The best restaurants serving Italian food in Rye Rother South East

Dropped in for lunch since we know the Simply Italian at Eastbourne and it's the same menu and style. Waitress was very charming and helpful but , dare I say it? , the pizza wasn't as good as Eastbourne, but still very good. My usual is marguerita plus pepperoni, and there was a more generous portion of pepperoni but the pizza was a bit 'wetter' underneath so I had to use a knife and fork. But still, love having fresh pizza out of the oven - you can't beat it.
