For the past few years Crisp Pizza has held serious sway over London’s many pizza lovers.
However, its slightly far flung nature – Crisp is currently based in The Chancellors pub in Hammersmith – means that securing a slice has been a bit of a mission for anyone not based in west London.
That’s all set to change this autumn, which is sad news for Hammersmith locals, but good news for everyone else. Crisp Pizza founder Carl McCluskey has explained that Crisp has ‘outgrown’ The Chancellors, which has been run by his family for decades, and will now be moving its centre of operations to Mayfair.
As of October, Crisp Pizza will be operating out of The Marlborough on the corner of North Row and North Audley Street, just off Oxford Street. The Marlborough, which has been closed since 2020 and was originally known as The Marlborough Head, is being relaunched by McCluskey, alongside the team from the Devonshire in Soho; Charlie Carroll of Flat Iron, chef Ashley Palmer-Watts and publican Oisín Rogers.
Like The Devonshire, The Marlborough will pride itself on its Guinness, as well as serving Crisp’s renowned pizza from a bespoke pizzeria downstairs. Upstairs will be more of a traditionally-styled London boozer.
The Marlborough is at 24 North Audley Street, Mayfair, W1K 6WD
