Rustico Lewes in Lewes - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a kids pizza party at rustico lewes & the staff were really friendly & accommodating . They were really patient helping the children & I would recommend it. It was great value for money.

Best authentic pizza ever had outside Italy, tastes Italian no other description, atmosphere and hospitality same thing, what great find!

A delicious meal. Great size, great deal, great service, great atmosphere !!

We ordered a takeaway and kindly sat inside while we waited..It felt comfortable and the staff were friendly..The Pizzas were still hot and fresh when we got back home.. Sadly quality of base, and toppings can only be described as an average meal..

How anyone could eat Domino's/Pizza Hut etc pizza when we have this in the town is beyond me! This is how pizza SHOULD be - perfectly cooked, fresh ingredients and at £10 each for selected flavours, it's also a great deal!

Great Pizza restaurant. Very good price. Quick service.

Amazing lunch sandwiches. Bread like a folded pizza base. Really good and affordable.

We’ve been ordering delicious takeaway pizza from Rustico for years, and have just hosted our 7 year old’s birthday party there. Children made their own fabulous mini pizzas with a wide variety of fresh toppings (even vegan cheese), under the guidance of lovely Shelley who is great with kids! We had the back section of the restaurant to ourselves, which was perfect. Plan to have an activity on hand in case there’s a bit of downtime…everyone had lots of fun! Thank you, Rustico! 🎉

Excellent Pizza! So many places to get pizza in Lewes these days, Rustico has to be the best.

Ordered uber delivery and they accepted. Waited 90 minutes but no delivery. Waste of time.

Delicious, fresh food and excellent service. An absolute must when you visit Lewes

Fantastic place with authentic Italian food! Bruno and his team was absolutely pleasant and professional. Highly recommend!

Wonderful pizza, quick and one of the best pizzas I have had in recent years

Decent, good value tasting pizzas.

One of the best pizza (or in my case calzone) experiences I've had anywhere in the world

Bravo! This is one of my favourite Italian Restaurants in the area. I love to take my client there for lunch and we both enjoy it very much. Wonderful, simple and original that’s the way. I have tried a variety of pasta dishes always with garlic bread. Guys thank you for the great service:)

We went for a meal there with 2 friends. The pizzas were the best any of us have had before. The deserts were also very good. We will certainly go there again.

Great pizzas….. Early afternoon and mid week. Very friendly service. Their pizza bases are just ‘the best’. Service of 10% was automatically added to the bill…..happy to pay but should not be added…only a group of five, so not a large party. Have also been to Rustico Bexhill……same quality.

This has become our regular lunch place in Lewes. The pizzas are truly excellent: fluffy wood-fired bases, tasty tomato sauce, and a huge variety of toppings so you can make up whatever you like. All of great quality, but not expensive. Good coffee, too. The staff, whom we've got to know (Shelley, Bruno, Marco), are all super-friendly and efficient. It's a comfortable place to come, and seems to work for all types.

I love this place… been a good while since I paid a visit . The pizzas and lasagne were great, sadly didn’t have time to get tucked into the wine list. Thanks Shelly for looking after us… 👍🏼

Really enjoyed our delicious pizza, service was fast, Shelley the waitress was amazing, super efficient and friendly, nothing was too much!! Thank you 😊

Couldn’t believe my eyes , I believed it to be the manageress, Utterly shocked by the lack of basic hygiene in complete view of customers, repetitively hacking her flemie cough in to her hands then grabbing handfuls of rocket & shoving them on top of the take away pizzas. Rank !!

Really good food and amazing service by Shelley for my husbands 40th birthday. Definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

The pizzas 🍕 are always spot on 👌

Another lovely evening at Rustico! This is such a special place, feels friendly and authentic and the pizzas are amazing. Thanks to Tom for great service. We will return...

Great pizza and served with a smile. We'll be back :)

We came to Rustico for an athlete’s supper the night before running the Brighton marathon. It didn’t disappoint. Efficient and friendly service, funky interior and good pizza. Very nice and tasty parmigiani de melanzane too…

Quick service (we came in at 12:30 on the bank holiday before it got a bit busier), lots of good options and the food was amazing! Fantastic pizza crust and good dips!!

I had seen this place a few times on my walks around Lewes and finally decided to pay a visit and have lunch and I'm glad I did. I was welcomed by Bruno who was very friendly and welcoming and it was great to be able to speak to him about Italy and the wonderful food it produces. I ordered a Margherita pizza with added mushrooms and artichokes and it was very nice. What I was also happy about was that it didn't taste like it had an abundance of salt which many pizzas tend to have. There was a salt cellar at the table so if I needed to add anymore I would have that option. I then ordered two cannoli (one pistachio and one chocolate) both were nice but as I am a chocaholic I have to say the chocolate one was the best! The food was very nice and the staff were great. As mentioned Bruno was great to talk to and it was nice to discuss Italy and Italian cuisine with him and he then introduced me to the chef, Marco, who was also a great guy and very friendly and I plan on somehow trying to convince him of teaching me how to make a pizza!

Treated to lunch here by my daughter, can’t really comment on atmosphere as we were the only 2 there early afternoon however the food was amazing (as was the price!) and, obviously,attentive service. Will certainly be visiting again as we can imagine a bustling atmosphere in the evening.

Came in for lunch with my daughter we was seated by lovely member of stuff taken out order we had a kids pasta and pizza food was really nice my daughter loved it all Shelley helped us a lot she honestly is amazing member of staff

Went out for a dinner date, friendly welcoming staff with a lovely atmosphere. I went for the pasta puttanesca and my date had the rustico. Food was outstanding and very affordable, would definitely eat here again.

Lunch with family (10 of us) food was great, and we all enjoyed it. 👍💖

Really lovely authentic Italian with very attentive and welcoming staff. Great value, and perfect for dinner for me and my partner.

Fantastic oven-fired pizza that holds its own against all contenders. Excellent base (including actually delicious gluten-free options) and a universe of toppings makes for a real knockout pie. Beats New York and Chicago by a nose. Great service and good attitude. Couldn’t recommend more.

Was cold and and soggy never ordering here again appalling 2 hours late

Hi there first I would like to thank uou for catering for my birthday on Sunday 21st Jan we had a fantastic time and afternoon I will definitely be coming back to you soon thanks from Paul richards

These pizzas are so nice the best pizza iv had in ages. 10 out of 10 the whole family loved it will be ordering again

Buonissima and really authentic pizza 🇮🇹🍕

Kids pizza making party for 9 handled really well. Would highly recommend

Excellent food, amazing service, great location.....just perfect

Probably the best pizza I ever had....the home made pesto on top of the pizza was just brilliant, service was exceptional and all the rest of the food was just delicious.....Will definitely be back for more!!!

We very much enjoyed our pizza! I had a vegetarian pizza with artichokes and it was excellent. Busy and bustling when we arrived on an Saturday evening, but the service was quick and the price is very reasonable. Pizza and the atmosphere felt authentic. My 6 year old daughter had bambino margherita and she finished it all, which is very rare!

Amazing service and delicious food, would definitely recommend, especially waitress Beth!

Came on a Saturday afternoon two weeks ago. Love the festive menu and new vegan items. Absolutely the best meal I have had recently in terms of quality, service and price. Good soup and crispy flatbread. The best vegan pizza in Brighton area. So much toppings and flavours! Amazing vegan pesto! Omg the vegan cheese cake is unreal! So creamy and fluffy!! Hard to tell it's vegan. One of the best I've had. The sweetness is just right as I don't like anything too sweet. Service was fast and everything came hot! The price is such a bargain for a quality meal like this! Really hard to find nowadays. I can't wait to come again! Please add more vegan options 🤗

Order never turned up disgraceful

Enjoyed a really lovely meal with a large group to celebrate the end of term. The staff looked after us extremely well and the food was great. It's good to see Rustico back on form.

I eat a lot of pizza. I’m a bit of an expert. This is the best Neapolitan pizza I’ve eaten outside of Italy. Perfect dough, simple, quality ingredients.

Really great pizza! We went for my son’s birthday and were really well looked after! We’ll definitely be back ☺️

Brilliant pizza and pasta. Yummy. Can't wait to return. Lunch deals look amazing.

Happy, vibey pizza & pasta restaurant with good tasty food. Some great deep fried bites. Quick service, so nice for a pre cinema or theatre meal. Funky decor, love the paper in the men’s loo.

Enjoyed a lovely inexpensive lunch of freshly made rusticotti & fries (him) and rusticotto (me) or giant panini with fries. All freshly cooked to order & with drinks came in at under£20. Didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day! Great friendly service. Would definitely recommend!

The Bruschetta was so good. Not that I didn't expect it but it was really damn good! Such a lovely home - dining feeling with a really friendly group of staff. Definitely coming again!

3 of my children have been to pizza making birthday parties at Rustico recently, and they've all loved them! My 5 year old twins keep telling me that they know how to make pizza now, and are so proud. One doesn't like pizza but she happily made it & was given.pasta to eat instead. My 8 year old told me all the details of making her pizza & was really happy with her accomplishment , and she loved the pizza. She felt quite grown.up! They've all had great times here with Shelley, I'd recommend a Rustico birthday party!!

Apalled that we had to wait over 2 hours for a delivery that still hasnt turned up. No answer to phone calls to the restaurant either

Been waiting an hour and a half for a pizza. It would literally take the same amount of time to go Italy and get a real rustico pizza. Also, called them and it went to the corniest automated voice message. The way the guy says "grazze" and "tchao" makes me want to choke on the non-existant pizza they still haven't delivered.

Called in for a light lunch and enjoyed a delicious bowl of soup and very friendly service. Thank you Bruno and good luck with your business

Very nice atmosphere, real italian authentic pizzas and other items (coffee & canolli!). Also, really not expensive. And a good selection of vegan options too!

Food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Service was very friendly and efficient. Despite being very quiet (early time plus early in the week so unsurprising that it was quiet) we felt very comfortable there because of the music and friendliness of the staff. Would definitely return if we find ourselves in Lewes again.

Great food, lovely place and very friendly staff!

The pizza from here is sooooo good! Really fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly every time. I’ve eaten from here numerous times, it’s my go to place when I really want a good authentic Italian pizza! Highly recommend. Good for deliveries too, use their app!

Lovely staff!!! The vibes are great love the decor really cosy vibes, will be back for certain, Grazie!

I recently moved to East Sussex and Rustico has become my favourite pizza place. In fact it is the first time I have even HAD a favourite pizza place! It's simple: the pizza is superb and the service is lovely warm, friendly helpful and fun. After the first time I went, I found myself looking forward to bringing other friends and family there and getting back there myself. HIGHLY recommended!

Great service even though busy. Love all the Rustico food. Calzonne was delicious.

Went in with the kids for Lunch on Monday and it was fantastic, the lady serving us couldn’t do enough for the kids and they had a brilliant time colouring in. Rustico Pizza and House Salad were exceptional. Going to make this a regular thing.

We are great fans of the Rustico Chain. We recommend a visit

Great pizza. Friendly staff. They also have outside tables.

the best pizza place in Lewes! They do amazing desserts 🧁

Went here tonight 4 of us , absolutely amazing food , THE best pizza I think I have ever had .... my husband had ravioli he said it was amazing, everyone said food was awesome quick service , fantastic price ..... please don't stop what your doing your an asset to lewes x

Great quality pizzas delivered on time by a friendly young man despite ATROCIOUS weather. Thank you very much ❤️

We loved the pizzas! Service was brilliant. They were so accommodating to our small children. We will be back!

Superb! Always so welcoming, and really reasonably priced. Looking forward to our next visit already

The atmosphere is perfect, not too loud not to quiet, food is filling and good price, better than the other pizza places, like ask Italian and pizza express

Went here on a Thursday night for a quick meal and it was just brilliant. The food came quickly and was of a very good standard. Certainly the best pizza place in lewes. Have been before and will definitely be coming more frequently. #plentyofpizza

Come here regularly. Always so welcoming and food is very authentic. Shelley has served us a few times and is wonderful. Always attentive and friendly. Vegan options!

Amazing food and very quick service. Caring and chatty staff would 100% recommend

Lovely place and food! We’ve been welcomed by Bruno very warmly and he made sure that was everything on point for us! Excellent service, will definitely come back :)

We were in the mood for a good pizza on Sunday lunch and some friends recommended Rustico. Fantastic place, great pizza, delicious baba and real Italian coffee. We were warmly welcomed by Bruno, who made us feel at home straight away and make sure we didn't miss anything. Great service! Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️

Totally useless delivery service.

Just shocking. Food was ordered at 7:26 and was eventually delivered at 9pm. Stone cold and when I called the restaurant they just told me wait. Will not be ordering again from these cow boys.

Pizzas were floppy and undercooked. May have been in the box too long also. Unpleasant.

First time here but enjoyed it and would return again

The food is delicious. A truly Neapolitan atmosphere :)

Got the food 26 minutes late and it was cold. I also ordered a coke but it did come with the food

Wooow and wooow again! We discovering Lewes and we found the Rustico nepolitan restaurant and pizzari. We love it! Bruno and his college were very kind, friendly! The atmosphere is absolutely beatiful inside and outside too! "A slice of Italy" in the Lewes centre! Absolutely we felt the Italian vibe! The pzza was very delicious and perfect! This napoly pizza was my best pizza i have ever eaten! (I'm the pizza lovers) The lasagne was perfect too! Very authentic taste and very delcious! The service was excellent! We will definitely come back again! (We live in Brighton, so it's easy to come here) Thank you guys! :)

Tasty food, friendly staff, interesting decor.

Have ordered takeaways a few times and eaten in once - consistently quality pizza and pasta for a reasonable price. Friendly staff too!

Prompt service and delicious food!

Had a family meal with eleven of us, great food and drink, attentive and friendly staff, it can get quite busy at times with both table and takeaway service. Good choice of dishes cooked to order. We had a great evening.

Wonderful night with old friends. The pizzas are lovely. Friendly service, even when it was crazy busy!

We just discovered this little Italian restaurant in Lewes the other day and as I fellow Italian I honestly felt at home. The decor was homely, the food was absolutely amazing, especially the bruschette were so GOOD 🙏🏻 I totally recommend it if you are looking for quality pizza and a proper Italian vibe in England 🤗 We'll definitely come back!

The best pizza ,love this place 😋

Very nice italian restaurant with finger-licking good food.

Love this place. Love the atmosphere, decor and the pizza’s fabulous

The restaurant forgot to deliver part of the order and a charmer called Gavin at Rustico couldn’t have been less helpful.

Friendly, delicious, fast, allergy aware and great value. Already looking forward to going back! Returned very recently and it was just as good as before. Really highly recommended

Excellent pizza restaurant with outdoor seating area and very reasonably priced pizzas, as the name suggests, rustic in style.

Lovely pizzas, order was ready as I walked in

Refused a table at 8.15pm despite opening hours showing they are open until 10pm and clearly still serving other people and had empty tables . I was visiting Lewes on business and wanted a table for one which they clearly did not want to accommodate. Had the same problem with the other Italian restaurant up the road five minutes earlier. Lewes is clearly not the place to go if you want an italian meal whilst travelling alone !

Really good pizza, nice quiet location and the people working here are great. Definitely be back again.
