Pizza 500
Maybe a bad experience but the pizza we ordered was 15 minutes late on pickup with no apology, they refused to add a meat to a pizza as it would “ruin it”, and while one pizza was delicious, the other’s meat was full of fatty bits.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 83 Preston Road
Pizzaface
Super cool independent pizza place with delivery thanks to Deliveroo. Cool menu – we had a Funghi with field, shiitake, chestnut and oyster mushrooms with garlic, parmesan, thyme and truffle oil, and a Jakub with chorizo, pork and wild boar salami, caramelised onion, dollops of mascarpone, dried chilli flakes and oregano. Even the menu is well considered and it translates to very delicious pizza.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 35 St George’s Road
Pizza Me
Pizza delivery outfit that has really committed to an amusing “ME” based menu structure. Eg “Where’sMEspecks” and personal favourite “ButterMEnuts”. Worth a look for this alone. Pizza-wise it was pretty ok. Two tasty pizzas, delivered in an hour. Thought the MeatME was really pretty stingy with the meat, which prevents it being awesome.
Verdict: Ok

Thai Pad Thai
We had delivery which was super fast, and very good value. Tasty too, with the one proviso that everything was spicier than expected – even green curry!
Verdict: Awesome

Fatto a Mano
Neapolitan pizza, renowned in Brighton and Hove but honestly, only ok. Pizza pretty good, but Brighton is lousy with top flight Neapolitan pizzerias. Cheap, yes, but the place is small, hot, and pretty plain. Basically, you’ll have a pretty solid meal but much better to be had.
Edit 25/3/20: Had a delivery from these guys and it was amazing, so just get delivery!
Verdict: Ok / Edit: Awesome

Trollburger
Shack serving up “organic dirty burgers” under the Trafalgar Street Arches. Tricky this. Proprietor is lovely, and the burger I had was EXTREMELY tasty…but tiny for the money, which can be just under £10 for not much. Clearly made with love, but too expensive for what it is.
Verdict: Ok
Location: Trafalgar Street Arches
LFC Brighton
Fried chicken delivered, and have to say, very well done. The true test of fried chicken delivery is the chips. Hot? Or cold and soggy? Difficult to achieve. LFC, who in fairness are very close to my house, did very well. Nuggets, popcorn chicken, chips, garlic bread, all good.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 37 Ditchling Road
Chicks Chicken & Pizza
Thought I’d try a chicken shop delivery, and I have to say, well done! Excellent pizza cheesy garlic bread, great chicken strips, and most impressively, hot and fresh chips on delivery.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 5 Lewes Road
Spice Merchant
Another stop in our quest to find our favourite Indian takeaway. Spoiler alert, this isn’t it. While I thought my chicken korma and cheese naan were both top notch and cheap, my companion’s brinjal bhaji was apparently rather unappetising.
Verdict: Ok
