One slice of slow-cooked chili, another of creamy mushrooms, a classic pepperoni for the walk back to the beach: Gaga's Pizza makes it easy to follow your appetite without committing to a whole pie. A short walk from Sokcho Beach, this 18-inch New York-style slice shop builds its pizzas from house-made sauces and freshly grated mozzarella, then finishes each order in an electric deck oven for a crisp base. The owner brings an Italian-American New York sensibility to the coast, with recipes gently adapted to local tastes. Choose a slice from the display, mix flavors with friends, and settle in with a draft beer.

Pro tip: Look at the pizza display and order directly with the staff; they can explain toppings and the wait for your choice. Start with the owner's American Chili or White Mushroom, then add a contrasting slice to share. A whole pie is 18 inches (about 46 cm), so check the size before ordering one per person. Slice choices depend on what's ready; ask about current availability.

## Story

### How it started
Before pizza, the owner ran craft-beer pubs, then built experience across three shops in the Seoul metropolitan area, including about four years at Siheung's Wave Park surf venue. Sokcho had already been a familiar place for nearly 40 years. An extended stay while a beloved dog received hospital care led to an unexpected shop vacancy; a month and a half later, the move from Seoul was complete. Surfing friends around Sokcho and Yangyang helped the new home feel familiar.

### Philosophy
The owner aims for the Italian-American pizza tradition of New York while adjusting recipes to Korean tastes. Sauces are made in-house, mozzarella is grated from blocks, and Italian cheeses such as pecorino, Parmigiano, and Grana Padano add flavor. California-grown San Marzano-variety tomatoes are crushed and rested cold for two to three days. A blend of American, Italian, and Canadian flours is adjusted for the texture the owner wants and for seasonal humidity. The electric deck oven gives the base a crisp finish while the topping holds together.

### Signature
The American Chili and White Mushroom grew out of the owner's craft-beer-pub years. The chili brings long-cooked beef and pork with a special spice blend; the mushroom pizza turns to a rich house cream sauce and plenty of mushrooms. Selling by the slice lets you try both, or let everyone at the table choose a different flavor.

### Finding the place
Naver's owner listing places the shop about a three-minute walk from Sokcho Beach, on Saemaeul's green-paved lane. Look for the large PIZZA sign.

### For international visitors
According to the owner, international faculty, students, and staff from the Sokcho and Goseong area have become regulars, often looking for a familiar New York-style slice. Ordering happens face to face rather than at a kiosk: point to the pizza display or show the Korean menu name, and let staff explain ingredients and timing. Pizzas are partly baked ahead, then finished when ordered. The official online menu has English item names alongside Korean descriptions.
