Dining alone on the way to some sea-gazing, the writer ordered Extra Mile's Classic Combo, a white ragu pasta plus a birria taco and potato half-and-half pizza, and finished the whole pizza and the whole plate. Extra Mile is a Gwangalli pizzeria where even people who quickly tire of Western food can enjoy every bite to the end. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (no break time, last order 20:00) - **Reservations**: Bookable on Naver and Catch Table; join the waitlist on the Catch Table at the entrance - **Location**: 1F, 11 Suyeong-ro 554beonga-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan; 8-minute walk from Gwangan Station Exit 5 - **Parking**: No dedicated parking; use nearby private or public lots - **Seating**: 5 bar seats and plenty of 2–4 person tables (tables can be pushed together for groups) - **What was ordered**: Classic Combo: white ragu pasta + birria taco and potato half-and-half pizza - **Half-and-half pizza**: No extra charge for ordering a half-and-half pizza - **Restrooms**: Outside the restaurant, separate for men and women *as written by the visitor on Oct 18, 2026* ![Extra Mile white ragu pasta, cover photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-01-1hi6u-1200.webp) I went to Gwangalli because I wanted to stare at the sea (what Koreans call "mulmeong", zoning out at the water), and I had lunch at a pizza hotspot, Extra Mile (엑스트라마일). So why is the cover photo a pasta? There are tons of pasta shapes, but this one was an unusual noodle, and I wanted to show it off. I finished that and the pizza too, and I was honestly surprised by the size of my own stomach. Western food usually gets old fast for me and I eat very little, so I'm happy to have found a place where that doesn't happen. ## Where is Extra Mile in Gwangalli, and what are its hours? Extra Mile is an 8-minute walk from Gwangan Station Exit 5, open 11:00-21:00 (no break time, last order 20:00). You can reserve through Naver and Catch Table. It's about the same distance from the nearest bus stops, and it's close to Gwangalli Beach, so it was easy to stop by on the way to the water. They're open from morning to night, and I heard the mood changes in the evening, but when I went at midday I liked the natural light and the wood-tone interior. It was a weekend and pretty crowded, so I took photos when people had left. A lot of couples seemed to come on dates. Oh, and there's no parking lot of its own, so use a nearby private or public lot. ## Extra Mile's exterior and seating Extra Mile is a clean, white-toned Western restaurant made from a converted house. I couldn't see a sign and went by the map. If you spot a suspiciously tidy place, that's it. ![White-toned exterior of Extra Mile in a converted house](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-02-swbpe-900.webp) Only the first floor is in use right now, and you'll find a Catch Table waitlist at the entrance. If nobody's waiting, you can just walk in. ![Inside the first floor of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-03-vv9kx-900.webp) ![Extra Mile's wood-tone interior and tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-04-zxbzx-900.webp) ![Seating at Extra Mile in natural light](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-05-cqmwt-874.webp) Seating is 5 bar seats plus plenty of 2-4 person tables, and they can be pushed together, so it looked good for groups too. There's a coat rack at the entrance, so people with jackets or bags can store them easily. ![Extra Mile bar table and 2-4 person seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-06-1eygd-859.webp) ![Seating layout inside Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-07-1xe99-900.webp) ![Coat rack and seats near the Extra Mile entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-08-3pfc2-900.webp) ### Open kitchen, coloring sheets and draft beer at Extra Mile The kitchen is open and airy, yet oddly the food smell only starts to reach the front once the dishes are being served. Each seat is already set, and there are coloring sheets laid out so you don't get bored while waiting. They also pour draft beer, and even at lunchtime plenty of people ordered it. I hear it goes great with pizza, and this is when I regret not drinking. ![Extra Mile's open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-09-1mmfu-868.webp) ![Table setting and coloring sheet at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-10-tazic-900.webp) ![Area around the draft beer dispenser at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-11-a9dtn-900.webp) The restroom is outside the restaurant, separate for men and women, and kept clean. When you lock it, use both the hook and the button. ## Extra Mile menu: does half-and-half pizza cost extra? I like that the menu is simple: sets, pizzas, pastas and sides. I ordered the Classic Combo, and I was glad there's no extra charge even if you split the pizza half-and-half. ![Extra Mile menu of sets, pizzas and pastas](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-12-10oe0-754.webp) Every ingredient is listed on the menu, so I could order without worrying about allergies. People call it a Gwangalli pizza hotspot, and some unusual items caught my eye, so I went half birria taco, half potato. ## What kind of noodle comes with Extra Mile's white ragu pasta? ![White ragu pasta with lasagna-shaped noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-13-3mper-900.webp) The white ragu pasta came out first, and it isn't the usual long thin noodle. It looks like a lasagna sheet cut into quarters. I was told to mix it up, and as I stirred and the steam rose, I thought, great choice of restaurant. The beef ragu sauce was really good, and I almost scraped up the leftovers but held myself back. ![Birria taco and potato half-and-half pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-14-m1m4a-900.webp) ![Potato pizza topped with potato chips and fried bits](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-15-1sau4-900.webp) ![A slice of Extra Mile's birria taco pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-16-jaxcf-900.webp) ## How does the birria taco and potato half-and-half pizza taste? The pizza is Extra Mile's main dish, and I got one side birria taco pizza and the other potato. Half-and-half just looks nice. The potato pizza is topped with potato chips and fried bits, so it's not your ordinary potato pizza, and the server recommended picking it up and eating it rather than cutting it. The birria taco pizza was unusual too and fun to eat, and maybe because the crust edge is crisp outside and chewy inside, it really did feel like a taco. Also, when I eat this much alone the pizza usually goes cold and the edges get bad, but that didn't happen here. I can see why it's a Gwangalli pizza hotspot. ![Extra Mile Classic Combo pizza and pasta spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch-17-mow3w-900.webp) ## A whole pizza and a pasta solo: where to next in Gwangalli? So I cleanly finished a whole pizza and a pasta by myself at Extra Mile. There are also prop shops and a café street nearby, plus Gwangalli Beach, so it would work as a date course too. I ate, then sea-gazed, and next time I'd like to visit in the evening to see what the mood is like. ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro 554beonga-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 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/@routine-receipt/gwangalli-solo-pizza-pasta-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
