Designed by Designsmith, Circle of Crust, situated in Dubai Hills Mall, is a tribute to the spirited American diner culture from the 90s. It invites people to savour the simple joys of life – a slice of pizza shared with loved ones, all within a fun and playful space.With the goal of conveying the eatery's essence to passersby, the clear glass facade was extended to provide a glimpse of the interior. The seating area is arranged to evoke the ambience of a garden, featuring petal-inspired folded lighting and planter beds. Wooden pizza trays and decorative light fixtures on the walls contribute to the welcoming environment.
The restaurant has a tasteful mix of lively colours and subtle patterns, ensuring its appeal to a wide range of customers. Design elements, such as the rolling pin wall at the entrance and the understated yet stylish black and white upholstery with grey and yellow chairs, have been thoughtfully incorporated to add charm and visual interest.
On the far side of the seating area, the restaurant has a drinks section and live pizza counters, providing an opportunity to grab a quick meal and a beverage upon entry. What's particularly noteworthy is the ceiling's curved design on one end, with black metal inlays that span from the wall to the ceiling. This architectural feature enhances the venue's exterior appeal, imparting a sense of magnificence.
Circle of Crust captures the heart of its concept – a homage to the American diner culture while seamlessly fitting into the modern Middle Eastern scene. Through its design, strategic lighting, and lively colours, it creates an atmosphere that is welcoming, vibrant, and reminiscent of an era cherished by many. With every bite and every joyful moment spent here, Circle of Crust revives the 90s spirit for a new generation.
