Purezza serves the most divine GF pizzas - I have not tasted any that can compare! My friend and I opted for the extremely good value lunch deal which consisted of a small plate, a medium pizza and drink for just £15! I had the first GF, DF Caesar salad since being diagnosed coeliac and it was out of this world, lovely vegan chicken, bacon and crunchy salad with a creamy dressing!! The Pesto Pizza to follow was the best GF pizza I’ve ever tasted, chewy and crispy with a creamy pesto topping! The meal was washed down with a crisp, fruity Prosecco! Well done and many thanks Purezza for your laudable food ethics!!

Loved the food! We had a selection of foods we haven't had yet and we're pleasantly surprised by the amount of amazing flavours, textures and ingredients! The cheviche was my favourite! Lovely waitress that comes from Peru herself; owner run. Quirky & energetic energy. Loved it and definitely recommend!

Overall we had a great meal. Five out of six dishes were excellent. However, the "Panko Fried Jerusalem Artichokes" seemed undercooked to me - but perhaps my expectations were skewed. We will definitely be back . . .

A early dinner for two. The service started off well but slowly dwindled as the meal went on. We had prawn summer rolls, baby squid and pork spring rolls to start which were lovely. The portion for the squid was really good too! Mains we had chicken salad and chicken curry. The chicken curry was quite a small portion from the other Phos and disappointed to find only three bits of chicken! The salad was really good, but again not a very big portion. Overall it was okay.

Fatto a Mano Hove

Pizzeria

Hove

About the restaurant

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.

For reasons none of us remember and certainly no-one would want to challenge we always go to Fatto a Mano for lunch on Christmas Eve. The pizzas were gorgeous (special mention for the lovely vegan truffle pizza!) and the waiting staff very attentive and fun, clearly enjoying their work.

About the restaurant

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.

The service was of a very high standard. From the moment we were greeted at the door to leaving the restaurant. Didn’t get their name but the person that hosted our table and looked after us was incredibly friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. The food…such a good quality. A bit on the pricey side however, this is reflected in the quality. Would highly recommend.
