A Papa Johns pizza takeaway in Brighton has been given the second-lowest food hygiene rating.

The pizza collection and delivery restaurant in Lewes Road was given a one-out-of-five score by a safety inspector during a visit on November 27 last year.

It was told to make “major improvements” for its management of food safety – the section of the assessment which ensures systems are in place ensuring that food sold or served is safe to eat, staff know about food safety and that the inspector has confidence standards will be maintained in future.

The cleanliness and condition of the building and facilities were found to be “generally satisfactory” while hygienic handling of food was rated “good”.

Businesses are given ratings of zero to five, with zero meaning urgent improvement is required and five that hygiene standards are very good.

Papa Johns was contacted for comment.
