Rustico Neapolitan (Brighton) in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Getting round to all of the Rustico restaurants and this one is very good! Friendly staff, lovely little place and really good pizza. Didn't need to wait long from sitting down to ordering and having our pizza served.

Insanely good taste (and value).

We had pizzas delivered and they arrived on time and hot. Tasted so fresh and delicious.

Always great. Never had A bad meal Always consistently fresh and flavorsome

Delivery was punctual, pizzas were great

It's really lovely to eat in rather than order on deliveroo/uber. Food is fresh well prepared and delicious. GF pizza base wonderful light. Paramagarno amazing. Will definitely be eating in again.

Usually not one to complain but live locally and always enjoyed this pizza . However, ordered two pizzas and some chips , chips never arrived and pizza was inedible as well as all the toppings, cheese and sauce falling off when picked up. When calling the restaurant to inform them of the issues ( suspecting that something had gone off due to the jarring difference in quality from past orders ) but was told all they could do was suggest we order another pizza at full price alongside delivery cost. Will not be coming here again as am sorely disappointed with both food quality and customer service. Was a previous favourite so this is a real shame.

Was on a school trip on the seafront with my best friend. I remembered that the food was so good at rustico so we walked for 45min up the hill to rustico just to get a pizza in the middle of summer. It was worth it.

Had a lovely meal, Harvey was great and really friendly and efficient Will come again

Every time I go it’s expensive but nisssssseeee

The pinnacle of carbohydrate indulgence

Lovely pizza and great service from Nikos...

Was in the bar next door and felt peckish. Pooped in and ordered whatever was on the top of the pizza menu. Lovely crispy thin pizza. Exactly as it should be . Cheap too, decent size pizza was £10 or thereabouts.

Friendly service and great food as always! Kids also loved the pizza and pasta they had. We parked on the street just round the corner.

Tasty. It was really tasty. Came we come back soon for another one. Request from one diner for the return of a seafood pizza (the rest of us disagree!)

Always busy & great delivery & collection. Made in minutes. Staff are very friendly and pizzas are very tasty! Very messy though because sometimes the toppings slide off as you pick it up! Would benefit from a wider variety of starters (there's a lot of dough based ones) but the ones we've tried have all been delicious!

Great local Pizzeria on Fiveways. Always busy! Super good value authentic pizza and pasta. The pizza dough is so good!

LADRI !!!!!! Never I will order from here!! Hello basically I did the order, they call me saying running out of something I ordered, and I ask for something 1.5 more expensive than what I ordered and they refused at the end I took something same price, Okey, until here fine, after 15 minutes they call me again they ran out of part of the dessert as well, and was 6.5 the dessert so I asked for another dessert which was 1.5 each so asked that dessert as Many times as the amount I paid for the one they runned out, and he said he can only offer to me 3 , and I said well 1.5 x 4 is 6 , he insisted no to me, when doesn't make sense at all as I paid more than what the want to give me, I hope to people to understand what kind of people works in there and run this place. The frustration is about time and comfort and they should offer, and obviously honestly as they didn't have with me, also is not my fault you don't have something you have in the app, so replace in a fair price at least but not!!! Very unfair place, never again!!

Friendly staff, beautiful food and very reasonably priced

Always are warm welcome and wonderful service.

Maybe my bad impression is that Arriving we were greeted with a sound of displeasure, it is true that the restaurant was empty, but there were still 40 minutes left before closing. I think if they didn't want to serve us it was easy to apologize and say they were no longer taking orders in the kitchen, I'm always looking for Italian restaurants as my boyfriend is Italian and it's really not what we expected.

rustico used to be our favourite. The last couple of orders received we have had to phone direct. Both times took an hour over the estimated time and felt, had we have not chased, they would have been longer. Quality and taste gone downhill too. The ingredients are not so authentic or fresh. Considering the cost of a pizza is more than competitors we would expect more. We will no longer use sadly.

Good pizza, just stick to the menu as each additional topping is £1.50. Very nice service. Will go back.

Great place for family with kids

Pizza was delicious but wasn't very hot.

Fantas5ic pizza place with a lovely atmosphere.

Best pizzas in Brighton.... love this place

Great food. Piping hot, great service.

Did not expect such excellent itallian food in the UK, I had a pizza and my wife had noodles and both we're absolutly delicous. You will have a hard time finding a better itallian restaurant.

The waiter was a delight! Unfortunately the coffee cup was not clean with distinct marks and leaks at usual points of contact. The salad was straight from the fridge with ice-cold tomatoes and one of the peppers was not fresh I suspect. I'm sorry to leave such a review.

Thank you Harvey for another lovely experience at Rustico Brighton. Always great service, great food, great value - we appreciate how you look after us and have time for a chat too, and a welcome for our doggie. The perfect neighbourhood pizza place! Also very happy that the new menu includes more main course salads, and a seafood pizza.

This was our first visit. Really delicious pizzas and starters, service was very friendly from Harvey. Highly recommended and a good alternative to the other Neapolitan options in town.

Good price, nice food, interior is pretty and staff were very friendly. Must come back to try the pasta!

Absolutely delicious pizza. Harvey was really helpful and gave us great service.

Amazingly good value and very tasty.

Had take away pizzas ordered in advance. Good food and service. Looked nice inside.

Good price, nice food, interior is pretty and staff were very friendly. Must come back to try the pasta!

When I eat there, I feel like I am in an Italian paradise. Thank you to Dorian and all of the staff members!

The service was great and Harvey made sure to help with all our allergies and changes! Fantastic service.

Great pizzas, very authentic. Lovely cold beer, good service, fair prices. Will Def use again.

We had a wonderful time and the food was excellent. A great restaurant for families and dog owners. Thank you to our lovely server Rebecca.

A very friendly restaurant with excellent pizzas. A brilliant addition to Fiveways. I've been coming to the Rustico's at Fiveways for several years now and we were there again this evening (16/6/23) and the quality was as good as ever. Our waitress Rebecca was very good and helpful. A great addition to a great pizzaria

Lovely experience with our server Rebecca and food was great as always.

So good. Good price and always hot. Order online direct from them, never wait long. The deep fried pizza dishes are also very nice. Lovely staff. Eating in is also lovely. Highly recommend

Smallish portions but very tasty. Bustling friendly atmosphere. Cafe feel about it all. Reasonable value (not good but not bad). Worth trying

Always reliable local pizza and more. Danniela was our server today and she was brilliant (food came quickly and was delicious)

Best pizza ever and came so quick

Friendly staff, fabulous food quirky decor.

Great pizza and good service. Nice family meal today and served by Callum who was v friendly and helpful.

Went on for Dinner last Sunday , and was welcomed by a lovely server called Daniella ! She sat me , gave me my menus , then after a couple of minutes I was ready to order , she returned, took my drink and food order.! The food arrived in good time and was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and the whole team were really professional! My server returned with my Dessert and coffee which with a grappa finished off the meal brilliantly! Well worth a visit and if you are lucky enough to be served by Daniella all the better !

Fantastic pizza and service! After initially placing my order for a collection, I headed to the Brighton branch at 5 ways to collect our pizzas only to be told that I’d placed the order in Hove🤦‍♂️ Harvey, Dani, Mo, Will and Josh didn’t hesitate to make our order again. Thank you once again👌

Really good pizza Great Pizza base.Good value wine with good service.

Love Rustico. Best pizzas in town, good prices, good service.

Solid Italian, good pizzas, rustic feel, great for families..

literally the best gluten free pizza i’ve ever had WOWZAS

Great service, delicious food, very fair prices

Why do I do this to myself. I usually end up in places where I ought to know better. You get what you pay for. Understaffed, overpriced, undercooked food...No wonder they have tables available when everyone else is booked.

Probably my favourite pizza in Brighton. We come here regularly. Quite quick if toy want a take out. Eating is in nice too but it can be very busy. Staff are very nice and friendly. Some tables outside available too.

Delicious food, best pizza we've had in a while. They did smaller portions for kids. I wanted less carbs after the indulgence of Christmas and they do a very nice pizza which is half the amount of dough with a side salad. Would definitely recommend

This place use to be great but it seems to have become a victim of it's own success. The last two times we've been the waits have been very long. Last time we waited 1 1/2 hours for our pizzas. Takeaways seem to take priority. If they can't look after the customers in the restaurant, they shouldn't really take so many takeaway orders. Also, if you order a starters, pizzas seem to go to the back of the queue so you'll be waiting much longer. Ask for starters to come with the mains. The food is very good though.

Great experience - very reasonable price, lovely food and good portions.

This is the best FU^&I£G pizza in Brighton period. If you are sleeping on Rustico then it is sleeping with your misses. wake up. 5 Stars All Day *****

Food came late as noted and pizza and garlic bread were cold. Man on the phone noted that “we do have other people ordering”, to which we completely agree as they are a restaurant and so, if they want to be considered successful, would indeed have multiple orders coming in for which they need to provide for… that’s how a restaurant and takeaway business works. Only positive was that the meatballs and pasta was good.

Good pizza, good service, will go here again. Thank you.

One of the best Italians I’ve been too. I had the pizza with chips on it here once ( can’t remember the name ) and it was pucker. Not a bad meal here once in the several times I’ve visited. It seems really popular and if your lucky enough to get a table on the decking in the summer it’s great to watch the world go by

Cheese is not for pizza taste so badly

Always a great meal. Simple Neapolitan fare and great service

Great Pizza place outside the City...parking a bit of a pain....but we'll worth the time taken...go visit...you'll not be disappointed

Very disappointing.... The portion size of lasagne was very small (not stated on menu) Rigatoni Puttanesca - rigatoni partially cooked. Giardino salad - dressing flavourless Altogether very uninspiring Won't be going back

Ate here for the first time on Sunday night, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the pizza was delicious, we will definitely eat here again.

Real deal local pizza joint - great for eat in or take out

Their Zucchini fries is very delicious but unfortunately it is taken out of the menu when I went there second time. Very Delicious pizza, pasta, Fritatina and croquette. Great customer service and atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit here twice. 10/10 for food and great service. Definitely a must place to visit.

The Rustico pizzas taste like authentic Italian pizzas, but the last time we visited Brighton a couple of weeks ago, we were disappointed to see that zucchini fritti had been removed from the menu. When we ordered them earlier in the year, they tasted delicious and were a reminder of wonderful Italian holidays. Please include zucchini fritti on your menu again!

one of the guys that works here has genius level memory bc he remembered my name and order on the second time i came here, and the visits were at least a week apart! excellent pizza too

Fantastic pasta in this spot!! If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a must stop IMO. Granted, I’m an American so what do I know lol

Great food and the staff were excellent. Dorian made us feel very welcome

I am not Italian, but I know when a pizza is first level. The dough is the key

Great Pizza, Great Staff. One of my favroite pizza places in brighton. Also one of the cheapest!

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and delicious pizza.

Amazing!! Ordered a takeaway pizza and it has got to be one of the best if not the best pizza I've ever had. I had like a vegetable one and the onions and mushrooms tasted so so fresh and it was overall just delicious! Only thing I would say is whilst the crust is delicious and stable dough, the rest of the pizza is very thin which is fine but it makes it difficult to pick the slices up so I would recommend using knife and fork perhaps.

Food was amazing - pizzas particularly. I shoved more Nutella on the stracetti things but only because I’m greedy.

Had to ring the restaurant after waiting over an hour for food. When it did arrive finally the delivery driver was rude and demanded i go outside to collect from the street even after stating i paid for delivery to the door AND was isolating. He refused. The chips had sugar on them and the nutella strips were undercooked

Great Lasagne and a reasonable house red too!

This is a great pizza place. I have had take away many times and eaten in just the once but I have never been left dissapointed apart from when they removed the seafood arancini ball from the menu. The pizza's are delicious and the nutella and pizza dough is incredible and is worth coming to Rustico for by itself!

50p for ONE BASIL LEAF! Pizza was great but I was just grumpy eating it because of the lack of basil for 50p

Delicious pizza, good wine and great service.

Just a great small intimate place.Good value nice staff. If you can speak German-Sehr Gemutlich!!

Lovely food, great service and a nice location for people watching.

lovely pizzas love coming here with my girlfriend for a treat!

First class. Best pizza have had in years... Better than Fatto a Mano; Pizza face; Franco Manca, the lot! Only VIP in central Brighton can compare... But none can on price, ambience and service. So reasonably priced, cannot recommend highly enough!

Cosy place, amazing service, friendly staff and very kind at the same time as professional. Best pizza ever.!!!!!!! recommended!

Good Italian cooking. Wood fired pizza. Low stress atmosphere with folding doors that open onto the street.

Delicious perfectly cooked pizza one of the best vegan pizzas I've had in Brighton will definitely visit again

Amazing pizza, great service and quick too!

Lovely local restaurant, no frills but great food and good value for money. Will be going again!

We ate here after arriving to Brighton for a flying visit. Great range of choices on the menu and some ability to cater for gluten free- however I believe the gluten free pizza base was a pre-bought one which was a bit of a shame. Still tasted good and we left feeling nice and full!

Really lovely food but horrendous experience with the delivery driver. Buzzed him in only for him to relentlessly ring my bell and shout at me that he “doesn’t go into buildings” I am heavily pregnant with three small children and he proceeded to throw my food on the floor and slam the doors. Very intimidating being so aggressive.

One of my favourite pizza in town, if not the one,. Friendly stuff and nice quiet location away from downtown
