# Wood-fired pizza in Mapo, Seoul: Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza - By Siwon (https://superchart.com/en/@water-pitcher-6e44/) - Written Sep 11, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written with support for a restaurant visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@water-pitcher-6e44/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@water-pitcher-6e44/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/index.md) ## In short Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Mapo, Seoul, between Hapjeong and Sangsu Stations. I enjoyed a ₩26,000 Quattro Stagione pizza and ₩18,500 Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta in its relaxed dining room. Verdict: the chewy 72-hour-aged dough and subtle wood-fired aroma stood out most. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5 Dongmak-ro 7-gil, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 마포구 독막로7길 5, 1층) - **Hours**: 11:30–22:00 - **Break time**: 15:30–16:30 - **Pizza**: Quattro Stagione pizza ₩26,000 - **Pasta**: Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta ₩18,500 - **Reservations**: Recommended for groups; Naver reservations available - **Parking**: Use nearby Dangin Public Parking Lot *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Introduction to a visit to Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-01-11ucb-794.webp) Today, I visited Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza (홍대화덕피자), which I found while looking for great pizza around Hapjeong. ![Visiting Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-02-dc586-1200.webp) ![Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza restaurant image](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-03-1tmmp-900.webp) ![Visit to Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza in Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-04-11jtp-900.webp) It sits between Hapjeong and Sangsu Stations, making it nice for a walk toward Hongdae after a meal; it is also easy enough to reach for a date or gathering. Most of all, I was curious about its dough, aged for 72 hours and baked right in the restaurant's wood-fired oven. ![Wood-fired pizza with 72-hour-aged dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-05-1j3ve-900.webp) ![Wood-fired oven at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-06-8qixs-900.webp) ## A warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger Inside, the brick walls, solid-wood tables, and yellow lighting come together to create the feel of a little Italian restaurant. It is comfortable rather than overly flashy, so it was lovely to take our time over a meal and conversation. ![Restaurant interior with brick walls and wooden tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-07-1yizw-900.webp) The walls were filled with photos of guests who had visited. You could feel the years this restaurant has held its place here, and that made it look especially warm and dear to Jini Unni, who loves spaces like this. ## What does 72-hour-aged dough feel like? At the heart of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is the large wood-fired oven inside the restaurant. ![Large wood-fired oven inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-08-1s7fr-900.webp) ![Aged dough baking in the wood-fired oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-09-1309t-900.webp) Because the handmade dough is aged for 72 hours and baked quickly at high heat, the edge was golden while the inside stayed moist. One bite showed that this was not dough that is hard only on the outside—it was softly chewy, with a subtle smoky aroma. Even those who usually eat only the toppings and leave the crust would probably enjoy every last edge here. ## The pizza and pasta we ordered Best-selling menu items ![Best-selling menu items at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-10-166qz-900.webp) We ordered the ₩26,000 Quattro Stagione pizza, which lets you enjoy four flavors on one pie, the ₩18,500 Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta, and a beer. ![Quattro Stagione pizza and cream pasta order](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-11-bdxip-900.webp) ![Ordered pizza and pasta menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-12-1yy1d-900.webp) ![Ordered dishes with beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-13-e273n-900.webp) I loved the trivet that kept the pizza warm. The pink pickles that arrived first were tangy and crisp, perfect for nibbling between the pizza and cream pasta. ![Pink pickles and pizza accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-14-13e1c-900.webp) ## Four flavors of Quattro Stagione pizza The moment the Quattro Stagione pizza arrived, its size and generous cheese caught my eye. The section with tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella was fresh, while the cheese-heavy section was nutty and rich. With its flavors divided into four sections, it is a great choice when you cannot decide what to order. It was fun choosing a different flavor with every slice while eating the same pizza. ![Four-flavor Quattro Stagione pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-15-17s6c-900.webp) ![Pizza topped generously with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-16-6cklq-900.webp) ![Basil and mozzarella pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-17-1nj28-900.webp) ![Pizza dough marked by the wood-fired oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-18-akqau-900.webp) ![Stretchy melted cheese on pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-19-k38ik-900.webp) The basil aroma was incredible!! When I lifted a slice, the cheese stretched out in long strands. The tang of the tomato sauce paired beautifully with the clean flavor of natural mozzarella, and the dough had little marks from the wood-fired oven that made it look even more appetizing. If you are looking for wood-fired pizza around Hapjeong, be sure to notice the dough's texture before the toppings. ## Rich yet smooth Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta ![Gamberi Crema shrimp cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-20-xrm05-900.webp) The Gamberi Crema pasta came with a rich cream sauce clinging closely to the noodles. The sauce was thick rather than watery without being too heavy, and the plump shrimp still had a great bite. ![Shrimp pasta in thick cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-21-eb598-900.webp) A bite of cream pasta after the tomato-sauce pizza made the two different flavors flow together naturally, so the pairing worked wonderfully. The best!! ![Wood-fired pizza paired with draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-22-13ffo-900.webp) So refreshing, draft beer!! You simply cannot leave out a cold beer with pizza. Enjoying wood-fired pizza and beer together beneath the warm lights made this a fitting spot for a Hapjeong date or a Hongdae gathering too. ## Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza: final thoughts More than flashy toppings, what stayed with me from Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza was the chewiness of its aged dough and its wood-fired aroma. ![Final thoughts on the aged-dough wood-fired pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-23-1mf21-900.webp) ![Finishing a meal of pizza and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough-24-3ld14-900.webp) You can enjoy both pizza and pasta, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a good place for an unhurried meal. I recommend it to anyone looking for pizza around Hapjeong and Hongdae, or for properly baked wood-fired pizza near Sangsu Station. ### Restaurant information - Address: 5 Dongmak-ro 7-gil, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 마포구 독막로7길 5, 1층) - Located on the first floor, so it is very easy to find - Hours: 11:30–22:00 - Break time: 15:30–16:30 - Reservations are recommended for groups; reserve through Naver - Parking: use nearby Dangin Public Parking Lot They are running an event too, so I think it would be nice to join in. ## Where it is - Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza (홍대화덕피자) - 5 Dongmak-ro 7-gil, 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 독막로7길 5 1층) - 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/@water-pitcher-6e44/hapjeong-woodfired-pizza-dough/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
