Although part of a chain, Zizzi’s has a unique character of its own, which fits in well with the quirky charm of its surroundings.

Despite Brighton’s abundance of Italian restaurants, the restaurant has still managed to succeed in making its presence felt, with pizza and pasta lovers championing it since day one.

Popular with shoppers, families and parties, the restaurant has a laidback, anything-goes atmosphere.

The food is tasty and served in generous portions, especially the pizzas, which are enormous and freshly cooked on woodfired ovens. The menu has a bit of sparkle and isn’t jam-packed with all the usual standard Italian fare. The service is friendly and the staff have a good knowledge of the food.
