VIP Very Italian Pizza Brighton is a lively, family-run pizzeria on Old Steine, serving traditional Neapolitan pizzas and classic Italian comfort dishes in one of the city’s most vibrant seaside neighbourhoods.
Located on Old Steine, the restaurant sits just moments from the seafront, Brighton Palace Pier and the bustling Lanes. This central spot makes it a popular choice for beach-goers, shoppers and visitors exploring the city’s independent cafés, boutiques and cultural landmarks. With its close proximity to the Royal Pavilion and the main bus routes, it’s an easy stop for both locals and tourists.
Inside, VIP Brighton has a warm, rustic feel, with wooden tables, Italian décor and an open kitchen that keeps the space buzzing. The friendly, informal service adds to the charm, creating the kind of place where you can settle in for a long lunch or a casual evening meal.
VIP specialises in authentic Neapolitan pizza, made using family recipes and ingredients imported directly from Italy. The dough is slow-proved and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, giving the pizzas their signature soft, blistered crust. The menu features classics such as Margherita, Marinara, Diavola and Quattro Formaggi, alongside more indulgent options topped with Italian sausage, Parma ham, truffle cream or buffalo mozzarella.
Beyond pizza, the menu includes fresh pasta dishes, antipasti, salads and homemade desserts. Guests can enjoy plates such as lasagne, gnocchi, bruschetta, caprese salad and the ever-popular tiramisu, all prepared with the same emphasis on simplicity and quality. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and the restaurant’s generous portions and relaxed atmosphere make it well suited to families and groups.
With its mix of authentic Neapolitan cooking, central Brighton location and welcoming family-run atmosphere, VIP Very Italian Pizza has become a much-loved spot for flavour-packed, affordable Italian dining by the sea.
