What to Eat at Piazza17 City Walk 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 Piazza17 City Walk, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Visit sunset. Choose sunset or cooler weather for the outdoor seating; one reviewer specifically recommends going around sunset.
Use parking. Check the free parking behind the truck before settling elsewhere in City Walk.
Try Diavola. Order the Diavola if you enjoy a slightly spicy pizza, but ask for another option if you prefer mild flavours.
Order pancakes. Ask for the mini pancakes early or check availability, as one visitor found them sold out.
Try delivery. The pizzas have also been praised when delivered, so takeaway or delivery is worth considering beyond the outdoor setting.

Common Concerns
Outdoor heat
Because seating is outside, Dubai’s warmer months can make the visit uncomfortable.
Higher pricing
One reviewer found the prices slightly high compared with other popular pizza places.
Spicy Diavola
The Diavola is notably spicy, so it may not suit diners who prefer mild pizza.
Mild chicken
The chicken pizza was described as bland with less cheese, which may disappoint fans of richer toppings.

The Bottom Line
Piazza17 City Walk is an Italian street-style food truck in Al Wasl, with outdoor seating and a Burj Khalifa view. It suits a casual pizza stop, a relaxed coffee break or a dessert run rather than a formal Italian meal. The pizzas are the main draw: reviews specifically mention the soft-crust pizza, pesto pizza, Diavola and margarita, while the lasagna is also repeatedly singled out.
There is plenty to explore beyond the core pizza menu. Mini pancakes, gelato and mini Krapfen appear often in reviews, and the Blue Lagoon, passionfruit and strawberry mojitos are popular drink choices. The outdoor setup, music and presentation—food arriving in baskets and drinks styled decoratively—are part of the appeal.
Timing matters in Dubai. Reviewers found the open-air seating too hot in warmer weather and suggest visiting around sunset or during cooler months. Free parking is reported directly behind the truck.
If you dislike spice, be cautious with the Diavola; one reviewer also found the chicken pizza relatively bland and light on cheese. Pricing opinions vary: some call it reasonable, while another says it is slightly high compared with popular pizza joints.
