3. Memos Pizzeria
If you want a pizza experience that feels upscale but is totally approachable then Memos in Al Arjun is your next stop.
Their all-white décor combined with low lights creates an upscale feeling. I thought I was dining in a luxury restaurant.
The huge windows on the sides bring in a ton of natural light so you can take aesthetic Instagram photos and they have somewhat of a boring view of the road.
The live Pizza cooking is definitely my favorite part. You can watch chefs toss up the dough and top it with your favorite ingredients. It’s a dinner or lunch with a nice show.
It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a casual date night or a stylish evening out with friends.
