About VIP Pizza Brighton
VIP Pizza Brighton is a pizza restaurant at 19 Old Steine in Brighton, run by a family business that spans five generations. Neapolitan pizza is cooked in a clay oven, and the Italian owners work with imported Italian ingredients and serve imported Italian lemonade. Pasta dishes, including carbonara, sit alongside the pizza, and a Sunday roast with a veggie wellington is on the menu. Peroni is poured by the pint and half pint, and dogs are welcome inside. The restaurant also sells non-perishable Italian products to take home, along with cake to go.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza is what reviewers return to most, described as authentic Neapolitan-style with a thin base and a good crust, and several call it the best they have eaten. One diner singles out a Hawaiian where the pineapple tasted fresh, and another names the Quattro stagione. Close behind are the pastas and other mains: carbonara, a seafood risotto described as excellent, a pulled pork sandwich, a Farcito Panuozzo and a Mediterranean salad with artichokes and pecorino cream. A regular who had only ever ordered pizza calls the Sunday roast with a veggie wellington the best in years. Portions are often called large, with one diner unable to finish a meal. The one recurring complaint is value, as a reviewer found the carbonara portion too small for its roughly pound price. Friendly service gets repeated mention. Diners also mention the imported Italian lemonade and a slice of chocolate cake taken home to go.

“The best pizza I have ever eaten. The atmosphere of this restaurant was unreal, the food was delicious and most importantly the service was superb. I did not get the name of the waiter, but it is worth noting he provided a perfect service despite the busy Monday evening. I cannot recommend this restaurant more! Especially if you love pizza!! 😋”

“This might genuinely be the best pizza I’ve ever had! The portions were much larger than expected, and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. I ordered the Hawaiian pizza, and for the first time ever, I could actually taste the pineapple perfectly it was fresh, flavorful, and complemented the other toppings beautifully. Both the taste and the size exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for great pizza in Brighton, this place is an absolute must try! 🍕✨”
