Hapjeong pizza restaurant for prosciutto and spicy pasta: Pizzeria O

I was craving wood-fired pizza with a chewy, savory dough, so I headed to a wood-fired pizza place near Hapjeong Station 🍕 I demolished everything from a star-shaped pizza piled high with fresh arugula and prosciutto to a spicy seafood pasta.

Let's get straight into my review of Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station, where the dough was so soft and chewy I scraped up every last bit of the crust 👇👇

Where is Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station, and what does the sky-blue exterior look like?

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station is a wood-fired pizza restaurant within walking distance of Exit 2 of Hapjeong Station. As you walk along, you'll spot the sky-blue exterior of the restaurant from a distance 👀 Thanks to the vivid color, the place gives off a cute, charming vibe from the outside, and it looked like a perfect spot for a date.

The interior near the entrance was clean and fresh, so on a sunny day it would make for pretty photos with the exterior as a backdrop ✨

It blended nicely with the neighborhood alley vibe, so I stepped inside in a good mood.

Inside Pizzeria O: seating, table spacing and atmosphere

Unlike the sky-blue exterior, the inside of Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station had a cozy, classic atmosphere. Stepping inside, there was a nice bit of a twist waiting for me ✨

The size of the restaurant was just right for a comfortable meal with company, and the tables were spaced fairly generously.

Overall, the bright tones and warm lighting combined to create a space that felt both charming and calm at the same time.

What to order at Pizzeria O: Stella pizza plus seafood pasta

A note in the restaurant said Pizzeria O carries the know-how of Chef Lee Jin-hyung, which really raised my expectations 📖 I could feel the pride of a wood-fired pizza specialist trying to properly recreate authentic Italian flavors!

There were so many pizza options that I agonized for a while before choosing the restaurant's signature 'Stella pizza' 💸 Since the pizza is a fresh, light style, I also ordered the spicy tomato-based 'seafood pasta' to balance things out.

Stella pizza: prosciutto and arugula piled on star-shaped dough

First, crunchy pickles and spicy jalapeños arrived to cut through any greasiness, and then our ordered dishes came out right after 🍽️

The 'Stella pizza' comes on a jagged star-shaped dough piled high with prosciutto, arugula, olives, and Parmigiano cheese 🍕

It was the first time I'd seen a star-shaped pizza — isn't that just so cute, haha

When I lifted up a freshly baked slice, there were so many toppings that they spilled off to the side.

I loaded up the toppings and took a bite — the fresh arugula's signature bitterness and the salty prosciutto went really well together 😋

I usually don't eat the crust, but the dough here was so chewy and soft that I dipped it in the pasta sauce and ate every bit, haha

Seafood pasta: whole squid, mussels and shrimp in spicy pomodoro

Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station's 'seafood pasta' is loaded with plenty of seafood, including whole squid, mussels, and shrimp 🍝

With a pomodoro sauce base packed full of spicy peperoncino, a bite of this pasta after the fresh Stella pizza really cleared my palate 👍

The noodles felt thinner than regular spaghetti, so the spicy tomato sauce soaked in between the strands completely, and I scraped the whole plate clean.

Is the pizza and pasta combo at Pizzeria O worth it?

I think the life of wood-fired pizza is the chewiness of the dough and the freshness of the toppings, and this place nailed both. The chewy star-shaped dough paired with fresh prosciutto was great, and the balance with the spicy seafood pasta was excellent too.

If you want good wood-fired pizza with a great atmosphere near Hapjeong Station, I recommend Pizzeria O Hapjeong Station 👋
