Yeah, we've all had that tasteless sorry-excuse-for-a-pizza with the corn on it, but does anybody know where you can get a decent pizza that you can actually look forward to eating? The best pizza I have come across so far is at Costco's food court. Tastes just like pizza back home. Not the best, but not bad either.

les tres cantinas. hongdae behind sokyo hotel.

great pizzas. if you like them european style thin. great proper ovens too.

not exactly cheap, but good as a treat for sure (and if we are comparing to papa johns and the like it's a bargain)

I don't know about having a pizza delivered, but I'm a fan of Sbarro's in COEX. It's probably a little more than you'd pay back home (between 6000 and 7000 for two slices and a coke), but it's good.

Sbarro, COEX. Mmmmm . . . delicious. And no corn.

This is too relative, as it really depends on where you're from. I have had edible pizza in Seoul, but to say its 'GOOD!' would be a real stretch.

Depends on the style you like. If you like thick crust Papa John's is your best bet. If you like it thin, there are several fancy pizza/Italian restaurants.

And of course Sbarro's is the king of food court pizza.

If you are from New Jersey or New York, there is nothing you would consider a pizza here.

That being said, I have found a place in my heart for some of the eclectic pizza flavors from Papa John's--it's not pizza, but it is something good and satisfies the Western craving that comes fortnightly.

I'm a Chicagoan, and I like my pizza thick and heavy...there are a few Uno joints, one in COEX and one near Yonsei University. They do it up pretty well.

Also, Schlotsky's BBQ chicken pizza is pretty solid...

I would kill to see a CPK in this country...considering all the weird shit K-folks put on their pizza, I think it would do well here.

I ate at "Sorrento's" last weekend in Itaewon (near the Subway sandwich shop, down a flight of stairs on the side of a building, and it was excellent pizza- thin crispy crust, good cheese and sauce, and not expensive either.
My friend had the lasangna there, and he was also very impressed.
