Nanninella Pizzeria in Brighton and Hove

We ended up eating here three days cause it was so good. The menue had something for everybody! My kids loved it!

It speaks volumes when your Italian restaurant is full of paying Italian customers. Food and service both exquisite, proper authentic, no fuss experience - loved it!

In the past (when we were Brightonians), we avoided Preston Street but that seems to have been an error. This little pizzeria served one of the best pizzas I've had in years (second only behind a place in Melbourne). We arrived quite late on a Sunday but the place was busy ... which was a good sign. They managed to find a table for two. Staff excellent, really friendly and, as mentioned, the pizzas were great. Wonderful base. We had the Truffle/Fungi (can't remember its name) and Alicella. Both superb. Wish we'd know about this place when we lived here.

Had a delightful meal at this lovely authentic Italian. The food was delicious, you have to try the truffle aranchi (so good) our mains, pizza and calzone were gorgeous. The pizza base was light, fresh, just how i like it. Lovely atmosphere and great wine! Would highly recommend.

Excellent everything! You should order the arancini (both types) to start your meal, the pizza never disappoints, and I strongly recommend you complete your meal with the tiramisu, it's Devine! The service is excellent as always.

Lived up to the hype. Lovely fresh, authentic Neopolitan pizza. Absolutely delicious dough, light, and fluffy. Definitely worth a visit!

"Waiting for the fantastic Champions League match between Milan and Inter, the best option was to try the pizza at Nanninella on Preston Street. Upstairs, there were no seats available, and we were sent downstairs to a table that was located in front of a table of Asians who didn't understand the appropriate way to start eating pizza. But the highlight was the waiter: during the order, he pronounced the word 'bruschetta' correctly. We praised him, shaking his hand, because it was difficult to find a British guy who could correctly pronounce Italian foods. The pizzas were very good, with soft dough and high-quality ingredients. Recommended for everyone who wants to eat a real Italian pizza, and not like the crap they serve at Pizza Hut!"

We decided to try nanninellas after a recommendation from a friend. We was so pleasantly surprised. It was easily the busiest restaurant down the road and there was a reason for it! We shared arancini balls and bruschetta starter which were both amazing! We both had a capricossa pizzas which were soo close to being the same as when we went to Italy it was unreal. My only slight little gripe is there are allot of white base pizzas, which for me I’m all about tomato base. But I would still recommend this to anyone! Ps . Service was also great!

As a group of friends from Surrey we have our annual summer day out in Brighton. The pubs and places of interest that we visit always change, but we always go back to Nanninella. The food is very good, and the staff are always great fun. We had another excellent meal last night. Somehow the pizza always tastes that bit better than anywhere else. Only slight gripe is that there is no coffee! (...not that that was a problem for me, with the wine, beer and grappa flowing!...)

I was in Brighton with a group of students and went there alone, during the lunch break.. great experience! Genuine Italian (Neapolitan) pizza and kind and friendly staff: quick service, reasonable price! Strongly recommended !!! ...besides, the right solution when you as Italian miss your comfort food:)

We paced ourselves and had olives arincini and then shared a pizza. It was just perfect! Their own chilli oil aaa amazing. We were downstairs which was a little warm but the chatter of other guests was lovely. The staff were really friendly.

If I was offered a final meal before I die, this would be it. Easily the best pizza I’ve ever had. The Vivace has so much flavor and is totally worth its price. The service was also great and is authentically Italian.

Exceptional food and hospitality best gluten free pizza and tiramisu and cannolo we came to Brighton today and wejust had the best time here Wow!

Excellent service and the food was incredible. A well deserved ten out of ten for this beautiful venue. We will be back for sure...

The best Pizza I have ever had in the UK and probably even when compared to pizza had in Italy. Food and staff excellent. Fantastic authentic Italian pizza which would be top of my places to visit when next in Brighton

Excellent, friendly service and once again delicious, fresh food. My favour Italian restaurant! Highly recommended (and it’s great value).

Best italian pizza in the UK! Everything perfect and super fresh. Thanks Sergio and thanks to all the staff.

The ONLY place you should come to if you are looking for the best pizza in the UK. I travel from London to come here! Incredible 10/10.

Had the most amazing pizza and one of my best ever in this little Italian gem. There was 5 of us and we agreed how lovely our pizza were. If you love amazing pizza at amazing price then go your self a favour and give...

This is quite possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had! As a Brighton and Hove local we are quite spoilt when it comes to Italian food! However the seasoning and cooked dough when it comes to this restaurant show why Italian food when done right...

I had a fantastic dining experience at Nanninella. The Neapolitan pizza was just like the ones I had in Italy; even my picky girlfriend loved it. The downstairs area had a great vibe, and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...

We booked a table as it’s quite popular. For starters I had the Frittatina napoletana which was so yum in a naughty way. My other half had the burrata with salad. Pizza here is really good, like proper! Definitely will go back.

Disappointed with the pizza dough, undercooked and stodgy. The toppings were very good. The young waitress who welcomed us was charming, but the boss lady was quite curt

Delicious pizzas Second time coming and the food is amazing, friendly staff. A place we Leto going back when we are in Brighton

I came to Brighton with my girlfriend for a weekend trip and we decided to give the place a try, after some web search. The website is very easy and user-friendly to interact with, booked a table without issues (they don't accept walk-ins from what...

Fantastic, delicious pizza! We popped in and we were lucky to get a table as a very small restaurant. Lovely, light, fresh, tasty margaritas and great service in an Italian intimate vibe. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely superb evening last night! First visit and it’s a superb find. All food is like fresh from the streets of Naples and the pizza is possibly the best I’ve tried in the UK (and I’ve tried a lot). Great wine offering...

It’s a small restaurant with a fairly simple interior. The pizzas, though, are absolutely outstanding; my wife said that her’s was the best she’d ever enjoyed. Very highly recommended. PS Booking is advisable!

Really excellent Neapolitan style pizza - perfect base and a great range of toppings, both creative and classic. Deserts looked fantastic too but we didn’t have room - another time. Also a great range of digestivo including a delicious pistachio liquor. Also really friendly service...

We visited with family and were given the warmest welcome . We had delicious meatball starters then we all had Neapolitan pizzas which were just fabulous . Highly recommended if you’re in Brighton !

Hands down best pizza in Brighton. They never disappoint. Everything just tastes so good and authentic, I’ll be coming back here forever.

We’ve been to Nanninella’s three times now. Never been disappointed! The pizzas are delicious - fast, fresh and hot. The pizzas bases are what sets Nanninella’s apart - doughy and very satisfying!

We visited in December and the food was so good. The staff were very pleasant and polite. Literally the best pizza, made with fresh ingredients. We will be back when in Brighton next 😊

Our pizzas were absolutely delicious, I will definitely be returning! If you are looking for the best pizzas in Brighton then this is the place to be.

Charming little pizzeria on Preston Street serving what is probably the best pizza I have ever eaten anywhere.

All you ever hear from bigots is that pizza in Italy is clear of anywhere else. As a native Italian, and from numerous experiences, I can tell you this is wildly inaccurate. Nanninella is perhaps one of the most outstanding purveyors of pizza ANYWHERE. Fresh...

Get quicker service getting a flight to Italy! This was a very disappointing visit, I had pre booked this for my weekend in Brighton as had read amazing reviews. I can’t fault the food as this was lovely, however the service was disgusting. When we...

Wow!!! Amazing pizza in a charming restaurant with friendly staff and all for a very reasonable price, we stumbled upon an absolute gem.

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...

Really friendly staff, and the most delicious pizza! Great option in Brighton if you want to give the chain restaurants a miss!

This was our second visit as a large group - 10 of us. Just as the first time - all of our food was superb, and the excellent staff helped to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Would recommend very highly, and will definitely visit...

We pre-booked and sat at a table upstairs, which was bright and airy. There was a great, friendly atmosphere, and we were excited to try the food when we realised everyone else sat eating in the restaurant was Italian. We ordered drinks which came quickly....

Nothing to rave about Ordered sparkling water given still. Not acceptable to add surcharge onto bill Should be customer discretion Felt rushed Had not even left our table waitress spraying table to clean. Very rude! Toilets dirty, nerf need a deep clean

Having booked in advance, we were disappointed to be taken to a table in the basement. Little has been done to render the space appealing. We also disliked the laminated menus and coloured glassware, and walked out. One of my best friends raves about Nanninella...

Thank goodness we stumbled across this gorgeous Italian restaurant. The food is absolutely divine, nothing is too much trouble (tweaks to the menu to accommodate preferences) oh my god the chef should win awards! We went back two consecutive nights and were lucky enough to...

Authentic Italian pizzas in Brighton. The best pizzas we had for a long time. Excellent appetizers. Downstairs room is very cozy. We will come back again!

Delicious pizzas, huge portions and lots of flavour. Thé tiramisu was also yummy! Authentic Napoli’s cuisine We will come back in our next visit to Brighton! Even the decoration of the restaurant is beautiful, the tiles are really colourful, apparently they come from the Almalfi...

Lovely restaurant with extremely welcoming staff. Very authentic and chilled creating the nicest atmosphere. There wasn’t a table on arrival despite booking but staff sorted it out for us and the pizza was definitely worth the wait!! Our main waitress chloe was so friendly and...

Me and my partner went in for a pizza. We hadn't been before but thought it looked really nice and had been meaning to visit. The pizza was the best in town! The base, the mozzarella, the vegetables, we both really enjoyed ourselves! The staff...

Delicious pizzas with quality ingredients, great starters and buzzing atmosphere - a hidden gem in Brighton. Will definitely be back!

Prob best pizza I’ve ever eaten ! Friendly and helpful service -light bases -fresh ingredients …well worth a visit.

It's probably one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten... and I have been living in Italy for one year. The place is clean and nice, the service is kind and the service times are more than reasonable. The food is delicious and all the...

Having walked all the way to Hove to find Marroccos shut 🤦‍♀️ we stumbled across Nanninella, a real gem with a fabulous menu, friendly service and fantastic food that was amazing value for money - thank you!

My Italian Partner and I went with very high expectations having heard plenty from other previous visitors. Overall the service was slow which we would not have minded if the pizza was exceptional. Unfortunately the pizza was cold in the middle when it arrived and...

We were very excited to attend the venue after reading the reviews. The pizza selection was extensive. We found the service to be poor especially from the two females who were starting into the abyss. The male waiter was alot more attentive. After taking our...

I'll admit I'm not one to leave reviews usually, but I couldn't not for Nanninella's. Food was served quickly, piping hot and tasted absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were also incredibly generous. Fantastic amount of gorgeous food at a reasonable price. Customer service was also very...

So delicious tasty real pizza! A great menu choices too. Highly recommended for a quick bite with hungry kids.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and I loved the tiramisu, nothing to fault! I can’t remember what pizza I got but it was so good I would’ve ordered two if I wasn’t so full

Met friends here for lunch, during a short break in Brighton. As an amateur garden pizzaiolo, I have been trying to perfect sough-dough pizzas in a woodfired oven; the dough at Nanninella, beats anything I have so far achieved. Authentic, simple ingredients, chosen purely for...

Service 5* Friendly service. Young easy going staff Food 5* Excellent pizza. Probably one of the best in Brighton. Lovely dough full of flavour and yummy crust. Also had some starters which were simple but fill of flavour Good value for money Place *5 Beautifully...

Just really good pizza. That's all, really. Along with the fact that they're incredibly good value, especially compared to some places round here. Nice people running it, too.

First time here and wasn't disappointed. The pizzas are fantastic, the flavour combinations were excellent and the toppings complimented well, we're talking a creamy butternut squash sauce instead of tomato on everything. Menu is extensive, but despite the size, everything was done very well. The...

Delicious pizza with a wonderful selection of toppings and specialty pizzas. The crust was amazing and cooked perfectly. Nice beer selection. Good service.

One of the best pizzas I have ever had and very good service! if your after an Italian in Brighton this is a must.5*

These pizzas are incredible!! I would also highly recommend the limoncello cocktails, delicious. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, it’s like being with Italian family. Also the prices are very good ! £30 each for pizzas, sides, lots of wine and cocktails!

This was the best pizza we have ever tasted - so authentic. The atmosphere in the restaurant was friendly, cosy and convivial. The staff were welcoming and the service was excellent. A real gem

An excellent variety of pizzas, and wonderful staff. You'll want to learn the word Basra, cause you'll need it. Caters to lactose intolerant dietary restrictions

I have recently become engaged with my lovely dining partner and to celebrate I invited two of our most esteemed confidants to dinner. I had heard good things about Nini and make a booking on a Friday night for a table of four. After a...

Awesome pizza made with beautiful ingredients. Fresh, simple and delicious. Probably the best pizza I’ve eaten. Friendly service, central location. The music being played was a suspect, was expecting something a bit more Italian. Aside some that could not fault this place. Definitely recommend

Booked this after reading the reviews before our weekend visit to Brighton and weren’t disappointed. From the outside, it doesn’t look much however the food was amazing. We both had pizzas, one being the calzone and they were amazing. The dough was light and not...

Went here as a group of 4 and the food was amazing. The pizzas were gorgeous and the staff were really friendly. Would recommend to anyone going to Brighton.

Was recommended this by a friend and it didn’t disappoint. Really delicious food and attentive service. Small intimate restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Couldn’t believe how great the Gluten free pizza was. It looked and tasted like a standard pizza! Really impressed!

I first visited this place last year with some friends and enjoyed the Diavola pizza very much. I ordered some pinot grigio to go with the pizza and think they serve one of the best wine I've had. It's not fizzy or acidic like most...

Loved the pizza, starters and Italian wine! Great customer service.. we sat with our dog inside. One of their bread starter with mozzarella and tomato’s was too good.

Sergio and Ben bang it out of the park! The food is incredible. You need to sell your chilli oil. Friendly, authentic and great service. Well done I will be back!

Came to Nanninella with my husband and two young children during our family trip to Brighton. The staff were all lovely and attentive and served us the best pizzas we've ever had. My 8 year old daughter even nearly demolished a whole adult margherita, it...

I came here with my partner as a friend gave us the heads up about this place. The food The staff The price Alll was brilliant. Would definitely recommend this and definitely will be coming back. Loved it.

Second visit and every bit as good as the first. The most fabulous pizza. Why would you go to a chain when this is so good. Book a table. You will not be disappointed. And the service is great as well.

I visited Nanninella last night with my wife and 2 kids for the first time and had a fantastic evening. The venue is small and every table was full so make sure you book. We were sat downstairs where the air con was on and...

The pizzas here were great and Nanninella’s has a well deserved reputation for them. We enjoyed some crispy Neapolitan street food starters - good to share with pizzas to follow - and two first rate pizzas baked to perfection washed down by the house Merlot...

Loved it!! The pizzas were superb, big and topped with quality ingredients (lots of them). They are definitely worth the value! Great staff, super friendly and a good environment. I 100% recommend!

Pizza is excellent. As good as the one I tasted in Naples. Very good starters and desserts are to die for. The pistachio tiramisu is the one I most recommend.
