Restaurant Pitfire Pizza Bakers

This city-wide chain has secured its reputation as the go-to neighborhood pizzeria among Dubai's dedicated food lovers. The spot was founded by Michele Johnson—often unofficially crowned the city's pizza queen—and her husband, Bill.

Pitfire's pizza occupies its own category, sitting somewhere between Neapolitan and New York-style, with a signature thin, soft crust that undergoes a 72-hour proof. The toppings highlight a commitment to locality, featuring everything from artisanal burrata to regional dates.
