    50 people recommend, 6 warn against it

    Many people recommend Pitfire Pizza, and a few say it is the best pizza they have had locally. A couple single out its truffle pizza, and one says it satisfies them for gourmet-style pizza. Most commenters do not say which Pitfire outlet they mean; the outlet shown here is the Jumeirah Lakes Towers location, which a couple of commenters name.

A few diners are less impressed: one calls it average, another dismisses it outright, and a third says the pizza lacks structure. One more says the pizza is consistently good, and another calls it pricey but suggests trying it.

A few diners say it has improved, and one calls its pan pizza the best they have ever eaten. Others find the crust greasy or doughy, one finds too few toppings despite calling it a fair option, and a couple say the cheese has gone bland. One diner finds it an average international-style pizza rather than an American one.

  4. 4.L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Jbr

    13 people recommend, 4 warn against it

    Many people recommend L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele for Italian-style pizza. The brand has several Dubai outlets; commenters mention JBR, Dubai Hills Mall and City Walk, and the outlet shown here is JBR, which a couple of diners name among their picks. Price is a caveat: many people find it pricey, and one says it is only worth it with a deal. Taste is mixed: one diner found the Dubai Hills Mall branch good but the City Walk branch only average, one finds it good but not quite to their taste, and a couple of people call the food average or weak. One diner asks for it well done because the base is soft for them, and another found the four-cheese pizza poor.
