Jamie Oliver opens first site for Pizzeria concept in Dubai

Jamie Oliver Pizzeria has launched in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers development.

Oliver previously operated two of his other restaurant brands in the United Arab Emirates city – in Dubai Festival City and Jumeirah Beach Hotel – but both have since closed.

A spokesman for Jamie Oliver Group said: “This is our second restaurant with partners Apparel and sixth international Pizzeria restaurant.

Our new restaurant is in a prime location in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

Hosting around 115 covers, including a bright outdoor space, the new restaurant will be serving up amazing hand-stretched pizzas, fresh salads, al forno dishes and more.

The opening was led by Ben and Anna from our ops team.

A big shout out also to Tamas, the head chef from our Pizzeria in Budapest, and Becky from Jamie’s Italian Cardiff, who have been supporting the opening.

Congratulations to all involved!”

Oliver has recently suffered financial woes with some of his operations in the UK and the Australian arm of Jamie’s Italian, which entered administration earlier this week leading to Brisbane-based Hallmark Group taking over the operation of the chain’s Australian franchises.

However, much of Oliver’s international arm continues to go from strength to strength.

This month, transport hub foodservice specialist SSP Group opened a Jamie’s Deli at Nice airport, while in March the company launched his Pizzeria concept in the Netherlands.

Jamie Oliver currently has more than 50 sites internationally across 24 countries.
