Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, May 14, 2020. Americans Raj Dagstani and his teenage son Sebastian last year opened a pizza restaurant by the Abu Dhabi Port. The catch is, it’s only open one night a week - Thursdays. People line up for hours to get their pizza and when it’s gone, it’s gone - many leave empty-handed. The father-son due work flat out for several hours baking that pizza and all week prepping the ingredients and the dough. Victor Besa / The National Section: IF Reporter: Ann Marie McQueen
