“On the culinary front, there is no denying the quality on offer. The pizzas, spanning the garlic pizza, trio pizza, and BBQ pizza deliver unique flavour profiles with a crispy crust. However, the service experience leaves much to be desired. Napkins were not offered throughout the meal, and perhaps most disappointingly, all three dishes arrived cold. A shortcoming that significantly undermines what could have been an outstanding dining experience.”

Ask doneness. If you prefer pasta more cooked, say so when ordering; one diner found the spaghetti less cooked than preferred.
Check temperature. Because some reviews mention cold pizzas, check the dish when it arrives and raise any temperature issue immediately.
Try truffle. For a first pizza, the truffle option is the most consistently singled-out choice in the reviews.
Allow time. If you have mall plans afterward, leave extra time: one pizza order took 50 minutes before the first pie arrived.
Ask questions. The menu has variety, but one diner found staff needed to check with the kitchen about menu questions.
Use parking. If you are driving to Dubai Mall, a reviewer found nearby parking convenient for the visit.

A few diners received pizzas cold or barely warm, including an order that arrived after a 50-minute wait.
Some visits involved long waits and repeated requests for menus, napkins, cutlery or the bill.
Pizza quality was not consistent: one review describes a burnt, hard crust while another reports rock-hard pizza.
Cutlery, salt and napkins were reportedly missing from tables during one group meal.
A review of the steak and russeta found both well cooked but smaller than expected.
The Bottom Line
Moonslice Pizza in Downtown Dubai is a Dubai Mall restaurant where pizza shares the menu with substantial pasta and salad options. The truffle pizza is the most repeatedly recommended order, while the mushroom pasta and seafood pasta give non-pizza diners good alternatives. One detailed review also praised the kale salad, strawberry mojito and apple tart as part of a broader meal.
The setting leans polished but relaxed: reviews mention dim lighting for date nights, a warm wooden interior, simple table lighting and a calm, quiet atmosphere. Parking nearby was described as convenient, and one birthday visit included a tiramisu and a birthday song, suggesting the restaurant can handle a celebratory dinner as well as a casual meal. Service is a noticeable variable.
Many diners describe friendly, attentive staff and quick delivery, but others had to repeatedly request napkins, cutlery or the bill. More seriously, some pizzas arrived cold, barely warm or burnt, with one order taking 50 minutes for the first pizza. If timing matters, allow extra room and check the food when it arrives.
For pasta, mention your preferred doneness; one diner specifically wished the spaghetti were more cooked. Prices are not stated in the supplied reviews, though one visitor described the restaurant as being on the pricier side.
