Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the pizza base and dough, with one calling the base incredible and another saying the dough was really good. Among named pies, diners mention the Margherita, 'Nduja and Diavola, and one says the gluten free pizza is the best they have tried in Brighton. Close behind is the friendly, quick service, with several praising waiters and waitresses and food and drinks arriving fast. Also mentioned are the baked gnocchi starter, gelato in pistachio, stracciatella and strawberry, the affogato, and local beer on tap. One reviewer who uses a manual wheelchair describes a ramp that is a little steep, a flat interior and a small accessible toilet with the nappy bin right beside it, which made transferring tricky. The main criticism is the Carbonara special, where one diner found the cheese far too strong, and the same reviewer imagines the place would be uncomfortable when very busy. One regular wishes the lasagne pizza would return, and another was surprised to be handed a card asking for a review mentioning their server.

“Brilliant food with incredible service. There was one waitress called Arianna who served us who was the sweetest waitress ever and made the experience of dining at fatto a mano a million times better. We were incredibly impressed at the level of service and will be recommending fatto o mano at preston circus to many people. A brilliant job done by the people working that day ☺️”

“Ordered today online but I eat in and order from Fatto regularly so I know it’s good. The base of their pizzas is incredible - best in Brighton. My only wish is that they would bring back the lasagne pizza”

“Pizza was great as always. And the gluten free pizza is by far the best out there (we've tried everywhere in Brighton). Our server Natan was also great. Although being handed a card at the end and asked to leave a review mentioning the server is new for us. Not sure if that's standard practice now. But it took us by surprise.”

“Best pizza I’ve had in a while. And I recently spent a week in Naples where I ate an unhealthy amount of pizza.”
Highlights
“Neighbourhood pizzerias serving Neapolitan pizza made by hand from the best Italian and local British ingredients. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, proved for at least 24 hours before being cooked at about 450+ degrees in our oven, for no more than 90 seconds. We are open for eat-in – indoors and outdoors – and take-away in Brighton, Hove + King's Cross, London.”
