Al Forno Pizzeria - (Near East Sussex, london)

5 /5 Lynn Jerman-Webber: Lovely restaurant, we had arancini with fresh tomato sauce and rocket and a delicious handmade pizza with pepperoni, which was delicious. Friendly staff, comfortable seating. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend

3 /5 P S: They have a whole separate vegan section of menu, the vegan pizza is some of the best I’ve tried, especially the pesto one. Amazing soft base and right amount of cheese and toppings. Vegan pasta was beautifully al dente and a huge portion, but their pizza really does steal the show. Would highly recommend. Vegan dessert (chocolate torte and mango cheesecake) was quite pricey at £6 for a thin slice and it was shop bought, but good to have a vegan dessert option nevertheless. Bruschetta was nice as well but wish they did 4 slices of bread rather than 3 as it’s easier to share. The entire experience was let down as they add 10% service charge to the bill without asking. If customers want to AND can afford to, they will tip your staff, please stop enforcing it on your customers - every single person is fighting for a living wage in this day and age, not just waiting staff! People like me get too embarrassed to ask to take it off the bill, and restaurants know this and purposely use this tactic to get more money out of their customers.

5 /5 Dakota: We used to order online occasionally, but we had never eaten at the restaurant before. We went for the first time on Sunday for lunch. The waitress who served us was very sweet and attentive. She gave us a few suggestions based on our tastes, we tried them, and absolutely loved it! It was busy a little, but the waitress took great care of us, she was smiling and fast. They have a wide variety of pizzas, its best to come and eat there. Lol.

5 /5 Lily Higgins: Brilliant Italian food! A lovely restaurant, friendly staff and a great choice on the menu! Went here for my birthday and it was the best lunch. The lasagne was delicious and the fudge cake. I’d definitely recommend! It’s in a lovely part of Brighton.

4 /5 Sam: We had 2 breakfasts here on BH Monday, they were really nice. The service was good but a bit chaotic. It was mainly only one lady serving on a bank holiday Monday. I could hear other customers getting impatient. We got served well and quickly and the food was freshly made, the coffee was hot and so we were happy.
