Four dollars for two slices of pizza is a steal of a deal for a lunch or late-night haunt. Kick
back and enjoy a slice of Bulgogi, vegetarian, Hawaiian, pepperoni, cheese or chicken-pine pizza in this little urban dug-out, next to the floor-to-ceiling graffiti that covers the whole wood-paneled space. Slices here remind me of the pizza pops and frozen mini pizza pies from my childhood: Gooey without being sloppy, evenly placed toppings without being fancy, and – most notably – the crust, reminiscent of focaccia. Open until 3 a.m. and serving alcohol until 2 a.m., you can’t go wrong.
A Whyte Avenue staple, especially for the late night crowd, this graffiti-covered spot is known for its eclectic mix of pizza and Korean food. The two cuisines collide in one dish: The Bulgogi Pizza. It’s their most popular pie and, like all the other pizzas, it’s only $3 for two slices. Steel Wheels is a licensed establishment, so you can wash down your pizza with cheap beer. It becomes packed here after last call at the bars, since it’s open till 3 a.m. Monday through Sunday.
At Steel Wheels, you have the interesting choice between very reasonably priced pizza (I have friends who swear by it!) or some rather nice bulgogi. I tend to go with the latter. There is also the option for a bulgogi pizza, but I haven’t tried it. This is a place that completely lacks pretension. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall joint, adorned with graffiti — I’m sure I must have a written my name on the walls there at some point in the past.
