Nanninella Neapolitan Gastronomy in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the best pizzas I've ever had in the UK. Both the dough and the toppings are authentic and super tasty. Absolutely recommended!

Best pizza in Brighton hands down! Lovely staff too. Give it a go!

Excellent food and service. Food was so fresh and tasty. Staff were so lovely.

Could eat the napolitana Pizza every day, soo delicious.

Edit: Changing review to 5 stars because they changed plates from cardboard to normal. Definitely the best pizza in Brighton. We visited again the other day and everything was perfect. Original review: Best pizza I’ve ever had. Giving four starts because the opening times are too late during the week and they served us pizza in cardboard plates when we had pizza in the restaurant which wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

Best pizza I’ve had since I was in Milan. Proper authentic Italian. Nice drinks and desserts too. Only thing I would nitpick on/change is the menu being all Italian-my dad struggled with this but overall we had a great time.

I've eaten a very good italian pizza with fresh ingredients. Professional waiters and very kind owner. I'm from Naples and sincerely pizza was very good...very recommended!

Underimpressed, considering this place had 4.9☆ reviews. Salad was meager, pizza had burnt edges and there was no spicy oil. The music was on the eclectic side and a tad loud, making it annoying. Next to me was sat a couple on a first or second date (they didn't know each other's jobs); firstly the guy told the woman what to order "because he was Italian" (she disagreed and changed the order), then the lady had to keep the conversation going the whole time I was there while he just sorta stared ahead, putting in the smallest amount of effort and asking zero questions. I realize this is unrelated, it just additionally pissed me off. The waiter was nice. I did not order dessert.

Absolutely amazing pizza, don't miss it!!

An hour of waiting from the moment we ordered. The service is so slow!

Best pizza in Brighton, they even delivered it to the pub for me. Introduced Nanninella to my kids and they are addicted. See you soon.

The pizza was good but should little bit bigger then it was ment to be the taste of the pizza was Amazing i defo go back there next time i go Brighton

The most welcoming, accommodating staff in the world.

It used to be my favourite pizza here in Brighton, it's a lovely place, lovely atmosphere and great staff. My last visit I was very disappointed to find out they don't do any vegan options anymore, so I ended up ordering a veggie option with no cheese, and was quite disappointed by it, unfortunately won't be returning and don't recommend any vegans to go. Was also a bit confused by the disposable plate, cups and cutlery, I'm sure there is an explanation behind it maybe but was also not too excited about that taking into consideration it is not necessary to use disposable things for each customer, and even trying to cut with a wooden knife was challenging to say the least. Overall, very disappointed by it, feel like they definitely lost a lot of their appeal and I won't be coming back, kudos to the staff for the amount of work they were doing and it definitely gave the feeling that they needed more staff as there was just one guy running around, always friendly and smiling though.

The pizza has nothing to envy of an excellent pizzeria in Italy. Absolutely recommended

Honestly up there as one of the best pizzas in Brighton. It was on my list to try for a while and once I tried I’ve been 5 times!! Best ever!

The most INCREDIBLE fresh sandwiches made with quality ingredients. Every time I’ve gone in the staff have been wonderful, feels like a step into Italy

Really amazing pizza with ingredients fresh and flavourful! The chef was brilliant! We ordered 2 initially and fell in love so we went for a 3rd one and all we wanted was something with pesto and the chef came up with the most delightful pizza with burrata, and sun-dried tomatoes. Oooff😍 Definitely recommend!!!! Thank you!!

Authentic pizza. Highly recommend!!

Small authentic Italian restaurant. Fresh homemade fried Rice balls, delicious. Staff and chef are friendly and helpful. Good quality sandwiches here, will try next time.

If you are looking for food with authenticity this is your place!!! I dined here before it turned into takeaway where I experienced the best Italian restaurant ive ever been to so when they changed to takeaway the standards were high. The sandwiches may have just topped the pizzas, absolutely delicious, you can taste the authenticity of the food as there literally nothing else like it!! Such generous portion sizes & fillings too. This is a must try!

Ordered a take-away through UberEats, I got a Tartufata pizza (truffle) and a frittatina, the pizza arrived barely warm, it was still very nice but no trace of truffle (it smells very strong so I should have definitely been able to detect it), the frittatina was really nice. These things don't come cheap, so I wasn't very happy about it being different than what I thought but I still enjoyed it.

Delicious takeaway pizza - super fast service and the staff were lovely. Authentically Italian. Definitely recommend!

This was the most delicious pizza i have evet eaten, probably. The Restaurant is really cozy, the chef was super nice. 11/10 experience, I'd recommend everyone pay them a visit

It was super delicious. Best Pizza! I found this restaurant by accident and I am happy about it. On my next trip to Brighton I will definitly eat there again.

Really solid pizza with authentic flavors. Bar seating only but it’s a cute place to get your pizza fix. Huge portions too!

Best pizza in Brighton! Staff are always welcoming and attentive. Lovely little spot.

Second review after the closure of dining-in and I must admit that I still love this place, the Deli is absolutely superb, the freshness of the ingredients and the combination of flavours just right, not to mention the arancini just delicious! Definitely highly recommended still

Had the pleasure of trying Nanninella for the first time and I couldn't be happier that I did! It's difficult to find quality sandwich place in Brighton and this is a must try. Ingredients are top quality and you get a lot of your buck! Will definitely be coming back for more sandwiches and to try the Pizza as well.

Nanninella is amazing!!! Haven’t stopped thinking about my sandwich since I ate it, I think honestly the best I’ve ever had. The couple that run it are so friendly, quality ingredients, reasonably priced and a lovely little shop too. I will be back!!!!

Best sandwich spot in Brighton. The quality of the ingredients sets it apart

Buonissimo! We tried the new panini (Italian for sandwich) and we absolutely loved them. They are not only generous in size but also superbly delicious, with only premium Italian ingredients (as Italian it would not be easy to find a sandwich as good as this anywhere in Italy). Price wise is also great for the quality you get. We will absolutely come back!

The subs and the pistachio cannoli are incredible.

If you haven’t tried. You NEED to try!!!! I have ordered their food with my partner 4 times this week over Uber eats, last night I decided to collect (and the team are soo friendly! Was worth the drive) we can’t stop ordering because we can’t resist the food!!! The taste is irresistible, the size is perfect, the temp on point and deserts are just oh my goodness too yummy.. thank you nanninella team, we love you! X

Amazing, delicious pizza. Cooked just right, not too soft or too crispy. Nice big size too. The tiramisu was perfect. Overall, loved the food.

Absolutely impressed with the freshness and deliciousness of the pizza in Brighton. A top-notch experience that left my taste buds delighted! Highly recommend. The truffle one was really delic

The best pizza I've ever had in England! Authentic style and amazing service! 😍 definitely recommend to those visiting Brighton!

Amazing food and excellent service! Will definitely be going back

Really good Italian pizza. One of the best in Brighton. Lots of different options of pizzas and the arancini is very good ( especially the truffle one!). The tomato sauce on the pizzas is full of flavour but didn't try the white sauce base. Restaurant has upstairs and downstairs but still good to book before as it did get busy. The lemon cocktail was great and I would recommend. As well as the melon shot. The staff are very friendly.

Best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had (I've had many), only wish there was a prosciutto pizza option

Lovely little Italian restaurant. Caught a late bite here on Tuesday with my mum and a pizza and glass of wine was just what was needed

The best pizza in the UK, no doubt. The scamorza was delicious too.

Excellent truly italian pizza. Great staff. Seaside. All perfect!

Best gluten-free pizza in Brighton :)

Possibly the best pizza place in the UK. One of the best I have had outside of Italy.

You will struggle to find a better pizza in Brighton, add the really friendly and helpful staff on top of that and you have a winner.

Best pizza in Brighton! The staff is very friendly, and the food is just amazing. Absolutely recommend

Fabulous Neapolitan style pizza - in my book the best in Brighton, and some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Service always good and the ambiance is decent - outside seating is lovely and the basement is OK if upstairs crowded…

Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, cool picture of Maradona…and the pizzas are absolutely superb! Well worth a visit.

The pizzas here are amazing. Definitely worth visiting!

If you want to try pizza, nanninella is for you.. The Pizza is really tasty and the stuff are really friendly & helpful.

Great cozy restaurant. Lovely staff, and the best pizza in Brighton.

I will forever stand by that Naninella is the best pizza in Brighton, even that I have ever eaten. I have taken countless friends here and will continue to recommend the restaurant as it’s never once let me down! We’ve just had delivery for the first time, not knowing they did it, and it stood that test too. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely and relaxed, with a family run feel. We consistently feel welcome here and the staff are so friendly towards us and our 18 month old son that we continue to eat in as much as possible. I can only recommend that anyone eat here as I know it will be your new favourite restaurant.

Not bad but pizza floppy and we were moved as table reserved but no sign indicating so and no one turned up.

Amazing place, real italian pizza, super quick and efficient service, loved it!!

Penso una delle migliori pizzerie di Brighton, difficile trovare una pizza così. Dal primo al dolce assolutamente tutto buono. Gli arancini al tartufo sono qualcosa di eccezzionale una cosa straordinaria. Sergio e tutto il suo staff sono veramente veramente bravi , bravi ragazzi continuate così. La prossima volta vi canterò Nessun Dorma :) . Ciao Sergio a presto un saluto da ALAN , LULU E THEODORE :)

Very accommodating since our group went from 9-15 and they happily arranged the tables to fit us all. The pizzas were truly amazing, as was the drinks, the desserts(we pretty much tried them all), and the waiters were super friendly and fun. I'll be back.

Welcome to the best pizza place in Brighton. You may realize it quite quickly when you walk in and all you hear is Italians speaking. Sometimes I travel all the way to Brighton just to have a bite of their pizza. Starters and other dishes are also excellent. If you are looking for the authentic Italian experience this is the place, no Dominos or Papa Jones.

Very tasty pizzas, fresh salads to accompany your pizza if wanted too.

The pizza is very tasty. Recommend 100%

Best pizza in town! Friendly staff too!

Amazing food and service! thanks guys, will come back and recommend to our friends!!!

Pizzas came fast. Absolutely yummy.

Ate upstairs, cute little restaurant, not much of a romantic vibe though. I asked for advice on my order and one of the waitresses said one had more of a 'smokey flavour'. I asked the next waitress about this and she didn't seem to know what I was talking about - more training on the menu might help. Went for a classic margherita and we shared fries. Both were absolutely delicious - the dough was amazing! Service was fast. I'd like to see the restaurant offer some different dips, pesto mayo or aioli or sriracha maybe - we only got sachets of mayo and ketchup.

Service seems 2 wait ages , food pricey staff attractive, dogs allowed??? Pizza bang on, nice tight seating. Mozzarella cheese and cherry vine tomatoes & rocket salad 🥗 😍so much will try at home 1 day & garlic infused Virgin olive oil 🛢️ favourite combination.😎pity menu could be in italiano & English for better understanding....

Delicious pizza. They have gluten free options. Great service.

The best pizza I ever had in my life. The service it was very friendly and professional. The food it was delicious,very tasty and fresh. I really, really recommend this restaurant. I can't compare this pizzeria with any pizzeria in Melbourne Australia where I live.

Amazing food really liked it .

Very friendly service, excellent pizza (in fact, one of the best I've ever had). We'll be back. The only downside was that the toilet was in the basement. So if you're a bit wobbly on your pins, it's worth knowing. But we'd definitely go back.

Best pizza we've had in the UK by far, probably indistinguishable from the best pizza we had in Naples. Great service and atmosphere, definitely returning.

For sure one of the best pizza places in Brighton for Neapolitan style pizza. It’s way better than the likes of Franco Manca. The dough was soft and fluffy and and the topping was flavourful. They get also a lot of Italien customers so this must show that the pizzas here are good. I never been to Napoli myself but I assume this place here serves fairly authentic Neapolitan style pizza. The only downside is that I have noticed pizza prices have been skyrocketing 😭

Vynikajuce jedlo vo vynikajucom prostredi.

Exceptional food and service, friendly staff, good food and good prices

Ottima cenetta e personale molto gentile

Excellent service and place is cosy. Some of the pizzas were a bit too... British. Good dough though and deserts

We have been here over ten times now and I can honestly say this is the best pizza I've had in Brighton and London! The crust is very chewy and flavoursome and all the pizzas we have tried so far are phenomenal. It's clean and tidy with a nice ambience (upstairs better than downstairs). Servers are friendly too. Thank you!

"A Slice of Naples Right Here at Home!" If you're a fan of authentic Neapolitan pizza, look no further than Nanninella Pizzeria Napoletana! The pizza served here is nothing short of an Italian masterpiece. You're immediately transported to the vibrant streets of Naples with every bite. Their pizzas boast a delectably crisp yet slightly chewy crust, thanks to the expertly handled dough and wood-fired oven. Each pizza is generously topped with the freshest ingredients, which blend together seamlessly to create a symphony of flavors. Their Margherita is a must-try - the simplicity of the tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves truly highlights the craftsmanship involved. The warm, rustic interiors and friendly staff add to the welcoming ambiance of Nanninella. From the moment you step in, you're treated like family. The open kitchen layout offers a fascinating glimpse into the pizza-making process, enhancing the overall dining experience. Furthermore, Nanninella's commitment to maintaining authenticity extends to their extensive Italian wine list and delightful desserts - the Tiramisu is a must-have! The online reservation system is straightforward and efficient, making it easy to plan a delightful meal ahead of time. Parking was hassle-free as well, which is always a bonus. In short, Nanninella Pizzeria Napoletana offers an extraordinary dining experience. It's not just a meal; it's a journey to the heart of Naples! Highly recommend to all pizza enthusiasts and those in search of a genuine Italian culinary adventure. A well-deserved five stars from me!

Literally some of the best pizza I've eaten in the UK, brings me right back to Italy ♥ and the staff are so friendly!!

Really nice cozy restaurant! The pizza is the best one I had out of Italy! The tiramisu was nice as well.

Very nice pizza freshly made. Felt like it arrived before I'd finished ordering, very fast. Evne though it was busy enough we had to sit downstairs! Would come again.

Nice location, good pizza. Reasonable prizes

Favourite pizza place in the UK! I actually felt a bit emotional eating here. I actually don't have enough praise for this place! Don't walk, run!

Very tasty and authentic Neapolitan pizza. The Mimosa pizza was incredible and tasted exactly the same as in Napoli. I recommend booking a table as the restaurant is small and fills up quickly.

Amazing pizza here. Excellent, professional and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Exceptional pizza and amazing staff!!!! We went yesterday night for my sister's birthday and it was truly amazing! Special thanks also to the waitress Vittoria, she was super nice!!!

Had an amazing dining experience at an authentic Italian restaurant. The Neapolitan pizza was just like the ones I had in Italy and even my picky girlfriend loved it. The downstairs area had a great vibe, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine and a wonderful dining experience. Easily best pizza in Brighton it's either this or Fato!

Oh my oh my… just finished two pizzas from here with my family. We’re visiting from London and couldn’t believe we’ve found proper Neapolitana pizza here of the highest quality. Great job from the team there… light, long-proofed dough for sure and great flavours in the centre. Will be back on our next visit to Brighton.

Great pizza and plenty of choices. Charging 60p for having a red base instead of a white is inappropriate.

Pretty good. Pizza was a bit watery though from too many toppings

The best pizza I’ve ever had and kind staff , It’s a gem of Brighton 💎🍕

Best pizza I've ever had, paired with amazing service!

Ottimi antipasti, pizze, primi.. servizio fantastico.. sono attenti e molto cordiali. Da ripetere

Sono italiano. Ascoltatemi, la faró breve: una pizza così buona si fatica a trovarla anche in Italia. Voi inglesi non ve la meritate! Si scherza ovviamente. Se ci fossero più stelle ne aggiungerei. Bravi.

Pizza was amazing. And, my wife had the gluten free pizza crust and it was the best she ever had! Went back for a second time 4 days later. Just as good. The capriciossa and the vivace were delicious.

Loved this pizza place, I'd definitely return 😋

Wow amazing pizzas, great price as well

I'll cut to the chase... Nanninella makes some of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. Their authentic Italian decor, really friendly staff and an open kitchen gives a real feeling that it's a real treat. My party all thoroughly enjoyed their pizzas while my Calzone was to die for! Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu! Don't forget to book a table as it's only a small restaurant.

Excellent service coupled with scrumptious food! It is a must-go for anyone seeking proper Italian pizza.

Oh wow how did we not know about this hidden gem sooner! The pizza is just delicious. A must for any pizza lover!

Just beautiful, authentic food. Absolutely lovely.
