If you haven’t tried pizza at Japanese street food phenomenon Akiba Dori, *shake your head*.

The pizza party is a carb carnival that really needs some toppings (thank you we’re here all week) and we’re putting it there – probably Yas Bay “first class” new date night. Choose from two signature Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizzas, plus a salad and two hours of ready-to-drink house wine for AED 179 for two. Mama mia san *Japanese-Italian gestures*.
