What to Eat at 800PIZZA Al Barsha - Dubai How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For 800PIZZA Al Barsha - Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of 800PIZZA Al Barsha - Dubai, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Add basil. If ordering the Classic Margherita, ask for extra fresh basil; one reviewer specifically preferred it that way.
Request crispness. Ask the staff to make your pizza extra crispy if that is your preference; a reviewer says they accommodated the request.
Prefer pickup. For a time-sensitive meal, consider takeaway: one order was ready in the promised 10 minutes, while several delivery reviews report long waits.
Check delays. If ordering delivery during bad weather, check the status directly; one office order arrived hot but was delayed and the restaurant called to explain.
Try tiramisu. Leave room for the Tiramisu if you want to try a dessert: one long-term customer singled it out as especially good.
Watch timing. Build in extra delivery time rather than relying on the quoted window, since one reviewer reported an 88-minute arrival.

Common Concerns
Delivery delays
Delivery times can be a serious problem: one order took 88 minutes, while another was cancelled after roughly 90 minutes without notice.
Undercooked pizza
Some delivery orders were reported as warm, undercooked, bland or dry, so the delivered result appears less consistent than dine-in feedback.
Order errors
A customer reported receiving the wrong Margarita order three times and waiting three hours for the issue to be addressed.
Offer refusal
One customer said the branch repeatedly refused an order linked to the Entertainer offer, despite apparently accepting it on the platform.
Mixed pasta
The Quattro formaggi pizza was preferred to the creamy chicken pasta, which the reviewer considered only average.

The Bottom Line
800PIZZA Al Barsha is a pizza, pasta and Italian-dishes restaurant with a wood-fired oven. The reviews make the pizza the main draw: expect a thin, crisp style, with the Classic Margherita, Diavola, Creamy Chicken Pizza and Quattro formaggi pizza all receiving individual mentions. A gluten-free pizza is also praised, and the Tiramisu has its own enthusiastic fan.
The strongest pattern is texture and freshness. Customers describe fresh toppings, traditional or Roman-style dough, and a crust that can be made extra crispy on request. Families have also enjoyed the curly fries, while dine-in reviewers mention a cosy atmosphere and attentive service.
Takeaway can be efficient; one order was ready in the promised 10 minutes. Delivery is the main caution. Experiences range from punctual, hot orders to an 88-minute wait, undercooked pizza, repeated order errors and a cancellation after about 90 minutes without notice.
For an important or time-sensitive meal, pickup looks less risky than delivery. If you do order in, check the status and allow plenty of extra time, especially in difficult weather. Pricing feedback is mixed: one lunch deal was considered good value, while another customer found the restaurant costly compared with nearby alternatives.
