Venerable London pizzeria relocates to the fashionable Mayfair neighborhood in upcoming May
Crisp Pizza, one of London's top 100 pizza restaurants, is relocating to a new venue in the heart of the city. The popular eatery, founded by Carl McCluskey in 2014 and initially based at The Chancellors in Hammersmith, is moving to The Marlborough, a newly restored pub located at 24 North Audley Street, Mayfair, London W1K 6WD.
The move marks Crisp Pizza's relocation to a central London address, with the new venue set to open its doors in early October 2025. The Marlborough, previously known as The Marlborough Head, had been closed since 2020 before being relaunched by Crisp Pizza and its partners.
The Marlborough is a Grade II-listed building, and the new location will offer a unique blend of restaurant-style seating for 52 covers and an outside terrace, alongside a traditional pub environment on the upstairs level. Crisp Pizza will occupy the downstairs area, continuing to serve its signature pizzas while expanding the menu and adjusting prices to reflect the Mayfair location.
This new venture for McCluskey aims to bring a slice of Crisp Pizza to those in central London. The move is a natural progression for the restaurant, as it outgrows its former home at The Chancellors. The new location is a partnership with the team behind The Devonshire pub in Soho, ensuring that the essence of Crisp Pizza remains while offering a fresh, expanded dining experience.
In recognition of its quality, Crisp Pizza was recently awarded in the top 100 for The Best Pizza Award 2025. With its move to The Marlborough, the restaurant is poised to continue its success and offer Londoners a taste of its exceptional pizzas in a new, exciting location.
