“This little joint in Motor City makes great pizzas. We decided to dine in rather than order, and the pizza was fantastic fresh from the oven. It had a thin crust, but you could easily hold and eat it. Our kids loved their Margharita. If you’re in the area, it’s a very good option. Next time, I’ll try their delivery and see if it’s just as good.”

“They put pesto on a vegan pizza. After calling to inquire, which took 10mins, turns out the pesto contains cheese. So who puts that on a vegan pizza? I order vegan because am allergic to dairy. If I had trusted it to be vegan I would end up in the hospital. Tried telling them on the phone and they don't seem to understand”

Try brisket. If you like barbecue flavours, start with the BBQ brisket pizza; it was a clear favourite in several detailed meals.
Split flavours. Ask whether pizzas can be split into two flavours; one table turned two pizzas into four different combinations.
Check pesto. If ordering vegan or avoiding dairy, confirm the pesto ingredients first, since one vegan pizza arrived with cheese-containing pesto.
Choose outdoors. Consider outdoor seating if indoor noise or ventilation concerns would affect your meal.
Order dine-in. For the freshest pizza experience, dine in when possible; one review specifically praised pizza served fresh from the oven.
Try truffle. The truffle pizza is worth considering even if you are not usually a truffle fan; one diner was unexpectedly impressed.

One home-delivery order arrived dry, burned and salty, so quality may vary between visits or orders.
A customer ordering a vegan pizza discovered that the pesto contained cheese, a serious issue for anyone with a dairy allergy.
The dining area has been described as a bit loud, which may matter if you want a quieter meal.
One diner felt the appetizer and juice portions were too small compared with the bill.
A review asked the restaurant to improve air circulation indoors ahead of the hotter season.
The Bottom Line
Pizza Di Rocco Motor City is an Italian pizzeria in Motor City where the main draw is pizza, with pasta and vegan choices for anyone who wants something beyond the usual slice. Reviews repeatedly point to the BBQ brisket pizza, while the thin, crispy crust and fresh toppings also earn praise. Fattoria, truffle, Frutti di Mare and Pollo picante are other named options worth noting.
Dine-in has a relaxed feel, with indoor and outdoor seating, and families have found the portions generous enough for children and adults. Some guests received complimentary bread with pesto, Parmesan and olive oil, and one table enjoyed complimentary dessert. Service is a consistent strength: reviews describe the team as welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.
If you are sharing, ask about splitting a pizza into two flavours; one group turned two pizzas into four combinations. There are a few practical cautions. The dining room has been called loud, and one review raised indoor air-circulation concerns.
Delivery was excellent for some customers but one order arrived dry, burned and salty. Most importantly, vegan diners—and especially anyone with a dairy allergy—should check the pesto ingredients, as a customer found cheese in the pesto served on a vegan pizza. Prices were described as reasonable, and the business also lists a weekday AED 49 lunch, though that price comes from the restaurant rather than a customer review.
