With just six pizza options and limited seating, patience is part of the experience—but trust us, it’s worth the wait. Perfect for a casual slice (or two) when you’re craving pizza that punches way above its weight.

Hailing from New York, Il Motto brings authentic pizza vibes straight to JBR—and it doesn’t disappoint. The pizzeria serves up plenty of tempting deals, from a three-hour brunch with free-flowing pizza on Fridays and Saturdays, to lazy Sunday afternoon feasts.

It’s also a top pick for date night, with fab offers for couples every Friday to Sunday between 5pm and 8pm. And with the terrace opening at the end of last year, you can now enjoy your slices al fresco, soaking in the JBR vibes while the weather’s just right.

The stromboli, packed with tomato, fior di latte, peppers, Grana Padano, and your choice of fennel or spicy sausage, is always a winner, and there’s no shortage of veggie-friendly options for plant-based pizza lovers.

All dough is fermented for 48 hours and baked at 380°C, giving each pizza a perfectly blistered, Neapolitan-style crust.
