The homegrown concept is coming to the capital this winter.
Not quite Neapolitan, not quite New York-style, perfect every time — that is Pitfire Pizza in a nutshell. The homegrown pizza joint, which has drawn countless pizza lovers to Cluster D of JLT, continues to expand, bringing its artisanal sourdough pizzas to Waterfront Tower in Abu Dhabi. Known for its 72-hour dough-making process, Pitfire Pizza’s unique slow-rise fermentation technique produces wonderful aroma, texture and mouthfeel, making every pizza on the menu highly digestible.
The new Pitfire Pizza Abu Dhabi branch promises an inviting ambience, providing an ideal space for family outings as well as intimate date nights. With seating for 25 indoors and 30 outdoors, diners can sit back in the restaurant’s casual surroundings to indulge in their favourite sourdough masterpieces. Each crafted with locally sourced produce and handcrafted ingredients, the pizzas are guaranteed to inspire the same values of freshness and craftsmanship that define the quintessential Pitfire experience.
Pitfire Pizza’s menu spans starters, salads, sides, pastas, pizzas and desserts. No visit to the restaurant is complete without trying the Garlic Knots. If you love eating your crusts, then this warm wonder is for you. Freshly baked from the oven, it is tied, brushed with herbs, garlic butter, and parmesan cheese.
The signature pizzas come in 10 and 15 inches and can be created as a half and half. The pizzas include Bresaola and Rocket, Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Veggie Primo. And, if you’re still debating about whether to have pineapple on pizza, there is no judgment here, thanks to the Royal Hawaiian.
The desserts hit the classic comfort food spot. The Blonde Bombshell is a tasty triumph with chocolate chunks, pretzels and salted caramel, while Michele’s Apple Pie tastes like Christmas and mixes apples, cinnamon and nutmeg into a crumbly concoction.
Oh, and in case you missed it, Pitfire Pizza is no stranger to acclaim, having scooped multiple FACT Dining Awards, including Best Casual Dining Restaurant in Dubai in both 2023 and 2024. So, whether you consider yourself a seasoned pizza aficionado or simply someone who appreciates a perfectly crafted slice, the arrival of Pitfire Pizza Abu Dhabi this November promises to be a milestone worth savouring.
