Why should you order from here? Pizza Connection has the best pizzas in Dubai. Honestly. If you're into the over-the-top cheese fest that is part and parcel of most fast food delivery pizzas nowadays, then these gourmet beauties are not for you. The staff, including the delivery men, are friendly and the service is efficient and speedy. You can also order online.
What can you buy? Pizza Connection is a small restaurant in Tecom that's run by an Italian chef who actually works in the restaurant, so you can be sure that the food you're getting is the real deal. They serve out-of-the-wood-burning-oven thin crust pizzas delicately topped with fresh ingredients, from artichoke to anchovies and pineapple to avocado. Their pizzas aren't overpowering so you can really experience the flavour of each topping. Their pastas are perfectly al dante and drenched in a variety of scrumptious sauces from an I-wish-I-had-made-this chicken-alfredo to a spicy arrabiata that will have you panting a little.
What do you recommend? The Calzone Alle Verdure (Dh44) with tomato, mozzarella, eggplant, mushrooms and roasted peppers offers the most delicious flavour composition, with the eggplant roasted down to its ideal subtly spicy softness and the slightly sweet roasted peppers perfectly blistered without losing their hue. If you love spice try the Mumbay pizza (Dh34 - Dh45) with tomato, mozzarella, off-the-skewer tandoori chicken, onion slices, chili flakes and jalapeno peppers. My friends and I have tried it several times and we come away feeling very satisfied, albeit a touch sweaty, every time. It's quite hot, so be warned! The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese (Dh44) tastes like home cooking. Rich and flavourful, it's the perfect comfort dish to satisfy your belly after a long hard day. The panna cotta, a sweet and creamy Italian dessert made with cream, milk and sugar, is smothered in slightly sour berry confit that's as beautiful as it is delicious. A rolled wafer biscuit perched gently on the top adds a playful crispness. My pictures really don't do any of the meals justice. (I had to prise the pizza boxes from my friends' floury hands to take pictures...)
Keep in mind... My husband Aman and I ordered a Pizza Blanche (the Quattro Formaggi) a few months ago. It came without a tomato base (as it should) but not knowing any better we called them up to ask them why it had no tomato and the Italian chef was gracious enough to come on the phone to explain that the quattro formaggi pizza blanche is in fact a white pizza and is intentionally left without tomato sauce of any kind so as not to disturb the delicate flavours of the four cheeses. "Had we tasted it?" he asked "No," we cringed. Of course when we did savour that mouthwatering piece of cheesy paradise we called back and apologised profusely. "It was one of the most delicious things we have ever had," we confessed, not lying.
Out of ten? Ten.
