The award winning London pizza restaurant that is opening a two-floor flagship in Covent Garden

Crust Bros is set to open the brand’s biggest restaurant yet.

A two-floor temple to pizza will open in Covent Garden on July 7 at 29 Bedford Street. Known for its natty Neapolitan-style pizzas, which have won Crust Bros two National Pizza Awards, Crust Bros already has locations in Waterloo and Earl’s Court. 

Crust Bros’ Covent Garden branch will have space for 135 covers, and as well as serving up all manner of pizzas. The flagship will have a special menu of savoury bombas, including a lasagna-inspired take on the fried Italian dough ball, made with six hour ragu, parmesan, bechamel, and a deep fried lasagna sheet. 

You’ll be able to order pizzas from a menu that includes classic marinara and margheritas, as well as the house ‘seven nation salami’, ‘veggie hot one’, ‘big poppa’ and ‘meat sweatz’ offerings. Personalised pizzas will also be available, allowing punters to pick their own dough, sauces, protein, cheeses and veg. So yes, you can order a chaotic gluten-free, green sauce, anchovy, burrata and chilli pizza if you so wish.   

For pudding there’ll be a gelato menu from local ice-cream slingers La Gelateria, and the cocktail menu also sounds rather intriguing, with a house coffee negroni and negroni espresso martini up for grabs.
