What to Eat at Pizza Bay 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 Pizza Bay, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Pizza Bay, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Margherita Net −1
“We ordered the margherita, Hawaiian, and meat lovers pizza for dinner — it took a lot of time to arrive (more than an hour). The crust is perfectly thin and chewy at the bottom, and I loved the portions of the toppings. However they must use a low hydration dough because their top crust was very hard to eat and quite dry. Overall acceptable, but not the best in the city.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Share large. For two diners, a large pizza may be sufficient; one reviewer said it was more than enough for two.
Try truffle. If you like richer flavours, consider the truffle pizza; it was a clear favourite in a half-and-half order.
Check parking. Allow extra time to locate the restaurant and plan for difficult parking before choosing takeaway or dine-in.
Choose seating. Ask for an outdoor table if you want the canal atmosphere or a possible Burj Khalifa glimpse, but consider the heat.
Allow time. For delivery, leave a buffer: one customer waited more than an hour, while another stressed eating the pizza fresh and hot.

Common Concerns
Delivery inconsistency
One delivery arrived cold, burnt and inedible, while another review reported food taking more than an hour.
Dry crust
Some diners found the upper crust hard and dry, despite liking the thin, chewy base.
Limited parking
Parking can be difficult, with one reviewer describing it as effectively unavailable.
Outdoor heat
The canal-side terrace can be hot in Dubai weather, and one diner noticed a few flies.

The Bottom Line
Pizza Bay is a New York-style pizza restaurant in Business Bay with a menu that goes beyond the usual slice. Reviews point to thin, crisp-edged, chewy crusts, generous toppings and substantial portions; a large pizza was enough for two diners. The truffle pizza is a recurring favourite, while Butter Chicken Pizza gives the menu a distinctly local twist.
There is plenty to build a meal around: Garlic Knots, Alfredo Pasta, chicken wings and Nutella Pizza all receive specific mentions. The Alfredo is described as creamy and house-made, and the garlic knots are repeatedly treated as more than an afterthought. Service is another strength, with diners describing the team as friendly, attentive and helpful with recommendations.
The setting is a real part of the appeal. Outdoor seating overlooks the canal, and some tables have a Burj Khalifa view, although Dubai heat and occasional flies can make the terrace less comfortable. Finding the restaurant and parking may also take patience.
Quality is not completely consistent, especially for delivery. One order arrived cold, burnt and dry, while another took more than an hour; other customers reported food arriving hot and fresh. If ordering in, allow extra time, and for dine-in, eating the pizza fresh is the safer bet.
