The order was the Manjo + Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half pizza (₩25,000) and the Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta (₩19,500), and dipping the chewy pizza crust into the shrimp oil sauce was the most memorable bite of the meal. Baby chairs are available, so Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza also works for dinner with a child. ## Good to know - **Location**: Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza, 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:00 - **Closed**: Every Tuesday / closed on Chuseok day - **Parking**: No parking on site; Dangin 1 Public Parking Lot (402-1 Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu) recommended - **Baby chairs**: Available - **Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta**: ₩19,500 - **Manjo pizza + Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half**: ₩25,000 - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18 · ₩19,500 ≈ $14 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* Had a reason to head out to Hongdae for the first time in a while, and while searching for good pizza spots I heard rumors of a wood-fired pizza place called Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza near Sangsu/Hapjeong stations, so I went to check it out!! ![Visit to Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza near Sangsu/Hapjeong stations](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-01-1qdvt-1200.webp) ## What we ordered at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza, and the prices There were so many tasty-looking menu items that I agonized for a while before landing on the Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta (₩19,500) and the Manjo pizza + Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half (₩25,000). The pizza was great, but honestly the pasta's oil sauce is what really stuck with me — let me introduce this pasta spot right now hahaha ![Entrance of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-02-o6iuo-900.webp) ![Exterior view of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza on Dokmak-ro 7-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-03-3j7w9-m-900.webp) ## Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza location, hours and parking near Sangsu Station - Location: 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza - Hours: Daily 11:30–21:00 / closed every Tuesday, closed on Chuseok holiday itself - Parking: Danin 1 Public Parking Lot, 402-1 Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul (no dedicated parking support, but this public lot is the cheapest and closest, so I recommend it) - Baby chairs available ![Wood-toned seating inside Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-04-17bub-900.webp) ![Interior of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza with an antique atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-05-1gweo-900.webp) ## What is the wood-tone, antique interior like? The inside of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza has an overall antique, wood-toned feel that gave off a warm, cozy impression. Dark solid wood tables and furniture blend naturally into the space, and with soft lighting added on top, it felt slightly vintage yet comfortable. ![Interior with dark wood tables and soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-06-278up-900.webp) Rather than the clean modern interiors that are common these days, it has more of a classic, old European restaurant feel, which actually matched the wood-fired pizza really well haha ![Classic interior reminiscent of a European restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-07-q3dkn-900.webp) ![Seating layout inside Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-08-1fhw6-900.webp) ### A Hongdae wood-fired pizza place with baby chairs Since we'd made a reservation, they'd already set the basics at our table — and wow, a wood-fired pizza spot in Hongdae that even has baby chairs, what a rare find haha. I kept the menu on video. ![Table set up for a reservation](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-09-1trcw-900.webp) After we ordered, they lit a candle so we could keep enjoying the wood-fired pizza warm all the way through — nice touch, well played. ![A candle lit on the table to keep the food warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-10-18e3b-900.webp) ![Table at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza with a lit candle](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-11-1vrzi-900.webp) While waiting for our order, I also took a peek at the wood-fired oven haha ![View of the wood-fired oven inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-12-1r5ye-900.webp) ## How the Manjo + Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half pizza tasted Enter the Manjo and Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half. One half was the Manjo pizza with a tomato base topped with beef, and the other half was Fungi Prosciutto, topped with mushrooms and prosciutto. ![Manjo and Fungi Prosciutto half-and-half pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-13-kj6nl-900.webp) The Fungi Prosciutto had a great combo of the mushrooms' clean flavor and the prosciutto's salty punch, ![Slice of Fungi Prosciutto pizza topped with mushrooms and prosciutto](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-14-5e86b-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Fungi Prosciutto pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-15-1idij-900.webp) and the Manjo pizza had the fresh tang of tomato sauce plus the savory, rich flavor of the beef, which made it easy to eat without feeling heavy. I'm officially calling this Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza's best menu item. You'd think beef on top would make it heavy or greasy, but the tomato base kept things balanced, and the chewiness of the crust in particular was amazing. The outside was golden-browned, the edge slightly crisp, and the inside chewy, so I ended up happily eating all the way to the very edge of the pizza. ![Manjo pizza showing its chewy crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-16-vb23e-900.webp) ## Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta, ₩19,500 And finally, the Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta I'd been wanting arrived. ![A plate of Gamberi e Rucola shrimp oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-17-d7xuq-900.webp) ![Oil pasta topped with shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and rucola](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-18-tq46k-900.webp) Topped with shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and rucola (arugula), it looked pretty fresh and light — and when I tasted it, the oil sauce was genuinely delicious. Oil pastas can easily end up feeling greasy, but this one's sauce was clean yet full of savory depth, so I just kept going back for more!!!! ![Plate of shrimp pasta with leftover oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-19-n6x5n-900.webp) ### Dipping the pizza crust in the shrimp oil sauce But then, midway through, I randomly dipped a pizza crust into this sauce... and it was absolutely wild. The chewy wood-fired dough soaked up the shrimp oil sauce and turned moist, giving a completely different flavor from eating the pizza alone. This place is a truly legit Sangsu Station find — seriously, take note. ![Dipping a pizza crust into the shrimp oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-20-xpifm-900.webp) ![Close-up of wood-fired pizza dough soaked in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-21-1q992-900.webp) Eventually I just started scooping the sauce with a spoon and pouring it directly onto the pizza lol. Highly, highly recommend eating it this way. ![Soda received from the after-meal review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta-22-cqm2p-900.webp) ## One ordering tip for Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza After finishing everything, a sip of soda from their review event as a palate cleanser would've been perfect, right? Personally, I think ordering the pizza half-and-half should be the golden rule at this place — everything's so good that sticking to just one flavor feels like a waste. And I'd also strongly recommend getting the pasta alongside it, because it's just that good 😀 If you're looking for a good spot near Sangsu Station, definitely stop by Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza. ## Where it is - Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza (홍대화덕피자) - 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 독막로7길 5 1층 - 37.5481915, 126.9184473 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%ED%99%94%EB%8D%95%ED%94%BC%EC%9E%90/@37.5481915,126.9184473,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-table-lantern/sangsu-wood-fired-pizza-shrimp-oil-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
