Boasting smoked meatballs, garlic sourdough and some of the best vegan pizzas, Purezza is a great shout for catch-ups with friends or a quick lunch. Plus, they provide plenty of alternatives for those who are on a dairy-free or plant-based diet.
For a huge selection of pizzas at an affordable price, it has to be ASK Italian, found on Ship Street near the beachfront. Whether you're dining in the stylish two-storey restaurant or out in the sunny hidden garden, you can enjoy refreshing spritz cocktails and tasty slices.
Their toppings range from spicy prawn piccante to truffle and mushroom or burrata with slow-roasted tomato, with calzones available too.
It's not all about an amazing vinyl selection at Dead Wax Social, no, the restaurant also serves some of Brighton's most delicious pizza. It gets even better as they have regular 2-4-1 deals.
Pizza o'clock? You bet it is. Make your way to The Fitz Regent for some premium stonebaked slices. Whether you fancy sinking your teeth into a meat feast covered in succulent pulled pork or tasting its American hot with spicy pepperoni, this venue is bound to hit the spot.
The Lion & Lobster always has something wonderful up its sleeve: these guys take a very traditional approach to pizza, and boy does it taste good! Choose from a menu of homemade classic pizzas alongside a more bespoke offering, with the option to pair your doughy round with cheese, ham or jalapeno doughballs; delightful!
Sometimes, all you want is a good ol' pie, smothered in gooey cheese, topped with a load of tasty, fresh ingredients. And when that feeling hits? You head on over to Pizza Pilgrims to indulge in the saucy slices that they've become so famed form, as well as cocktails and beers.
Franco Manca is all about delicious sour dough pizza, made using fresh dough, a wood-fired oven and plenty of seasonal toppings. The Brighton branch is located in North Laine and also has an wide selection of craft beers and wines.
These guys are damn good at pizza. The speciality pizza oven sits proudly behind the bar, filled with all sorts of doughy goodness all day, every day. Grab a pizza for £5.95, or two for £8, Monday to Friday from midday until 5pm. It doesn't get much better than that.
Close to the station, this homely pub is bringing all sorts of charm to Brighton. Expect roaring fireplaces, live music nights, local ales, craft beer and, most importantly, a hot choice of pizza at The West Hill Tavern.
Al Duomo is a bit of a Brighton institution, set across five levels, the venue is in right next to the Brighton Pavilion. During the summer, sit outside and order one of their classic pizzas, or in the winter head to a top floor for an atmospheric lunch or cosy dinner.
