• Pizzeria • Brighton

Booked 24 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.

Very nice,,,, Lovely terrace,, Very nice food! The service was a bit scattered and unorganised!! Not enough attention to detail.. If I can offer some advice,,, I think you need a Maître D to control it all… Whose job it is to keep an eye on “everything”… We had to keep catching the waiters attention all the time…. But,, we had a nice lunch…..
