Our Story
Port Alba sits right on the seafront at Eastern Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea
Fresh, authentic Italian pizza made daily by the sea. Our name is a nod to where pizza truly began. The original Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba opened in Naples in 1830 and is widely believed to be the world's very first pizzeria. We chose the name so that every pie we serve carries a little of that Neapolitan spirit with it — simple, honest food made the way it has been for generations.
We believe that great food is more than just a meal — it’s an experience to be shared with friends, family, and fellow BBQ enthusiasts.
Step inside and you’ll feel the warmth of our kitchen, the inviting scent of wood smoke, and the lively atmosphere that keeps our guests coming back. Whether you’re here for tender ribs, juicy brisket, or our signature sides, every plate reflects our commitment to flavor, quality, and the joy of good company.
Every table at Port Alba is an invitation to explore.
Crafted with Passion, Served with Pride
