Best Pizza in Brighton?

[alan partridge]

each to their own, but if toast made from your bread tastes like a pizza base, I'm surprised you're still in business

I remember having a Pizza run in with Easy 10 a while back on here. He is ofcourse wrong

We're going out a pizza on Thursday for a celebratory meal so this thread's useful. We normally go to Pizza Express but we're supporting the boycott of it and need to find somewhere else.

Boycott?

Boycott?

They take an 8% 'administration fee' from customer tips.

They sacked an employee who brought this practice to the attention of the media, stating he was guilty of 'bringing the company into direspute'.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Absolutely.
If I'm going out for a meal, I want something SPECIAL that I simply could not knock up at home meself given half an hour, or two minutes and a microwave.

I'm off to the Oriental Village again, on Friday night this week. Some of the most sumptuous and varied chinese dishes you could hope to sample, and its an all-you-can-eat. Now THATS a meal out. You can poke your pizzas up your arse.

I'm off the the Village this Fri eve too for a good stuffing.

Oh. I still like the egg one. You can always not pay the tip automatically and just give it to the waiters, then the restaurant cannot legally touch it.

Splendid. Late sitting ? I prefer the later one, as you do sometimes feel you're being "ushered out" towards the end of the earlier sitting.

I think we're due there about 9ish after a couple of pints.

Not when you have a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old to take out it's not. They're not going to sit down to a gourmet meal or even an Indian (actually, the 2-year-old probably would but my daughter wouldn't have it).

Well, you're taking it to extremes when you talk about a "gourmet meal". Of course little-uns arn't going to be interested in anything thats completely ponced-up like poached quails eggs in tarragon and basil cream sauce. But there's plenty of simple alternatives to pizza that children can enjoy. My two absolutely adored going out and having mexican Fajiitas that they could make themselves (with a little help), just rolling some chicken up in a flour pancake. Sell it to them as "grown up food". Pizza is just junk. They charge the thick end of ten quid for a bit of pastry and melted cheese, then come round with a table-leg full of parmesan that you can't even serve yourself with.

Going out for pizza is rubbish. That, I'm afraid, is FACT.

Same here. Might venture into the Whistle Stop for a couple of Beaters, then see if I can make it out alive.

 

[See-Goals]

I'm moving to five ways in 2 weeks, where is the best place to get pizza locally? I normally make my own but its kind of tradition for us to eat take away pizza with beer on our first night in a new house

oooh - I get to look around the restuarant and play "which one is Easy 10"

 

[Nibble]

The Geese on Southover does Pizza for 2 quid when you order with a pint or house wine. They are okay for cheap pub grub..

 

[Easy 10]

I'll be the podgy one being escorted semi-concious from the premises in a wheelbarrow, with hoi-sin sauce dribbling down my chin and shirt, mumbling incoherently about "just one more portion of kung-po chicken", before being tipped out into the gutter.

this debate is silly! the argument over not having pizza because you can make it is POINTLESS.

you can make ANY FOOD.its not difficult. why BUY a steak? just cook it at home. why BUY a curry, cook it at home.

the point is, a quality made pizza, with fantastic ingredients is BLOODY IMMENSE.

Pizza is junk food, simple as. And when you buy it in a restaurant, it is bloody EXPENSIVE junk food as well for what you get, and its not hugely different than the stuff you'd order from a takeaway or find in the freezer anyway. If I go out for a meal, I want something better than that.

Its fine for kids I suppose, to an extent. I've shelled out for my daughter to go out to Pizza Hut with her friends before, and she's enjoyed it. But you'll never persuade me that going out for a meal and settling on having PIZZA is a worthwhile or enjoyable experience. Might as well chow down in KFC.

But you can have a pizza one time and something a little more upmarket another time. Just because someone likes Pizza out once in a while it doesn't mean that is all they will ever eat.

Also have you ever had Pizza from a supermarket? They taste like horse shit. Best to get some equal opportunities employee to rustle you one up in a restaurant.

Course not, thats not what I'm saying. I'm just speaking from a personal point of view though, and if me and the wife / friends are going out for a meal, my heart sinks if we end up in a pizza place. Pasta bores me to death as well, so in general, if I've been dragged into an Italian I'll go for a steak because theres invariably nothing else even vaguely interesting on the menu.

I've never tasted horse shit so you may have me at an advantage there. But I've had supermarket pizzas at home, like most people. Its just a quick and easy functional thing to cchuck in the oven when you can't be arsed to cook a proper meal. I'll usually slice a few extra peppers, ham, cheese etc on top to make it a bit more interesting, but I never go home thinking "oooh great, its PIZZA tonight". And the thing is, the restaurant ones really arn't that much better !

 

[Nibble]

Fair enough. I don't mind a cheap italian though before or after a film. Some places do them really cheap, pretty much the same as you pay for a shop bought one so I don't mind. I do agree that there is much better and more interesting food choices out there though.

It'll be embarassing having two of us in the same state !
