Didi's Pizza Pub's American pub-style interior

Feel-good pop music, neon signs, and an interior that reminds you of an American pub! Exotic touches all over Didi's Pizza Pub made it really charming. It feels casual yet lively, so it suits not only get-togethers with friends but also group dinners in Jonggak or meetups in Gwanghwamun 🍻

Complimentary sides: pickles and tteokbokki snack crackers

Didi's Pizza Pub brought pickles and tteokbokki-flavored snacks (a crunchy snack tasting like spicy rice cakes) as the basic spread. It's been ages since I've seen those snacks, lol. They're a nice light nibble while you wait for the pizza, and I kept picking one up whenever my mouth felt bored.

What I ordered at Didi's Pizza Pub

At Didi's Pizza Pub near Jonggak Station, I ordered two things: the handmade-dough Didi's Pizza and the Spicy Cream Toowoomba Pasta!

• Handmade-dough Didi's Pizza ₩14,000
• Spicy Cream Toowoomba Pasta ₩17,800

How does the handmade-dough Didi's Pizza taste?

The handmade-dough Didi's Pizza is a pizza with a thick handmade crust topped with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, onions and more. Ta-da! Even garlic and cheese sauce is on top, and the toppings are so generous that even one slice seems filling.

Didi's Pizza is generously topped with 100% natural cheese. With that much natural cheese piled on the handmade dough, it's a total cheese bomb 🧀

Befitting a Gwanghwamun pizza favorite, Didi's Pizza also has plenty of tomato sauce. These days a lot of places barely have any tomato sauce on their pizza, but Didi's is generous with it, which was totally my thing! haha The tangy tomato sauce and rich cheese go so well together that we cleared the whole pizza in no time 🍕

Tired of plain pizza? Dip it in Toowoomba cream sauce

You know how you get a little tired of eating only pizza?! I cleansed my palate with pickles in between, and dipping the Didi's Pizza in the sauce of the Spicy Cream Toowoomba Pasta I ordered alongside gave the pizza a whole different charm 😋

Spicy Cream Toowoomba Pasta: portion size and ingredients

The Spicy Cream Toowoomba Pasta at Didi's Pizza Pub adds a kick of spice to a smooth cream sauce, so it cuts through the richness of the pizza. I ordered it to eat with the pizza, and with shrimp, bacon and even scallops packed in, the portion was quite a lot bigger than I expected.

There are 4 shrimp in it, SOOOooooo!! I was touched 💗 For a shrimp lover, the more shrimp in the pasta, the better,,,

The spicy, thick Toowoomba pasta also has pepperoncino in it, so the heavy cream sauce comes with extra heat, and it went with Didi's Pizza better than I expected!
