Cheese Crust Pizza

2.5

at home

(from Traders Café – E-Mart Traders)

-Changgok, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-

with the Family

Confirming my first impression that the pizza is actually not that bad (see most recently 15.222 Cheese Crust Pizza), despite its provenance (E-Mart), appearance (black crust), composition (stuffed crust).  One thing that I like is the size of the pie, akin to what would be “large” in America (the only equivalent that I’ve come across in Korea is at Costco), which provides generous slices that can be folded and wolfed down, in contrast to the smaller pies generally available in Korea, where even the so-called “family” size is more like an American “medium” and would seem to demand extending the pinky finger while daintily nibbling each dinky slice.
