Pizza Pilgrims

I’ve been a big fan of @pizzapilgrims ever since they landed in Brighton in 2022, and even before that, when I used to visit their London sites. I love the vibe, the style of their pizzas, and their monthly specials, which are always consistently brilliant

On my most recent visit, I tried their September special, the Scugnizzo Per Sempre: slow cooked tomato and garlic sauce, provola smoked mozzarella, crispy pancetta, black pepper, and basil. Simple, authentically Neapolitan, and bursting with flavour, I was really impressed.

We also shared a few of the side dishes, which I think Pizza Pilgrims does particularly well. The Garlic Flatbread Sharer is always a family favourite, and the new Schiaffo pickled cucumbers were a surprising highlight—refreshing and a great addition to the menu. Of course, I couldn’t leave without ordering the Burrata Caprese Salad, which is so fresh and delicious I could happily eat it every day. Alongside our pizzas, we tried all four of the Crust Dippers, an absolute must in my opinion. They’re the perfect finishing touch for your pizza crusts. The pesto dip was the standout winner for me, though they’re all worth trying!

The drinks were another highlight. Their Aperol Spritz comes served in a pint glass (which I was personally thrilled about), and the Spicy Pineapple Margarita was a fun and tasty twist on the classic, definitely one I’ll be ordering again.

All in all, it was a fantastic family dinner. The kids’ menu offers plenty of choice to keep little ones happy, while the main menu balances pizzas, salads, and sides perfectly for adults. To top it off, the downstairs arcade games and football pitch kept the kids entertained while we waited for food, a real bonus, though worth noting that the area is sometimes hired out for parties. If you haven’t tried Pizza Pilgrims yet, I’d highly recommend a visit. Great food, great atmosphere, and something for everyone.

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
