Fatto A Mano North Laine

Incredible pizza. The food, drinks, prices and iconic location make this one of the best restaurants in Brighton. Perfect for a date night or social gathering. I love pizza and I love Brighton, which means I have tried almost every pizza spot in the city. This includes Franco Manca, Fatto A Mano, VIP, Nanninella and Pizza Pilgrims - and of all of them Fatto A Mano, and specifically the North Laine location, remains my favourite. It is a lovely location and perfect for tourists, with Kensington Gardens being one of the most popular and busy streets in Brighton. There is plenty of outdoor seating, best enjoyed with a glass of wine or spritz, and this is the more preferred seating in my opinion - the interior of the restaurant can become cramped and noisy as numbers go up. The food itself is often faultless, although as with most pizza places, it is very difficult to ensure true consistency. My partner and I love olives and always order a portion, we follow this with an order of their arancini balls which are phenomenal and well worth the price (£7.50). I am a sucker for a good capricciosa and therefore often order it. My partner is more adventurous and has tried most of the pizzas - her favourite is the 'Nduja. Service is friendly and efficient. It gets very busy and there is occasionally a queue outside but staff are attentive and will seat you as soon as possible. Once seated, you never feel pressured to finish your meal quickly or leave, even when it's busy, which shows staff want you to enjoy the experience. Fatto A Mano has always been on the cheaper side, with pizza's priced between £10-15 and starters all under £10. You can easily have dinner here with 1 drink each for under £40 which is amazing value when you consider the quality of the food. Just make sure you visit the North Laine location, as the quality of the food and the overall experience is far better than at Hove or London Road.

The food was absolutely stunning really fresh and flavourful. The service was fast and staff were very accommodating. We went on Friday night and it was really busy so we were happy to wait until a table became available. Many choices of pizza and can add additions. The price was really good so cheap for the quality. You can also take away any food you can’t eat.

What an awesome pizza place this was in the heart of the Brighton. Very popular on the night and we had a little wait but it was well worth it for probably the best pizza I’ve had since visiting Lucca earlier this year. The menu offers much more than your normal combinations which I loved. I went for the fennel sausage and was not disappointed. My partner has a food allergy & so the manager checked everything they served to ensure there was no exposure to this. Never seen this before but very good. Atmosphere was lovely, staff friendly and service great. Also v reasonable prices. 2 pizzas with extra toppings, fantastic fries and bottle of wine was £61.50 with service. Well worth a visit.
