Mad Dogs
매드독스 광안리점 Maedeudokseu Gwangalli-jeom Mad Dogs is simply the English name, kept as is; a bulldog mascot appears on the posters and free stickers.
Compiled from 20 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Chicago deep-dish pizza house on the second floor of the Olive Young building at the centre of Gwangalli Beach (Gwangan-haebyeon-ro 235). Whole pies run from 29,000 won (original) to 33,000 won (shrimp); a half-and-half pie is 32,000 won. Posts describe the pizza arriving on a wooden stand warmed by candles, and dipping the crust in strawberry jam from the self-service bar. Pasta, salads, draft beer and highballs are also served. We read 30 posts from April 2025 to October 2026, set aside 6 that were about other places (mostly the Haeundae branch), and 20 describe actual visits. Seven posts in the same format appeared between 2 and 6 October 2026.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Thirteen posts helped themselves to nachos at the self-service bar (two mention shrimp crackers instead). Pickles, olives, jalapeños, pineapple, garlic dip, hot sauce, parmesan and the strawberry jam for the crust sit alongside; one writer refilled the nachos three times before the pizza came. There is no table setting of side dishes beyond this bar.
- Eleven posts sat by the windows facing Gwangan Bridge. Window seats cannot be reserved: one post says so outright, another found them all taken, a third found windows and terrace full before 6 p.m. Two writers moved over when a window table freed up. Five posts mention the seaside terrace.
- Pizzas are baked to order and take a while. Three posts call it slow; the waits recorded are 15, 20, 30 and 30 minutes, and one writer said the 30 minutes felt like three hours. Several suggest ordering pasta or fries to eat first.
- Eight posts found the portions large: one half-and-half set is enough for two, and one pizza-plus-pasta order would have fed three. Two posts took leftovers home. One notes the pie is smaller across than a regular pizza but filling because of its depth.
3 more
- Opinions on price split: two posts call it expensive, three call it reasonable. One couple paid 71,000 won for a half-and-half set and two drinks. Four posts received chilli fries or a cola for leaving a receipt review.
- Four posts went with a partner or spouse, three with friends. Three are repeat visits: a ten-year regular, someone returning after 2019, and a couple who say they always got a window seat. One brought their dog in a closed carrier.
- Only one post records a queue: arriving at lunchtime in July 2026, the writer faced a two-hour wait and gave up. Others only say the room was busy, not that they queued.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.

| Lift to the floor | 2 of 20 posts |
| Step-free access | 1 of 20 posts |
| Toilet inside | 2 of 20 posts |
The restaurant is upstairs. Six posts describe climbing the graffiti-covered stairwell. Two mention a lift, and one says it opens directly into the dining room so wheelchairs and pushchairs can come up easily.
No one wrote about a step at the entrance. Two posts say the toilet is inside the restaurant; separate men's and women's toilets appear only in copied listings, which means nobody checked, not that they are absent.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 24 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- All opening hours are copied and they disagree. Four posts from Oct-Dec 2025 give Mon-Thu 12:00-23:00 and Fri-Sun 11:30-24:00; several from May to 5 October 2026 give weekdays 12:00-23:00, weekends 11:30-23:00, last order 22:00; three posts on 6 October 2026 say 11:30 to midnight, two of them until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. We cannot tell whether the hours changed or were miscopied.
- Two phone numbers appear six times each: 0507-1467-3601 and 051-753-3600. Apart from one copied line saying reservations are possible, no post describes booking.
- Seven posts from 2-6 October 2026 share the same layout of check-in card, info block and hashtags. Two carry word-for-word identical notes on toilets, high chairs, pets and takeaway discounts, which we treated as text supplied by the restaurant and did not count. One still contains an unedited writing prompt. None disclose sponsorship.
