L’ANTICA PIZZERIA DA MICHELE – CITY WALK & THE BEACH JBR
On JBR The Beach, The Walk
Straight from Naples, the legendary Da Michele brings over 150 years of pizza-making tradition to Dubai. Known as the “sacred temple of pizza”, it’s where Julia Roberts famously devoured a whole Margherita in Eat Pray Love. And yes, it lives up to the hype. The menu is minimal—just as it should be—with classics like the Margherita and Marinara, made using Caputo flour, San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte and a leopard-spotted crust that’s both airy and chewy. Baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, this is pizza that honours Neapolitan heritage in every bite. A must for purists.
