Arriving at 6:40pm on a weekday meant no wait for a two-top table at the back, where the Classic Combo (42,000 won) covered a hot honey pepperoni and birria taco half-and-half pizza plus white ragu pasta, served with a house salad. The wide curly noodles carried plenty of the creamy ragu sauce and the crust stayed good to the last bite, making Extra Mile an easy choice for a Gwangalli date or group dinner. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; nearby paid parking available - **Reservations**: Available through Naver Reservation and Catchtable - **Classic Combo**: 42,000 won (1 pizza + 1 pasta) - **Pizza a la carte**: 26,000 won - **White ragu pasta**: 18,000 won - **House salad**: 12,000 won - **Drinks**: Sprite 2,500 won, San Pellegrino grapefruit 4,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* If you love the egg potato pizza at Free Will Pizza in Seomyeon, you'll probably be curious about Extra Mile, their new spot in Gwangalli. It's a new space from Free Will Pizza where you can enjoy pizza made with house dough alongside pasta dishes, each built around its own distinct sauce! ![Table of pizza and pasta at Extra Mile in Gwangalli](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-01-14bh8-844.webp) As soon as I heard about it I went with a friend haha. Let me introduce Extra Mile in Gwangalli, where we tried the hot honey pepperoni and birria taco half-and-half pizza, white ragu pasta, and house salad :-) ## Where is Extra Mile in Gwangalli, and what are its hours? ![Entrance to Extra Mile restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-02-lrrke-900.webp) - Location: 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:00 - Last order: 20:00 - Parking: No dedicated lot; use nearby paid parking - Reservations: Available via Naver Reservation and Catchtable ![Alley view between Gwangan Station and Gwangalli Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-03-bpg8e-900.webp) Extra Mile in Gwangalli sits between Gwangan Station and Gwangalli Beach. It's on the alley known for well-known cafés like Helmet and Le Temps, so it's a great spot to explore around before or after a meal. ## A bright, roomy space inside a converted house ![Exterior of Extra Mile, converted from a house](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-04-bj2c0-1200.webp) Extra Mile's exterior is a converted house that blends naturally into the alley's atmosphere. It's larger than the Seomyeon Free Will Pizza location with more tables, so we could eat a bit more comfortably! ![Bright interior of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-05-od5yl-900.webp) ![Table layout inside Extra Mile's dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-06-hszc6-900.webp) The interior, decorated mostly in bright tones, felt sleek but not overly formal, so it was comfortable to hang around in haha. They say the space was inspired by relaxed American dining in LA, and visiting in person, it did feel more like casual dining where you can enjoy pizza and pasta calmly in a laid-back atmosphere :-) ## Weekday evening seating at Extra Mile and room for groups ![Seating at Extra Mile on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-07-10nsn-900.webp) We visited Extra Mile around 6:40pm on a weekday and got seated right away with no wait! There were all kinds of guests — families with kids, friends, couples — eating together haha. Most seats are 4-person tables, but I also spotted bar seats and two 2-person tables in the back. We sat at one of the back two-tops :-) ![Two-person table in the back of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-08-1bqvt-786.webp) ![Bar seats and a four-person table at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-09-wetl8-900.webp) There was even a group of six during our visit. Staff pushed tables together or separated them to accommodate the group size! It felt like a great spot for a Gwangalli date or a gathering with friends. ## Extra Mile menu prices and what we ordered ![Extra Mile menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-10-1o8we-900.webp) We ordered the Classic Combo, a set for two that comes with pizza and pasta together. - Classic Combo ₩42,000 (1 pizza + 1 pasta) - Pizza (single) ₩26,000 - White ragu pasta ₩18,000 - House salad ₩12,000 - Sprite ₩2,500 - San Pellegrino grapefruit ₩4,000 ![Classic Combo pizza and pasta set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-11-lv1ht-900.webp) ![Table with house salad and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-12-1u0uw-767.webp) You can pick two flavors half-and-half at no extra charge, and we chose the signature hot honey pepperoni and birria taco as our half-and-half, plus white ragu for the pasta! With the house salad and drinks added, we got to enjoy pizza, pasta, and vegetables all at one table :-) ## Half-and-half pizza: hot honey pepperoni and birria taco Extra Mile makes its dough in-house using Italian flour and a biga pre-fermentation method. Maybe because of the long, low-temperature aging, the edges were lightly crispy while the inside stayed chewy haha. ![Cross-section of hand-made pizza crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-13-1pmhy-636.webp) What stood out most was the nutty flavor of the dough that came through the more you chewed! Usually with toppingless crust I end up leaving some behind, but here I kept reaching for it all the way to the end. This was pizza that didn't rely solely on toppings — the dough itself had great flavor and texture. ### Hot honey pepperoni with a gentle sweetness ![Slice of hot honey pepperoni pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-14-lson8-751.webp) The hot honey pepperoni wasn't as heavily seasoned or salty as I expected — the savory saltiness of the pepperoni was layered with a subtle sweetness from the honey. I felt the same way at Seomyeon Free Will Pizza: they know how to use sweetness pleasantly without overdoing it! The sweetness didn't jump out front but instead lifted the pepperoni's flavor and blended naturally with the nutty dough. ### Birria taco pizza: how strong is the cilantro? ![Birria taco pizza topped with beef and cilantro salsa](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-15-1y000-778.webp) The birria taco pizza is topped with beef, cilantro salsa, and sour cream. My friend, who isn't great with cilantro, hesitated between this and another pizza but said she was curious and wanted to try it haha. Once we tasted it, the combination of meat and sauce clearly evoked tacos, but the cilantro flavor was milder than expected. ![Slice of birria taco pizza with sour cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-16-8wbcd-900.webp) Even my friend, who struggles with cilantro, ate it without any trouble :-) The sour cream mellowed the beef's rich flavor, and the chewy dough added a different kind of textural fun than an actual taco. If you like tacos or are looking for a slightly different pizza in Gwangalli, this one is worth keeping an eye on! ## White ragu pasta with wide curly noodles For pasta we chose the white ragu, made with wide, wavy curly noodles. The sauce clung generously in the grooves of the noodles! The wide noodles had a great chew, and the more we ate, the more we picked up on the noodles' nutty flavor haha. ![White ragu pasta with wide curly noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-17-1kulu-822.webp) Loading up on the white ragu sauce brought out an even richer, smoother flavor, and the occasional crunch of pepper was great too! The pepper's subtle bite balanced the sauce, so it was delicious right to the last bite. ## The butterhead lettuce house salad For a side we ordered the house salad, butterhead lettuce with ranch dressing. Since we enjoyed the al배추 (napa cabbage) salad at Free Will Pizza too, we were curious about Extra Mile's version! ![Butterhead lettuce house salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-18-em4k3-900.webp) ![Plate of house salad with ranch dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-19-1faho-724.webp) The soft yet crisp vegetables paired with the nutty ranch dressing made the salad satisfying on its own. Eaten between bites of pizza and pasta, it refreshed the palate and worked well with the rest of the menu :-) ## Is Extra Mile good for a Gwangalli date or group dinner? ![Two-person table with pizza, pasta, and salad together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-20-rwl77-781.webp) At Extra Mile in Gwangalli, we got to enjoy a variety of house-made pizza, pasta, and salad all at one table! With a bright, sleek space and a range of table setups, I think it's great for a couple's date or a gathering with friends! ![Full view of the half-and-half pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-21-13baq-900.webp) ![Table at the end of the meal at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner-22-7yca7-816.webp) It was a Gwangalli restaurant worth visiting when you don't want to compromise on either atmosphere or food! If you're planning a date or gathering in Gwangalli this weekend, Extra Mile is a great place to enjoy pizza and pasta together :-) ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro 554beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor - 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/@jinyang-milbat-table/gwangalli-extramile-white-ragu-pasta-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
