11. Snail Pizza

Due to the popularity of Korean cosmetics and Korea's urge to well, mix anything and everything on pizza, they created a snail pizza! Bon appetit? I think not as it didn't last or hold over long in Korea. Snails are meant for the face, silly.

10. Bulgogi Wasabi Pizza

The sweet Korean meat paired with the burn of Japanese wasabi on a cheesy American dough! Talk about a melting pot of flavor! The pizza is a unique flavor but probably one of the most normal ones among the many oddly flavored pizzas you can find in Korea.

9. Shrimp and Squid Pizza

Seafood is such a popular dish in Korea so of course it would make its way on top of pizza! A shrimp paste is mixed and added into the dough and squid is then added on top! Talk about a seafood paradise! It is also added with other popular toppings to make it a real 'everything goes' pizza! Don't forget the bonus sweet chili sauce!

8. Bulgogi Kimchi Burger

It is basically what a Big Mac is to McDonalds-- the Bulgogi Kimchi Burger is the little brother of Korean fast food! The fresh pickled spice of kimchi married to the sweet onion filled bulgogi makes it more delicious than any other burger in my opinion.

7. Corn Cheese Pizza

Cheese Corn is another type of Korean dish that many are unfamiliar with here in America. It is basically butter, corn, mayonnaise and cheese fused together and a bonus topping for pizza! This is not a pizza for the lactose intolerant!

6. Star Pizza

A popular series of pizza made in Korea, the pizza is shaped into a small star and comes in an array of flavors but one of its most recognized is their raisin apple cream cheese pizza. However, it is not the best pairing for those with an American taste for pizza. The sweet warm apple cinnamon flavor with cream cheese and raisin filled crust makes for more of a bakery bread than a pizza-- still sounds delicious though!

5. Cookie Crust Pizza

More sweetness has been thrown into the mix! Cookie crust pizza is basically a 'typical' Korean pizza but it is infused with a sweet cookie crust that comes with blueberry dipping sauce. It seems like it would pair better with coffee than on a pizza.

4. Roasted Rice Pizza

Made from nurungji (scorched/fried rice) the pizza dough is lightly made on top of the rice and then cheese and other various toppings are added on top. It is also paired with gochujang (hot pepper paste) and bulgogi to capture that favored Korean taste!

3. Pumpkin Cream Cheese and Sweet Potato Pizza

Another sweetly flavored meal, to some it may be more of a dessert but to Koreans it is a savory dish! The creamy cheese and sweet potato crust makes it the perfect snack in any situation. They also make a sweet potato and pumpkin mousse filling. Maybe you won't feel as guilty eating this pizza?

2. Strawberry Pizza

More like a dessert if anything, this pizza is perfect for any sweet tooth! Coated in sugar, this pizza practically transforms into a pastry with its blueberry and strawberry toppings and powdered sugar sprinkled on top! It also has cookie crusts with raisins to pair along with it. Oddly enough it is also served with pickles.

1. Ice Cream Pizza

It's ice-cream...on pizza....with ketchup?! Okay, probably strawberry syrup, otherwise it'd be a giant contrast! That first bite into the warm cheesy pizza followed by cold milky cream...*shivers* This gif is my reaction to a tee!
