FALCONE, the Neapolitan pizzeria at Galleria Mall in Jumeirah, is now showcasing Chef Roberta’s Favourites, a monthly rotation of pizzas that draw directly from the culinary traditions of Naples. Each month brings a fresh creation, curated by Chef Roberta De Sario, whose standing among the world’s best pizza makers speaks to the calibre of what unfolds in the kitchen.
November opens with the Calzone Classico, a folded Neapolitan pizza that embodies Italian comfort in its simplest, most satisfying form. The dough is wood fired in custom Pavesi ovens until it achieves a lightly salted, crisp exterior the colour of burnished gold. Inside, cooked ham and creamy fior di latte await, their savoury richness balanced by the lightness of the crust. The result feels both handheld and elegant, convenient yet unhurried, the sort of food that tastes better when shared.
The format itself, folded rather than flat, signals intention: this is pizza reimagined for the moment, for easy enjoyment whether at table or moving through the day. FALCONE’s commitment to craft extends through every element, from the fresh gelato churned hourly to the pasta made daily, yet the Calzone Classico proves that sometimes the greatest restraint yields the greatest reward. Simple ingredients, precise technique, wood fired heat.
The Calzone Classico is available now at FALCONE, Galleria Mall, Al Barsha, Dubai, open daily from noon to eleven in the evening. Each month, a new creation will follow.
