Jazz@PizzaExpress
has finally arrived in Abu Dhabi and they came, they saw, they conquered,
well almost.
It's been in the news for a while now
that Jazz@PizzaExpress is coming to town and I'm so glad they finally have.
However, there is a catch, this branch does not have their alcohol license yet.
They are said to get it soon, but how soon is the question.
I've visited the Dubai branch several
times & absolutely love it so I knew I was in for a good meal at their Abu
Dhabi branch as well.
For starters I absolutely recommend
the very famous 'Dough Ball Speciale' which basically are crunchy dough balls
roll that are baked with Parmesan & served with garlic butter. The dough
balls and garlic butter as a combination are the Brad Pitt & Angelia Jolie
of food, simply meant to be, also best served hot (if you know what I
mean)
Moving on to what everyone visits
them for, their pizzas. If I were to describe their Pizzas in 3 words, I would
say, Thin, Crispy & Spicy. Is that the ideal Pizza? OH YES IT IS.
What I would recommend?
Cipolla Piccante for the Vegetarians
which is a combination of red onions, green chilli, crushed chilli, roquito
peppers and mozarella.
Pollo Ad Astra in Chicken - In my
Indian accent, I'm like yes please, pollo, add extra (No I'm joking, that's not
how I speak) But yes definitely what I would recommend if you want to
opt for a Chicken option. It's a combination of Chicken, Sweet Peppadew Pepper,
Cajun Spice, Garlic Oil and Red Onions.
Also haven't tried this myself, but I
hear the American Hot is a must-try for a beef lover.
Music & Ambiance - When you talk
about Jazz@PizzaExpress, ambiance definitely has a huge role to play. So this
branch is huge, atleast going by Abu Dhabi standard, however since not too many
people know about it, it was rather empty. There was this band called Uptown
performing who were not too bad.
Staff - Inspite of being newly
opened, they knew their thing & were well aware of everything on the menu.
Also they were nice enough to let us take over, sort of.
Pricing - Cost per pizza is between
60 - 80 AED
Lastly, come on Jazz@PizzaExpress, your Pizza's need company,
get the alcohol license already.
Aww! Look at them :) |
