What to Eat at Blu Pizzeria Jumeirah 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 Blu Pizzeria Jumeirah, 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 Blu Pizzeria Jumeirah, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Beef short rib Net +1
“Blu has always been one of my favorite pizza place in Dubai. My latest visit however is a little disappointing. While the rim crust of the pizza is crispy, the rest of the dough is limp and soggy. It wasn't like this before. It seems the standard has dropped. The tastes of the ingredients and flavors however are still very good. My favorites are Beef Short Rib, Burrata and Tartufo. I hope they can rectify the dough issue.”

Truffle pizzas Net +1
“- Ordered the pepperroni & truffle pizzas - Really strong balance of bread, tomato, cheese, and oil - Sits well in the stomach, not the type of pizza that makes you feel uncomfortably full due to the imbalance of ingredients - Just a tad bit too much peperroni and truffle on each pizza, could do with a bit less but not that big of a deal”

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Short Ribs. Start with the Short Ribs Pizza if you want the dish most consistently singled out by reviewers for its tender meat and rich flavour.
Add Honey. Ask for the hot honey and drizzle it over pizzas such as pepperoni or burrata; one reviewer specifically advises skipping it on Musakhan and Wagyu.
Request Crispness. If you prefer a crisper base, ask for the pizza to be baked slightly longer or made slightly crispier.
Avoid Peak Times. Visit outside busy weekend periods if you want to reduce the chance of queuing; weekend waits have been reported.
Use Virtual Queue. Reservations are not taken, but you can join the virtual queue online or at the restaurant before waiting for a table.
Plan Parking. RTA parking is available around the coastline, but you may need to walk; restaurant-area parking may carry its own cost.

Common Concerns
High Prices
Several reviews consider the pizzas expensive, with one diner objecting to paying nearly AED 100 for a pizza.
Small Space
The restaurant has limited seating, so it can feel cramped and is not ideal for lingering over a long meal.
Crust Variance
Some diners found the centre soft, wet or limp rather than crisp, although others enjoyed the chew and char.
Weekend Queues
Weekend visits can involve a wait; one reviewer joined a virtual queue and waited about 30 minutes for a table.
Cooling Issues
Summer comfort has been a concern in some reviews, including warm indoor temperatures and uncomfortable outdoor seating in high humidity.

The Bottom Line
Blu Pizzeria Jumeirah is a focused sourdough Neapolitan pizza spot where the pizza is very much the main event. The menu is short—roughly 10 pizzas in one review—but the strongest choices are the Short Ribs Pizza, Burrata Pizza, Spicy Pepperoni and Musakhan. The Short Ribs combines tender beef with truffle white sauce and caramelised onion, while Musakhan adds sumac and chicken for a Middle Eastern twist.
The dough is usually described as light, airy, chewy and wood-fired, with a thin base and charred edge. That said, texture is not perfectly consistent: some diners received a wet or limp centre, while others found the crust ideally crisp. Hot honey comes on the table and is a popular addition, though one reviewer suggests leaving it off Musakhan and Wagyu.
The setting is compact, with appealing water views and outdoor seating in good weather. Summer reviews mention heat, humidity and uncomfortable outdoor tables, so cooler evenings are more attractive. Expect Dubai-style pricing, with reported pizzas around AED 75–80 or AED 80–90, and occasional waits on weekends.
Parking is available nearby, but you may have to walk.
