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeongnam-supper-queue/gwangalli-extra-mile-pizza-revisit/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
