Morelli Zorelli

In Hove, Brighton, Morelli Zorelli is a pizzeria with its heart on its sleeve, guided by the belief that great pizza belongs to everyone. Passion runs through the place, from the first hello to the last slice, and their inclusive outlook means vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners enjoy the full experience without compromise.

Begin leisurely with marinated black olives or a rustic cured meat platter, then lean into the fritti: polpette di melanzane maiale—aubergine and pork folded with herbs, finished with pecorino cream—or frittelle di patate, delicate potato and ham bites that are all crunch and comfort. Antipasti like parmigiana di melanzana bring layers of aubergine, tomato and molten cheese for a softly indulgent start.

Pizzas move from the comforting embrace of a classic Margherita to the punch of a Calabrese. Specials turn up the personality: Hot Diavola brings spicy salami, nduja, mascarpone and a lick of hot honey, while a porcini and truffle creation on a white base layers truffle paste, fior di latte, porcini and goat cheese for deep, woodsy richness.

Lighter plates, from an Italian salad to burrata with rocket and cherry tomatoes, keep things fresh and easy. Settle in for a relaxed, generous slice of Italian-inspired living, where good flavours do the talking. Book your spot, bring your appetite, and let the dough do the flirting.
