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.

Our Waterloo Restaurant

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.



🍕 What We’re Known For: The Best Pizza in London

At Crust Bros Waterloo, it’s all about Neapolitan pizza done our way:

  • 🔥 Leopard-spotted crusts

  • 🍕 Thin, crispy bases

  • 🎨 Fully customisable pizzas


You can build your own masterpiece from 28 top-tier toppings, handpicked from some of the UK’s best suppliers.




The Space & The Vibe

fans. It’s the ideal spot for:

  • Date nights

  • Family dinners

  • Catch-ups with mates

  • Pre-theatre pizza feasts


🍷Our drinks list?

Next level. Think ice-cold Italian lager, crisp rosé, bold reds, and some

seriously fun cocktails. And yep—the terrace was made for Spritzes in the sun.



🥂 Waterloo's Best Bottomless Brunch

Did someone say Bottomless Brunch? Oh yes.

Waterloo is the only Crust Bros location where we serve up this beauty—and it’s been

consistently ranked one of the best bottomless brunches in London.

  • 🍕 Unlimited pizza

  • 🍺 Unlimited beer

All served generously and flowing freely. You bring the energy—we’ll bring the carbs and bubbles.
