We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.

The Ivy in the Lanes is a blast! Reviewers rave about the 'fabulous food' and 'imaginative' menu, which is 'nicely presented' and 'always delicious'. It's not just about the grub though, the ambiance is a major hit, with one customer saying it's like 'going to an event'. The 'quirky' decor adds a touch of theatre and fun. Plus, the 'professional staff' and 'excellent service' round it all out!

Beautifully arranged over three floors, Bohemia delivers food menu available until 9pm each day. The award winning food is prepared fresh and in house, with quality ingredients.

We're proud to say that Brighton was the second ever Bill's, and whilst it's no longer a bus depot (spoiler, it used to be a bus depot), it still transports you to the good times. Oh, and it's only up the road from the seafront, so there's no excuse to miss it, even if you get lost in the Lanes.

We were served by Luke, he was energetic and very accommodating. He was confident about the menu and made us feel like we made good choices which we did because yummmmm! He was attentive when serving our bottle of wine also making sure we were always topped up. 10/10 service from Luke! The music was a little loud for our taste as we had to shout quite a bit, but it didn’t ruin the evening. Will defo be back! Thank you.

Excellent on all accounts. Booking advised as it is very busy, and for good reason! Excellent food and service and atmosphere. One person’s calzone took a bit longer to come out and the chef sent free fries whilst we waited. Pizza was the best we’ve had, absolutely delicious. Would never have known my pizza was gluten free! 10/10 will be coming back again!
