It's about an 8-minute walk from Exit 5 of Gwangan Station, and also easy to reach by bus, so it's perfect for a no-car trip! (You're not really supposed to drive to Gwangalli anyway, right?) ### 10-minute wait for weekend lunch We arrived right around lunchtime so there was a wait. But there's a waiting area right out front with seating, so we sat comfortably and waited about 10 minutes before being seated. ⭐️ If you really hate waiting, check CatchTable before you go ⭐️ Even though it just opened recently, it's run by the owners of Free Will Pizza, Pickles, and Upper East Bakery, so a lot of people are showing up — which made me even more excited. ![Menu board posted outside Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-03-1w2hx-900.webp) They also posted the menu outside the shop, so it was nice to browse and decide what to order while waiting. ![Coat hanger placed at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-04-1hiqp-900.webp) ## A converted house with wood tones — what are the seats like? The coat hanger right as you walk in is insanely pretty .. isn't it so nice? It was empty because it's hot out, but even empty, the space was gorgeous. In winter it'll be full of coats ☺️ ![Semi-private table seating near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-05-1mpfe-856.webp) The tables near the entrance feel semi-private, so they'd be great for families or anyone coming with a baby. ![Bar seating in front of the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-06-hklqw-900.webp) ![Bar seating area with plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-07-ok74q-900.webp) ![Seating near Extra Mile's open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-08-17ovd-900.webp) There's also bar seating, so bar-seat lovers, this one's for you .. ♥︎ The open kitchen definitely builds trust, and with plants placed everywhere, it's a bar zone that'll drive plant lovers wild. ![View of the wood-toned dining hall from further inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-09-1wmfn-900.webp) This is the view of Extra Mile looking in from further inside.

You can add cheese crust for ₩4,000 Why did I only just find this out now •• 🥹 The dough was genuinely chewy and delicious — confirmed, this is a real pizza spot in Gwangalli 🍕 The Birria Taco is a taco-flavored pizza that taco lovers will go crazy for It has cilantro in it, so cilantro-haters take note. The cilantro flavor is fairly strong, so if you love cilantro you'll love this one! Hot Honey Pepperoni was my boyfriend's and my top pick Loaded with pepperoni, just the right amount of saltiness and spice — you have to order this one !! Genuinely delicious 🖤 ![Close-up of a pizza slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-20-1g6mx-900.webp) ### White ragu pasta You can also choose from four pastas, and I went with the white ragu pasta. It's loaded with ground beef and pork, so meat lovers, this pasta is a must! The noodles were also cooked just right, nice and firm. Eating this made me curious how good the other pastas must be .. 💭🤍 ## The romesco & grilled vegetables side that felt like the main dish ![A plate of white ragu pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-21-h5gwp-864.webp) ![Grilled vegetable side with romesco sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-22-on4o4-900.webp) Grilled eggplant, zucchini, carrot, and sweet pumpkin over a special sauce, topped with a sprinkle of nuts — a side dish that honestly felt like a main Honestly, this is my top pick ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I already love grilled vegetables, but my fiancé, who doesn't even eat carrots, said the carrots here were delicious .. The sauce tasted a bit like Mexicana seasoning, but anyway, it's insanely good, so please order this as a side too ㅠㅠㅠ ![Table set with pizza, pasta, and grilled vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-23-1o03d-900.webp) ((Anyone watching would think the blogger owns this place)) ![Pizza crust topped with romesco grilled vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage-24-11owh-900.webp) I never eat the pizza crust, but pairing Extra Mile's romesco-soaked grilled vegetables with it was heavenly — you have to try this combo •• A pretty new sunlit restaurant, Extra Mile If you're heading out to Gwangalli and looking for a great Italian spot, I'd recommend this one 🤍 ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro554beon-gagil, 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/@rainy-table/gwangalli-western-extramile-walkable-corkage/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
