Clerkenwell, Pizza Restaurant Guide

“Sneakily good pizza” – double-fermented Neapolitan-style – ensure that many branches are “always packed” at the Elliot brothers’ still-expanding chain, whose new summer 2025 opening at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane marked a return to the site of one of their earliest pop-ups in 2013. Nowadays, it’s one of the more commented-on multiples in our annual diners’ poll. Top Menu Tip – “pepperoni and honey!”

“Every neighbourhood deserves a Crudough”, declare fans – but only Archway (the “relatively no-frills” original) and Angel are lucky enough actually to have a branch! Their “fresh, thin and crispy sourdough pizzas” are “served up with charm and a great range of beers and wines”. Top Menu Tip – “their Melanzane Parmigiana is superb”.
