Notes:
In my opinion Gung Ho! Pizza is one of Beijings more endearing food concepts. Not only do the delivery guys tour the city in a pink unicolor outfit on pink scooters with a little pink flag - the concept also features a wide range of inspired pizze, let it be baby squid and lemon aioli, pumpkin and sweet potato or Beijing duck with hoisin sauce. At our last visit B and I decided to share a pizza and a salad. Gung Ho! gives you the possibility to have "half and half" which we decided to go for - this time four cheeses and pesto chicken on a wholewheat crust. Crisp and boasting lots of flavorful blue and goat cheese on a more subtle base of ricotta and mozzarella. The thai beef salad included some very standard beef but also incredibly tasty marinated mushrooms, very crisp salad and a spicy, tangy dressing - generously served. Accompanied by a bottle of Grace Vineyards Chardonnay, this was a perfect meal for a low-key Friday night. Gung Ho!'s prices might be above that of other generic concepts such as Annies but sets itself apart by the use of high quality ingredients. Previously mentioned delivery service is easy even for expats like us to use - so Gung Ho! is highly recommended even if you just feel like enjoying a Beijing duck pizza on your own couch a hangover Sunday. Branches can also be found in Sanlitun and Shuangjing.
