Pull Me Pizzeria — JVC, Meydan, Khawaneej, Za'abeel
If there's one pizza spot that has taken Dubai by storm recently, it's Pull Me Pizzeria. The Reddit thread's OP called it one of the best in the city, and comment after comment backed that up. Serving New York-style slices with a genuine diner aesthetic — checkered floors, booths, bar stools — Pull Me has expanded from its original JVC location to four branches across the city. Note: they are walk-ins only, no delivery (yet).
Signature pies to try: the "Non-Vodka", "Shroomy Truffle", "Rony Queen", and the eponymous "Pull Me". Their 20-inch pies are ideal for groups.
Price range: AED 55–100.
Locations: JVC, Meydan (Nad Al Sheba), Khawaneej, Za'abeel
Naughty Pizza — Jumeirah & Dubai Festival City
Naughty Pizza has gone from cult favourite to consensus best in a short time. It currently ranks #7 out of over 11,000 Dubai restaurants on TripAdvisor, holds a Travellers' Choice 2025 award, and has a 5.0 rating from nearly 1,000 reviews.
The style is contemporary Neapolitan — a family-run operation originally from the UK, now a fixture in Dubai's pizza scene. Reviewers consistently describe it as the closest thing to an authentic Italian pizzeria in the city.
Price range: AED 60–100.
Locations: Jumeirah (Market Island), Dubai Festival City Mall
Pitfire — JLT
Pitfire has been a community favourite for years, and based on the 2026 Reddit discussion, that hasn't changed. Multiple comments rate it among the very best in the city for its carefully crafted dough and quality ingredients. If you visit, don't leave without ordering the garlic knots — widely considered some of the best in Dubai.
Prices: AED 57–84
Location: JLT (Jumeirah Lakes Towers)
Pulcinella — Dubai Sports City
Pulcinella consistently draws strong praise. One user simply wrote "nothing comes close to Pulcinella" — and they weren't alone. The Neapolitan-style pies here are wood-fired and made with imported Italian ingredients, delivering pizza that tastes as it belongs in Naples.
Prices: AED 59–89
Location: Dubai Sports City
Scalini Cucina — Dubai Mall
A newer addition to Dubai's serious pizza conversation, Scalini Cucina at Dubai Mall attracted multiple comments, calling it the closest to the pizza you'd find in Italy.
The restaurant draws on traditional Italian regional recipes, with a focus on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Its location inside the Dubai Mall makes it one of the most accessible spots on this list.
Prices: AED 65–110
Location: Dubai Mall (Ground Floor, near the Waterfall)
Moon Slice — Jumeirah
Moon Slice earned the very first comment on the 2026 Reddit thread, and for good reason. This Jumeirah spot has built a reputation for creative toppings and consistently well-made bases. Prices run higher than most on this list, but the quality justifies it.
Prices: AED 55–145
Location: Jumeirah
Golositalia — JLT
Golositalia is the go-to recommendation for anyone living in the Marina, JLT, Discovery Gardens, or Al Furjan corridor.
The pizzas are authentically Italian and fairly priced, making it a regular spot rather than an occasional treat. A dedicated 2026 Reddit comment singled it out as the best pizza option in that part of the city.
Prices: AED 47–76
Location: JLT (Jumeirah Lakes Towers)
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele — JBR & Dubai Hills Mall
The Dubai outpost of the legendary Naples institution has a few locations in the city, with the JBR branch drawing particular praise for its authentic mozzarella and classic Neapolitan approach. One Reddit commenter in 2026 described the experience simply as "proper." It's a tourist-friendly setting, but the pizza quality is genuine.
Prices: AED 60–115
Locations: JBR (The Walk), Dubai Hills Mall, City Walk
Borbone Pizza — Kite Beach
If you want to try multiple styles without committing to a full pie, Borbone on Kite Beach is the answer. They serve pizza by the slice, so you can sample several varieties in one sitting. It's a casual, beachside setup that works especially well on a good evening in Dubai.
Prices: AED 90–110
Location: Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim
Blu Pizzeria — Umm Suqeim
Blu Pizzeria's short ribs pizza was specifically called out in the 2026 Reddit thread and has become something of a signature- make sure you try it with hot honey. They also do a Musakhan pizza that gives the place a genuinely local character. If you like well-executed, unexpected toppings, Blu is worth the visit.
Prices: AED 60–90
Location: Umm Suqeim
Rossovivo — Business Bay
Rossovivo rounds out the list with its artisan approach and Business Bay address — convenient for those working in or around DIFC and Downtown. The menu sticks to Italian classics, executed with care. It's a reliable neighbourhood spot rather than a destination, but reliability matters.
Prices: AED 45–82
Location: Business Bay (Millennium Tower)
The Verdict
Dubai's pizza scene in 2026 is in strong shape. Pull Me Pizzeria and Naughty Pizza represent the new wave — one bringing genuine New York street-slice energy, the other doubling down on Neapolitan craft. The longstanding favourites — Pitfire, Pulcinella, Moon Slice — continue to earn their spots year after year. Whether you want a quick slice by the beach or a proper sit-down Italian dinner, the options above are all worth your time.
