Why we went to Pizzeria O for wood-fired pizza near Hapjeong Station

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is a wood-fired pizzeria well known as a pizza favorite near Hapjeong Station. Since I was on a date with my mom in Hapjeong, we decided to finally have wood-fired pizza again! You can get regular pizza and pasta all over the place, or even make them at home, but you can't get wood-fired pizza just anywhere, right? haha. It needs a real wood-fired oven, and a place with chewy, tasty dough is hard to find, but Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is famous for exactly that!

What to order for three at Pizzeria O: 1 salad, 1 pizza, 1 pasta

For three people at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station, one salad, one pizza and one pasta was the perfect combo. Four of us were supposed to come, including Dad.. but he couldn't make it, so Mom, my brother and I had to pick a menu for three. Well then, 1 salad, 1 pizza, 1 pasta is just right!

There were a ricotta salad, Caesar salad, burrata salad, truffle oil fries and a wine plate, and we ordered the ricotta salad. If you're drinking wine in the evening, the wine plate sounds great too haha.

Choosing a pizza at Pizzeria O

There were really so many pizzas 🍕♥️ Gorgonzola, Sei Formaggi, Quattro Formaggi, Quattro Funghi, Margherita, 'Nduja, Prosciutto e Rucola, Patate e Würstel, Pizza Bianca (Pazza), Patate and more. There are pizzas on the front page of the menu and on the back page too, lol.

Still, we decided to choose from Pizzeria O's best sellers: Stella, salmon pizza, Margherita Bufala, Burratina, O'Pizza and Quattro Salumi!!! After agonizing, we went with the Margherita Bufala!

Choosing a pasta at Pizzeria O

For pasta too, after some agonizing, we picked from the recommended list lol. Among carbonara, Gamberi Rosé Crema, ragu pasta and Puttanesca, my brother said he was curious what ragu was and picked the ragu pasta haha.

The plates and cutlery were set so neatly haha.

What does the ricotta salad at Pizzeria O taste like?

The ricotta salad at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station tops house-made ricotta with fresh vegetables, nuts and special fried dough, dressed with white balsamic sauce. The salad came out first, and the refreshing white balsamic dressing is its charm!

And of course they prepared jalapeños and pickles to go with the pizza and pasta~

The ricotta was so mild and delicious, but that fried dough was seriously amazing! I'd never had anything like it, and because of it I'd definitely order the ricotta salad every time I go to Pizzeria O haha.

And the ragu pasta uses fresh noodles, with a ragu sauce made in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Lee Jun, apparently.

Margherita Bufala and the wood-fired pizza dough

The Margherita Bufala at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station has 16-month-aged Grana Padano and buffalo cheese, so it tastes richer than a regular Margherita. And the pizza I was most looking forward to today came out: the Margherita Bufala I picked!

I love Margherita, and this one has 16-month-aged Grana Padano and even buffalo cheese, so the flavor is deeper haha.

Ordered like this, it looks so pretty too~ and the three of us ate until we were full!

The dough was really chewy and delicious. I normally don't eat pizza crusts, but with wood-fired pizza even the crust is so good 🍕🤍

Fresh-noodle ragu pasta: how did Mom and my brother react to their first time?

The ragu pasta at Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station uses fresh noodles, which can be hit or miss, but Mom and my brother, who had never had fresh pasta, both said the texture was unusual and delicious. Fresh pasta divides people, but I love it! The sauce soaked into the noodles and clung to every bite, so I enjoyed it haha. Mom and my brother, trying fresh pasta for the first time, said the texture was unique and tasty 🤭

Overall verdict on Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station

The food was good and the staff were friendly, so Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station was a satisfying weekday family lunch. The staff were so kind as we left~ and the food was great!
