Moon Slice Pizza

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Prior to the opening of this Al Wasl Road pizzeria, finding quality Neapolitan pies in Dubai was a Sisyphean task. Moon Slice has changed the game. This playful pizzeria created serious buzz when it opened in 2021, thanks to chef Reif Othman and restaurateur Mahmood Al Khamis’s knack for generating chatter through innovative flavour combinations and social media-ready interiors. The basics are kept simple – a Naples-style base uses milk and water in the dough, which is fermented for 48 hours before being tossed, topped and thrown into the oven. Toppings, however, are anything but pared back: aside from the margherita and sliced mushrooms with tallegio, devilish combinations include wagyu carpaccio, spicy meatballs and olive aioli, and ultra-luxe fior di latte, truffle foam and fresh truffle shavings. Elsewhere, there’s a short rib pie, complete with BBQ-sauce base, and, for avocado enthusiasts, “the perfectly ripe”, which features the fruit alongside yuzu-infused mayonnaise. Italian-inspired starters and antipasti, plus an impressive non-alcoholic cocktail offering, complete the high-spirited menu, and in summer, sorbets and ice creams join the fun.
