Pizza Delivery

After the Asian Dust settled we decided to order some pizza delivery. Yerim came over as promised and after an intense 30 second debate we chose to order two pies knowing that it would be way too much food for the three of us. We wanted to taste some variety and in Korea the pizza is all about the toppings. We chose the bulgogi pizza (bbq beef ) and the shrimp and jalapeno pizza.

20 minutes and $40 (!) later we were ready to eat. My first impressions:
  • The pizza here is smaller than a NY pie and closer to the Chicago style in depth.
  • Tomato sauce is exactly nowhere to be found.
  • Just because you ordered a pizza with Shrimp and Jalapeno toppings doesn't mean you won't also get corn, olives, onions, hot sauce, sweet sauce, some kind of "meat", and a sweet potato crust covered with melted cheese on it too.
  • Pizza always comes with individual packages of pickles on the side.
  • Finally, Mr. Pizza does it for the love of women. Really though, who can blame him?
For my first bite I decide to play it safe. I go for the bulgogi. Pizza it is not. It's more like a not so bad Philly cheese steak and I can live with that.

I'm a bit nervous to try the topping crazy shrimp pizza but it's actually really tasty. Again, most definitely not pizza, but a welcome mixture of crunchy, savoury and tangy. I am pleasantly surprised and it's a good thing because we have lots of left overs. 

Here are a few pizza pics - and I couldn't leave out the cup o'pickles.
