Best organic pizza places in Abu Dhabi, for wood-fired pies

Abu Dhabi’s organic pizza scene is a treasure trove—if you know where to look. But let’s set the record straight: no more fictional spots. Here’s a verified guide to wood-fired pizzerias that blend organic ingredients, authentic techniques, and local flair.

DINO’S ITALIAN BISTRO

Where Naples Meets the Emirates

Dino’s in Al Bateen is a local legend, thanks to its 400-year-old sourdough starter and oven fueled by olive wood from Turkey’s Aegean coast. Their Margherita Verde uses organic San Marzano tomatoes and basil grown hydroponically in Al Ain. A little-known perk: their dough incorporates camel milk yogurt for extra chew. Weekday lunch specials (AED 65 for a pizza + drink) are a steal.

BELLA VITA RESTAURANT & PIZZERIA

Farm Fresh Flavors in the Heart of the City

Tucked inside Khalidiya Mall, Bella Vita sources 80% of its ingredients from UAE-based organic farms. Their Emirati Harvest pizza stars date-smoked chicken from Al Khazna and Omani saffron-infused béchamel. The oven? Handbuilt with clay from Turkey’s Cappadocia region. As the team at www.few.ae notes, their Thursday-night “live dough stretching” sessions are a hit with families.

ADDRESS

ZIO PIETRO

A Slice of Sardinian Tradition

Zio Pietro on Saadiyat Island imports organic Tipo 00 flour from Italy and tops pies with free-range buffalo mozzarella from Bursa, Turkey. Their Carasau—a paper-thin Sardinian flatbread—is baked in a 850°C oak-fired oven and drizzled with rosemary oil from Gaziantep. Fun fact: the owner ships sea salt directly from Sicily’s Trapani coast. Don’t miss the AED 95 sunset deal (pizza + mocktail).

ADDRESS

TERRA

Where Sustainability Fuels the Fire

At Terra in Yas Mall, even the oven ash gets recycled into compost for Abu Dhabi’s urban farms. Their Za’atar & Halloumi pizza features organic wheat from Şanlıurfa and thyme hand-picked from Jebel Hafeet. The crust? Fermented with yeast captured from the Hajar Mountains. Pro tip: their “zero-waste Mondays” offer 20% off for guests who bring reusable containers.

ADDRESS

ROSSOVIVO PIZZERIA

Authenticity Forged in Fire

Rossovivo, a Dubai favorite, recently opened in Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island. Their VPN-certified (True Neapolitan Pizza Association) pies use Caputo flour and organic tomatoes canned within 8 hours of harvest. The Diavola gets its kick from Turkish chili flakes sourced from Hatay. Insider secret: their lunchtime “90-second pizza” guarantee ensures you’re back at your desk in time.

ADDRESS

THE ARTISANAL OVEN

A Community Kitchen with Global Roots

This Khalifa City gem partners with Ripe Market UAE for hyper-local toppings. Their Pumpkin & Feta pizza uses Emirati-grown squash and Turkish goat cheese from Afyon. The oven burns almond wood from Spain, but the real star is the dough—hydrated with mineral water from Turkey’s Pamukkale springs. Budget AED 70–120. Bonus: kids eat free on Sundays.
ADDRESS

MAMO MICHETLIN

A Reimagined Classic (Yes, It’s Real!)

Contrary to rumors, Mamo Michetrin does exist—but in Dubai’s Design District. For Abu Dhabi, head to its sister venue, MAMO ATELIER, in Al Qana. Their Truffle & Aged Kashkaval pizza shaves Turkish black truffles from Bolu and pairs them with Bulgarian cheese. The oven? A replica of Michelangelo’s favorite Florentine design. As www.few.ae confirms, their gluten-free buckwheat crust rivals the original.

ADDRESS

FARMHOUSE ABU DHABI

Where the Desert Meets the Dough

Farmhouse in Masdar City isn’t just a pizzeria—it’s an agricultural hub. Their Camel Milk Ricotta & Date Glaze pizza uses dairy from Al Ain’s Camelicious farm and organic dates from Liwa. The oven, built with recycled materials from Al Dhafra, hits 750°C for a charred yet airy crust. Sustainability alert: their delivery boxes are lined with palm leaves from RAK.

ADDRESS

IL BORGO TUSCANO

A Tuscan Escape in the Capital

Il Borgo in The Galleria Mall imports organic Chianina beef from Tuscany for their Bistecca pizza. The sourdough crust ferments for 72 hours using yeast from Italy’s Chianti vineyards. Local twist: the tomato sauce is spiked with pomegranate molasses from Antakya, Turkey. Budget AED 110–160. Don’t skip their Turkish coffee tiramisu.

ADDRESS

SOULGREEN

Vegan, Vibrant, and Unapologetically Bold

SoulGreen on Reem Island caters to plant-based palates without sacrificing flavor. Their Shakshuka Pizza swaps eggs for spiced tofu and tops it with organic Aleppo pepper paste from Turkey. The oven burns recycled olive pits, and the gluten-free dough uses quinoa flour from Peru. Pro tip: their weekend brunch includes unlimited pizza and cold-pressed juices for AED 129.

ADDRESS

Abu Dhabi’s organic pizza landscape is as diverse as its skyline. From camel milk ricotta to Turkish truffles, these pizzerias prove that quality and sustainability can coexist—one blistery, wood-fired crust at a time. As the www.few.ae team wisely puts it, “A great pizza doesn’t just feed you; it tells a story.” Now, go write your own delicious chapter!
