Haebangchon restaurant in Seoul with fermented tomato pie: TPM hbc

How to reserve TPM hbc in Haebangchon on Catch Table

I came back to TPM hbc in Haebangchon after a while. TPM hbc, Haebangchon's go-to pizza spot!!!! 🍕♥️

It's a popular place so I was worried about the wait, but I'd booked ahead through Catch Table and got seated right away, no waiting at all. During peak hours or on weekends it can get busy and the line gets long if you just walk in, so I'd definitely recommend reserving a date and time through the Catch Table app beforehand!!!!!

TPM hbc is full of romance from the entrance. The exterior alone is exactly my style! Happy from the moment I walk in.

Now that the weather's turned cool, they've even set up outdoor tables. Sitting on the terrace with a slice of pizza and a glass of wine on a nice day sounds perfect 🍕🍷🌹 Noting this down — pizza + night garden vibes at TPM hbc in Haebangchon!!!!

What the room and the two-top seats at TPM hbc are like

TPM hbc feels like a hideout with an exotic, vintage mood. Haebangchon's signature hip edge blends perfectly with a classic feel, and it looks so pretty every time I come that it puts me in a good mood 😊 The lighting isn't too bright or too dim either — it's just right.

Today was a date day with my sister, so we took the two-top seat ✨ The tables were spaced well without feeling cramped, so it felt private and comfortable to chat and eat!!

TPM hbc menu: seasonal ingredients and wood-fired pizza

Unlike a typical pizza place, this spot combines Korean seasonal ingredients with wood-fired pizza in original ways. Gochujang sausage, bamboo shoots, seasonal apples — combinations I've never seen anywhere else. The menu seems to have changed a lot since my last visit! The owner really does seem to keep developing new menu items.

My sister and I, ready to eat 🖤

Fermented tomato pie at TPM hbc

The wood-fired pizza we ordered finally landed on the table. Fermented tomato pie. The dough was crisp outside and chewy inside, exactly the texture you want, and it stayed good all the way to the crust edge — there's just no way this doesn't taste good.

On the left are the owner's own house-made sauces. RED is red chili, GREEN is cheongyang chili (Korean green hot pepper). Dipping the pizza into the sauce made it even better, personally ❤️💚 On the right is something like a fresh pickle seasoned with just salt.

One drink per person: draft beer

Had a tasty draft beer too — it's one drink per person. I thought the draft was a bit lukewarm but just drank it anyway, and then the owner came back over and said, 'It's a bit lukewarm, isn't it?' and swapped it for a cold one right away.. ✨ They were kind from the moment we walked in, which already put me in a good mood, and yeah — kindness, full marks.

Brussels sprouts with dill yogurt

The brussels sprouts with dill yogurt we ordered as an extra. Light and nice as a side. The dill yogurt sauce feels like the real kick here. Sweet~💚

Photos from an earlier visit: window view and group table

I have photos from a previous visit too, so let me share those. I remember the Haebangchon street view through the full-length windows being so pretty. And the flowers in the vase by the window — what taste.. So beautiful ~ ✨

There's group seating too, which is great. If you're throwing a birthday party or gathering in Haebangchon, this is the spot!!! And the location is so good — there are tons of hip bars nearby for a second round after…

I even had a birthday party here once ♥️ The atmosphere and lighting at TPM hbc make for pretty photos too.

It holds up perfectly as a date spot or a weekend gathering place, and I'm planning to come back soon to work through the rest of the pizza menu. If you're looking for a good-vibe, delicious handmade pizza spot, don't hesitate — go visit.
