Jongno pizza restaurant with self-serve hot sauce: Low Five Anguk

Some Seoul restaurant intel for you — Low Five Anguk.

I went for dinner with a friend on a weekday evening in Anguk and we stopped by Low Five Anguk. The vibe was casual but comfortable, so it works well for a Jongno dinner with friends, a first date spot, or a general Anguk date course. Best of all, everything from the half-and-half pizza to the spicy pasta was delicious, so let me introduce it as a pizza restaurant near Anguk Station!

What two people should order at Low Five Anguk: pizza, pasta and salad

The two of us ordered the half-and-half pizza (₩26,000), shrimp spicy rigatoni (₩18,000), classic Caesar salad (₩12,000), and a zero-sugar cola (₩3,000). Beyond pizza, pasta, and salad, there's also fried rice and a good lineup of beer, wine, and ade to pair with your meal, so you can pick what suits your taste.

With pizza, pasta, and a salad on the table, it was a pretty filling spread for two people. If you want to try a variety of dishes, ordering like this to share seems like a good idea.

Hot sauce and parmesan at the Low Five Anguk self-serve bar

In the middle of the restaurant, there's a station with hot sauce, parmesan cheese, tissues, and more all in one place. If you need anything while eating, you just grab it yourself, and adding hot sauce or parmesan to the pizza to suit your taste worked really well.

Half-and-half pizza with corn and hot chili potato (26,000 won)

Low Five Anguk's half-and-half pizza is ₩26,000, and we picked the corn and hot chili potato combination. We went half-and-half because it felt like a waste to pick just one pizza flavor.

The corn pizza had a white truffle cream base topped with bacon, chili shrimp, and grilled corn — nutty and sweet flavors that went well together. The other side, hot chili potato, had hot chili sauce with bacon and potato for a different kind of spicy flavor from the corn pizza.

I liked being able to go back and forth between two different flavors on one pizza. Between the two, corn pizza was more my style — the popping corn kernels added a sweet, nutty flavor that kept me reaching for another slice.

Shrimp spicy rigatoni, the spicy match for the pizza (18,000 won)

For pasta, we picked the shrimp spicy rigatoni at ₩18,000. The plump rigatoni was well coated in creamy sauce with big shrimp on top. The mild creaminess with a touch of spice made it more addictive than I expected.

Ordering the Caesar salad along with the pizza and pasta made the meal feel like a varied little course, with something to reach for in between bites. Alternating between the nutty, sweet corn pizza and the spicy pasta was a great combination in particular.

Is Low Five Anguk worth it as a pizza spot near Anguk Station?

Low Five Anguk was a pizza restaurant that filled up quickly even on a weekday evening. We got to try two pizza flavors with the half-and-half, plus the shrimp spicy rigatoni, and overall it was a satisfying meal.
