The crunch of the base, the aroma of the tomato and herbs, the soft, bubbling mozzarella – there's a lot to love about pizza. If you are looking for some of Abu Dhabi's finest examples, look no further – we've rounded up some of the best pizza places in the city.
1. Pizzaro
You're guaranteed to find all your favourites here. Whether you are a fan of the folded calzone, the rich flavours of the meaty Napoletana, or a simple Margherita, you'll find something to love. If you're feeling a bit fancy, they even offer up a special Truffle Pizza. Here you'll find a creamy béchamel sauce, wild mushrooms, and a truffle, oil, pesto, and carpaccio, but their Calabrese offers a safe beef salami choice too.
Where: Pizzaro, Al Khubeirah
2. Jazz@PizzaExpress
These guys at PizzaExpress sure do know how to put together a tempting menu inspired by all things-Italian. No less than 13 pizza varieties tussle for your attention, and not to mention there's also classic pastas, risottos and salads too. And don't forget their famous garlicky dough balls, either. Whether you like your pizza thin or crispy, or prefer a classic base, these guys have got you covered. But it's not going to be an easy decision – though their take on the Hawaiian is a firm favourite.
Where: Jazz@PizzaExpress, Al Danah
3. Itzza Pizza
An inventive fusion of American and Italian inspirations awaits you at Itzza Pizza. They've got all the usual suspects here, from a Margherita and Pepperoni to you classic mushroom-topped delight. But they also push the flavour boat out a bit. We love the Lamb Roast for something really different, where you'll find tomato sauce, mozzarella, roasted lamb, onions cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic, mint and herbs.
Where: Itzza Pizza, Al Musalla
4. 800Pizza
The guys here are flying the flag for all the vegetarians out there, with all sorts of veggie-friendly offerings. We love the Burrata, where you'll get traditional fresh cheese, mozzarella and fresh stracciatella, rocket, cherry tomatoes and served up with a side of rustic bread. But if you're dining with a carnivore don't worry, there's a pizza for every palate here. Just look at the Smoked Provola & Ham, where Italian mozzarella teams up with smoky provola cheese and delicate turkey ham.
Where: 800Pizza, Al Reem Island
5. Pinza
It's all about the base at Pinza. 'Four flours for one perfect Pinza' is their boast, and they top their unique bases with all sorts of goodies. And the good news doesn't stop there – the bases here are actually a lot healthier than your standard crust. Try one of their organic, vegetarian or vegan combinations for that feel good glow, or go for the sweet spot with the Nutella and banana topping.
