5 Best Pizza Places in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Antonia is a pizzeria built around a single idea: pizza al taglio, the Roman style of baking rectangular trays and selling by the slice. The dough is fermented for 72 hours using 80% water, Italian flour, and a fifty-year-old sourdough starter, which the kitchen says produces a thick, bubbly, easy-to-digest crust. Beyond the pizza counter, the menu runs to genuine pasta, organic salads, and desserts, all backed by an Italian wine and beer list.

Eataly is the Reem Mall outpost of the Italian food-hall concept founded in 2007, combining a sit-down restaurant with a marketplace selling Italian pasta, olive oils, cheeses, and coffee to take home. Its pizza sits alongside a full Italian menu of pasta, salads, and desserts, and the company also runs cooking classes on a rotating schedule. It is as much a browsing experience as a meal.

Napo Pizzeria is an Al Bateen restaurant serving Italian pasta and pizza in what reviewers describe as a cozy, low-key setting away from the busier waterfront spots. The kitchen bakes pizza to order and the chef reportedly checks in on tables personally, a detail several reviewers mention as making the visit feel more personal than a typical chain pizzeria.

Grazie is a casual Abu Dhabi pizza restaurant that also serves ribs, buffalo wings, and a broader comfort-food menu alongside its pizza, with orders taken through its Instagram page as well as in person. The Margherita and burrata pizzas draw comparisons to Naples-style pies, while other options lean into more international flavours.

PizzaExpress is the UAE branch of the UK pizza chain, serving handcrafted pizza alongside pasta, salads, and its Dough Balls starter across the Emirates, including this Al Reem Island location. The brand runs a loyalty club, set menus, and family-focused promotions like kids-eat-free deals, and it hosts live-music nights at some venues.
