I came here because I heard that there is a restaurant run by the champion who one at the Naples Pizza Competition.
There are many different restaurants that I want to visit in the alley where this restaurant is located.
I couldn't get it visible on this picture but at the right corner, there is a photo banner of the owner proudly holding the trophy.
I was little dazed when I got inside.
There are lot of customers even though it's late lunchtime. Besides, there are many elderly people.
It was my stereotype that only young people would come to these Italian restaurants.
I look over the menu while waiting.
I'm going to come with someone and try pasta later, so I'm going to choose one from pizza this time.
Cotto e Cipolla pizza is my choice.
There is a firewood oven on the corner of the restaurant, and the owner and the staff are making pizza.
There are large number of staffs, it means there are a lot of customers.
The atmosphere inside is a friendly neighborhood restaurant where you can visit comfortably anytime.
I was wondering that the big bowls on each tables were for, but I saw from othere tables that it's for keeping the pizza warm on it.
Here's mine, the first pizza I've ever tried.
Mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, and basil are topped on tomato sauce.
The onions seem to have been baked in a fire oven.
It's not too salty and the combination of ham and onion is fresh to me. The dough is chewy as it's an oven pizza.
They don't have holidays but they have a break time in the afternoon.
It's located in the alley 5 minutes away from exit 5 of Hapjeong station.
Address: Yanghwa 6-gil, Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul 28
