Pizza Express in Al Ain Mall is a very pleasant surprise – its location is a very popular shopping mall, and so you might be suspicious of the fast-foodiness cloud; however, the opposite was true, and Pizza Express delivered a very finely developed dining experience!

In a sense, Pizza Express is worth a visit regardless of location – even if it were in the middle of nowhere. But since it is located in a fantastic mall, all the better!

As you’ll feel right away in its delightful approach to interior decor, Pizza Express is more a restaurant than a mall outlet.

And the art of the walls is both intriguing and representing modern Emirati culture.

Privacy booths are welcome,

and if you are a large group, there is a massive seating area just outside.

The choice of seating is quite varied, considering the restaurant size – a very intelligent use of space to cater to different customer needs.

But let’s get to the food!

The pizzas beckon, as they are the restaurant’s namesake – but also an interesting selection of starters attract attention, especially some that are adapted to the UAE’s palate.

Such as halloumi cheese!

and delicious drinks!

Following that delicious introduction, we are ready for the pizzas!

Fresh burrata cheese, in abundance, and a very tasty Mare e Monti, with central rocket salad – both top quality and exceptionally delicious!

Attention to details are evident, and the taste is carefully developed – pizza crust is excellent.

These guys sure know how to present a good pizza!

Overall, the quality of ingredients shines through, but it is the combination of flavors from the toppings and delicious pizza dough that make them a winner.

For dessert, everyone’s favorite chocolate: Nutella!

In summary, Pizza Express is a sure bet for a happy pizza experience – and much more!

The restaurant set-up is very clever, designed with the guests’ comfort in mind – and the menu offers a variety to please everyone: and of course the pizzas are delightful!
