• Bringing the flavors of the original pie, 800 Degrees Pizza offers a range of specialty pizzas and even allows the consumer to fully customize their favorite Neapolitan pizza from the base, up. 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 20, 2015: 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria launched its first franchise restaurant chain at the New City Center Me’aisem mall on 1st September, 2015. Ready to delight the UAE market with its innovative concept of customizable Neapolitan Pizzas made from special 00 flour shipped from Napoli and the freshest Italian tomatoes, 800 Degrees Pizza gives the country the truest taste of Italian pizza fit for royalty.

With an innovative menu of completely customizable pizzas, from the base to the toppings and beyond, these tasty Italian wonders are created in an authentic almond wood oven and baked to perfection in just 90 seconds at 800° for the perfect taste. Although the specialty of 800 Degrees is the original Neapolitan pie, 800 Degrees also provides a gluten-free base option. The menu of 800 Degrees does not just conform to serving pizzas alone – from gelato to burratas, ricotta cheese bread and everything in between, 800 Degrees is home to a variety of authentic Italian delicacies. 

Manish Jeswani, the Managing Director of Eaters LLC and franchise rights owner of the US based 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria, said, “The most common pizzerias in the region either make the authentic pizza with rigidity, leaving no room for creativity, or its fast food that doesn’t follow traditions. We wanted to bring a tradition to the table that people can really play with. The concept behind 800 Degrees Pizza isn’t just a Pizza Napoletana that lives up to its name – it’s a pizza that’s created by the people, for the people. You choose your flavor, and you can watch as our chefs bring your inspiration to life in the open kitchenette. You are just as involved in creating your special brand of pizza as we are, that’s the idea.” 

Under the leadership of Manish and Master Pizzaiolo, Chef Rosario Accaria, 800 Degrees Pizza is the ingenious pizzeria that bakes the perfect pizza to take the region on a tour through the rich heritage of Naples and back. 800 Degrees Pizza is planning to expand into various locations in the UAE, such as Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Center and Burjuman.
