Best Pizza in Dubai!! ..excellent ingredients, perfect dough, fresh basil... arrived in time. don't look further !!!
I was invited to try an Italian pizza 🍕 and since I've tried their pizza and can honestly say that is one of the best Italian pizza in Dubai. I'm not joking. The price is good for the quality of the ingredients you get on your pizza. As far as I am aware, the majority of the ingredients are sourced from Italy. They are fresh and has a good flavour. It's a small family business with respect to culture and gastronomy and that's why I am recommending it.
One of the best italian restaurants in UAE, very cosy and very very tasty food. Felt like I am in Italy. Owners very kind and hospitable and welcoming guests with warm heart.
Will definitely return here again💃🏻🙏🏻

Rating. Gold medal 🥇
Overall very happy with quality of food and pizza crust and sauce, but there was a real issue with the toppings. Consodering we are paying 69 aed for a pizza that advertises more than 6 toppings, all pieces were not created equal. Some slices had all the toping and some had none, i counted 2 peices of artichokes what appears to be a sliced mushroom and a hald and 3 slices of turkey, this is not acceptable as you shld have an equal amount of toppings on all slices , otherwise some of has Margherita pizza, even the basil was none existent in both pizza and the other one was a Napolitano. Plz make sure all who idulges in one of your slices have exactly what they ordered, ppl shouldn't be fighting over the 2 slices that represent the pizza they actually ordered.
I am Italian and this is 100% an authentic Italian restaurant. Everything I've tried is delicious and the service is great. Very glad they have chinotto drink as well. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to try real Italian food
This place is amazing we love these pizza. Being vegetarian they have some variety. Would recommend this place 100% if you are into authentic italian pizza.
The best authentic napolitanian pizza in town.
One of the best Italian spots to dine in or take away. Simple, non expensive Italian food. Very good place to eat daily/weekly as the selection is great and the homemade touch is excellent :)
Finally a good pizzeria nearby!
We eat here very regularly! The food is authentic and the restaurant is run by the nicest people. The pizzas are made in a stone bake oven which makes it taste amazing!
Best Pizza in town folks! Real Neapolitan Pizza, I’m a frequent goer and quality of food and service is excellent!

Italian restaurants are not exactly abundant in Dubai so anytime I come across one, I need to give it a try. Pulcinella is nested deep in Dubai Sports City and is operated by an Italian owner who loves his restaurant and represents his country’s cuisine extremely well. The Italian flavours were appearant in all of his dishes and at times I was wondering if I was actually in Italy. The quality is up there with some of the best Italian dishes I’ve tasted and definitely miles apart from some of the worst that I’ve ever had.
Good service and even better food serving authentic food from Napoli. Pizzas are amazing with many options and the seafood is surprisingly good. Visit as often as I can
You have surely tasted Pizza before and then there is Pulcinella Restaurant. Easy to describe their food in few words...100% Authentic and super yummy(let's say addictive as well).
Being part of an extended Italian family from the Amalfi region, I would urge everyone to try the real slice of goodness they create here. Enough said🙏👍🏼
Best best best pizzeria slightly outside town
Reminds me of a narrow lane in Napoli
Loved the courtesy of Roberto he is very hospitable and that made our meal even more better thank you
We really like this place. Have been here a few times and the food was always super delicious and authentic. My personal favourites are the pizza diavolo and pasta bolognese. However I'm sure whatever you pick you can not go really wrong.
I tried there Italian pizza... It was soo yummy 😋😋😋😋tasty And mother watering... One of the best place for pizza lover and highly recommended place...
Was recommended this place by an Italian for a simple non fancy 'authentic Italian' experience. Casual dinner on a weeknight.
Had the Diavola and Primavera pizza's. Really enjoyed the Diavola.
Ample free parking available.
Outdoor seating as well.
Good ServiceZomato gold can be used for main course
Calzone is really great here 😋
Sea food is delicious and I totally loved it.
It's hygienic and ambience is good
Customer service is pretty nice
Not only the food , but the place is worth the cost!!
Had heard their Italian Friday breakfast buffet was excellent. Went there today but they were closed. Too bad, hopefully not permanently closed. That would be a real loss to the canal walk in Sports City.
What a gem! The most authentic pizza I've tried in Dubai and seriously addictive tiramisu. I also highly recommend their Friday buffet with tasty sweet and savoury pastries, and it's a bargain. The waiters are very warm and the place is homely and unpretentious. I can only wish more restaurants in Dubai were like this.
Wanted to try this place for a while after listen Italians friends. Lovely little place not easy to find for a person not living around the area. Ordered several dishes Within staters,pasta and mains and the top was the bufalina pizza.
The best pizza in Dubai so far. I am Italian and I can really say I've finally found an Italian taste in this city. You can choose between 2 type of pizza: Napoletana (pictures on the right) or Romana (pictures on the left) (the difference is the thickness and the texture). The staff is kind and nice, the service is quite fast and the price is super reasonable, you can even use 1+1 on food if you are a Zomato Gold. The place is very simple and small and it gives the idea of "home" but they have lot of tables outside, and it is a good place for watching football matches too.
Pulcinella is a great local gem. If you want a quiet evening, get there early, because the place gets filled with Italians who are chatting away all evening around a large table. It's a great place for families to go have dinner because it has a kids play area right next to it. Inside the restaurant it's quiet so choose this seating if outside gets too loud. If you're a lover of Italy, definitely go there. You will be transported to the atmosphere in Italy in no time!! Try the home made pesto pasta, it is heaven on a plate. The pizza has us coming back almost every week. I haven't tried the Tiramisu yet, but I can't wait to try it out! Love this place. The staff are great, always helpful.
Loved the food.
Authentic experience, complemented by excellent service.
Their signature pizzas are a must try, especially the Amalfi pizza if you’re a fan of truffle.
Also, do not miss the Farfalle pasta, rich and creamy!
A hidden gem in Dubai Sports City.
This is my favorite place in Dubai. It’s family, and the food is the best. From fried Pizza till Nutella Pizza. If you will try you will love it.
Best pizza really so yummy. Love it and highly recommended. So delicious. And location is great. Fresh, juicy, tender. Service is good too. Keep it up.
Every time I’ve had pesto in Dubai it’s always too intense, or too bland. This is the best one I’ve had & I’m sooo picky about my pasta. Give it a shot! Their best selling pizza is also amazing.
very tasty food.. never had such good mashes potatoes in Dubai
Food was great, tastes as expected, 4 stars due to the order came without the Coke!
We just love this place. Starting with the location in sport city where you can find peace being far from the traffic noise of the city.
The owners always talk with the guests and this sets a good environment amongst the clients.
Food wise, they have very good Italian dishes, starting from the more simple pumpkin soup to the very well done and fragrant pizzas!
They also have few days dedicated to gluten free pizzas which are a must try because the dough is very tasty!
beat restaurant Ever!!!!!I mean that
The best Italian restaurant to go to when you’re in the mood for something authentic and home-style. I have been visiting Pulcinella for about two years now and am always delighted to try the new dishes. If you are not sure what to order, the owner Dominic should be around and you can ask him for recommendations. If like me you’re a big fan of tomato sauce, theirs is so good and fresh - I recommend trying the meat balls with mashed potatoes or any of the pizzas. Coming here on a weekend afternoon with a friend or two even if it is only for coffee (must try their cappuccino) is always delightful as the atmosphere of the restaurant gives you a warm, homely feeling. They have recently updated their menu, and also added a little service bell! Do give Pulcinella a try, you will find it very hard to be disappointed.
Amazing Penne pasta with cesar salad. couldn't be happier with my choice. definitely ordering from here again
Amazing food! And a fast delivery! All the best about this place! 😊😊😊
Authentic Italian pizza! A must try. :)
Ver good experience very friendly staff, enjoyed our meal so much.
Pizza was very nice but it was without tomato sauce.
Salmon very well cooked.
Everything went well.
Also they accept Apple Pay.
Wonderful authentic Italian food, friendly staff and environment
Tried their pizzas you can taste the quality of materials chosen
One of dubai’s finest
Recommended ❤️🇮🇹
Located in motor city, whether you like the canal view, the friendly atmosphere or the home made food, you can sit outside or order if you are nearby.. excellent quality.
but more than 1 hour to deliver
the pizzas and canzone are absolutely delicious!!! minus 1 star as the delivery took 20 min longer than it was supposed to

Simple family run traditional authentic Italian restaurant. Fresh pizzas and delicious burrata. Royal Pizza is definitely recommended, the Italian dessert-canolli is not to be missed. This hidden gem gives you great value for money and you’ll be left satisfied 🙌🏼
We have been yesterday to Pulcinella for casual lunch/dinner. Pizza was tasty and chicken bit to much of oil. But in general nice place worth to try it ;)
I love Pulcinella! Tried it first in Al Barsha branch,(it’s closed now though, which is disappointing) and ordered their Bufalina pizza, and that is just the most amazing pizza I ever had. I can’t comment with their other dishes but they do pizza really good! My second favorite is the Royal pizza! Taste still great even when delivered! I thought it will taste different if it’s serve fresh from the oven, but still love it! Keep it up guys!
order was on time. food is great.
A really good pizza! We had a bufalina and a royal (bresaola and burrata) and both were well cooked crunchy but soft and tasty. Service is good too.
This place became one of my italian food favorite’s! Delicious royal pizza with burrata, fried calamari and mixed appetizers platter is our favorite.
Love it. If you are fond of true italian flavours then this place is for you. Its authentic italian taste makes it stand out. We love coming here and they have the best sicilian pasta.
Just amazing! We ordered Royal Pizza, Salmon and Grilled fish main dishes. But please let me tell you that I had like 5 slices of the Pizza....it was so damn good! So fresh, and full of taste. the kind that melts in your mouth. Totally recommend it! I will definitely come back again!
The food is really good...brought back memories of our visit to Italy, the taste was very good...just that they forgot to send something in our order which we realized after the meal...it was a bit disappointing...otherwise it is very good food.
If you’ve been to Naples, you know how serious they are with pizza! This is a must- try pizza place in town! Ordered calzone and it’s so good and tasty!
Came across this place when we were exploring the sports city area and boy does this place remind us of Italy!!
From the cosy little indoor seating and the beautiful outdoor seating with an outdoor oven; to the clean and simple white table clothes and the beautiful italian conversations between the staff. Everything about this place says Italy.
The pizza is more of a mediocre pizzeria in Italy but a very good clean pizza in Dubai! Ingredients look and taste beautifully fresh.
We tried the margarita, el tunno ( a definite must try), pepperoni and quatro formaggi ( cheese). All were good.
We are definitely coming back for more!! Next time maybe try their pastas as well.
Absolutely delicious gnocchi and grilled squid!!!!
Tried pepperoni pizza the other day and it turns out to be must try must eat experience 👍... only downside was a bit excessive use of salt in the dough and in the pepperonis.
One advice: visit the place in person if you want to get the hype about this place. The quality of the pizza is very different when ordered in house. The pasta dishes are more fogiving

I have been a pizza lover since my childhood. When I first visited this spot I wasn't expecting that it's going to be my regular hub for having pizzas. Love the pizzas you guys bake be it Margherita or bufalina .... Colourful and you simply can't resist.... Friendly staff adds more to the rich dining experience.
This is the real meaning of Italian food, I use to eat there all the time either in the restaurant or delivery .. amazing pizza And pasta .. for ppl live in sports city you can enjoy outdoor sitting area specially that the good weather started :)
Great pizzas and Anti pasti varieties are also good, hood staff great ambience though the serving time can be improved. Sitting palace is little congested inside but still the quality is worth it.
Amazing pizza, best pizza in Dubai, proper italian restaurant and hospitality... Italian pizza maker and home made sweet!!! I am an italian demanding guest... bravo!!
This is a cozy little neopolitan pizza place in sports city. By far the best pizza around this area. For me the taste and flavor of the crust shows the love and care in prep , as premium toppings are not a difficult thing to get in Dubai, it's the crust that differentiates and these guys nailed it.
The 2 reasons I did not give a 5.0 is that 1 the welcome bread needs to be warm and have some herb butter or pesto.
Plus the gnocchi we ordered was not aldente rather over cooked. It hardly kept it's shape, plus it was over salted maybe the water it was boiled in added to the sauce made it too much. We we're starving so we went through with the meal.
I'll surely revisit for the pizza though.
Those richly stuffed pizzas heavily loaded with mozzarella, meat & veggies are no doubt a great treat, I am personally a pizza fan, but unlike these rich pizzas, the authentic pizzas from their original land of Italy are worth trying. I recently experienced Neapolitan cuisine at Pizzeria Pulcinella at their Sports City outlet in Dubai.
Ordered lentil soup and four cheese pizza, soup was nice but pizza a little too fat for my taste. Overall not bad and delivery timing was excellent
