Lee Jaemo Pizza JejuThe Famous Busan Pizza, With the Same Back-to-Basics Cheese Crust

Not just Busan — Jeju too

This is the very same Lee Jaemo Pizza that's famous in Busan. I've been to the Busan shop too, and eating it in Jeju I got the same impression: a classic pizza that sticks to the basics. I rarely get to Busan these days, so when it crosses my mind in Jeju, I stop by.

The cheese comes first

The cheese here is really good. It's full of flavor. The default menu item is the cheese crust pizza.

Large over small

Since the price gap between small and large isn't big, I recommend the large (large 30,000 KRW, small 26,000 KRW as of Oct 2026). I'm someone who can't finish even one pizza, but with so little price difference, I think ordering the large is the better call.

What it looks like

On the black pan, the pizza is topped with pepperoni, ham, green pepper and mushrooms, with the cheese browned in spots. The edge is a thick, puffed cheese crust, and a handled server for lifting slices comes with the pan. Beside it sit a salad plate with fruit, a red iced drink, and a small bowl of cheese sauce topped with crispy fried onion.
