Licensed entertainment-led pizza and cocktail joint Pepperoni is building a comedy community while satisfying cravings at One Central.
RIKAS Hospitality’s boldest concept to date has launched at 25 Jump Street. The venue’s energy is the result of a mix of live comedy and a menu featuring classic Italian-American dishes and drinks, positioning itself as the perfect place for dates, drinks or a night out with friends.
Pepperoni’s open kitchen is cooking up classics such as mezzi rigatoni, caeser salad and American-style crust pizza, tiramisu, pistachio cream-filled bombolone and vanilla and popcorn sundaes drizzled with caramel sauce. Cocktails served in inflatable flamingos or named after condiments are on the drinks menu, to be nursed around an intimate stage seating up to 120 people.
Warm lighting and tiered seating creates a cosy stage atmosphere, while chocolate leather booths, vintage décor and a photo booth bring nostalgic comfort. Guests can relax on the outdoor terrace or sit at Pepperoni’s retro-themed diner while soaking in the kitsch amalgamation of styles and furbishing.
“Pepperoni is our boldest concept to date,” said RIKAS Hospitality CEO Rizwan Kassim. “In partnership with some of the biggest names in the region’s entertainment business, we’re proud to enrich Dubai’s F&B landscape with a unique concept that further strengthens Dubai’s cultural and entertainment scene.”
