Here is a tip from my buddy Lynn. Hey, I like pizza and if she says, it’s good I believe her. Check it out on her blog. And if anyone else has a foodie tip, please e-mail me at seouleats (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hi Daniel,

Definitely the best and most authentic pizza I had in Seoul so far! I think the place is pretty new, it is in a small and hidden side street in Hongdae, so not many of the expat community might know it yet, but I believe it deserves a place under your recommended eats list.
Cheers,
Lynn

If pizza were a food group, my life would be complete. The FDA could use a catchy slogan like: "Pizza: there's a new triangle in town."oh, oh, oh, or like: "Pizza is a zuper zupper."
I have to say, I wasn't overly impressed with the pizza at Le Tre Campane.
I ordered the Diablo pizza which is a cheese, olive, and mild "sausage" pizza. The ingredients were of high quality – tasty non-Korean cheese, nice dough, decent sausage – however the Pizza lacked the traditional crispiness of a wood or stone oven pizza in that it was relatively soggy, more along the lines of a New York style pizza.
I arrived at the place early, so possibly the ovens were not fired up completely which caused this effect.
The atmosphere of the place is nice, being clean and new. The smell is incredible – having a nice woody aroma. The service is typically Korean, pleasant, and very quick without bothering you throughout the meal. The servers were quick with refills.
I did, however, find the place somewhat high priced. The pizza was affordable, so no complaints there. I ordered a soda for 5,000 KRW which coming in the form of a can, was presumably a per drink price – no refills. I noticed that beer was 7,000 although I'm not sure of the type – I assume a Korean lager which is why I steered clear.
A nice place, and a place I would probably visit again, but not before I give some other places a try.
It is, as Lynn mentions, one of the better wood/stone over pizza's in Korea.
