  24. Pizza margherita with extra burrata mozzarella Net +1
    “We had a pizza margherita with extra burrata mozzarella and a pizza melanzane. They were good but my expectations might have been too high. I thought the taste between ingredients was not balanced, especially the melanzane had too many different ingredients that didn't go very well together. Also, it was too oily.”
  25. Roman Net +1
    “I had chosen the Roman style base even though the Classic called out to me and was also the cashier’s choice. He described the difference as thick vs thin, since the description says the Roman can hold toppings, and when I think personal pan I think thicker crust, I went with Roman. But as a New Yorker, I see what others mean. The “thick” slices weren’t really thick at all from our perspective, but they absolutely held the Corleone toppings. In my experience sometimes meaty slices can get very oily and have the meat juices/oil seep through. Bada bing Roman slices held 100%. All the ingredients were super fresh and delicious. Thoroughly satisfying pie even though shared between 2 people.”

The only place that does it on sourdough base which is so good for the gut but still so delicious , you can really taste the quality of their ingridents and every time we order the quality is the same and you can taste the effort.”
  28. Roman style Net +1
    “I preferred the Roman style since it felt more hearty and had a great crunch to it.”
  29. Roman style base Net +1
    “I had chosen the Roman style base even though the Classic called out to me and was also the cashier’s choice.

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6
1

Pick Roman. Choose Roman if you want a crunchier base that can carry heavier toppings; one New York reviewer found it held meaty slices well.

2

Try burrata. For a first pizza, consider Burrata Diavola or the burrata pizza, both repeatedly singled out by customers.

The Bottom Line

Bada Bing is a Dubai Marina pizza restaurant with a bakehouse attached, and the strongest reason to visit is the dough. Reviews consistently point to sourdough pizzas with crisp edges and light, airy centres, while the Roman-style base is praised for carrying generous or meaty toppings without turning oily. You can order familiar choices such as Margherita, or go for Burrata Diavola and the spicy honey pizza.

The pastry counter is not an afterthought. Croissants, pain au chocolat and cinnamon rolls are repeatedly described as flaky, buttery and fresh; one reviewer called the pastries unusually large and good value. The Maritozzo and Vanilla Bomboloni also have loyal fans.

For a group, an older review mentions the La Festa Combo: four pizzas, five drinks, three sides and three desserts for AED 300, though prices may have changed. Inside, seating is limited and described as tight, with additional outdoor seating. The mood is casual and cozy rather than formal, and service is usually quick and friendly, though one visit found staff disengaged.

Parking can be awkward around the Marina, so allow time to find an RTA space. Delivery is generally reliable, but one order arrived cold in cooler weather. If you like heat, add the in-house chili oil or special chili sauce.
