Loving Mr. Pizza is a warning sign.
Korean life January 4th. 2009, 10:00pm
One sign you’ve been Korea too long is noticing how you are willing to eat increasingly strange kinds of pizza. The pizza above contains:
- Golden Sweet Potato baked crust
- Potatoes wedges as a topping
- Bacon and Corn
- Sour Cream
- Herbs and Cheese toppings
- Marinara sauce
- Crushed Nacho Chips topping
It sounds like a pizza made on a dare at a college dorm room right? Would you believe that the only thing about this pizza that I found odd were the crushed nacho chips as a topping. I had never seen that before and wondered if they’d still be crunchy after sitting on an pizza from across town. They added a little to the taste and helped absorb some of the pizza’s oil. Mr. Pizza is “Pizza for Women” after all. We ordered this pizza from Mr. Pizza. Mr. Pizza is hands down better than 95% of other Korean owned franchise pizza places. It’s really the only upscale Korean pizza place making Western style pizza worth eating. The toppings and designer pizzas are extremely bizarre and very Korean, but I haven’t had a bad Mr. Pizza pie yet (I’ve only had it a total of about five times though). All this and the pizza only came with one container of pickles on the side! It’s like they know people don’t eat all of them! I’ve completely left behind the standards of “normal” pizza these days. Bring on the weird stuff!
Well…not all of the weird stuff.

You ought to give Pizza Hand a try if there are any near you. It’s a smaller franchise and both of the ones I’ve been to have been family owned and operated. They make hand tossed pizza, instead of pressing the dough in a machine. I don’t know if it really makes a difference, but there are five pizza restaurants within one block of my apartment, and Pizza Hand is the best of them. Its not New York City pizza, but this far away, what can you do?
On a completely unrelated note, I have some old gaming stuff and some maternity clothes that I’m never going to use again. If you want them, I’ll send them to you. No charge, I’ve just been going through my closets and clearing out as much stuff as I can.
Happy New Year

I’ve never heard of Pizza Hand, but if they have cheap, unusual pizza I might give them a try if I stumble upon them.
Thanks for the generous offer. Let me resolve that with email, not on the blog. I’ll get in touch.
