Suseong, Daegu pizza takeout: truffle mayo & ranch sauces, Clap Pizza

Clap Pizza Daegu Believe Heritage is a pizza shop on the ground floor of the Believe Heritage shopping arcade on Deuran-ro in Suseong, Daegu. The writer pre-ordered a large half-and-half pizza (garlic shrimp + basil tomato mascarpone), added truffle mayo and creamy ranch sauces, and picked it all up for 24,900 won. The basil tomato mascarpone half was the real winner, and with sauces included, the Clap Pizza half-and-half is a great mid-20,000-won takeout dinner for trying two flavors at once.
