The space welcomes you with subtle warmth, offering a pause from the hum of daily life, yet it carries an undercurrent of passionate creativity expressed through every pie that comes out of the oven.

This is the best pizza in town! I love the taste and flavor. The staff are very accommodating and efficient. However, the waiting time is around 20–30 minutes for both take-out and dine-in. I suggest having a bigger space, especially for summer. In winter, outdoor dining would be great.

A delightful little spot serving unique and flavorful pizzas. The dough is perfectly made, thin and light, crisp, and baked to perfection. The fig and gorgonzola pizza is truly exceptional, a must-try for adventurous palates— addictive. I’m also a big fan of the pepperoni with spicy honey. Kale isn’t my thing, so I didn't like it. if you're looking for a standard cheesy slice, this isn’t your place. The prices are a bit on the high side, but it's worth the experience. Inside seating is limited so expect to wait about 15-20 mins to be seated.

If you’re looking for one of the best pizza spots in Abu Dhabi, Marmellata is absolutely worth visiting. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, but the real star is the pizza. I tried both the Cheesy Basil and the Pepperoni, and they were outstanding in different ways. The Cheesy Basil is a true comfort pizza – rich, fresh, and beautifully balanced. The basil flavor is bright without being overpowering, and the cheese blend makes every bite melt in your mouth. I decided to add burrata, and it was the perfect choice; it gave the pizza an extra layer of creaminess and luxury. It’s the kind of pizza that feels simple but unforgettable. On the other hand, the Pepperoni had a bold, exciting flavor. What made it stand out was the drizzle of spicy honey – sweet, spicy, and smoky all at once. It’s not your standard pepperoni; it has that little twist that keeps you coming back for another slice. The crust was light, crisp on the outside, and chewy inside, holding all the flavors perfectly. Overall, Marmellata delivers top-quality pizza with creativity and care. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates pizza done right!

This artisanal pizza from Marmellata Bakery is a true delight! The menu promises interesting combinations, and the Mushroom & Kale with Garlic Confit (80) and Figs & Gorgonzola with Pistachio and Lemon (80) halves beautifully showcased this creativity. The crust is expertly cooked, achieving that desirable charred, bubbly texture that defines great Neapolitan-style pizza. Visually, the pizza is stunning, with vibrant greens and rich brown mushrooms on one side, and the colorful, slightly floral-looking toppings of the other. The Mushroom and Kale half was earthy and savory, while the Figs and Gorgonzola half offered a wonderful sweet, salty, and tangy contrast. It’s clear that high-quality ingredients are used. This is a must-try for anyone looking for elevated, non-traditional pizza toppings. The experience was excellent, making this a highly recommended spot.

It is an example of the world's most fabulous restaurants. We went as a family and ate onions and potato pokachia. We also ate half of a pepperoni pizza and half of a mushroom-and-kale pizza. The waiters were kind and generous and offered us many types of food we can choose. Will come again. Also, The honey-chilly sauce is amazing but quite spicy. Love this restaurant. Also ate mushrooms pokachia.

Marmellata Bakery truly makes the best pizza in the city - and I mean that. We visited on a Sunday evening in November and waited in line for about 15 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. The staff has an amazing system: they walk down the queue to ask how many pizzas each group plans to order so they can manage supply and make sure everyone gets their pizzas. It’s such a thoughtful touch and keeps the whole experience running smoothly. We ordered the pepperoni, and it was incredible. The spicy honey on top was something I’d never tried before, and it took the flavor to a whole new level. Even though we were waiting outside, the weather wasn’t hot at all, so the queue was actually enjoyable.
