On a weekday lunch visit with a friend, the order was the Quattro Stagioni, a single pizza with four flavors, plus Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta made with penne and a lemonade. The small brazier set on the table kept the pizza from going cold, so the last slice tasted as good as the first. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Location**: Close to Exit 6, Hapjeong Station - **Hours**: 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM - **Ordered**: Quattro Stagioni pizza, Gamberi Crema (penne), lemonade - **Dough**: Handmade dough fermented for 72 hours - **Good to know**: Brazier provided on the table; choice of pasta noodle *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Main image of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-01-1adn1-900.webp) ## Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza, in the alley between Hapjeong and Sangsu Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is a wood-fired pizza and pasta restaurant tucked into the Dokmak-ro 7-gil alley, close to Exit 6 of Hapjeong Station. The backstreets between Hapjeong and Sangsu are full of old-school spots and quirky little restaurants, so it's genuinely fun to just wander and see what turns up. ![View of the alley between Hapjeong and Sangsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-02-3qv2r-900.webp) This time I came for a weekday lunch with a friend, to this Hapjeong alley spot for wood-fired pizza. I love wood-fired pizza and pasta, so I'd been curious about this place for a while. ![Exterior of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza in the Hapjeong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-03-rxcpu-900.webp) ### A cozy room built on 15 years of practice Visiting in person, I could feel the 15 years of experience behind the food, and the cozy atmosphere won me over too. Walking in, the whole space glows with warm lighting, and the wood tones give the room a calm, warm feeling. ![Interior with warm lighting and wood tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-04-g8gou-m-900.webp) Sitting across from my friend, I could immediately tell this was a great place to eat slowly and chat. I came for lunch, but the food and atmosphere won me over so much that I thought — next time, dinner, with a glass of wine alongside the pizza and pasta. ## Quattro Stagioni baked on 72-hour fermented dough Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is also known for using handmade dough fermented for 72 hours. ![Sign explaining the 72-hour fermented handmade dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-05-1y3zp-900.webp) Chewy handmade dough topped with house-made tomato sauce and natural mozzarella, baked at 400°C in an oven built from Italian Vesuvius volcanic stone — just reading that got me excited before the food even arrived. ![The wood-fired pizza menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-06-7hj0x-900.webp) It would've been a shame to try just one flavor, but luckily there's a Quattro Stagioni option that lets you enjoy four different flavors on a single pizza. ![A whole Quattro Stagioni pizza with four flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-07-1fctz-900.webp) No hesitation — I ordered the Quattro Stagioni pizza 👍 Fresh out of the wood oven, with cheese stretching in long strings, and warm enough to stay that way for a while. ![Close-up of a freshly baked wood-fired pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-08-1ipvq-900.webp) ### How the table brazier keeps the pizza hot Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza also sets a gentle warmer right on the table. ![The table-side warmer used to keep pizza hot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-09-w2r8f-900.webp) You can eat at a relaxed pace with no worry about the pizza cooling down, and just seeing that warmer on the table tells you how seriously they take their pizza. ![Quattro Stagioni pizza set on the warmer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-10-1595x-1200.webp) With American-style pizza, the thick crust always makes me feel overly full, but maybe thanks to the handmade dough, sauce, and wholesome ingredients here, I didn't feel greasy or weighed down at all even after eating a whole pizza. ![A slice showing the chewy crust](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-11-7atpc-900.webp) Savoring all the different flavors, I remembered how often two of us have left a whole pizza unfinished before. ![A plate with several pizza slices sampled](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-12-n8fsx-900.webp) But this time we happily finished it down to the very last slice. ![The pizza pan emptied down to the last slice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-13-zhkdc-900.webp) ## Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta, ordered with penne We also ordered the Gamberi Crema pasta alongside the pizza. ![A plate of Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-14-k2a56-900.webp) It's a shrimp cream pasta, and since you can choose the noodle, I went with penne this time. ![The cream pasta made with penne noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-15-1b9zs-900.webp) The penne was cooked to a nicely springy al dente texture, so it was fun to chew alongside the cream sauce. ![Penne and shrimp tossed in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-16-1iz2s-900.webp) The cream sauce had a slight kick of spice, which paired well with both the shrimp and the pizza. ![Lemonade served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-17-e0b04-900.webp) The lemonade we ordered to drink alongside the food filled in the gaps of the meal with perfect refreshment. ## Worth a visit for a relaxed meal in Hapjeong or Sangsu? Staying in business at the same spot for so long isn't easy, and you can really feel that experience come through in the food and service. ![A cozy table under warm lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-18-1ost2-900.webp) ![A corner of the restaurant that feels like a slice of Italy](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-19-mcb9n-900.webp) There's a settled flavor and a comfortable atmosphere here that you just don't get at a brand-new restaurant. Stepping off Hapjeong's busy main road and into this alley feels like stumbling on a little slice of Italy. ![View of the entrance to Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza from the alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch-20-qegg2-900.webp) On a day when you're craving chewy wood-fired pizza, pasta, and a glass of wine, this felt like a hidden gem worth visiting if you're looking for somewhere with a good atmosphere in Hapjeong or Sangsu ^^ - Address: 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (close to Exit 6 of Hapjeong Station 😊) - Hours: 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM ## Where it is - Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza (홍대화덕피자) - 5 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 독막로7길 5 1층 - 37.5481915, 126.9184473 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%ED%99%94%EB%8D%95%ED%94%BC%EC%9E%90/@37.5481915,126.9184473,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@shared-plate-hours/hapjeong-wood-fired-pizza-table-warmer-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
