• Pizzeria • Brighton

Booked 9 times today

We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.

One of the fastest services I’ve ever seen. We attend Pho Brighton semi-regularly and are aware how the service takes a little longer when it’s at its busiest - but during this last time we visited, the staff and kitchen really outdid themselves in terms of speed.

Incredible service and some of the best fish dishes we have ever had. Who knew strawberries would go so well with scallops, and their egg and soldiers was a revolution! Such an enjoyable evening.
