Lumiere, located in Dammam’s Al-Shatie district, blends spaciousness and elegance in a welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant is bathed in natural sunlight, creating a warm and inviting setting with a mix of classic and modern decor in soothing colors, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions.

The menu offers a wide variety of choices, from breakfast and salads to appetizers, pasta, and sweets. I started with the standout corn and sour cream appetizer — sweet, crunchy corn paired with tangy sour cream, a simple yet delightful dish.

For the main course, the butter chicken was a highlight, with tender chicken in a rich, creamy sauce bursting with flavor, a must-try dish.

To end the meal, the San Sebastian cheesecake delivered a creamy texture and balanced sweetness, a perfect conclusion.

The Arabic coffee, infused with cardamom and saffron, was also a standout — rich, aromatic, and hard to resist.

Where We Are Going Today: Pizza Dealer in Jeddah

  • The chicken hit and grandma mushroom pizzas included additional ingredients such as panko chicken, truffle oil, and sauteed mushrooms. All were consistent, each ingredient clearly present and complementing the overall flavor of the pizza

RIYADH: Located on Al-Safa Street in Al-Nahdah district, Pizza Dealer is a casual spot that provides takeout orders and caters for families looking for quick, accessible meals.

I tried a mix of items, starting with the buffalo wings and the melted potato skins.

The wings came in a standard buffalo sauce with ranch and were consistent in preparation. The melted skins featured cheddar, bacon, and ranch over a potato crust, which worked as expected but was heavier than anticipated for a starter.

Moving on to the pizzas, I sampled both thin crust and stuffed options. The margherita, whether thin or stuffed, had a straightforward combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and cherry tomatoes. 

The thin-crust version was light and easy to handle, while the stuffed one added a cheese stick inside, making it more filling. Each pizza slice could be personalized with Pizza Dealer’s locally made chili flakes, oregano, and chili sauce, adding an extra layer of flavor.

The pepperoni and philly steak offerings followed a similar pattern, with the stuffed options delivering more density and a layered texture. 

The chicken hit and grandma mushroom pizzas included additional ingredients such as panko chicken, truffle oil, and sauteed mushrooms. All were consistent, each ingredient clearly present and complementing the overall flavor of the pizza.

Being a small place, many people may pass this establishment by, but it is really a hidden gem for pizza lovers looking for a simple and affordable option.

In conclusion, Pizza Dealer offers a straightforward, reliable pizza experience for those looking for classic and stuffed pizzas, along with sides. For more details, check pizzadealer.sa.
