Mr. Pizza: Korea meets LA

I never actually tried Mr. Pizza during my previous visits to Korea, but was invited to celebrate a friend's birthday here in LA not too long ago.  I was very curious to see what this Korean Pizza Hut-like restaurant was all about!  I have actually tried both of their branches in LA: in Koreatown and Little Tokyo.  All the servers were male, about 180cm, exceptionally fashion conscious, and seemingly charming. There were pretty good deals being offered for dinner which definitely served at least twice the amount of people which  I went with each time.

                                        

The menu had quite extensive options for a restaurant called Mr. Pizza, with a selection of appetizers, salads, pastas, and of course, pizzas, which were categorized into classic and specialty types.  The most intriguing options were those in the specialty pizza section, which listed pizzas with potato wedges, corn, crab, shrimp, and seafood combo options among others.

One of the appetizers we ordered were golden bread sticks, which were basically bread sticks stuffed with sweet potato and covered in cheese.  These were quite delicious.

We ordered the most popular specialty pizza which had potato, corn, bacon, tortilla chips, onions, and mayonnaise as toppings.  The crust was a surprise too, which was filled with sweet potato and had a very nice crunchy texture.  Yes, the pizza itself was very heavy, making the entire medium pizza enough to feed 3-4 people.

The meal ended up being a great deal, since we ordered a dinner combo that had a free appetizer and drinks.

The takeaway from my visits is that if you are looking for some hearty pizzas with unique toppings in a cute cafe-like setting, then pay Mr. Pizza a visit.

Thank you, LA.
