Pizza and Manakeesh Together: The Best of Both Worlds in Ajman
Why choose when you can have both? At Yalla Pizza Ajman, one order can carry pepperoni pizza for the kids and zaatar manakeesh for the grandparents — the ultimate family meal.
Why Pizza AND Manakeesh?
Picture the scene: it is Friday evening and the whole family is gathering for dinner. The kids are already chanting for pizza — cheese, pepperoni, something with chicken. Your parents are in the living room and your mother has been craving a warm zaatar manoushe with olive oil since morning. Your grandfather, a man of tradition, wants nothing to do with pizza and would be perfectly happy with a meat manoushe the way it was made back home. And you, the one who placed the order? You want both. The old answer to this situation was three separate phone calls to three different places, a delivery window that stretched from eight to ten and a cold pizza arriving at the same moment as lukewarm manakeesh. The new answer is one WhatsApp message to Yalla Pizza. Our kitchen handles pizza and manakeesh simultaneously — because they come from the same hands, the same dough skills and the same fire.
Popular Pizza + Manakeesh Combos
Some combinations work so well together they feel like they were always meant to be ordered side by side. Here are three combos that regulars love:
- Pepperoni Pizza + Zaatar Manoushe: The classic East-meets-West pairing. Crispy pepperoni slices, melted mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce — and right beside it, a warm disc of dough pressed with zaatar and olive oil that has been feeding families since before pizza reached the Middle East. Together they create a complete Levantine-Western spread on one table.
- Chicken Shawarma Pizza + Meat Manoushe: Two proteins, two traditions, zero compromise. The Chicken Shawarma Pizza layers marinated shawarma chicken, garlic sauce and pickles on Italian-style dough — a full East-West fusion on one slice. The Meat Manoushe keeps it purely traditional: spiced ground lamb and beef pressed into soft flatbread dough. Order both and you have covered every preference from modern fusion lover to heritage purist.
- Veggie Pizza + Cheese Manoushe: The vegetarian combination that never disappoints. The Veggie Pizza piles bell peppers, mushrooms, olives and corn on a tomato-sauce base. The Cheese Manoushe uses akkawi or halloumi, mild and milky, baked until the edges blister golden. Light, flavourful and satisfying — a combination that works as well for a weekday lunch as it does for a weekend family table.
Perfect for Family Gatherings
Here is the math that makes mixed combo orders genuinely practical for a family table. One large pizza feeds three to four people comfortably. Add four to six manakeesh alongside it and you have covered a table of eight to ten people — all at a price that does not require a second thought. A large Chicken Pizza plus six mixed manakeesh (zaatar, cheese, meat) at roughly 8 to each comes to around 80 to total. That is a full family spread — hot, freshly made, delivered to your door — for less than the cost of a single main course at a sit-down restaurant. The cultural dimension matters too. Pizza represents the modern, the international, the comfort food that the next generation grew up with. Manakeesh represent heritage, the smell of a Syrian furn on a Friday morning, the food that connects generations. When both sit on the same table, nobody has to compromise and the table itself becomes a bridge between tradition and today.
Office Orders Made Easy
The mixed order is not just a family dinner solution — it is the cleanest way to feed an office. A team of ten people with ten different food preferences used to mean ten separate decisions and a long wait. At Yalla Pizza, one message handles everything. A typical office order looks like this: two medium Pepperoni Pizzas, one large Four Seasons Pizza, six zaatar manakeesh, four meat manakeesh, ten karak teas. That single message — sent once to +971505587659 — covers the pizza lovers, the manakeesh traditionalists, the people who eat one slice and two flatbreads and the karak drinkers who only showed up for the tea. Everything arrives together, hot, in one delivery. Free delivery* for nearby areas, depending on your location and order value. No complicated app. Just WhatsApp.
Ordering a Mixed Combo at Yalla Pizza
Placing a mixed pizza and manakeesh order at Yalla Pizza is as simple as sending a single WhatsApp message. Open WhatsApp, tap the number +971505587659 and type your order in plain language — no special format required.

Our kitchen processes pizza and manakeesh orders simultaneously — the same team that stretches pizza dough also presses manakeesh dough. Both come out of the same oven, timed to arrive at your door together. You will receive a confirmation, a prep time estimate and a delivery update without having to chase anyone. We are open from 11 AM to 3 AM every day, which means mixed orders work for family lunches, office dinners, late-night gatherings and everything in between.
