pizza di rocco

we are regular customers, i'm surprised i haven't left a detailed review! this place is a life saver, it excellent pizza options (which helped be become more adventurous and try different things on the menu, like my new favorite "pizza bresaola") , the pizzaingredientsare clearly fresh and well-prepared.
reliable delivery service, and a lovely set up for dine-in.

this place is truly the home for authentic italian cuisine. recently tried their delicious pizzas and i can’t stop going gaga over it as it is quite light on the stomach and with the generous amount of cheese and freshingredientssprinkled on the pizza, you just can’t get enough of it.

they also have guilt-free healthy salads and vegan-friendly options as well, in fact, you can also choose your own ingredients, so all the fitness freak out there, you have to try their amazing healthy low-calorie pizza!

i ordered for paneer tikka pizza which literally comes with the marinated tikka paneer, bursting with flavors. this one is a must-try for all the veg lovers out there. also, their verdure pizza (another veg option from the list) was another hit on the table.

nutella on pizza might sound crazy to some and heavenly to the rest! to my surprise, this pizza was quite good, it was in fact ordered as a dessert and can be easily found under the dessert section of the menu with the name “lulu pizza”

as a home delivery option is available, this place can easily sort your weekend plans! worth every bite.

one of the best + healthiest pizza in town. we tried different flavours and everything was really good.
one of the must try item from their menu is pasta alfredo. it is the best and yummiest pasta i have ever had - was really finger licking delicious.
one of the main highlight about their pizza is its made with whole wheat flour and white flour and yet taste yumm. i was delighted to know they use organicingredientswhich ultimately makes it a healthy snack rather than a junk food.
for dessert we had pizza lulu - crunchy pizza base topped with chocolate - was really good
it is located in one of the best locations in alain. we really loved the area and ambience

my rating :

food (overall)- 4/5
pasta - 💯 (5/5)
service - (4/5)
ambience - (4.5/5)

the place is located in the square next to hbz football stadium and exactly behind starbucks.
visited this place with 2 of my friends and we were welcomed with a warm and friendly smile smile from their staff. our server for the day was remar who made sure we had a great dining experience. he was very well aware of the dishes in & and out of the menu as there are some which are not yet added in the menu card. though it's a small place but the ambience is nice and relaxing. the service is quick.

we ordered the below dishes:

starters:

home made chicken strips (5/5) - were fried to perfection. crispy and crunchy from the outside and soft and juicy from the inside. deliciously prepared and served. one the best i have had so far.

organic quinoa (4/5) - a well balanced and well prepared dish. theingredientsused are of high quality with abundant pine nuts and quality raisins. i personally liked this one but one of my friends was not too keen as he didn't understand the preparation and taste.

main course:

carnivora pizza (5/5)- still not added to the menu. a meat lovers pizza with 4 types of meat (meat balls, meat strips, minced meat & italian ). we ordered this with whole wheat which went really well. i loved the meat balls on the pizzas with the sauce and the hint of herbs that enhanced the taste to the next level. generously made with all the ingredients.

pollo piccante pizza (4/5) - we ordered this one with the bread. my guests appreciated this one more than me but fact needs to be said. there was no compromise on the ingredients.

penne pasta with chicken & mushroom (3/5)- ordered this with pink sauce. somehow, this didn't impress. though theingredientswere fresh and of good quality but no justice made to them. it can be better. hope the chef works on this.

drinks:

virgin pina colada (4/5) - balanced, tasty and yummy.

strawberry mojito (3/5) - it was too sweet and the tanginess of the lime and the punch of the mint were missing. needs to improve a lot.

dessert:

dulce de leche cheesecake (4/5) - yummy and delicious the sweetness is perfect.

overall a great dining experience with good food, service and ambiance.

this was my first visit to al ain and i'm glad i got a chance to try out pizza di rocco. this place has by far one of the best pizza's i have ever had. the real taste of a beautifully cooked dough in a brick oven, with enough sauce andingredientsto allow you to taste the beautiful bread. a must go for pizza lovers.

great pizza oven! pizza crust was a little too thin for me, but the dough, cooking, andingredientswere excellent. also, a few cuts of a thin focaccia with three dips were offered. interesting concept of building your own salads and pizza, but drinks are expensive. overall, a nice authentic pizza place, with lovely servers.
