Welcome to Crust Bros Waterloo, our first-ever pizza restaurant and the birthplace of our crust
obsession. We’re proud to call SE1 home—and if you're looking for the best pizza in Waterloo,
you’ve just found it.

From Street Food to Southbank Legends
Our story started back in 2014, slinging Neapolitan pizzas from a wood-fired oven on a trailer at London’s best street food markets, festivals, and wild parties.
By 2015, we were firing out pizzas at the Southbank Food Market, right next to the Royal
Festival Hall, just 100m from where our Waterloo restaurant now stands. Tourists, locals, office
workers, and pizza fanatics queued down the block—and we were loving it.
Next stop? The Southbank Christmas Market and Summer Festival, where we upgraded to a
shipping container, complete with a giant stone floor oven. Proper vibes.
Then, in 2017, we took the plunge and opened our first full-blown Crust Bros restaurant in
Waterloo. And the rest is delicious history.
