Itaewon & Yongsan-gu
One of the few places in Seoul where you can get a square, deep-dish, Detroit-style slice is aptly-named Motor City. The tomato-sauce base is good enough to lick off your fingers, and the crust manages to be thick but not too heavy.
One pizza for two might seem a bit small, but the bar food and drinks are also excellent, so fill up on some sides as well. Last orders 30 minutes before closing.
