24 top pizzas in Dubai

Napoletana
Pizza: Napoletana.
Napoletana’s pizzas boast a thin, Italian-style base with a wispy rustic crust. The house dish is based on the classic Italian trio of capers, anchovies and olives, and featured a fair smattering of flavours without being overpowering (a real risk with fishy taste) – although we doubt the capers were fresh. The restaurant prides itself on a wood-baked approach following traditional methods. While there’s a distinct authentic flair that puts this above American-style venues, the restaurant’s claim to offer ‘Italy in your neighbourhood’ may be slightly stone-baked, but for the price and location this is a strong bet.
Best for: Those who want an Italian-style experience without the expense.

I agree with Ruggiero!! There is no better pizza in Dubai thatn Brandi Pizzeria in DUbai Mall. It is THE original pizza from Naples and the simple Margherita is simply to die for...! I love this place 5/5!

Debonairs is definitely the best when it comes to toppings and taste. and I tried their new wheat pizzas, just too good.

Pompeii was the first one on the list! They would probably fit in my list of top 10 worst pizzas

De gustibus...
But as a southern Italian I can tell you that if you want to taste a genuine pizza in Dubai you need to go to Brandi at the Dubai Mall and order a simple Margherita con Bufala.
All the pizza sampled above (with the possible exception of the Caprese of Sicilia) do not meet the standard of what we call "pizza" in Southern Italy (and you can trust us as we invented the dish). -

Marzano is the best, but clearly you don't order the one with courgettes and broccoli like you're trying to assuage some fast food guilt.
You get the buffala with melted cheese.

Who tried the pizzas? How is it possible to rate Rossovivo 4/5 (their pizza is excellent) and Vapiano 5/5 for a pizza with BARBECUE sauce in it?!?

You went to Marzano and asked to have courgette and broccoli on your pizza? Who the hell does that?
