[Seoul - Yongsan] Kanival Pizza - Crazy fusion pizza including "CRAZY POTATO" fries on pizza!

Kanival Pizza is a chain of pizza restaurants in Korea. It's usually found near universities and is known for its unique pizza combinations and inexpensive sets.




So, I always thought it was going to be a little more carnival themed, but the only sign of this was the carnival mask, which is where they hide your receipt.
We decided to go with the number 5 P-MC set. This comes with a pizza (half is crazy potato and half is cheese bomb), an order of crazy buffalo wings, and 2 beers (500 mL).

Luckily for me, even though the beer glasses say Hite, it was actually Max beer.

The pizza was super interesting to say the least. It was an interesting fusion, but I wasn't mad at it. I mean, it's kind of genius. The best of two worlds - crispy fries and pizza!

The Crazy Potato pizza has the crispy seasoned fries on top and the pizza itself is a bacon and parmigiano cheese. The Cheese Bomb pizza is topped with mozzarella cheese and meat sauce.

The buffalo wings were not true buffalo wings in the American sense of the word.

The buffalo wings were pretty good, but the flavor was more like a sweet and sour barbecue sauce mixed with a sweet Thai chili sauce.

The chicken was pretty tender inside and lightly fried, so it's more like an American chicken wing than Korean fried chicken. The flavor was good, but not spicy. It was definitely a nice find for me since I kind of like the "Asian Zing" flavor at Buffalo Wild Wings.
