EDITORS NOTE: pizzasta has closed
I’ll be there for you isn’t just a phrase from the theme song of Friends, it’s also the motto of Pizzasta, a pizzeria located on the funky streets of Hongdae. It’s an open air spot perfect to just walk up to the counter and order a slice before hitting a bar or to grab a seat and soak up the booze after a night out.
They keep things simple at Pizzasta with only a handful of choices. They do pizza by the slice and you can choose between Margarita, Pepperoni, Salami, Zucchini, Bolgoi, Mushroom, or Potato Bacon. As an added surprise, just in case you aren’t in the mood for pizza, you can also order either the fried potato or currywurst. Currywurst is exactly how you imagine it would be.
The pizza is Roman style and cut into squares. The slice isn’t weighed down by a ton of unnecessary ingredients. It’s balanced with just the right amount of tomato sauce and cheese. At the price they’re offering its not a bad deal at all.
To wash it all down they have soft drinks and beer on tap.
