Pizza in Dubai spans everything from a live-music dinner show to a lemon-decorated slice bar in Business Bay. The pizza places on this page have racked up nearly 19,000 Google reviews between them, and every one holds at least 4.7 stars, so the real decision is about atmosphere and occasion, not quality.

Short answer: The top-ranked pizza place in Dubai is PizzaExpress Live, BSQ (4.8 stars across 4,096 reviews), an Italian restaurant known for its live-music dinner nights in Business Bay. Jamie's Italian (4.7, the most-reviewed on this page at 4,786) and Naughty Pizza Dubai (4.8, 3,373 reviews) are close alternatives, the latter for its Amalfi Coast theming and gourmet pizza menu.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Dubai pizza places we found. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of diners counts for more than a 4.8 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does pizza cost in Dubai? (2026)

Pricing at Dubai’s pizza restaurants varies by setting, from casual slice counters to themed dining spots, and by whether you order a la carte or a set menu. Reviewer-cited per-person spend on this page ranged from roughly AED 50 at the lower end for a lunch set menu up to AED 500 or more for a full dinner with drinks, so ask about set-menu options if you’re watching the bill.

Serving all of Dubai

The pizza places above are spread across Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah and Al Wasl, covering most of central Dubai. Searching for pizza near me? Each listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can find the closest option and check current wait times.

What to ask before you book a pizza place

  • Do you take reservations, or is it walk-in only during peak hours?
  • Is there a set-menu or lunch deal that’s better value than ordering a la carte?
  • Do you offer vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free pizza options?
  • Is delivery available if I’d rather eat at home?
  • What is the average wait time on weekend evenings?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pizza places?

We started from pizza restaurants in Dubai with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which pizza place is best for a special occasion?

Naughty Pizza Dubai’s Amalfi Coast theming and Moon Slice’s specialty menu both suit a celebration dinner, while PizzaExpress Live adds live music to the mix.

Do any of these places deliver?

Naughty Pizza Dubai runs a delivery service, and reviewers of PizzaExpress, Jumeirah have also ordered delivery. Confirm coverage for your area when you call or order online.

The bottom line

PizzaExpress Live, BSQ is the safe default for a solid pizza dinner with genuine entertainment value. If you want something more distinctive, Naughty Pizza’s theming or Moon Slice’s specialty pies are worth the trip instead. Either way, book ahead for weekend evenings.
