Korean food chain Pizza Maru is launching its highly anticipated autumn menu across Hong Kong on November 16. Under the banner “Autumn Taste, Seoul Heart” (秋嚐，首爾心), the global brand—which operates over 600 outlets worldwide—is translating the rich, coastal harvest of the Korean peninsula into a series of bold, limited-edition dishes. The lineup is headlined by the visually spectacular Double Decker Tower Pizza, a stacked 10-inch creation unlike anything else on the local pizza scene.
Long celebrated for its patented, health-conscious dough, Pizza Maru distinguishes itself from the outset. The base is kneaded fresh daily with a blend of black rice, green tea, and select whole grains, resulting in a crust that is remarkably soft yet structured enough to support hefty toppings. This foundation provides an ideal canvas for the kitchen’s experimental flavours.
New Double Decker Tower Pizza Steals the Show
The undeniable star of the menu is the Double Decker Tower Pizza, which doubles the toppings and the indulgence of a standard pie. Its most talked-about feature is the “double cheese rim”: a creamy mozzarella mousse core encased in a golden, baked Parmesan crust.
Two distinct towers are available for the season:
- Jeju Harvest (Land & Sea Feast): This option layers tender pork belly, baby octopus, and crispy seaweed on top, finished with spicy chicken sauce. The base delivers a contrasting hit of succulent prawns and tangy white kimchi.
- Hanwoo Beef Duo (Extreme Meat Flavour): Designed for dedicated carnivores, this pizza stacks juicy beef short ribs and fried enoki mushrooms over a classic Korean bulgogi base, tied together with a smoky Korean chili mayonnaise.
Seasonal Pasta Highlights Autumn Ingredients
While the Tower Pizza commands attention, the seasonal pasta dishes expertly bridge Korean harvest traditions with Italian comfort food.
The Perilla Ocean Linguine offers a distinct taste of the coast. Plump blue mussels are tossed with linguine in a delicate, aromatic sauce made from cold-pressed perilla oil, egg yolk, and sesame seeds. A dollop of ricotta cheese balances the savoury elements, while crispy fried enoki mushrooms add texture.
For a true taste of autumn, the Autumn Flame Hanwoo Rigatoni is a clear standout. Roasted Japanese kabocha pumpkin, Korean white miso, and silky coconut milk are blended into a velvety, golden sauce that coats the pasta. Generous portions of flavourful Korean roast beef complete this warming seasonal dish.
