The pizza joint finds a prime location in Dubai’s Motor City.


Dubai is no stranger to great pizza. With beloved spots like Blu Pizzeria, Pitfire Pizza and ‘Za’ Za constantly drawing crowds, there’s a new contender coming to town called Pizzeria Funkcoolio.

Located at the Neighborhood Food Hall in Dubai Motor City, Pizzeria Funkcoolio is a NYC-inspired pizza concept backed by acclaimed chef Akmal Anuar. The food hall is already home to some firm FACT favourites like Al Naqa and High Joint, meaning the upcoming restaurant is in great culinary company.

The star of the show at Pizzeria Funkcoolio is, of course, the pizza. Chef Akmal Anuar has taken classic Italian flavours and added his signature twist. The menu features handcrafted pizzas such as Margherita, Pepperoni, Spicy Duck, Shrimp Aji Amarillo, Chicken Ragu, Shakshuka, and much more. Served in sizes of 20-inch, 15-inch or 10-inch, you can top off your selection with truffle oil, spicy mayo, chilli oil or honey chilli.

Pizzeria Funkcoolio has also got plenty in store for pasta lovers. A build-your-own pasta bar allows you to pick from favourites and pair them with your choice of rich and creamy sauces. For dessert, you can indulge in a terrific homemade tiramisu.
