The hospitality of frankie and francesca is legendary. The fact they make the best pizza in the whole wide world to boot, is a phenomenal bonus. (Go for the tartufata...*chefs kiss)

The pizza is delicious, the prices are about 40-60% higher than usual. Friendly atmosphere and good service. I did not like the coffee - it is not tasty for an Italian cafe, the quality is very low and the price is overpriced for such coffee. And also a very small room.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant in Hastings! The sourdough pizza was absolutely delicious, with a perfectly crispy crust and super fresh, flavorful toppings. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the experience feel super personal—they genuinely care about their customers and it shows. Everyone was not only helpful but also funny and super nice, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, including in Italy! Lovely friendly couple who are completely dedicated to producing the best pizza’s possible. Went once with my sister and then had to bring my wife cos she saw the photos and was so jealous. Love it that well behaved dogs are welcome. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and for me, it was more than worth it.

Most incredible restaurant! I have been here many times now and always have the most amazing experience. When you walk in you will be greeted by lovely owners, Frankie and Francesca who are clearly both so passionate about what they do. Frankie can even educate you on all things sourdough! The service is amazing, the staff so attentive and kind, and the pizza… the best pizza I have ever had. The quality is incredible and consistent every time I go, and with the wide variety of unique pizzas, all created by Frankie, you’re spoilt for choice. I will be coming back ever week! Seriously a must visit when in Hastings, you won’t be disappointed!

Really exceptional pizza. The dough is made several days in advance, allowing it to mature with a bold flavour and reduce the gluten content. I often feel bad after a pizza due to a mild gluten intolerance, but this pizza gave me great pleasure when eating it and none of the dis-pleasure afterwards. Their cooking methods are not “traditional” - electric oven and blowtorch to finish (this helps to better control the cooking temperatures) but the result is exceptional. Maturing dough for so long reduces gluten content, making it very hard to stretch without tearing, so they have to very very gently stretch the pizza. None of that spinning it about your head nonsense! Expect to pay more than what you usually do for a pizza, but this is no ordinary pizza. Would it be Neapolitan sacrilege to say this is the best pizza I’ve ever had? Well, it is. And I’ve tried all the most famous places in Naples.

A lovely little establishment in the heart of Hastings Old Town. This is a gem of a place run by some lovely Italian people who obviously love what they do and they do it so well. Very warm, friendly and genuine. We both had the most delicious pizza’s, they were hand made and you could see them being cooked. The only thing was that I felt some items were on the expensive side. Having said that I totally understand business is hard right now, and we really enjoyed what we had, and the lovely interactions with the owners/staff.

I recently dined at Monellis during my work-break and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative pizzas, blending bold flavors and Spettacolare presentation. Yes, Spettacolare was also the name of my pizza in the picture. The attentive and knowledgeable staff (Frankie and Francesca) ensured that my meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations, ensuring my satisfaction and in a way made me feel like within family. Will surely be back with my half soon. I can’t recommend Monellis enough for a fantastic dining experience.

Be prepared to spend more here than the higher-end pizza resturants you'll find in most cities now (Rudy', Pizza Punks etc), but the pizza at Monellis is superb and beats the likes of Rudy's all round. Also, a great atmosphere within the little resturant, the owners and staff are very friendly. On the point of price and some of the less positive comments, particularly the drinks, in my mind you have to consider that the owners need to make most of their income during the spring and summer months, so for us it was a matter of buying into what is a unqiue experience and a holiday treat, which you are unlikely to find in many resturants in the area.

Visiting Monelli’s is like being on holiday in Italy. We’ve been coming to this fabulous pizza restaurant for five years, since it opened in our home town. The pizzas are delicious; made with sourdough and love, while the atmosphere is as friendly and welcoming on a mad-busy summer evening as it is on a gloomy winter lunchtime. Vegetarians as those who might be driving are well catered for. My favourite is the Crodino Spritz with a chilli in it. The coffee is specially blended and don’t forget to leave room for the delicious home-made ice-cream.

My time here started ok as it was clearly communicated there would be a wait of 40-45 minutes. We was happy to wait given the reviews on here which are typically very accurate. We had been waiting 35 minutes, the starter came which was ok at best, following this there was some tables which became vacant inside. It was still 45 minutes until closing time, as they had stopped accepting new guests due to the wait time for pizza. So we politely requested if we could move inside (given there was no reservations for these tables) it was becoming chilly outside with a coat and we wanted to enjoy the pizza in some relative warmth. We were declined by the young girl attending us, she pretty lacked a basic level of customer service levels. Her colleague (an older lady) sadly didn't help us sadly, as she was looking after other tables, that was a shame as it likely she may have turned the overall experience around. The pizza was average at best! The overall lack of emotional empathy from the people taking £50+ out of your hands for something so average really means this is a place i’d highly recommend avoiding. I don’t mind waiting if I know the food and/or the service is great but when it’s like this…!

Probably the best pizza I ever had in my entire life. It was like a symphony in my mouth; the toppings - which are of premium quality - contrasted or supplemented each other beautifully, and the (sour)dough - my goodness, the dough! - was incredible. All I can say is I left a clean plate (should you forgo to eat the golden brown, crispy yet tender crust of a pizza at Monellis, well... I'm sure there is a special place in hell for such crimes against such fine cuisine). It was so, so good that we went back two days later. The owner (and chef!) of the restaurant is also a very pleasurable host; talking about his love for great food with much gusto. Suffice to say this place comes highly recommended!

Leuk klein restaurantje. We zaten buiten op het terrasje, zodat we alle piraten konden zien langskomen in George Street. Nadat ik binnen besteld had, kwamen de drankjes al voordat ik binnen klaar was met bestellen. De pizza’s kwamen een ruim kwartier later. We hadden de volgende pizza’s besteld: Margherita Margherita met een extra topping (spicy sausage) Tartufata Carnazza Mijn zoontje van 8 was als eerste klaar met zijn pizza en verklaarde dat het de beste pizza ooit was. Zijn zusje van 6 kon haar pizza niet op krijgen, maar mijn zoontje wilde wel helpen en samen ging ook die pizza op. De speciale manier van deeg bereiden, maakte de pizza bijzonder smaakvol. Het enige minpuntje was dat de pizza’s misschien te groot waren. Dit kleine restaurant heeft geen toilet, houdt daar rekening mee!

I'd like to start my review of my visit by saying the pizza at Monellis was sublime and you could tell it had the highest quality ingredients. A lot of love and care goes into it, especially the sourdough which was one of the best I've ever had. We had decided to visit Monellis before visiting due to the promise of quality ingredients and the positive reviews, even if it was on the pricier end of the spectrum. Beyond this, our visit was soured by the odd policies and frosty reception from who I assume is the owner. Once seated and taking our order, we requested some tap water to which we were told if we just want tap water, they'd rather us just get a pizza to take away. It was a very hot day and we just wanted water. To end the awkwardness of this interaction I ordered a glass of wine. This is not the first impression you want of a restaurant. As I say, we were aware of the quality of the ingredients and cooking and the owner was using this point to justify the tap water point. We had always planned to eat in - we didn't want a take away. I therefore take exception to essentially being told they don't want our custom as a sit in customer if we're just having some water. Considering the cost of the pizzas we ordered was £60 + a service charge, I feel the argument being made by the owner could not justify this point. As I say, this three star review is purely based on my experience - fantastic food, odd service and policies. After leaving the restaurant, I noticed that any reviews which aren't five stars and glowing are met with, questionable, feedback from the owner. It appears the restaurant has a number of different policies - inside/outside seating, buggies etc. as well as ones I noticed on the menu about minimum food costs for purchasing a drink. Nothing on there about a minimum spend for tap water... The restaurant has a fantastic story about its authenticity and ingredients but appears to have more policies than the House of Commons. Forgive me for eavesdropping too but in a discussion with another guest the owner was talking about the importance of reviews and his interest in consumer behaviour. On the former, reviews are incredibly important, the positive, the 'constructive', and the negative. Most of the reviews that I've seen that received the snarky feedback I would put in the 'constructive' category - highlighting similar issues to what I experienced. For a business to be sustainable you have to be open to critique and should definitely not belittle those who provide feedback. On the latter - I work in advertising so am too interested in it. One of the things that consumers are though is irrational and unpredictable. You cannot expect someone to notice a number of notices and notes when visiting. Visiting a restaurant is welcoming someone into your kitchen and your house, in this case a very impressive one. I get the feeling that owner has all of these policies as they want to control the experience visitors have. You can't expect patrons to notice terms and conditions which seem unjustified and then not to have their visit soured, as we did. To conclude, I cannot fault Monellis on the food. The food is outstanding and if you visit you will receive fantastic, high quality Pugliese pizza. Nevertheless, I can't help but feel like our experience was tainted by the odd response to our tap water request. After subsequently realising that others have had similar experiences and that the owner is not receptive to critique it would not make me want to return. I anticipate that the owner will respond to my review, given its comprehensive nature and I hope that they will be able to acknowledge the critique I have provided and not descend into belittling or being told we are wrong. This restaurant deserves to do well given the quality of the food but to be sustainable you have to listen and acknowledge ALL feedback. The customer most definitely isn't always right but they can often provide insight on how to chase the perfection that owner clearly desires.

I am local and it's always nice to eat somewhere new . This place had a buzz around it all my friends have eaten here so I was excited to dine here I do like pizza and have sampled many mostly in Italy 🇮🇹 OK so the pizza is not cheap which is not an issue but what followed was for me . My friend was visiting from London so we went here on the off chance . The lady who works there was very welcoming engaging and polite . We sat outside we made our choice of pizza each and ordered in a bottle of house red wine for £28.00 This is lunchtime sunshine beautiful day in George Street. Out came the wine with two glasses and a little white paperbag . Inside was a serviette and a silly wooden knife and fork ? I mean come on you serve expensive pizza and expect me to eat it with these utensils ? I resorted to using my hands so hardly fine dining . I went inside to ask for some tap water as it was very hot out . The waitress brought out a prepared bottle of tap water and two paper cups . The water was not cold so I went in and asked for some ice , the male chef brought a cup of ice out put it on the table and told me we do not normally give ice with tap water ? I ask where is the service your also not allowed to have any sauces with your food . As a customer who dines around the world in some of the finest places , I will have what I want when I dine out therefor you will be pleased to know I will not be returning . As an adult I like to eat with proper cutlery. Wooden knives and forks are for 5 year old eating nuggets and chips . UPDATE I can see from your response to any feedback that your ego is more important than your customer service , very rude . My review is not mean it is honest and I would like to inform you I'm happy with all the choices I make in my life may it be good or bad restaurant wise or other. As a buisness owner it's important to listen to customer feedback . I've never dined at domino's so I can't tell you what it taste like or how good the service is , but of course I've eaten fish and chips I live by the sea ! And I do like a bit of salt, vinegar and ketchup on my chips I only like heinz though 🙂.

I absolutely loved my experience here and would come again! I was happy they had vegan options, and the food was beyond delicious. You can tell the owners were very passionate and knowledgeable about the food they served. I had the Contadina with vegan mozzarella, which was absolutely delicious, and my husband very much enjoyed the Sei Formaggi! We also enjoyed the sourdough garlic bread as a starter, it smelled (and tasted) amazing, served with really good quality olive oil 👌

This is the best pizza I have ever had. Even in Italy. The sauce is incredible. Made From Puglian tomatoes. The base is proper sourdough. Lovely staff and chef is really passionate. Very thankful to have this on my doorstep. Highly recommend. *Returned recently an hour before closing and we were turned away. The place was empty but the owners said they always close an hour earlier than advertised. Very annoying as you can’t book. For a place that only opens at the weekends it’s a tough call but I found this quite unreasonable and disappointing. I’m not sure how you are supposed to know this rule.

Monelli’s is a rare gem of a restaurant and a personal favourite! My family and I can’t stop coming back and have been visiting regularly since 2021 when we first stumbled upon it. The owners Frankie and Francesca have truly created a special place that feels so welcoming, cosy and relaxed - and hands down serves the best pizza I’ve ever had! Nothing beats authentic sourdough and it’s hard not to feel the love, passion and attention to detail that’s poured into this place and the incredible food they make. A lovingly nurtured 100 year old mother dough proves this no less! This is a culinary experience not to be missed if you appreciate exceptional pizza made with quality ingredients, tradition and soul. You’ll find a pizza menu like you’ve probably never seen it before and enjoy a little slice of authentic Italy with the wonderful atmosphere and friendliest people at Monelli's. Thank you as always for treating us to such a genuinely special restaurant experience!

Super friendly little spot in Hastings olds town. The pizza was delicious with a generous amount of toppings, they managed to accommodate 7 of us kindly reshuffling some tables to do so. The pizza was really good, as mentioned already a generous amount of toppings and cooked beautifully, I usually leave my crusts but they were polished off too. We chatted with the staff and they were attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back next time we are in Hastings.

I wanted to like this so much! Monelli’s is great and was so keen to try their new delivery offering. However the sandwich was not worth the price. I wouldn’t order again for the outrageous pricing and incorrect ingredient used. The meat in the sandwich was not porchetta but instead prosciutto/ Parma ham which I did not want, so it was a Gorgonzola sandwich for me, which wasn’t the best. Great ingredients for sure, but sadly can’t agree for nearly 20£ per torta :( Cannoli was small for 5£. I know

By far, the best pizza I have ever had. Fantastic atmosphere and the owners are amazing. As my wife put it. He is a Pizza God. And the desserts are sublime. Do not go anywhere else for a real Italian experience.

One of the best if not the best pizza I’ve had in the UK, accompanied with superb staff service. Would definitely return when around Hastings !! Oh and have a chat with the chef to know all about the magic behind it.

What a treat! The most delicious pizzas served by really friendly people who are passionate about what they do. This lovely restaurant is a real asset to Hastings old town. We felt really looked after, food came quickly and was amazing.

Small place, but well worth it. Friendly staff. Food was delicious, probably the best pizza I've ever eaten - and I've eaten pizza in Italy too! I Would recommend the meaty pizza - Carnazza! We will definitely be back again!

Really rude staff upon entry, no effort made to accommodate guests other than groups. Clearly more concerned about group bookings than others. Regardless of quality of food, customer service is poor

The food is always incredible and the owners are just the friendliest, loveliest people I think I’ve ever come across in a restaurant. They are always so welcoming and charming, I absolutely love this place.

This was 100% the best pizza I had in the UK if not ever. We have been recommended to visit this place by a lot of people so today we decided to walked in (as they don’t do bookings) and were immediately seated. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. Beautiful rustic and really on brand decor, intimate atmosphere with great subtle music choice, really friendly staff especially the owners - Frankie and Francesca and of course outstanding food! We had a garlic bread starter to share and that was THE BEST GARLIC BREAD I have ever had. Presentation was amazing as I never had it served in such a unique shape, perfect amount of garlic and the dough was unreal. Same sourdough was used for our pizza - just incredible. I added toppings on mine and Parma ham portion was delicious but also huge for what you pay. Definitely on a high end of prices for pizza but 100% worth every penny. Ingredients were fresh, tasty and of great value plus drinks were really fairly priced so at the end not too expensive at all. You can tell immediately how much Frankie loves his place and how much effort goes in. This was our first date night since we moved to Hastings and I’m so incredibly happy we visited Monellis. This place is truly Hasting’s Gem !

Monellis pizza is not to be missed when in Hastings. We found it simply by googling some local restaurants as we were looking to eat somewhere. What a gem with authentic Puglia's flavours. Pizza is one of the best we ate in the UK. The varieties of flavours and toppings are so different.with ingredients from Puglia. The dessers were equally delicious, home made ice creams and delicious ricotta cream coffee. Frankie and Francesca are the nicest owners and super friendly hosts. Everything they do you can feel passion for their business and pride of serving high quality food. We will definitely be back when visiting the seaside, you just made it to my favourite places to go back to. We thank you for a wonderful experience we had today at your restaurant.

The owners were so welcoming when you enter and gave the best recommendation. You can really tell they love what they do and are well versed in the craft of pizza making alongside hospitality. The pizza they recommended to me had truffle, artichoke, mushrooms and rocket perfectly placed by the chef with tweezers and was delicious. Any time I come to Hastings I will be visiting and cannot wait till they open up in London hopefully!

Such friendly, enthusiastic staff who made our meal feel special and accommodated our needs. The pizza dough was authentic, only minor criticism would be that the vegan cheese was too liquid/oily to my liking. However would recommend this place for the fresh pizza dough and traditional, inviting atmosphere

So pleased we found this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely. We shared a selection of starters - garlic breads, olives and bruschetta. Our mains were a variety of pasta and pizza dishes. A few desserts too - the tiramisu was particularly popular. The house wine was good and the whole meal was great value. We will definitely be back

Easily the best pizza in England. A well overdue review (by a year) after comparing various pizza restaurants we have encountered across England. The owners are young and energetic about what goes on the plate, the price point is just right so the pizza makes you feel like you are getting way more than then the ingredients and the effort, and the pizza itself is fantastic. Proper fired pizza that’s simple and tasty, with a tomato sauce that has been cooked up and seasoned well. Worth an overnight hotel and Hastings stop just to sit back and enjoy.
