A microbrewery and craft beer bar that's always got a buzzing atmosphere going on, North Laine Brewhouse serves food from Love's Pizza. Their delicious slices are topped with everything from aubergine parmigiana to nduja and ricotta, with dips like garlic and herb or hot honey on the side.
That's not all there is to enjoy, as they regularly host quizzes, DJ nights and more. And for even more entertainment, they offer cornhole, interactive darts, shuffleboard and beer pong.
Pizza o'clock? You bet it is. Make your way to The Fitz Regent for some premium stonebaked slices. Whether you fancy sinking your teeth into a meat feast covered in succulent pulled pork or tasting its American hot with spicy pepperoni, this venue is bound to hit the spot.
For a huge selection of pizzas at an affordable price, it has to be ASK Italian, found on Ship Street near the beachfront. Whether you're dining in the stylish two-storey restaurant or out in the sunny hidden garden, you can enjoy refreshing spritz cocktails and tasty slices.

Sometimes, all you want is a good ol' pie, smothered in gooey cheese, topped with a load of tasty, fresh ingredients. And when that feeling hits? You head on over to Pizza Pilgrims to indulge in the saucy slices that they've become so famed form, as well as cocktails and beers.
These guys are damn good at pizza. The speciality pizza oven sits proudly behind the bar, filled with all sorts of doughy goodness all day, every day. Grab a pizza for £5.95, or two for £8, Monday to Friday from midday until 5pm. It doesn't get much better than that.

From the spicy Flaming Lips with nduja and hot honey, to the burrata-loaded Born Slippy, the menu is all about flavour without compromise. Vegans and vegetarians are well catered for too, with standout picks like the truffle-rich Shroomin and their cult-favourite vegan garlic butter. Add in loaded garlic breads and indulgent desserts like stuffed cookies, and you've got a pizza experience that's as fun as it is satisfying.
Al Duomo is a bit of a Brighton institution, set across five levels, the venue is in right next to the Brighton Pavilion. During the summer, sit outside and order one of their classic pizzas, or in the winter head to a top floor for an atmospheric lunch or cosy dinner.
