Woodbox Pizzeria, Brighton, Kemptown

Woodbox Pizzeria Brighton Kemptown

Woodbox Pizzeria Brighton is a jewel secreted away in Kemptown, and it is, in our opinion, a secret too good to be kept just for lucky locals!

The small venue is light and simply furnished with additional seating available at the open kitchen counter, surrounding the authentic woodfired oven. During the summer months, there is street-side seating with views over the seafront, which also catches the late evening sun.

Too good just for locals

Woodbox Pizza fills up with a lively, jolly crowd that it is hard not to feel part of and offers the sort of personable service that can get lost in more central locations. They’re family and dog-friendly, with a couple of resident canines that are friends with all the local regulars.
