I ordered ham and mushroom pizza and the chef started licking the cheese , the pizza was soggy after it. I had to wait 78 minutes and 12 seconds just to get my drink. i would rate it 5 stars if he licked my pizza more read more

Really great pizza and a cozy atmosphere. This meal was such a treat after a long day of touring!

HOLY FUCK..... I was in Brighton for 2 days and I ate here twice. I was in love. It's a super small shop, kitchen in the back and a few more tables downstairs. Super Italian - and family run! All the staff are shouting in Italian and serving some of the best Italian food I've ever had outside of Italy. I had the Ravioli with meat sauce and I tried 2 pizzas - the Margarita & Diavola. The Raviloi was great, you can tell it's homemade & the sauce had loads of flavour. Moving on to the best - PIZZA. Amazing. The taste of the dough was really good and the sauce was sweet. That's the way real Italian pizza is supposed to taste. The cheese and spicy salami were a great addition. You can tell everything is house made and the quality is exceptional! I loved this place and I would 100% come back! Keep Eating, Angela read more

Wanted some Italian food tonight and our hotel concierge recommended this place. It gives off a homey, family run vibe and the decor/Italian foods around the main dining area set the mood. The menu is so extensive it was hard to choose what to order. We tried the capricciosa pizza (all are neopolitan style) and it was one of the best we've had. We also had a delicious salad and some meatballs with marinara which were all delicious. All of the ingredients were clearly homemade. Then, for dessert, we had a chocolaty pistachio tort with vanilla gelato which was one of the best desserts I've ever had. The servers were all super pleasant and helpful as well :) read more

I gotta say this place has the best pizza I've had in all my life! Was in Brighton for a day and my fam took me here. Really great service. Best pizza. Great atmosphere. Wish to come back again when I visit the UK! read more

A small but welcoming restaurant in Brighton. Looking in from the outside it does look small but on entering you are greeted by friendly staff who quickly take orders and then come back with the drinks and then food. The food for the money provides great value and the taste is lovely will def be going back read more

I was just here for a light meal and a beer. Location is good but its a bit tight if the restaurant is full. So, if you prefer to sit in private, this might not be the dining option for you. We had some pizza and bruschetta. It all tasted good. The pizza was a lot of dough though, I would have preferred a bit more topping. But the crust and all tasted really good despite lack of topping. They have Peroni on tap if you prefer a real Italian beer as well. Looked like busy place so if you are going for dinner I would recommend to book a head a couple of days prior to your visit. It felt as if a part of a big chain so therefore I give it 3 outta 5. Nothing wrong, just felt a bit non-personal vibe. read more

Ordered pizza for take out from here one night! We put in our order and it was ready in 15 minutes-can't get better than that. Can't say much about the dine in experience but the restaurant was very lively for 8pm on a Wednesday when we came to pick up. We ordered a calzone and a VIP mushroom pizza. The flavors were good and he portion huge. The only qualm is that they were quite soggy in the middle and not particularly easy or fun to eat when you get to the middle. read more

One of the best places I have ever eaten. High quality food, and charming service. The vegan afternoon tea was a masterpiece of interesting flavours and beautifully presented. The waitress described all the foods to us and offered suggestions. Price is reasonable considering the price. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If your in the sussex and surrey area drop in it was reviewed in the West Sussex Today, The Littlehampton Gazzette, Worthing Herald, Argos, Pulborough News, Midhurst and Petworth News, West Sussex County Times, Sussex News Broadwater News Bramber News, and received wonderful. reviews. read more

I am not a pizza fan but this is my favorite Italian pizza restaurant. I loved their pizza truffles, honestly I'm obsessed with it. I can't count how many times I've been here or ordered for delivery. All I know, if I'm craving for pizza there's no place to go but here. They serve authentic Italian pizza and the ambiance of the place really feels like you're in one of those pizzeria in Italy. I love VIP and this is the best pizzeria in Brighton! read more

So last night was my third visit to VIP in two weeks. I simply cannot get enough of the pizza here, chewy delicious bread with absolutely delicious homemade toppings... SO GOOD! I really cannot recommend this place highly enough, if an Italian restaurant is packed full of Italians, then you know you're in the right place. read more

Fantastic. Maybe the best pizza crust I've had - including across Italy. For the meatball bolognese pizza and it was so good. Highly recommend this place. Busy and just 12 tables or so - very tight. But good service, amazing food. And they do have gluten free pasta if that's your thing. read more

AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. DIVINE. ABSOLUTELY BLOODY DELICIOUS!!!! Sorry about that, I just wanted to ensure I get across just how good VIP Pizza is! I have been wanting to go here for a while, having seen brilliant reviews on Yelp and have also heard a lot just by word of mouth! There are a lot of Italian restaurants in Brighton, and to be honest with you, they are all just a bit 'meh'... Nothing outstanding, nothing really that great. Until now. I don't really feel that I can properly articulate how fantastic the food was. Real, authentic Italian grub. VIP have their own farm in Italy, and all their food and ingredients are sourced from there. They make their own dough, bread and buffalo mozzerella, as well as providing a wide selection of cured meats. I've never been to a Pizzeria where the dough is just as good as the topping! I could honestly eat that stuff ALL day. I will 100% be going there again. It's a 'must try' from me! read more

When I studied near Brighton I went to VIP almost once a week. The diavola pizza is absolutely AMAZING!!! The employees are nice but most of the tieeme are very busy. When I went during slow hours the employees were sweet and gave me advice for my upcoming trip to Italy. I would go back to Brighton to eat here again and for the time being, I'm going to miss it read more

I can't fault this place, not one bit! One of my favourite restaurants hands down. Such amazing food, very reasonably priced and authentic. We often get two courses each and a drink each for about £30! You can't go wrong whether you order a pasta dish or pizza. Bruschetta is a winner for starters. Come hungry as the portions are huge! Rum baba dessert is a must too, so much rum oozing out of it! There is often a long queue even at more off peak times as its open all day, so book in advance if you can. read more

I was told this has the best pizza ever, in the history of all pizzas. The recommender was a big pizza lover, so I took him on his word. A wide range of pizzas available, as well as salads, calzones and pasta dishes. My friend was right about one thing, the dough was really good, but the toppings were quite rustic and had a very much hand made look, scattered as opposed to arranged. That's OK though, the mozzarella was really good quality and the cured meats platter was excellent. However, both my and my friend's pizza had a topping missing from each of our pizzas, cherry tomatos and olives. Otherwise, pretty good pizzas. read more

This is a great Italian place for pizzas, pastas, antipasta, and authentic Italian desserts. Be adventurous and try out the VIP pizza. Also try the Affettata pizza if you are having a hankering for something much more sophisticated than pepperoni pizza. The liguini di mare is one of the best seafood pasta I have had in the UK. Not to forget desserts, tiramisu aside which is brilliant, try out the baba rum. Baba rum is not easily available in Italian restaurants in UK. Overall, a visit to this restaurant will leave you wanting for more. Kudos to the owners and managers for doing such a great job in serving authentic Italian without compromise. read more

amazing quality/price stuffs, pasta its very very good , pizza as well . Also the antipasti are dfinitely worth trying. read more

Fab pizza place ticket away near the pier. Obviously popular as we're got there early and it was busy even then. Loved all the groceries displayed on the shelves and above the counter - gives it a very authentic Italian feel. My kids wanted starter and then pizzas but looking around I thought they'd struggle to even finish a pizza! Nice thin base, great toppings and I was delighted to find Aperol Spritz on the menu! Oh and I was right about the pizzas - we needed a doggy bag to take home what we couldn't finish! Will be back! read more

Fantastico!!! Absolutely delicious authentic pizza! I spent 6months in Naples and can confirm their pizza is like eating straight out of Napoli! Delicious fresh ingredients, highly recommend adding buffalo mozzarella as a topping on the pizzas. Just so yummy! There's nothing bad to say about this place- brilliant service, fast efficient friendly energetic staff. There was a slight mistake on my boyfriends pizza which was brought out by a waiter from a different table but before he could even say anything our tables waiter glanced over and said- no that's not right and corrected it immediately. Staff on the ball, fantastic pizza and great atmosphere! Happy customers definitely returning. read more

First Time in Brighton, first time to VIP Pizza and was a real great experience. When come inside the restaurant you can brith straight an Italian traditional atmosphere. Staff is professional but easy at the same time. You can enjoy the food and a pint of Italian beer in a great environment. Francesco was so kind and happy to explain us everything about food and the quality of it. I bought them hand made oven bread and hundred grams of Parmesan to take away. Very nice. Ah! Really important, Pizza is cooked in a wood oven so tasty is particular. Once again for sure in the next few months. read more

My last review was considered a "tip" due to limited sentence length. This made my critique feel inadequate. So now, I am review bloating with the two sentences above. VIP is the best pizza in Brighton and Hove. The Burger Bros of Pizza. Enjoy! read more

The pizza was great, service was good but took a few minutes to get the bill, granted it's a packed restaurant with few waitresses. For the price, it was a great spot. read more

I like this place but it's hit and miss, sometimes very good, sometimes average but one thing you can always rely on is the miserable staff. I really hate it when they spray and clean the tables around you when you're eating, common sense is to spray the cloth with your chemical cleaner. read more

Great unique pizza! Outstanding vibe and service! The cannelloni with ricotta and spinachi with Scamorza (smoked mozzarella) was fabulous.

We found this restaurant online and thought it looked fantastic, however when we arrived and were unsure based on the outside if it would be nice. But we were proven so wrong . It was a lovely small restaurant with delicious very Italian pizza o would highly recommend. read more

Loved every single bite of pizza. Can not believe found this little Italian gem in Brighton. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh, the service was outstanding even on a super busy Saturday. Worth the drive from London, will be back for sure, keep it up guys read more

Excellent sourdough pizza. Unpretentious, good quality food and fast service. Definitely worth a visit. Doesn't have a huge amount of space so either book or go for an early lunch. No problem getting seated at midday on a Saturday. read more

This is the best Italian food in Brighton. I almost don't want to review it as I feel like I want to keep it all to myself. The ingredients is shipped in from Naples area. Good prices too. Also you can collect pizza to takeaway :). Casual relaxed atmosphere with polite staff. What more do you need? read more

Fantastic authentic Italian pizzeria. Sourdough pizza base, San Marzano tomato sauce, wood fired oven. Amazing service. A must for the traditional pizza. read more

An authentic experience. the food was fantastic and the staff friendly and engaging!! The tagliatelle Montana was superb.

This pizza was truly outstanding. We had the sausage and potato one and also the ham and mushroom one. Both delicious. The service was also excellent, friendly and prompt, all by Italians. Large portions of really delicious pizza for a fair price. Would come back to Brighton again just to visit this place! Highly recommended! read more

Don't expect it to be like any Italian margarita pizza, but a good retake of the original. It's an oblong pizza with a subtle taste of sourdough. The serving size is quite generous for one person. The side was crisp and chewy and the sauce was well balanced. The rest of the pizza crust was unfortunately soft. Not sure if it was because the pizza was served on a plank of wood and the steam from the hot crust made it soft. Still each bite was good. The triple desert sampler was huge. Of the three, I mostly liked the slice of caprese. Tiramisu and ricotta cake were good but their taste was overwhelmed because of the stronger flavorIng of the caprese. The restaurant's interior had a quite pleasing rustic look. The staff was great. It was highly recommended by my hotel and I think it does live up to its reputation. I wish they can crisp up the bottom of their pizza though. read more

This is one of those Italians where they put a tonne of effort into what they're doing and actually execute it well. Pretty cramped in there, though. You were inches away from each table and I'm way too English to enjoy forced socialising. read more

Mediocre. Not bad, not great either.... We live in the US and Switzerland, spend a lot of time in NYC and this restaurant is definitely not great. Not bad but not great at all. Mediocre taste. We were disappointed after the good reviews... read more

Literally the best pizza I've had in my life. Everything is so fresh, it tastes amazing. The crust is actually one of the best parts. I definitely recommend coming here!! read more

Came into today as we were told the food is very nice. Unfortunately, we never got to try it. Within 2 minutes of being there, we got snapped at by a waiter. He told us to wait, which we were. My boyfriend put his things down on a chair as it was clear we could be waiting a while and he had a lot of things with him. The waiter shot us a surprisingly dirty look, and snarled at us. What a way to welcome your customers!! read more

I have been to this Italian restaurant this August. It's very nice and near the EC school so very convenient for a quick lunch. I'm Italian so i know Italian food very well and i can explain that the pizza is very authentic and it's very similar in Italy. The waiters are very friendly and available. you can also buy some typical Italian products like pasta, oils, cold meat or dessert and ti's very nice if you miss your country. The prices are more expensive than in Italy but they are aligned with the other restaurants in Brighton. For example for one Margherita and one coke you will spend £8,50. In conclusion, i recommend this nice restaurant. read more
