The best pizza I’ve eaten in China was here in town. Many years ago, a Liuzhou native who had lived in S. Korea for many years, retired, sold his pizza shops in Korea and came home to spend his final years. As a hobby, he opened one pizzeria here in town. It was beautiful with an open kitchens where you could see him and his staff making then tossing pizza dough into perfect discs, adding mozzarella they made each morning and adding sensible toppings you would find in Italy. S. Korea knows good pizza.
Sadly few people went and, after struggling for a year, he gave up. The premises are now a baby clothes store.
A month or so later, Pizza Hut opened and people were lining up round the block to eat crap pizzas shipped in from Guangzhou, 500 km (311 miles away) away, and reheated. I wept.
Yesterday, I found this on a delivery listing. Seoul crispy fried chicken pizza! What it has that relates to Korea or Seoul in particular remains a mystery. Obligatory Kewpie squiggles, as usual. Not in Korea.
괜찮아요!!
