VIP Pizza in Brighton and Hove

Wonderful, relaxing, convenient and the food is first class

Very tasty meal as always Great service too Thank you we will back very soon

Absolutely lovely place! Found it by chance. But will be frequenting from now on. Delicious Italian food, freshly prepared, great choice of drinks, clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options, the staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. We went lunchtime on Saturday. It filled up really quickly, so I would guess that weekends and evenings you should book in advance so you don't get disappointed. Highly recommended to all Italian foodies when around 👌🏻

Nice people and the food amazing!!! Truly Italian pizza!!!

Great restaurant and food, experience was good. I would like to thank Gaetano, our server for the friendly service and Adriana for her ‘digestive’ drink recommendation from the Menu, which helped a lot after I’d eaten too much pizza and garlic bread!

Amazing pizza in a great venue with super friendly staff

Lovely place, great food! Will definitely be back!

We moved into the area a week ago and have been to this restaurant twice. The staff are all friendly and attentive. I am not a pizza lover but on both occasions I ate pizza. They are fantastic, a thin base covered in fresh toppings. The pizzas are large but you must leave room for the desserts.

Are you by the sea side and need a place for a meal? Then this is the place. We had a lovely dinner and the service was perfect!! 🤌

Love this little gem - been coming here for years! The best pizza, lovely staff and a guaranteed great evening out! Highly recommend!

Excellent products! Porcini mushrooms among my favourite toppings for a pizza

Great place, I just love the food. I remember going there as a kid before my swimming lessons and eating a nice slice of pizza. This place is really good and I would recommend it

Staff rude over the phone. Owner didn’t let me change the delivery address despite spending 70 quid on 3 pizzas. Pizzas were good but the place is lacking customer focussed mindset.

Excellent service, and superior customer service

Even though it's quite small, we were given the back room for a small party. Decor feels rustic Italian and the pizza was great. Had a spicy one and it hit the spot. Kinda wish I had not added extra chilly oil as it made it very hot! Will definitely go back one day. Prices were also fair.

This place is a hidden gem - really authentic Italian - extensive menu, lovely deli environment, good service. It was getting super busy from 5pm on a Thursday which was good to see. Will definitely be back!

Great restaurant, lovely staff, amazing food, job done 👍

Very tasty and fresh food. Atmosphere is very good and comforting. Service is friendly.

Very nice place with perfect food. Food delivery is quick which you don't need to wait too long. Overall very good just kids meal only main without drink.

The very authentic Italian food in town. We felt in Italy indeed

What a little gem of a find.. better then, maim stream venues . If you fancy a real sourdough pizza, this is for you! Don't forget the olive oil 🥰

Truly the best Italian place I’ve been to in the UK! Perfect pizza and parmigiano! They have chinotto too. Immaculate service as well.

Ordered via deliveroo quick, great food still nice and hot. They always have gorgeous tasty food and as expected it didn't disappoint. I lovely treat for the family on a Saturday.

Honestly the best pizza I have ever had in the UK. 10/10

Ordered from here many times over the years but collected for the first time tonight. Pizzas are always tasty and made with good quality ingredients. Service is very quick and pizzas were ready in less than 20 mins from ordering. The restaurants themselves also have a wonderful atmosphere and vibe

Stumbled across this gem. Incredible pizza and the calamari was divine. We will definitely be back to dine in for the full experience.

I really wanted to like this place as it had a nice atmosphere, there seemed to be Italian people eating there and the interior looks like an Italian deli. However, it was very disappointing. Service was very slow, it took about 20 minutes before my drinks order was taken. Then I had a long conversation with the waitress about the smoked cheese starter. In the end I decided to order it, with Meatballs and pasta to follow. After a further long wait, during which other tables that had arrived after me were served their food, the waitress appeared with my pasta and meatballs. She had left the cheese starter in an oven to heat but then forgotten about them. So no starter. The pasta and meatballs were only average, I couldn't recommend them.

I accidentally ordered a pizza from the Brighton restaurant, thinking it was Saltdean's, and they were so kind about it. They made the same pizza for me, even though it's not on their menu. Exceptional customer service, great pizza and excellent value - would highly recommend!

Excellent authentic pizza and pasta. Bigger and more relaxed than its Brighton counterpart. Child friendly.

Great pizza. Lovely decor. Will definitely be trying their Brighton restaurant soon.

Dined here 31st May 2024. Ambiance nice. Great menu. Value for money. Food we ordered was really lovely but two of the pasta dishes were slightly on the tepid side. Our sides had been forgotten, I think, but once we questioned they were quick to rectify. What our group of 4 all found a little lacking was attentive service that you'd expect in a busy restaurant, serving really great food. No one checked in with us. We had to ask to order more drinks and plates were taken whilst one of our diners was still eating. Just a bit odd - maybe they had team members unexpectedly off but something for them to certainly consider.

We had a great meal here on a Sunday evening. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and very good pizzas!

I didn't move to Saltdean because of VIP Pizza, but if I'd known about it, I might have done. You won't find better pizza, or atmosphere inside a local, family-run restaurant. Don't forget to try a meloncello. And the freshest Peroni on tap.

Excellent pizza. Literally travel to come and get a proper sourdough pizza with true neopolitan ingredients. Atmosphere is like being on an Italian driving tour and arriving at a mountainside trattoria. Been coming for years and look forward to coming for more.

A jewel on the heart of West Saltdean. Lovely staff, great food and a relaxed atmosphere makes for a totally enjoyable evening

Very good food and service. Typical Italian atmosphere, really worth a visit

Victoria our waitresses was attentive and pleasant. Food was good and will come back again.

Lovely food,atmosphere and staff. Would always recommend. Thank you to Victoria for the lovely evening.

Since we were full, we only tasted antipasti and tiramisu. However, both were fantastic and you won't taste such tiramisu anywhere in England 🤤. The real great taste of Italy. 100% recommended! ❤️

🇮🇹 🍕 🍷 The decoration is amazing, with carefully selected items that enhance the overall ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The menu offers a great selection of food and beverages. The pizza was exceptionally tasty! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again. 🎉💯

It was very delicious and the service was amazing!!

A lovely evening and excellent pizza

Great food and service. Victoria was amazing! X

We had a very lovely meal with fantastic service. Our waitress Victoria was very polite and helpful, very willing to answer any questions!

Have been going to VIP for years now and never been disappointed, great atmosphere and decor throughout with amazing tasting food. We were served by Vicky today and she was extremely friendly, pleasant and made it a great meal for us. Value for money is there with large portion sizes and great quality ingredients.Will 100% be back in the future and recommend this restaurant to anyone 👍

Always great food, and friendly service

Amazing service and amazing food!

Amazing service, the waitress Victoria she’s very good. The food is delicious.

Celebrating my mate’s birthday!! Victoria’s service was incredible, friendly and knowledgeable, great recommendations. The antipasti was out of this world, my Parma pizza was so good! Birthday boy was happy and so was everyone else. Highly recommend. Superb!

We have been to VIP in Saltdean many times, particularly on Sunday evenings and we can get there on the 27 bus and so enjoy a bottle of red wine. The staff are lovely and there is a good choice of food. My husband likes pizza but I am not keen so have pasta or one of the meat choices. Very happy to recommend it.

I came with my family and I had a great time. VIP have great food. And Victoria was just superb as well as benedetto. Grazie mille

Victoria our waitress tonight was lovely , so lovely to have such a lovely young lady serve us for our family dinner

I had the best time ever Victoria was excellent, other than that Very Italian Pizza served me well always very polite and proficient with there excellent service and fun vibes I would definitely recommend everyone to experience VIP.

Our pizza were not passed through to the kitchen but the waitress (Maria?) apologized and resolved the issue using her own initiative.

Victoria was the perfect waitress; helpful, funny and knowledgeable of the food and wine. Highly recommend

Great pizza in a cozy small pizzeria

great restaurant highly recommend

excellent service, excellent pizzas, true Italian flavor

Never disappoints always lovely food great service

I was down in Brighton for the marathon and ate here the night before. I ordered the ragù off the specials board and it was amazing. My nana was Italian and I remember her cooking well. I tell my 8 year old son that while my mum (his nana) makes better sauce than me, my nana (his great nana) made the best sauce. She died when I was a teenager so it’s been over 20 years since I ate her sauce, but the first bite of the ragù tasted just like hers and brought back some amazing memories of the foods she used to cook. I would fully recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian food, this is as authentic as you can get outside of Italy itself. I wish I didn’t live over 100 miles away else I’d be eating here every week. 10/10 would recommend to all. Staff were lovely and it’s a cosy little restaurant that has all the feel of a family run establishment. The prices were really reasonable as well, great value for money. Don’t miss out if your in Brighton!!

Had an amazing experience. Food was wonderful, we had Feliz as a waiter and he exceeded our expectations. Do recommend!!

Love VIP and have eaten in many times and have had lots of takeaways. Great food and atmosphere, a piece of Italy in Saltdean. With all this said out last visit was sadly let down by the service. Inattentive, unfriendly & missing items. Shame as we have lost count how many times we have recommended this to friends, family, air BnB guests and students that stay with us. Feeling let down .

Best pizza ever. Not even lying. It’s a 5 hour trek for us but would come back weekly for it

Food service reminded me of sitting up in the mountains in Italy we will be back for sure

An excellent authentic Italian restaurant. Arrived at 5pm at which point is was not busy but within an hour most tables where taken. The food is keenly priced service spot on, being out of the town in a small row of shops its secluded and very personal. This was our first visit and would for sure be back soon.

Grazie was our waitress and she was phenomenal. Service was quick and on the go. Food was excellent and really exaggerated the “very Italian” part, the restaurant itself was decorated nicely. Would recommend coming here with your partner.

The food was phenomenal! We ordered 2 pizzas and the gnocchi.. pizzas were cooked to perfection and the toppings were amazing, the gnocchi and Carne sauce were the best I’ve had, including my trips to Italy! Service was great even though it was busy. The venue was very lively when we were there on Thursday evening, we were sat downstairs and it was very noisy, this doesn’t bother me but you may want to consider this if this is an issue for you. One Tiny point for consideration, the lighting could be a bit lower downstairs for a cosier atmosphere but I will definitely be back again when next in Brighton!!

Victoria was fab, the rest of the staff were fantastic as well :)

In the mood for pizza, then this is a must if you live in or near Saltdean. Large selection, including vegetarian and the classics.

We always love it here. Great food. Great music. Great atmosphere. Great service. So lucky to have this here in Saltdean

Had a great pizza here last night. Staff were polite and very attentive. Would recommend to anyone who are looking to go there. 🍕

This restaurant is very good for these things: Food, Service, Atmosphere. The food was very nice and made properly and tasted amazing. The service was very good and very helpful. The atmosphere is very good as it is a shop and a restaurant which is decorated very nicely. Will come again and recommend to everyone.

Always love the pizza here. Dining in is a cozy and warm Italian experience, but takeaway and delivery are also available.

We had been past VIP Pizza many times but never been in. Well it was well worth the wait, firstly i would recommend that you book so your not disappointed that you can't get a table. On arrival the staff were friendly and very helpful, and not once were did we feel pressured to place our order. The menu is quite extensive and if your a pizza lover then you have enough options to keep you busy, plus the selection of pasta dishes will make your mouth water. We never had one but the sea food dishes looked amazing The food we ordered was really good, and you could see that it was freshly cooked. Over all we had a three course meal, bottle of wine and a couple of beers and the bill was very competitive, and for the first time in a long while a service charge was not automatically added to the bill, we had to ask if we could leave at tip. A nice touch not to have it just added as a matter of course. As a result of our experience and the food we had we will defiantly be returning, my only hope is that the staff remain as they were, friendly and attentive going forward. We have been to other places which had fantastic service the first time, but then when going back the second time the service was terrible. So a big thank you to the VIP team and we look forward to seeing you again soon :)

A fantastic authentic feeling Italian food experience. Try the pollo pizza if you fancy a Sunday roast on a pizza!

Fabulous restaurant, delicious food and first class waiting staff. Thank you. We will be back very soon

First time eating inside, food was delicious and our waitress Victoria was lovely!

Victoria was great, did a great job. Food was great as always. Love VIP

Amazing place to eat, staff were amazing especially Victoria who smiled all through our & even made our dog very welcome! 😊

Lovely place Victoria was a great waitress

Food is excellent, tiramisu awesome !!! Wine delicious!!!

I have been coming to VIP for many years, food is always on point, service is very good and I cant thank Adriana enough! She looks after us to perfection and always got a smile on her face!

Found the management rude and contentious

I mean , its vip pizza ? It doesn’t need reviewing does it ? Everything here is spot on , great food and staff . I prefer this branch than the Brighton one , a little more quieter and relaxed . Cant go wrong with this place . Keep up the good work . See you soon .

Pizza is out of this world.... you certainly feel like you are in Italy when visiting VIP 😀

Beautiful food and such friendly staff .

Seafood pasta 🍝 and vegan Florentina pizza 🍕 delicious

Always good food and today was no exception - always a lovely friendly welcome and great service - THE best restaurant and definitely our favourite

I tried pizza affettata and one with anchovies , unfortunately I been disappointed by both, as I found quality of ingredients poor (il visit again to try something more basic as I heard many good reviews) . Otherwise I enjoy the fried seafood ( Misto delmar!?) and service/staff been excellent.

Smashing local place. So family orientated. You can even bring the dog. I love it

Very nice pizza, friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices

Very nice place and good pizza, service was good too. Music too loud but, in fairness I didn't ask them to turn it down. I'd definitely go back
