The Mezzanine
Our Amalfi mezzanine is the kind of space that makes a meal feel like an occasion. Light-filled, warm, and designed for proper feasting, it's the ideal spot for a sit-down lunch or dinner at our pizza restaurant in Brighton. Pizzas arrive at the table family-style, best shared with a Spritz or two in hand.
Whether you're celebrating, catching up with friends, or just after a reliably brilliant time, the mezzanine delivers. Book ahead or drop us an email, we'd love to have you.

The Football Pitch
The basement is perfect for a friendly (or deadly competitive) kick about, and it's one of those things you genuinely weren't expecting to find at a Brighton pizza restaurant. Surround sound, disco lights, six big screens, and all the pizza and cold beer you need to fuel the match. The footy lounge next door is great for recovering between games, with bean bags, foosball, and FIFA on tap.
The pitch is bookable for birthdays, work parties, team bonding sessions, and more. And yes, it's as good as it sounds.

Pizza Masterclasses
Budding chefs, now is your time to shine.
Join us on the Amalfi mezzanine for one of our famous pizza making classes and get hands-on with the real thing. Our chefs will walk you through the whole process, from working the dough to building your perfect Neapolitan pizza in Brighton, then it's into the oven and time to relax with a drink while it bakes.
Once it's out, you get to eat your creation (and quietly judge everyone else's). Private masterclass bookings are also available for groups, perfect for birthdays, date nights, or corporate events with a bit more personality.

If you're after the best pizza in Brighton, the case for Pizza Pilgrims is pretty straightforward: double-fermented sourdough dough, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and everything baked at 500°C until the crust is light, charred, and chewy, exactly the way it should be. It's pizza Brighton residents and visitors alike tend to seek out more than once. The menu covers the classics and a few signatures you won't find elsewhere, all made with the same care that's kept the brand going since 2011.
Dine in across three distinctive floors, or take advantage of click and collect if you'd rather order pizza Brighton-side from home.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Brighton
Pizza Pilgrims started as a pilgrimage to Naples in 2011, and that obsession with the real thing has never gone away. Every pizza is built on a slow-fermented base, topped with DOP-certified ingredients — San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte mozzarella, Mozzarella di Bufala — and finished in a high-heat oven to replicate what you'd get in the city that invented it. It's Neapolitan pizza done properly, and Brighton is better for having it.
