How to order Address & map

Pizzeria D'Buzza, known in Korean as Buja Pizza (부자피자), is a pizzeria in Hannam-dong, Seoul, near Itaewon. Time Out Seoul's 2015 review says the thick, puffy rims come out toasty and slightly blackened from wood-stove ovens, and the rim in my December 2021 photos is speckled black in just that way. Polle, a Korean review site, lists this address as the first branch (1호점).

The eggplant pizza

The pizza in my photos is topped with slices of eggplant, purple skin still on, over melted white cheese, with basil leaves and red tomato pieces. A salad with an orange slice and walnuts sits beside it. I can't tell from the photo which menu item this is.

The paper mat under the slice carries the shop's name, its first letter cut off by the frame. Time Out says Buzza roughly means wealthy in Korean and nothing in Italian.

A calzone and fried bites

The folded pizza looks like a calzone: glossy tomato sauce on top, one end blackened. Polle's menu lists a Buzza calzone (부자깔조네), and reviewers single it out. One who waited almost three hours calls it the most memorable dish of the day.

Prices and waits

Polle's menu, read on November 14, 2026, lists marinara at ₩12,000, margherita at ₩17,900, Buzza Classica at ₩27,000 and the calzone at ₩28,000. The 10 Magazine directory describes the Classica as topped with cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan and arugula.

Long waits come up in several sources. Time Out's 2015 review advised booking, since waits could stretch to hours, and Polle reviewers from about a year ago describe waiting two to three hours.
