“We are MONTE FORTE. An independently run pizzeria, bringing Neapolitan pizza to the south east of England. Our pizza is chewy, light and charred at 500c in our hand built oven, just like the ones cooked in Napoli. Along with great hospitality and an expansive drinks offerings we think we offer something special for anyone who joins us. We get booked up quickly, especially at peak times, so to avoid disappointment please make sure to book. Pizza. Craft Beer. Good Vibes.”

About Monte Forte - Neapolitan Pizza (Horsham)

On East St in Horsham, Monte Forte is an Italian restaurant built around Neapolitan style pizza, including a Margherita and an American with pepperoni, cooked in a wood-fired oven. Smaller sizes can be made on request. A beer range runs alongside a cocktail list that includes a spicy margarita, and a lunch menu pairs a pizza or pasta with a soft drink at a set price. Table service brings courses out and clears between them, and seating welcomes dogs. The restaurant is a walk-in, with no reservations taken, and it opens daily. Downstairs, a basement area is available for private hire, hosting bottomless pizza and cocktail evenings as well as wedding breakfasts, giving groups a separate space to book for their own event.

    “We used Monte Forte for our evening food at our wedding and it was incredible! We got to choose which pizzas and even then they were so flexible. By the end of the night, those pizzas had been a literal life saver. Couldn't recommend enough”

    “Dog friendly and will do any of the pizzas in a smaller size. Hadn't had a cocktail before, they are most excellent. The spicy margarita is worth checking out”

    “We hired the basement area for our wedding breakfast after our ceremony at Horsham registry office. The space was nice and private, the cost was really reasonable, and importantly it was the hottest day of the year so far so the air conditioning was a life saver. The food was delicious with the pizza being as good as anything we've had in Naples, and the menu catering for all our guests' preferences/dietary requirements. Aiden in particular was lovely and accommodating and made the whole experience really easy. Would highly recommend :)”

    “We come to Monte Forte for lunch with our 3 children. It was nice and quiet, which was ideal for us as our children have neurodisabilities. The gentleman serving us was really laid back and friendly, great customer service. My partner is Italian, and was transported back home when he bit into the pizza, he said it tastes almost identical to the ones back in Italy. I too have never tasted such delicious pizza in the UK before either. The price of the meal altogether was also the cheapest we (as a family of 5) have ever had, totalling £53.09! The atmosphere was pretty quiet which for our children is nice, however some music would be nice in the background to break the silence when its not so busy. However, it will definitely be our go to place to eat whenever we visit Horsham from now on.”

    “I came for lunch with my mum and my baby. There were plenty of seats available, the waitress was very friendly and she kindly gave us a bigger table in a more private area so we could keep our pram nearby and let my son crawl around. The atmosphere was relaxed and homely. The food came quickly, the pizzas were good (excellent dough and fresh ingredients, Neapolitan style) and the lunch menu was very good value. The restaurants has baby changing facilities and high chairs. We definitely enjoyed our lunch and would recommend the restaurant and return. My only 2 small suggestions for them to improve: 1. as a Neapolitan (and very knowledgeable about pizza) i would suggest not putting dry tomatoes on a Bufalina as the bitterness of the conserved tomatoes doesn't go well with the freshness of the other ingredients. 2. I'd suggest ensuring they always have tiramisù as I was a bit sad it had run out.”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return to the Neapolitan pizza above all, with several comparing it to what they ate in Naples or Italy, and one Italian diner saying it tasted almost identical to home. Dough, fresh ingredients and a well-balanced classic margherita come up most, while the lunch menu is repeatedly described as very good value. Close behind is the welcoming service, including a waitress who offered a bigger table for a pram and a manager who made a basement wedding breakfast easy. Another couple used the pizzas for their evening wedding food. Diners also mention a good beer range, cocktails such as the spicy margarita, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that suited families, though one family wished for some background music. The complaints are small. One reviewer found service slow for drink orders and clearing plates, another noted a five minute gap between desserts, and one found the American pizza short on pepperoni. A parent was sad that the tiramisù had run out.
