What to Eat at Pitfire Pizza 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 Pitfire Pizza, 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.

“I recently tried the Pepperoni Pizza at Pitfire Pizza in Time Out Market Dubai, and it was a good, solid pizza. The crust had a nice crispiness to it, with just the right amount of chew. The pepperoni had a bit of spice, and the cheese and sauce were well-balanced, making for a decent, satisfying meal.”September 2024

Tips for a Better Visit
Order Knots. Add the garlic knots, ideally with black truffle sauce or truffle dip; they are often the meal's standout.
Try Truff Daddy. Order the Truff Daddy pizza with burrata if you enjoy truffle, and consider extra chili flakes, parmesan and sauce.
Visit Off-Peak. Time Out Market can become very crowded on weekends, so book ahead or avoid the busiest period.
Dine In. If possible, eat at the restaurant rather than ordering delivery; one reviewer found the pizza much better in person.
Add Hot Honey. Ask for the provided hot honey sauce if you like a sweet-spicy finish on your pizza.

The Bottom Line
Pitfire Pizza is a casual Downtown Dubai option inside the Time Out Market, where you order at the counter, wait for the machine to beep and find a seat in the shared food-hall space. The main draw is its thin, crispy pizza: the Margherita, pepperoni, truffle pizza and Buffalo Chicken all receive specific praise, while the garlic knots are arguably the most consistently celebrated item. The Truff Daddy, formerly called Triple Truffle, is worth considering with burrata; one reviewer also suggests extra chili flakes, parmesan and truffle sauce on the side.
Hot honey is another useful add-on. The atmosphere can be lively, with neon signs and busy weekend crowds, but that also means queues and limited seating. One diner reported waiting an hour and a half, so an off-peak visit or advance booking makes sense.
Quality is not completely consistent. Some customers describe dry or overcooked crust, and delivery has received notably harsher feedback than eating in. Service reviews are mixed too, ranging from warm recommendations to complaints about rude interactions.
There are no clear current menu prices, though one reviewer considered $20+ expensive for the quality, so check the bill before ordering.
