Riyadh’s food scene just got more flavourful. Blu Pizzeriá, the Dubai-born concept inspired by Naples, Italy, has officially landed in An Nakheel, Riyadh. After building a fan base in both Abu Dhabi (opened in October 2024) and Dubai, the much-loved pizzeria is now in its soft opening phase in the Saudi capital.
Blu Pizzeriá Riyadh offers a cosy yet elevated dining experience, featuring dark wood interiors, plush seating, and lush decorative greenery. The design is as carefully considered as the menu, creating a welcoming space for pizza lovers.

The menu draws on the tradition of wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, with both classic and inventive options:
- Burrata – topped with basil burrata, cheese, and cherry tomatoes
- Spicy Pepperoni – made with cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, and spicy salami
- Short Ribs – a creative take with Black Angus ribs, caramelised onions, and truffle white sauce
- Musakhan – a fusion twist with chicken, cheese, and sour cream sauce
- Tartufo – layered with truffle paste, truffle oil, and shaved truffle
Blu Pizzeriá in Riyadh is open daily from 7 PM to 1 AM, and it’s walk-in only.
This opening adds to the growing number of exciting new arrivals in Riyadh. If you’re out exploring the city’s latest culinary offerings, be sure to also check out Lenôtre Paris and Ralph’s Coffee, which have recently opened their doors.
