Well now. It seems Mr Graphic Foodie is a secret frequent visitor to Pizzaface. Knowing how I feel about take-aways, he has done well to stash the boxes out of view. Tsk. But Pizzaface really isn't your usual pizza take-away.
The lamb prosciutto and wild boar salami found here are not your usual take-away toppings. You will happily not find the likes of a "stuffed crust meat feast" or "Peking duck" but instead some excellent combinations like the ones we ordered such as The Johno; red onions, olives, peppers, sautéed mushrooms, Parmesan and fresh chillies, The Bore; Pork and wild boar salami with sliced red onions and mushroom and The Pecora; A "strong and unique" lamb Prosciutto topped with sautéed mushrooms. Priced slightly less than the pizza take-away bad boys at around £9 and oh, so much better, you can now top up your order with gelato from my favourite Boho (Sea Salt caramel, Mojito Sorbet, Chocolate and blood orange sorbet) and wines from the fantastic Butlers Wine Cellar - this place is a mini celebration of Brighton independents.
Also happy to report that the bases, whilst still no Franco Manca, have considerably improved since my last review and are arguably the best you are going to get in Brighton. I would love to see them using a wood burning oven in the future.
Also worth noting is that they offer vegan options and gluten and wheat free bases (using Doves Farm organic flour). So very, very Brighton.
Good work Pizzaface and Mr Graphic Foodie, no need to hide the boxes any more!

Lamb prosciutto and wild boar salami, do they deliver???? That looks and sounds so delishious!!
ReplyDeleteI've never had lamb prosciutto - sounds amazing! And those pizzas do look like they're not a million miles from the beautiful doughy pillows of Franco Manca...makes me want to pop down to Brighton for the evening :-)
ReplyDeleteOrdered the 'meathead' and 'funghi'(with added pepperoni). Very nice, both agreed the 'funghi' was better, the wild bore a little overpowering, maybe too much meat. Went down well with a bottle of sauvignon.
ReplyDeleteWe had difficulty in phoning in our order (line engaged, very busy I guess). Pizzas delivered in 15mins, was quoted 30mins, nice and hot.
Cheaper then the dominoes down the road.
So far the best pizza in brighton, with cafe Aldo coming in second.
