Known for its New York-style artisanal pizzas and vibrant slice-shop atmosphere, ‘Za ‘Za has built a loyal following in Dubai. The popular concept is now preparing to open its first branch in Abu Dhabi.

The upcoming outlet will be located at Al Qana, one of the capital’s emerging lifestyle and dining destinations. While an official opening date has not yet been announced, the expansion is already generating excitement among pizza fans in the city.


New York-style slices

At the heart of ‘Za ‘Za’s appeal is its New York-inspired pizza, served by the slice and made with quality ingredients and bold flavours.

Popular options on the menu include:

  • Tricolore

  • House Margherita

  • The Pepp

  • Trafuto

One of the most talked-about creations is The Red, a hot honey pizza that blends sweet and spicy flavours. For dessert, the Tres Leches Cake has also become a favourite among visitors.


Casual slice-shop atmosphere

The Abu Dhabi venue is expected to reflect the same relaxed and contemporary style that helped the brand gain popularity in Dubai. Guests can expect a casual urban pizzeria setting with a walk-in-only policy, which often results in queues at the Dubai branches.

For regular customers, however, the lively atmosphere and busy queues have become part of the experience.


Backed by the team behind Apollo and Rascals Deli

‘Za ‘Za was created by Table4Two Group, the hospitality team also behind popular dining concepts including Apollo and Rascals Deli.

With a strong following in Dubai and a menu that has already proved popular, the arrival of ‘Za ‘Za at Al Qana could become one of Abu Dhabi’s most anticipated casual dining openings.
