Gwangalli pasta restaurant with San Pellegrino: Extra Mile, Busan

Hi it's Yuin 🐰 How's everyone doing? With the cool morning and evening breezes of fall coming in, I recently went to Gwangalli to catch some sea views! 🌊 There are so many great view spots around Gwangalli, but this time I found a place with seriously top-tier interior and genuinely delicious pizza and pasta 🍕🍝 Every corner of the space was so full of mood that I ended up with a ton of pretty photos! 📸

Honestly, every single space was styled so tastefully that it's perfect for couples wanting a nice mood, or just a great date course. ✨ Usually when the interior is pretty, the food ends up being disappointingly average, but here — one bite of the pizza and pasta and I was like "wow, this is actually good!" 🤤 Everyone get ready to scroll! 👀🤍

Inside Extra Mile in Gwangalli: wood interior and seating

Extra Mile is a pizza and pasta restaurant in Gwangalli decorated with soft lighting and heavy wood interior. The mood that hit me the second I walked in was so pretty 🫧

I love a warm, cozy vibe, and with the soft lighting plus that heavy, sensible wood interior, the coziness the space gave off was next level 🤎 Every little prop and piece of furniture placement showed the owner's taste, and I was so busy hunting for pretty angles to photograph! 📸 A space that hit my taste dead-on.

Coloring paper and crayons on every table

There's coloring paper and crayons set out on the tables at Extra Mile, so waiting for the food was never boring. Even these little details on the table were so cute!

There was coloring paper to doodle on and cute little crayons so the wait time flew by. 🎨🖍️ Instead of just staring at our phones, we got to color together like going back to childhood, and it made the conversation and mood so much softer and lovely. The crayon colors were pretty too — just set them on that emotional wood table and snap a photo, and you get an instantly Instagram-worthy shot! ✨

They even have aprons haha

What we ordered at Extra Mile

• Half hot honey pepperoni, half birria taco pizza
• Bisque cream pasta
• San Pellegrino 300ml

Being able to order the pizza half-and-half was great — got to try both flavors 👍

How does the bisque cream pasta taste?

Extra Mile's bisque cream pasta was the star of the day. It's a cream pasta made with a bisque sauce deeply steeped in shellfish, so it wasn't heavy at all.

Let me talk about today's main event first... I genuinely want to go back to Gwangalli just for this pasta again 🥹 The bisque sauce is made by deeply steeping shellfish like shrimp, so the flavor is on a totally different level — mixed with the cream, it's rich but not greasy, and the shrimp aroma fills your mouth the second you take a bite 🦐 Usually cream pasta gets tiring after a few bites, but this one has such deep umami that I kept eating.. the sauce coated the noodles thickly, strand by strand holding onto that sauce — I loved it, seriously 💕

Half hot honey pepperoni, half birria taco pizza

For our half-and-half pizza at Extra Mile, we picked hot honey pepperoni and birria taco. The salty pepperoni with honey made for a perfect sweet-salty-spicy combo.

First half was the hot honey pepperoni and birria taco pizza!

Pepperoni was piled on without a single gap, drizzled with honey on top — the salty pepperoni, the sweet honey, and a slight spicy kick at the end made for a perfect sweet-salty-spicy combo 🔥

The edge pepperoni got slightly crispy, so the texture was top-notch too!

San Pellegrino 300ml to drink

For drinks, I picked San Pellegrino 300ml. It cleansed the palate nicely between bites of cream pasta and pizza.

The carbonation wasn't too strong, just softly bubbling, so it cleansed the palate nicely between the cream pasta and pizza — nothing better for cutting through the richness 👍

Tips for visiting Extra Mile in Gwangalli

• Order the pizza half-and-half to try two flavors at once!
• Don't leave leftover pasta sauce — dip your pizza crust in it
• Since it's a cream + pizza combo, I recommend pairing it with sparkling water!
• On a Saturday, I highly recommend lunch here, a beach walk, and catching the Gwangalli drone show in the evening 🌊✨
