“And oh, the Philly White Pie with fresh, creamy ricotta—words almost fail to do this justice. The velvety ricotta melts into a silky, luscious layer that complements the perfectly baked crust, balancing richness with freshness. It’s a standout creation that stays on your mind long after the last bite.”August 2025
“A friend of mine kept telling me about their Peri Peri Lisbon Pizza, so I finally went to check it out today. I’m usually super picky with spicy pizzas, but this one is the real deal. The heat from the peri peri sauce is perfect, and the crust was baked beautifully. We also got the Buffalo Wings which were so incredibly juicy and tangy. Definitely my new favorite hangout spot”

Start spicy. Try the Peri Peri Lisbon Pizza if you want controlled heat and a Portuguese-style spice profile.
Share fries. Add Cream Cheese Fries for the table; reviewers describe them as rich, hot and addictive.
Split pizza. Ask about a half-and-half pizza if you want to compare flavours, as one guest combined Texas Chicken and Beef Pepperoni.
Order online. For delivery, WhatsApp ordering was reported as courteous, with the pizza arriving hot and before the estimated time.
Bring family. For a family meal, reviewers mention a quiet setting and nearby space where children can play.
Check location. Allow extra time to find the restaurant while the surrounding premises remain under development.

One delivery reviewer received a large Brooklyn Meat Supreme that was unusually oily and salty, with sparse meat.
A customer said a discounted pizza arrived with reduced toppings and tasted far below expectations.
A review says the premises were difficult to locate while the surrounding area was still under development.
The Bottom Line
Cheese Burst is a pizza restaurant in Al Qusais where the menu stretches from familiar New York-style slices to more distinctive combinations. The Peri Peri Lisbon Pizza, Beirut Shawarma Pizza, Cream Cheese Fries and Philly White Pie are among the clearest review-backed reasons to visit, while pasta and burgers give groups more choice than a pizza-only stop. The crust is a recurring strength: the New York Style Pepperoni was described as thin, crisp and foldable without being greasy, while other reviews found crusts crisp outside and soft inside.
The Peri Peri Lisbon Pizza gets particular attention for balanced heat and Portuguese flavour, and the Cream Cheese Fries are repeatedly praised for their rich coating and consistency. The crispy chicken burger and Alfredo pasta are also worth considering if someone in the group is not ordering pizza. Inside, reviews describe a clean, cosy and relaxed setting with friendly service, short waits and a family-friendly feel.
One reviewer mentioned nearby space for children to play, and another described a quiet atmosphere. Delivery can be quick, including one WhatsApp order that arrived before its ETA. There are two cautions: finding the premises may be difficult while the area is under development, and isolated delivery reviews report oily, salty pizza or reduced toppings.
