If you are hungry and want your own pizza, then give the personal cheese pizza (7,000 won, 1,000 more with meat) a try.

The pizza was house made and handmade by the chef himself. The pizza was rolled extremely thin but wide enough to be topped off with delicious red sauce, meat, and cheese. It may not be the thickest pizza I have ever had but it was large for a personal pizza.

You can taste the quality of the pizza, the sauce, and the toppings since they were handmade from scratch. The thin but crispy crust is perfect for those who want to leave some room for a few brews. Brew 3.14π makes a great pizza in a city where good pizza is hard to find.

If you are with a group or need a larger pie, then you might want to consider ordering the pizza supreme (15,000 won) with cheese, meat, and veggies.
