Review of Pizza Al Taglio – Highlights
- There are currently three Pizza Al Taglio Italian restaurants in the UAE, one in Mirdiff City Center, one in Abu Dhabi and the latest one, which we visited in Deira City Center. It is located inside the Food Central food hall. Food halls in Dubai are currently trending and popping up everywhere from the Point on the Palm to DIFC and Time Out Market (review linked) in Dubai Mall.
- The outlet is designed in a rustic look with a large pizza oven and parmigiana regiana cheese wheels which are used live to mix in the cheese into your pasta dish!
- The concept is fun and great value starting at just 26 aed (approx. 7 usd) where you can build your own pasta dish from pasta such as Tagliatelle, Fussili, and Penne to be mixed with your choice of sauce like Alfredo, Rosa, mammas pomodoro (tomato), basil pesto (image below), or sundries tomato pesto. You can then choose toppings to be mixed into your pasta such as chicken, brisket, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, broccoli, spinach or kale.
- There are not many places in Dubai that you can find pasta mixed in a cheese wheel so this concept is definitely a must try for this experience alone!
Review of Pizza Al Taglio – Things to Note
- The sauce was a little bit salty but this comes down to personal preference, which most likely comes from the parmigiana cheese.
- The seating in the Food Central food hall is communal, so when the area gets busy, it makes sense to secure seating while you are waiting for your dishes to be prepared.
Review of Pizza Al Taglio – Tips
- Download the Majid Al Futtaim Share application called Share Rewards, where you can earn and redeem points against any outlet in the mall such as other retail outlets, restaurants, cinemas or even at the supermarket.
- The restaurant offers a daily combo special for 40 aed (approx 11 usd) which includes a main dish of either pizza slice or pasta, an appetizer such as garlic bread and a soft drink.
- Next to the restaurant there is outdoor seating, which is also designated for smoking, however this has views across the Dubai Creek, Downtown Dubai including the Burj Khalifa.
