Mr. Manish Jeswani, (the Managing Director of Eaters LLC and franchise rights owner of the US based 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria) and Master Pizzaiolo, Chef Rosario Accaria  ( Founder of 800 Degrees Pizza) enlightened us about 800 Degrees, the ingenious pizzeria that bakes the perfect pizza.

The immaculately dressed and charming Mr. Manish obliged us with an exclusive interview where he spoke about the new & upcoming branches of 800 Degrees at Diera City Center as well as Burjuman. 800 Degrees is all set to introduce the region to the rich heritage of Naples through its delectable & exhaustive range of Pizzas. When we think of Pizza we try not to think of healthy. So we were especially enamored by the Gluten free option as well as the fresh produce and toppings at 800 Degrees.

Mr. Manish mentioned that by introducing Gluten free option, they were opening the doors of Pizza delight for those with gluten intolerance and the health conscious. Manish Jeswani, mentioned that 800 Degrees wanted the customer to be completely invested in the creation of their meal.

It was heartening to see Master Pizzaiolo, Chef Rosario Accaria get his hands in the dough and personally help his staff whip out magical Pizzas. Mine was gluten free and so it sat on a special dark brown wooden spatula like plate with a long handle. I was thrilled to choose the crust & toppings as also to watch authentic Italian Pizza being baked in the blazing oven in just 90 seconds, right before my eyes. I loved this concept of fully customize pizzas conjuring up ingenious menus.

With a goal to take the GCC market by storm with culinary delights true to taste from Naples, 800 Degree Pizza’s fresh concept relies on creating completely customizable traditional Neapolitan Pizzas that are oven baked using Almond Wood right in front of the consumer.

The concept of 800 Degrees originated in Los Angeles, California.  800 Degrees attributes its exceptional ideology to the need for authentic Italian pizzas. Pizza Neapolitan is made with just flour, salt, water and wild yeast to create a fluffy, thin and crisp crust. A rich tomato sauce indigenous to 800 Degrees alone, the scrumptious base is then topped with fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Charred in an oven to perfection using Almond-Wood and all of this is up and ready in 90 seconds. Introducing the taste of Napoli for the first time to L.A., 800 Degrees now comes to the U.A.E. with rich, sumptuous and remarkable pizzas.
