1. Ijaemo Pizza: A Jeju Island Hotspot

Ijaemo Pizza (이재모피자), a beloved restaurant near Jeju Airport (제주 공항), started as a famous pizza spot in Busan (부산) and has now become a popular hotspot on Jeju Island (제주도), cherished by both locals and travelers.

Our family also loves coming here because the wait time is relatively shorter compared to the main branch, so many families on Jeju family trips visit as well.

Founded under the name of CEO Kim Ik-tae's mother in Gwangbok-dong (광복동), Jung-gu (중구), Busan, this historic pizza specialty restaurant has been loved for nearly 30 years. In April 2024, it opened a new branch in Ara (아라), quickly becoming a Jeju hotspot.

It was originally famous for pizzas and spaghetti made only with Imshil cheese (임실치즈), but since April of this year, they've introduced their own exclusive, self-developed cheese. They say it's for quality improvement rather than cost reduction, and I was certainly curious about the change in taste.

Also, the 'Premium Kimchi Fried Rice' (명품 김치볶음밥) menu, which was only available at the Busan main branch and a few other locations but became famous by word of mouth, has recently been launched at the Jeju branch. Visitors on a Jeju family trip will likely be even happier to stop by.

We arrived right at opening on a weekday and were able to walk right in without any waiting.

I'll share all the details about Ijaemo Pizza's location, menu, and flavors, where you can experience a unique culinary journey on your Jeju Island trip.

2. Location and Menu

It's about a 20-minute drive from the airport, making it a perfect restaurant near Jeju Airport for a family meal at the start or end of your Jeju family trip.

6 Ganwoldong-ro (간월동로), Jeju-si (제주시)

Operating Hours

10:00 - 21:00

Regular Day Off

Every Sunday

Within a 10-minute drive, you'll find Samseonghyeol (삼성혈) and Sinsang Park (신상공원), and a 15-minute drive will take you to Halla Arboretum (한라수목원). All are great tourist attractions for a Jeju family trip, making them worthwhile places to visit together as part of your itinerary.

Although it's a standalone building with a spacious parking lot, it's such a popular Jeju hotspot that it can get fully packed during meal times, leading to long queues.

Many people also place takeout orders via the on-site kiosk or by phone.

And many use Baemin (배민) for delivery or pickup.

According to the store's information, takeout orders take about 15-20 minutes on weekdays, and 30-40 minutes on weekends or holidays.

Also, for takeout, L-sized pizzas get a 10% discount.

I live in Seogwipo (서귀포), so even though I'm a local, it's a place I make a special trip to visit once in a while.

A friend of mine lives nearby and often gets hot, fresh pizza delivered right to their home, which honestly makes me a bit envious!

The menu items we usually order are:

Ricotta Cheese Salad (₩11,000 (~$8))

Oven Cheese Spaghetti (₩9,000 (~$7))

Ijaemo (이재모) Cheese Crust Pizza

(L ₩30,000 (~$22) / S ₩26,000 (~$19))

.

For the pizza, the cheese crust is more famous than the ham crust, and it also tastes better to my personal liking, so please keep that in mind. The extra cost for the crust is ₩5,000 (~$4).

This time, I was curious about the Signature Kimchi Fried Rice (₩11,000 (~$8)) so we ordered it together.

Besides that, there was a wide variety of pizzas like Arugula Fig,

King Prawn, Rich Sweet Potato, Potato Pizza,

King Bulgogi Rib, Balsamic Garlic Bulgogi, Pepperoni,

Hawaiian, Combination, and Vegetable. Even after trying various options, for our taste,

the Ijaemo Crust Pizza with extra cheese was just perfect.

Spaghetti options also came in various flavors: Oven Cheese, Oven Bulgogi,

Oven Pepperoni, and Bacon Cream. We particularly love the Oven Cheese Spaghetti.

Although the Oven Cheese is famous and we've often ordered it,

this time we focused on the fried rice and didn't order it.

If you order a soft drink (₩2,000 (~$1)), you get a large 700ml cup, and you can fill it yourself from the self-serve bar according to your preference.

Unfortunately, refills are not available.

However, one cup was enough for two of us.

3. Excellent Taste, Just as Expected

Even though it's a place with many takeout and delivery orders,

I still find dining in a comfortable setting with ample space between tables to be the most enjoyable.

The Ijaemo Cheese Crust Pizza we ordered was rumored to have switched from Imsil Cheese (임실치즈) to their own developed cheese, so I was a little worried about the taste of the cheese when ordering, but my concerns were unfounded.

The rich and chewy flavor of the generously topped cheese was still a masterpiece,

and its harmony with the light, handmade dough was fantastic.

I believe you can experience the charm of the main branch even when traveling to Jeju Island (제주도).

Especially the cheese that filled the crust all the way to the edge was a special treat because it didn't harden quickly even when it cooled.

It's no exaggeration to say that people come to Ijaemo Pizza, a hot spot in Jeju Island, 'to eat cheese,'

so I was relieved that the taste was still consistent.

The Signature Kimchi Fried Rice wasn't a uniquely different taste, as other reviews suggested.

It uses Jongga Kimchi (종가 김치) made with domestic cabbage, so it's a fried rice that's faithful to the basics, which I actually liked even more.

The kimchi fried rice perfectly cut through the rich and slightly greasy taste of the cheese pizza.

However, it's spicier than I expected, so if you're traveling to Jeju with children, please keep that in mind.

A carb-on-carb combination that tastes this good?

Our family is definitely Korean!

The pickles were also famous for being handmade,

but now, as the chain expands and its scale grows,

they are supplied through collaboration with a specialized manufacturing company.

Nevertheless, they don't taste like commercially mass-produced pickles;

they're still refreshing and crisp with a homemade style that isn't overly sweet, which is quite appealing.

It's great that you can get extra pickles as much as you want from the self-serve bar.

You can self-pack any leftover food,

and I found that the pizza is still delicious even when cold.

4. Concluding Our Visit to Jeju Island's Hotspot Pizzeria

Lee Jae Mo Pizza Jeju Branch (이재모피자 제주점), a popular restaurant near Jeju Airport (제주 공항) known for its queues, is located a short distance from the airport, making it perfect to visit as the first or last stop of your Jeju Island (제주도) trip!

I worried the taste might have changed with their own specially developed cheese, but that worry melted away with the deep, savory taste of the cheese. And the combination with the newly added spicy kimchi fried rice perfectly hit the spot for Korean palates.

The comfortable store atmosphere and friendly service are still there,

and with quick robot serving, I think it's a worthwhile hotspot in Jeju. You can also store your luggage and enjoy a solo meal here.

Even for a family trip to Jeju Island, at Lee Jae Mo Pizza, where the wait is shorter than in Busan (부산), I hope you'll create satisfying and happy gourmet travel memories.
