Can anyone recommend some places around Seoul that I can get a good calzone at a reasonable price?

I went to the pizza place in the basement of Times Square- Youngdeungpo and ate a calzone there. It was... okay.

Also check out Pizza Peel in Itaewon. Just about the same, but this time there was less cheese and more tomato flavor.

Both were high-priced. Crying or Very sad

Guess that'll have to do. Thanks for the info. Sad

On a side note, don't want to start a new thread. Where can I find some Pop Tarts? So far I've been getting em shipped from back home but shipping is a killer. Didn't see them at Namdaemun Underground either, only place I can think of is the PX Exchange. No way for me to get on base though Crying or Very sad

You can get Pop Tarts at the Red Door Store or the Foreign Supermarket (both in Itaewon) or at the Happy Store in 경리단.

La Tavola in Itaewon, but you're paying nearly 20,000 won for it.

The Emart near me (Konkuk) has them, although I haven't tried them yet.

There's a decent Italian place in Myeong-dong right at the west entrance near YP Books. It has decent calzones, good pizza, and great pasta.

Do you know what subway exit that is? I've never seen YP books in Myeong-dong, though to be fair, every time I've gone to myeong-dong. I was plastered Cool

Thank you, I'll check these places out. Do you remember how much it was for a box? And how many were in the box?

As with any foreign item in Korea, not cheap. Last time they had both Pop Tarts and Tostems. The Tostems are much cheaper. I think a box with 4 packs of Pop Tarts (2 Pop Tarts in each pack) was 8,000 won, and a box with 6 packs of Tostems (again, 2 Tostems in each pack) was also 8,000 won. I bought the Tostems to give them a try and honestly couldn't a huge difference. The Pop Tarts are a bit better, but not enough to justify the extra cost.

The closest station is Euljiro-1ga. It's across from the Lotte Dept Store, kind of "between" Myeong-dong and Euljiro-1ga stations. YP Books is in the basement of the CGV building. The entrance is on the west side of the building and the Italian place is right there.
