VIP Pizza Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Great food! Definitely returning

Amazing food, lovely people and great atmosphere. Highly recommend such a great address 👏

Amazing. Super delicious. Please reserve a table. Small but nice.

Such good pizza and massive too! Reasonably priced dinner in a lovely setting 10/10 recommend!!

Best pizza I've had since being in Italy, excellent service, excellent food - thank-you!

Huge delicious pizza's. I wish there was one near where I live!!

Definitely overrated. The food is decent, but nothing that would make me want to come back. Expected something more authentic and flavorful, but it was just… okay. What really put me off was the capucino arrive cold , the chipped plate my dish was served on and the dirty fork I got. Had to wave four times before a waiter finally noticed and brought me a clean one—service could use some serious improvement. On the bright side, the location is nicely decorated, with a cozy ambiance that gives off a real Italian vibe. If only the food and service matched the aesthetics!

Great meal, a bit loud for us oldies! But we had a great evening and waitress was great Thankyou

My wife said it's "it's the best pizza I've ever had". I'd say it sits at my top 5 pizzas of all time. Cheap too

Date: 16th February 2025 Cost: £85 for two After a weather-enforced cancellation of our New Year’s Day detox at Beach Box Spa, we re-booked for later in January and immediately afterwards resolved to go more regularly. The ‘Express 45’ had left us rejuvenated and tingling but we wanted more, so opted for the next available longer ‘Silent Sunday Reflection’. After two hours of cleansing ourselves of the impurities of the week in the wood-fired saunas and then the sea, undergoing gonging rituals of brushing birchwood swirling any psychological troubles in miniature aromatic tsunamis away and out through the chimney, we were a million miles from the stressful, noxious reality of our lives. What better way then to bring us back to normality than a pint with the metalheads killing time waiting to see Phil Campbell at the Concorde by getting into fights with each other and then going for a humongous pizza? Incredibly though, VIPizza didn’t leave us with any heavy-bellied feelings of regret, that we’d essentially (and expensively) detoxified for nothing. In fact, I’m tempted to claim that my hopes and dreams for our hotly-anticipated visit that Mich was asking about as we walked past on our way to the beach were met: to find a new go-to pizza place. Lofty ambitions. I liked it immediately. Every inch of space on the shelves that lined an entire wall-length of the domino-shaped ground floor was filled with huge wheels of cheese, bags of flour and pasta and Italian biscuits, oils and jars of artichokes and olives; Napoli football shirts and scarves jostled for space with blackboards, pithy signage and mini wooden wine holders on the opposite wall; strings of garlic and onions, lemons and dried sprigs of herbs were hanging from the ceiling; and over the happy chatter of the cosily squeezed-in punters - that lovely sound of people having a jolly nice time - were the barks instruction to each other - in Italian - from the staff. One of the wall signs proudly espoused the benefits of sourdough on one’s digestion and general constitution. Even so, I had my doubts as to whether that extended to eating a metric ton of the stuff - the pizzas really were enormous, the size of TVs from when I was growing up. I went for a diavola from the specials board, which was heavenly. The menu had been keen to point out the thought and pride that goes into each of the meals, with most of VIP’s products sourced directly from their own farms back in Naples, and it showed. Instead of buffalo mozzarella was fior de latte, topped with ’nduja, two types of sliced meat from their deli, fresh basil and my own slatherings of their delicious homemade chilli oil. The sourdough crust, so often left over when you’ve got so much else to eat, really was as light as they’d promised, and so fragrant as to be a highlight rather than a handle. I do have to say that Mich’s quattro stagioni wasn’t quite as delicious for whatever reason, despite having an identical base. Cowed by its size she ate the inside first and was proudly left - as if she’d just peeled an orange in one go - with a two foot long string of crust, which I gamely helped with. Like I say though: no regrets. There was even room for a tiramisu and we rounded off the authentic Italian experience with espresso and limoncello. Experience is probably the word: yes, incredibly good pizza (notwithstanding the entire non-pizza section on the menu that we dismissed), but VIP is so much more. As their website says, “remember, a pizza delivered will never be the same as one coming straight from our oven to your restaurant table”. Noted, VIP. In that case, we’ll have to come back.

Some of the best pizza I've had!

An absolute GEM of a place! Excellent service and staff and great prices. Don't miss it!

Some of the best pizza I have ever had, would 100% recommend.

Fantastic take out service. Pizza was absolutely delicious. Lovely people working here. When I return to Brighton, I am going to dine in (if I get in though :D) Highly recommended, probably the best pizza in a 50 mile radius!

Aside from the music, which was a bit too heavy, VIP is a surefire winner. The food is excellent value for money, the service is reliable and the location is essentially perfect. Booking solidly recommended.

Great pizzeria, real slice of home, Napoli. Locale is a bit small, so places are limited, but it's extremely well decorated and clean. With excellent quality food. Highly recommend. Edit: Been there several more times since the original post, and the food is still excellent. We hosted a birthday there, and the staff (Vittoria & Maria) were wonderful. Very helpful and eager to join. Including accepting the cake we had bought along and sprucing it up with lots more chocolate. 🤣 Truly a joy to eat at every time.

This has been one of our go to restaurant for some time now! Such a brilliant cosy little place tucked away in the busy streets of Brighton! Food has always been 10/10, and the service is impeccable (Vittoria has always been amazing whenever we go) if your feeling a lovely taste of Italian food when your down in Brighton VIP is a no brainer 🤩😋

Best pizza in Brighton (against stiff competition) in a very Italian, cosy, dog friendly venue. Can be crazy busy with slower service.

Food is divine. The staff are exceptional and very friendly. Service is very good. One of my favourite restaurants in Brighton. Plus, dog friendly which always scores high points from me

Truly the most delicious calzone I’ve ever had made my one day trip to Brighton. Very pleasant atmosphere and lovely to chat to the people working there.

The carbonara and pizza was so good <3333 I can’t wait to come back and try everything else :)

Wow. The best pizza for many years. Book or be disappointed

Great food and friendly service

If I could rate this restaurant higher I would. Lovely atmosphere and very professional and friendly staff - will certainly recommend

Best pizza in Brighton. LET’S GO! Pasta is best in class too. Just go already, ok? Get a table upstairs if you can.

Best pizzaria in brighton and Hove.

The best authentic pizza. Don’t miss this little joint. It’s small and charming and the food is amazing

Just popped in with the family for lunch. Oh wow! Our food was so beautiful and well presented. Our Children (12,11 and 6 years) were well catered to and we all had such a great experience here. If we are ever back this way we will be back.

The restaurant is pretty chill, the food was pretty great and the price was super nice. I recommend it highly

Absolutely! Here’s a glowing 5-star review for VIP Pizza: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently had the pleasure of dining at VIP Pizza, and I can confidently say it’s the best pizza experience I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met. Now, let’s talk about the pizza! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy on the inside. I tried their signature Margherita, and the fresh basil, homemade sauce, and quality mozzarella cheese were simply divine. Each bite was bursting with flavor! They also offer a fantastic variety of toppings and specialty pies, catering to every palate. I couldn’t resist trying one of their gourmet options, and it did not disappoint! The service was prompt, and I was amazed by how quickly my order arrived. It’s clear that VIP Pizza takes pride in both their food and customer service. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. If you’re in the area and looking for a pizza place that delivers on taste, ambiance, and service, look no further than VIP Pizza! I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu. Highly recommend! Only suggestion- they could expand a bit to accommodate more customers

victoria was very friendly and selma wants her snapchat and subeen thinks the waiter is very pretty and i (jenny) am cool

We need to write about our experience today as it was the best customer service. The food was delicious and so true to italian traditional food. The service was outstanding from Mattia it made our experience. Highly recommend!

Very Italian Indeed. We loved the Saltdean place, and this is just as good. Loads of choice, and all great.

The food was lovely and so was the service! Victoria was amazing!!

vittoria is amazing server she made our time here very special for my friends birthday thank you so much, the food as always was 10/10 love found here

Beatrice was amazing Really attentive food server Mattia was the perfect host Superb food and wine One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve visited We will be back

We found this place as always packed I had carbonara and partner had Margherita pizza. Both were nice. Large portions. But I disliked my carbonara. It's my favourite dish. And it's the first time I've had one where it was bitter. Narrowed it down to the gianciarle which I've never experienced as bitter. The Margherita pizza was good. But I prefer Pizzaface Margherita. Would try again. If but once more.

Was nice for 40 pounds dinner The waiters were busy so did not pay attention to us The pizza was not well prepared

The best pizza in the UK - never disappointed ❤️

Lovely, friendly Italian with amazing pizzas. Come hungry! Dog friendly

I had dinner with my girlfriend on valentines, incredible food, incredible atmosphere and the people were lovely. Thoroughly recommend!

Amazing pizza in an authentic italian restaurant. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Excellent little Italian restaurant, I only had a pizza but my friends had pizzas, carbonara and bolognaise. All looked great

Just delicious, and very accommodating

Visited recently with family. Party of 11. I lived in Italy some years ago and I have not tasted a pizza that came anywhere near authenticity before visiting VIP. This is a great place if you want the real deal. Buonissimo

the food here is really amazing, the staff are super friendly, and the actual restaurant has such a great feeling with really nice music too. definitely coming back here 🥰

The best pizza n Brighton, not doubting it!! 😋

I and 3 other Italian guys felt at home in this pizzeria. Delicious food and very kind staff, especially the Sicilian girl ♡ The pizza here is almost better than what you find in Italy.

Nice restaurant, great service and amazing food. Worth every penny, would recommend!

Lovely service, lovely food and lovely merch. Three years in Brighton and I wish I found this place sooner.

Wonderful tiny and independent restaurant- the atmosphere inside was so warm and friendly, our waiter Miguel was a delight. Food was delicious and so was the wine! There was a little counter you could get huge loafs of bread, and other cute italian snacks. Thankyou VIP pizza!

Needed somewhere warm to get a meal before catching a train. This was absolutely perfect! Good atmosphere, plenty of choice, friendly and quick service, fantastic food. We shared a pizza between us and still took some home (bag offered to us). Wish it were closer to us 😊. Oh, and great hot chocolate too)

Pizza was delicious - the pasta special was amazing! Waiting staff were excellent, friendly and polite!

Amazingly authentic Italian pizza, cool vibes and music. It's got a pleasant busy atmosphere. This is going to be my regular when I crave Italian food. 😀

Great little restaurant with a really cozy feel and amazing food. Not huge so be sure to book!!

We have been to this restaurant more than any other in Brighton, I think that says it all. The tables are close together but that creates a great atmosphere. The staff work really hard they are helpful and attentive. The pizza's are perfection on a board. Leave room for dessert.

Excellent gastronomic experience 💯 Recommended It's an inflatable in Brighton

Pizza here is very good. the only thing lacking is not being able to see what it looks like on the menu! No pictures, so you take a chance on what you are ordering, but seeing what others had ordered, you are definitely in for a good surprise ☺️ Ordering is a bit slow, I would like to say it is due to being a busy place??, in all, it is definitely worthwhile visiting Advance booking is recommended due to being very popular, but taking a chance like we did, can pay off

Margaritas were delicious 🤤Maria is so friendly and welcoming

Fantastic find that we stumbled across after seeing a huge queue outside! Delicious pizzas that taste just like you are in Italy. Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere!

The wine is good, but it could be an amazing house wine as in Italy. Other than that, I must confess the place caught me and I will be back many times! 😘

We really enjoy the company of our waitress Francesca , I can’t wait to be served from her again, we will be back xx

Top service, Francesca is amazing x

Cozy place , very tasty food , good prices !!

Love the cool, professional vibe

Favourite pizza place in Brighton, not looking to change any time soon

The pizzas were really good ass

The taste of John the Dog... Of all the pizzas I ate while living in Europe for 6 months, this is the 2nd place. 1st place is Naples. Have a margherita with beer haha. The staff are also very friendly.

The best pizza ever.. you must visit.. fantastic staff.. outstanding service.. delicious pizza..

Amazing food, so tasty Would definitely recommend to friends id family Good hospitality and good waiter

Special thanks to Mattia for being very friendly and who provided an excellent service. The food is just amazing with the exact Italian food you are expecting. Thank you

Very cosy, intimate Italian restaurant. Seating quite close to other tables but nice for the atmosphere. Food was amazing, I had the Parmigiana which was cooked to perfection. Extensive menu and not just pizza! Plenty of dishes for everyone.

We ate diovala and margarita pizza, price performance is very good, peroni is nice beer, thank you

What a great independent restaurant. Really good service, quality fresh food and a bustling atmosphere. We went in on the off chance on Saturday evening after it was recommended by friends. Well worth the visit, thoroughly enjoyable and great value

Super place , attentive and friendly service ... And great pizza .

What a location. I went for a traditional Pizza Parma and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, for sure. Service was superb.

I can’t speak highly enough about this restaurant it’s authentic the foods amazing the staff lovely just a must if you are in Brighton! My kids and I go every single time just the best!!!

We traveled to Brighton to spend the day and I had my eye on this pizzeria, we risked going direct because it was no longer allowing reservations that day. Luckily there was room for us! We were very hesitant about what to order, since the pizzas are HUGE! Carbonara and capricciosa. Be careful with this last one that has spicy salami, and it IS VERY STINGY!! And the anchovies make it very salty. You can't eat it whole :(. It is a very good option, the dough is delicious so we recommend it, since they have a lot of variety. Miguel's attention was excellent.

very nice food and lovely waitresses . Victtoria is the best

Sensational pizza! Friendly service

I can only agree. Airy, relaxed, delicious pizza from the stone oven at good prices. Absolutely recommended for everyone who likes real Italian pizza.

Delicious pizzas made with fresh ingredients. Great service too!

Amazing food Great service Terrific value….Authentic to the hilt!!!

warm cosy spot for food before an evening out, wonderful service, tasty pizza in a great portion size

Absolutely amazing! Service brilliant! Pizza lovely! Really nice people! Thank you! 🥰❤️

Lovely pizzas - Victoria and team were amazing, service was impeccable

Always so good here and dog is always welcome ! Just like being in little Italy over Christmas

Amazing atmosphere, perfect service from Vittoria and Miguel. Food was also nice

Nice place, food amazing, very friendly stuff, thanks to Vittoria for her help. Ivano hard worker makes proper Italian pizzas

Very nice place! Friendly staff! Vittoria is the best waitress ever! Tasteful starter, pizza was delicious. Had an amazing night

Had dinner for my brother's 30th. Best Pizza ever had in Sussex, our waitress Vittoria went above and beyond for us. Had the best time ever and we made the whole restaurant sing too! ( That's what us Italian do 😂). Definitely reccomend. Thank you.

I became a vip fan all because victoria

Great atmosphere, felt like a typical cosy Italian restaurant. Food was very good and generous portions. Thoroughly recommend and will return again

The best waiter Victoria❤️❤️❤️❤️

We're local, and always feel like we get a warm professional service. Even though the restaurant is popular with visitors. Stay small a personal guys. Miguel was a great waiter..

Can’t believe we’ve lived here for ver 20 years and not visited before. Best pizza outside of Italy!

Really a lovely restaurant with great service and the best food in Brighton.

Bad service and bad treatment, and they do not deal with customers well. I do not recommend visiting him. His words to us were very bad and racist!!!!

Very bad, bad service and treatment. All employees should be changed I don't recommend them at all Hope is very normal and they do not appreciate visitors unfortunately
