Happy hour ₩10,000 beer and cheese tteokbokki side at Eopija

Eopija's hours and parking

• Hours: Mon–Sun 16:00–02:00
• Parking: Use nearby public parking lot

I visited Eopija, a pizza spot near Yeongchang Station, craving pizza for an early dinner. The exterior had a stylish yet cozy feel, like the kind of hangout you'd want to have in your own neighborhood. When I go looking for good places to eat near Yeongchang Station, what to order matters, but so does whether the atmosphere feels relaxed enough to stay a while — and Eopija gave off that easy, welcoming vibe from the first look.

A menu board stood outside the entrance listing all of Eopija's food and drink options, so I could check the lineup before even stepping inside.

A comfortable spot even solo

After roughly deciding what to order, I stepped inside to find soft lighting and a neatly arranged interior. The seating was spaced out generously enough that the meal never felt cramped, and the variety of table setups meant it worked equally well for solo diners looking for a relaxed place in Yangcheon to eat and drink alone.

Premium Set A for ₩29,900: pick 4 flavors

After looking over the menu at my seat, I settled on today's meal: the Premium Set A (₩29,900) and two Zero Cokes (₩2,500 each). The Premium Set A comes with pizza, a side, and a vegetable salad, which suited my mood since I wanted to sample a few things rather than just one dish. Among Eopija's many pizza options, you can choose up to 4 flavors, so I picked sweet corn cheese, bacon, spicy bulgogi, and sweet potato, and chose tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) as my side.

Happy hour 4–8pm: one side and a beer for ₩10,000

While looking around after ordering, I noticed a happy hour sign posted on one wall: visit between 16:00 and 20:00 and get one of four side menus plus a beer for ₩10,000. That window covers everything from early evening through after-work hours, making it a good option for anyone who wants a light beer with their pizza — and a solid choice if you're looking for a place in Yangcheon to drink alone.

While waiting for the food, we were given Pizza Time, a nostalgic retro snack, as a complimentary starter. Seeing that old-school snack again after so long felt oddly comforting, small as it was.

On one side of the restaurant was a neatly organized self-serve bar stocked with water and various sauces, along with everything else you might need during the meal — hot sauce, parmesan cheese powder, tissues, and wet wipes, all free to grab as needed.

First to arrive at the table was the Zero Coke I ordered, along with a cup of ice. Pouring the canned coke over the ice made for a refreshing sip that cleared my palate nicely while waiting for the main dish.

What the Set A spread looks like

After chatting for a bit, the Premium Set A from Eopija arrived at the table. Centered on a half pizza split into four flavors, it came with tteokbokki, vegetable salad, nachos, dipping sauce, and pickles.

The first thing that caught my eye was, of course, the pizza divided into four flavors — sweet corn cheese, bacon, spicy bulgogi, and sweet potato, each with its own distinct toppings, making it fun just to look at before picking one slice at a time.

How each of the four flavors tasted

The sweet corn cheese slice combined popping corn kernels with savory cheese for an overall light, easy-to-eat flavor. The bacon pizza had a salty edge with the crispy texture of bacon that grew more savory with each bite, while the spicy bulgogi balanced savory bulgogi flavor with a spicy sauce that kept pulling me back for more. Finally, the sweet potato slice brought a soft, sweet mousse that spread gently across the palate — a completely different, sweeter charm from the other three.

The cheese pepperoni tteokbokki side

The tteokbokki (rice cake) I ordered alongside the pizza turned out to be more memorable than expected. With pepperoni mixed into the chewy rice cakes and cheese piled generously on top, it looked nothing like typical tteokbokki. Once the cheese had fully melted, picking up a rice cake revealed a spicy-sweet sauce layered with the salty richness of pepperoni — a genuinely different take on the dish.

The accompanying nachos, dipping sauce, pickles, and vegetable salad were great to alternate with the pizza and tteokbokki. With such a varied side lineup alongside the mains, this place works well not just for friends or couples but also as a spot in Yangcheon to enjoy pizza and a drink solo.

When to go

Eopija, a pizza spot near Yeongchang Station, is a comfortable choice whether you just want a light pizza meal or a beer after work. It's great for visiting with friends or a partner to enjoy a variety of pizza flavors and sides, and just as good for spending a relaxed evening alone with pizza and beer. If you're looking for a spot in Yangcheon to drink solo that checks multiple boxes, I'd recommend giving it a try.
