What to Eat at 800PIZZA Motorcity - 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 Motorcity - 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 Motorcity - 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
Dine in. Choose dine-in when possible: multiple delivery reviews mention cold or stale food, including one pizza that arrived after an hour.
Specify crust. If you prefer a crisp, light base, ask for the pizza thin and crispy, as one diner received it exactly that way.
Bring kids. Families can ask about the activity where children make their own pizzas; several reviews say kids particularly enjoyed it.
Try bresaola. Bresaola pizza is a recurring recommendation, including alongside black truffle pizza in one review.
Check truffle. If ordering truffle pizza, ask about the topping portion first; one reviewer found there was barely any truffle.
Visit midday. A mid-day visit may be calmer: one diner said they had almost the entire restaurant to themselves.

The Bottom Line
800PIZZA Motorcity is a cosy Italian-style pizza restaurant in Motor City, with pizza, pasta and a wood-fired oven. The main appeal is the choice of thin, crispy pizzas, with reviewers calling out Bresaola pizza, Neapolitan pizza and Margherita variations. Pesto pasta and lasagna also receive positive mentions, so it is not only a pizza stop.
The dine-in setting has an old-school Italian feel, including music and red-and-white checked tables, plus a cute outdoor area. Service is often described as warm and attentive, and staff have helped diners choose dishes or adjust orders. Families have an especially useful extra: children can make and eat their own pizzas.
Quality is not completely consistent, however. Several delivery orders arrived cold, stale, hard or damaged, while one diner reported receiving a pizza after an hour. The truffle pizza has also drawn criticism for having very little truffle despite its higher price, and a Margherita delivery was described as small and nearly cheeseless.
For a first visit, dine in if possible, specify a thin-and-crispy base, and consider the Bresaola pizza. If ordering delivery or truffle pizza, check the order promptly and confirm expectations before committing.
