Book Ahead. Call ahead or reserve before visiting, especially at busy times, since one review found the restaurant completely packed.
Try Truffle. If you enjoy earthy flavours, start with a truffle pizza; reviewers specifically describe it as balanced rather than overpowering.
Order Chips. Add the potato chips with yogurt sauce: one reviewer called them a must, and another highlighted their tangy, crispy bite.
Expect Noise. For easier conversation, consider an earlier or quieter visit; one family found the room became very loud as the night progressed.
Check Your Table. When seated, check above your table for air-conditioning leaks, since one guest reported water landing on food.
Share Portions. For groups, sharing can work well: one reviewer said the serving was enough for two to three people.

Some starters may feel undersized, so consider ordering with that expectation if you are dining hungry.
The restaurant can fill up quickly; one fully booked evening involved a 25–30 minute wait before seating.
Advance reservations were not completely reliable for one guest, who still waited 15 minutes despite arriving for a booking.
A family group found the restaurant became loud enough that conversation was difficult later in the evening.
One table experienced air-conditioning water dripping onto a hand and food, an issue the restaurant should address.
The Bottom Line
Moon Slice Pizza in Al Safa is geared towards diners who want more adventurous pizza than the usual margherita-and-pepperoni routine. The clearest draws are the Truffle Wagyu Pizza, MS Secret Pizza and Short Rib Pizza, alongside a 48-hour-fermented dough that reviewers describe as light, airy and crisp. The seafood pasta is also a strong choice, with one diner rating it 10/10.
There is plenty beyond pizza. The arancini have been praised for being crisp outside and creamy inside, while the Caesar salad, apple tart and potato chips with yogurt sauce also receive specific mentions. Local honey is worth considering if you like sweet-savoury combinations, particularly with pizza.
The room is cozy, modern and music-led, though one family found it became difficult to talk as the evening grew louder. Plan ahead for a popular service. One party waited 25–30 minutes for a table, and another experienced a 15-minute delay despite having a reservation, so calling ahead is sensible.
Starters can be small, and the restaurant was described as somewhat expensive by one reviewer, although another found the portions suitable for two to three people. One guest also reported air-conditioning water dripping onto food, so check your table when seated.
