Pizaok in Hwangridan-gil: Pizza and Pasta in a Hanok Setting

If you want pizza in Hwangridan-gil but still want a distinctly Gyeongju atmosphere, Pizaok is an easy place to understand. The restaurant sits in a hanok-style building near the main sightseeing route, while the menu focuses on pizza, pasta, steak, and other Western dishes.

The Korean name is 피자옥, which you can say roughly as “pee-jah-ok.” The menu includes familiar pizza styles such as pepperoni and margherita, plus richer combinations with truffle. It works well for two or three travelers who want to share one pizza and add pasta or another dish.

Pizaok is useful when your group wants a break from Korean food without leaving the Hwangridan-gil area. The contrast between the hanok exterior and Italian-style food also makes the stop feel connected to the neighborhood rather than like a generic pizza restaurant.

The restaurant is within walking distance of the Daereungwon and Cheomseongdae sightseeing area. Parking can be difficult around Hwangridan-gil, so public parking plus a short walk is usually more practical than driving directly to the door.

For ordering, start with one pizza, then add pasta or a side if your group is still hungry. Menu items, prices, and waiting times can change, especially on busy weekends, so check the latest opening hours before visiting.

Korean mini-challenge: show the name “피자옥” on your phone and ask “피자옥 어디예요?” (pee-jah-ok eo-di-ye-yo?) — “Where is Pizaok?”
