The story
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele has brought its legendary Neapolitan pies to Dubai, earning high praise from food critic Giovanni Fois. He calls the pizza "almost as good as in Naples," highlighting a "great dough" and a "beautiful view of the marina." The branch lives up to its iconic reputation, with the Margherita con Doppia Mozzarella standing out as a must-order.
Yet this authenticity comes at a steep price. Fois notes the pizzeria is "very expensive," a reality of its upscale waterfront setting. For diners willing to pay a premium, the combination of world-class pizza and scenic outdoor seating makes it a noteworthy Dubai destination—just be prepared for the bill.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
At L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, the Margherita con doppia mozzarella earns ecstatic praise for its blistered, chewy crust and decadently rich cheese. The overwhelming vibe is one of pure, unpretentious Neapolitan joy.
“This is a really good Italian pizza. The dough is right, the smell is right, it's a proper cartwheel pizza like in Naples. I give it a solid 9. It's expensive at 35 euros, but it's a hundred times better than any other pizza around here. One thing: they put pecorino on all pizzas here, so ask them to leave it off if you don't want it.”
