Grab a slice of this Italian restaurant’s popular pizzas.
If you can’t make it to Italy, then you can make it to Roshn Front, Riyadh. The Italian restaurant, Spontini Pizza, is making its way from Milan to the Saudi Arabian capital. The casual restaurant chain is making its debut in the Kingdom.
Spontini Pizza is a family-run business that dates back to 1953. The family transformed their original restaurant, Cibi Cotti, to Spontini and sold pizzas by the slice. The first restaurant opened off of Corso Buenos Aires and gained a reputation for its food. The recipes for success were created—so much so that the recipe for the Pizza Al Taglio has not changed over the decades.
Spontini Pizza’s Instagram account includes posts celebrating the city, with images of pizza slices alongside the Al Faisaliah Tower and palm trees. If the brand’s previous restaurants are anything to go by, Riyadh is in for a tasty treat. Plus, the name itself, in Italian, refers to having a snack.
Spontini Pizza boasts budget dishes, which can be enjoyed in a relaxed setting. The menus around the world include classic Italian pizzas: Margherita, Mushrooms and Vegan Mediterranean. Plus, the dishes include Lasagna Bolognese, Lasagne with Pesto, Profiteroles and Tiramisu.
Today, Spontini Pizza can be found across the world. There are 28 branches in Italy, six in South Korea, three in Japan and one in Qatar. The Qatar branch can be found on Pearl Island in Doha.
The exact opening date for Spontini Pizza has not yet been confirmed.
