A slice of life
WE’RE GOING PIZZA crazy this week, and so should you be with this selection of pizzerias and what they have on offer around town
Italian lunch
Renowned for recreating the comfort of home-style Italian food, Ricetta at Four Points by Sheraton Bur Dubai is all set to rustle up your lunch plans. Set within an elegant natural wood setting with an authentic brick-oven and bright red gingham linens, this cosy Italian eatery has curated a special treat with its lunch buffet, priced at Dhs53 per person, available daily from 12pm to 3 pm.
Mamma Mia
Casa Mia at Le Meridien Dubai is helmed by Chef Maurizio Lazarin. On Sundays they have ‘Casa Mia Couples’ Night’ where you can share pizzas made to perfection in a special Italian wood-fired oven
Brunch-tastic
If you love pizza (who doesn’t?!) then your dream brunch is on at Via Veneto, The Boulevard, Downtown Dubai every Thursday and Friday between 7pm to 10pm. Enjoy Via Veneto’s relaxed Italian atmosphere, views of the Burj Khalifa and of course, the delicious rustic Italian food from Dhs149.
San Fran sourdough
Pizza Hut has just launched its San Francisco (SFO) sourdough handcrafted pizzas for the first time in the world in the UAE. The artisanal SFO pizza aims to cater to diverse tastes. Each SFO sourdough handcrafted pizza is made to order, using fresh dough that is kneaded each day and is available with three new toppings, including Meaty BBQ, Spicy Chicken Ranch, and Ultimate Cheese.
Vanelli good
There are now four more Vanellis outlets across the UAE. The restaurant chain opened earlier this year at Al Seef, Mega Mall Sharjah and Ajman City Centre, and reopened at Dubai Mall after undergoing an exciting refurbishment. We like its live cooking stations serving freshly cooked pasta, pizzas and much more.
La Famiglia feast
Trattoria Toscana at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is expanding its summer offerings with the ‘La Famiglia’ feast. Dig into an authentic Italian family feast with classical focaccia and gelato dishes to suit all. The large Tutta Focaccias include options for meat lovers, seafood fans and vegetarians. ‘La Famiglia’ is available at Trattoria Toscana until August 30.
