Review
One of the most popular dishes, is for sure the chicago style pizza. However, it was not available the day we went.
Just by looking at the picture, it seems tasty. But now, it will be time to discover it by yourself.
1. Belgian Potato (벨지안 포테이토)
For the side dish, we order the belgian potatoes, which were so savory!
The potatoes were soft. However, they still had a crunchy side on them, which gave a nice texture to them. I never thought before about eating fries with mustard, but the mustard sauce they created was so tasty that I even wished that there was more.
2. Margherita Pizza (마르게리따 피자)
The pesto sauce gave a good flavor to this margherita pizza! Also, the quality and flavor of the cheese was so good, that it would even melt in your mouth.
The pizza crust is thin, but its crunchy texture makes it addictive to eat.
3. Gorgonzola Pizza (고르곤졸라 피자)
and Double Potato Pizza (더블 포테이토 피자)
They let you order half and half pizza. Because of that, we ordered two flavors.
The gorgonzola pizza was definitely my favorite! They give you honey for you to use it as dressing. However, I am not used to that flavor combination and rather ate the pizza directly like that. Needless to say, the taste of the cheese was pretty delicious by itself.
On the other hand, the potato pizza was a bit spicy. Even so, it was enjoyable because of the sweet taste of the cheese. What I liked the most about this pizza was the mashed potato balls they put above, it was a good touch! Because the softness of it, feels nice in the mouth.
4. Carbonara Pasta (까르보나라)
The sauce was so creamy, that after eating, I felt like scratching more off the plate.
It does not only look visually appetizing, but it actually is! Because of its tasty sauce and the flavorful combination done by the rest of the ingredients.
