Crudough: Sourdough Pizza in Islington

Great pizza and lovely atmosphere! The staff was so friendly we had to come back the same week with the rest of our family.

Localizzato nella piazzetta di Archway, si presenta molto bene, con i suoi tavoli a lume di candela ed un ambiente gradevole. La pizza è sicuramente di buon livello per gli standard di Londra, ma se dovessi giudicarla con gli standard italiani, direi che è un po' troppo secca

The best pizzas ever 🙌🏻😊 the service as per usual was excellent 👌🏻 friendly and very welcoming!! We always feel at home when dining at Crudoughs, lovely atmosphere with some nice music in the background, great variety of drinks and some really scrumptious starters 😊

Best pizza in Islington by far. Everything is top quality, super fresh, warmest service. The whole family loves it every time as does anyone new we bring with us. Don’t miss the desserts!!

I first tried this pizza before the dreaded COVID so in around 2019 and as I work and stay in the area put this on my favourites. Revisiting again in 2023 and the pizza and service did not disappoint. I went in close to closing time and the owner/manager and staff were so welcoming. I ordered a pizza with olives mushrooms and pepperoni. Had a beer whilst waiting which was lovely. Pizza was very good....one minor minor criticism is that I think they shouldn't use shitake mushrooms as it spoils the pizzas consistency with the mushrooms being too heavy. Stick to normal mushrooms please 😀. Still delicious! Price and flavour combined with service means an official 4.6 out of 5. The flop of the pizza would improve without shitake mushrooms! Thanks..see you again soon.

Lovely setting, excellent staff- v friendly and efficient, delicious food and very reasonable price- best pizza I’ve had (don’t be put off by slightly unusual toppings- they really work!)

The place looks beautiful . You are greeted at the door with warm and sincere smile . The food was excellent, sourdough thin based pizza yummy. Starters so moorish Have been there three times since opening .

Best pizza I had in London in a long time at a very reasonable price. Service was great. Served really quick and the food overall was delicious. Can’t fault a single thing. Lovely setting. Must visit when in Islington.

Great pizza at reasonable price. The place was cosy and service was good. Tried the crudough, which was authenticly hand-made. Good location next to archway underground station.

Came here for impromptu dinner with a friend and so delighted to find Crudough! Authentic, delicious food, reasonably priced, wonderful atmosphere and lovely drinks. Were warmly welcomed by the owners and made to feel like valued regulars rightaway. Great menu selection, big toppings variety and can't wait to return. Thank you Shpend & Linda, loved it!

Great food. Great value. Great people. Dump the corporate chains and support a business that clearly takes pride in its work.

Love this place. Always so friendly and the food never fails to be deliciously appetising. Nice range of drinks too. Highly recommended.

The best customer service I have ever received in London. The owner is extremely attentive and didn’t hesitate to completely change my pizza when I had an issue with it. The pizza was so fresh with such flavoursome quality ingredients and combinations. Would highly recommend and will be going again.

My friend was visiting from London and wanted Mexican for her birthday treat. What A Treat!!! The food is amazing, and really reasonably priced too. Our waitress Drew was lovely too. Would recommend booking in advance as we went on a Wednesday and it was fully booked for the evening. Great Food, Great Service, Great Atmosphere

We were so glad to have discovered Crudough after a quick search online, as we had the most incredible meal and experience! Our hotel was nearby (Premier Inn Archway), and no wonder everyone gives such high ratings. The pizza was sensational! We were so warmly greeted by the owners who showed us to our table in the beautiful garden area. They were so wonderful with our children too. Our children shared a margherita, my wife had the vegano, and I had the nduja. Just as pizza should be: fresh and incredibly delicious :) And the homemade tiramisu was absolutely incredible!! Thank you so much, and we can’t wait to return next time we visit London!

We have eaten here regularly during the last year or so. The pizzas are superb. Friendly, caring service is evident in a restaurant which is often buzzing and full, but always has an attractive atmosphere. Wines are good and reasonably priced whether by the glass or bottle. We look forward to the experience every time we visit and have never been disappointed.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Great value for money. Garden out the back was lovely and a great playlist!

The best pizza in North London. The restaurant itself is cosy and relaxed, wirh really friendly staff and all at a reasonable price.

Venue beautifully decorated and cosy. All staff extremely friendly, polite and professional. We tried starters, pizzas and desserts and everything was really good. I recommend the Nduja and Gorgonzola pizza and their home made tiramisu. Also the home made caramelised onions coming with one of...

The best pizza I’ve tasted by far. The Nduja was particularly good. Staff really friendly. Meal and wine were great value. A must for a quick bite or a full sit down meal in an atmospheric environment. Please open a restaurant up in the North...

Amazing! We have visited Crudough a few times as they are local to us. The pizzas never disappoint. The choice is amazing and you can adapt your pizzas to how you like them. The staff are always very welcoming, helpful and cheerful. We got a...

Pizza was very good and the service very friendly, also what you should know is that there is seating out back in the yard with heat lamps should you feel the cold.

Top notch pizzas. We visited with our sons during the heavy downpour of last Sunday. Spen and the lads were extremely hospitable despite also having to deal with flooding in the cellar !! Excellent olives, wine and ice creams, however the pizzas were sublime. Tonight...

Really good pizza!! So tasty. Service was outstanding, particularly the guy with the glasses. Would come again

I come here as much as I can. I really think this is one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten! Staff are lovely, prices are good, desserts are lovely (try the tiramisu) and pizzas always top notch. I’m vegetarian and there’s great choice. They also...

One of my go to pizza spots. Order delivery regularly. Have only been able to eat in the restaurant once due to Covid but I had such a nice experience. Really warm, intimate atmosphere. Lovely staff and great service.

Simply the best pizza in north London. Amazing take away and can’t wait till we can go and eat in again (when not in tier 4!). Can not recommended this place highly enough.

I have been going to Crudough for the last two years. Amazing pizza with lots of interesting toppings, tartufata, Nduja and the Valtellina are our favourites. Fantastic service with the friendliest staff, feels like home whenever we go. Great drinks options and overall fantastic place...

Our family love coming here! Delicious pizzas and ice cream. Friendly, prompt service and a beautiful garden out back with gorgeous Christmas decorations. We definitely recommend this place - the best pizza restaurant we know.

I've never left a review, but for Crudough I will. Great food, amazing environment and the friendliest of service.

Always friendly and accommodating Good to have this on our doorstep in Archway Pizzas are the best in this part of town Also optional ...there’s space outside which is charming

Everything was great, the place, the staff very friendly and the pizza was delicious. The one with goats cheese and caramelised onion was my favourite. Definitely coming back!

Best pizza restaurant in the area run by a lovely and caring team. Amazing food & wine and beautifully decorated restaurant with and outdoors garden (perfect for summer time)

Tasty pizzas, fantastic service, close to archway tube! The staff very kindly donated x10 pizzas to local NHS workers after a shift during the coronavirus pandemic as a pick me up!

We wanted to have take away pizza from them before but my friend experienced that they treated him badly and rude, he felt extremely unwelcomed so he didnt get anything and we ended up starving as they were the only ones open as it was...

Quick dinner before attending a football game. The staff didn’t seem Italian, but they had adopted to the Italian food. Excellent pizza on sourdough, nice “toppings” and good service.

My wife and I went here with our two young grandchildren (2 and a half and 5). It was early evening and the place was packed with parents and small kids - apart from the fact that the pizzas are excellent, they also do something...

I have already been here twice as I really liked the pizzas and I liked how amazing and friendly the staff were. They are very friendly. If you around archway then it would be a 5mins from the station. I highly recommend this place and...

This place looked nice from the outside so we dropped in for dinner last night. The food was delicious and the service was super friendly. The food came quick and the price is super reasonable. I will be returning!

Very friendly staff. Splendid fresh food. Unbelievably patient with kids. A true neighbourhood restaurant.

Great Sunday brunch, bruschetta was especially good. Have also been back for pizza. Highly recommended.

I have eaten some of the best pizza in Rome, Naples, New York, Buenos Aires and Melbourne and pizzas aat Crudough are right there. Definitely a world class pizza and warm atmosphere. Last but not least the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

This is the Best pizza I've had in London. Great wine selection and very friendly staff. Very reasonably priced too!

Been there for a lunch. Very cosy place. First of all service and staff are excellent. Starters are just fantastic. And when it comes to pizza don’t even think to miss it. Unique recipe and very fresh one. Simply try it.

The service of this place really makes it - not too intrusive, but just enough to show they want you to enjoy the evening and the meal. The food was very good too, lots of veggie options but also some proper classics . 5 out...

I have been here a few times now and each time has been great! The staff and service is excellent and the pizza is so good, it doesn't get much better! There is a lovely terrace out the back with heaters for cooler days and...

Best pizza I’ve ever had. The place is cozy, music is great, and did I mention they have the greatest pizza on planet?

We stopped by for breakfast having decided to eat out rather than in the nearby hotel. There were 6 of us and we all chose something different and everything that came from the coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice and breakfast was simply delicious! We decided...

Very tasty pizza from a very friendly staff of people. Can't beat this for either dining there or taking away.

Absolutely amazing brunch with an Italian feel. They also serve delicious wood oven baked pizzas. Open for brunch till late.

This is the best place for pizza in Archway. The vibes are cool here, the wine is good and the pizzas are just the right size. I"m so glad we have such a great pizza place in Archway now. Definitely worth a visit

When you have to find somewhere for a vegan, a vegetarian and a meat eater, than this is the place. Quality pizzas with fresh ingredients and a very friendly service.

***They re great**Just one of the best places to eat, from the quality of the food, the brew, to the decor and the excellent friendly manner in which the staff serves you, outstanding!! I will wear Crudough T-Shirt.

I would like to reiterate the sentiments of other diners who have left reviews. I have eaten inside Crudough and it was a lovely experience, very relaxing and cosy and great service. I often order the pizza for delivery, it really is amazing pizza. I...

This is a simple, unpretentious restaurant that serves the most amazing pizza. The beer is also good. The owner and staff are friendly and the prices are good. The star of the show is the pizza with an amazing sourdough crust and first-rate toppings. I...

I went with my family for lunch we ordered 3 pizzas for a party of 4 and an antipasto of meats to share. Everything was delicious. The service was very good and the atmosphere was relaxing and nice.

Have to say pizza is not my favourite food but tonight for a work dinner, this place surprised me with delicious pizza and desert too! We shared 3 different pizza and loved all 3! Huge selection of wine and lots of patrons stayed back to...

Been going here since it opened over 1 year ago and these guys know what they are doing. The 2 guys who run it are very friendly and welcome you as soon as you walk in, asking for your name and will remember you on...

Super happy that Crudough has opened in Archway - I can now get my pizza fix all the time! The pizzas are amazing, light tasty and full of toppings. Service lovely and it’s all not too pricey. And because people know it’s good, it’s busy...

It's been great to see Crudough succeed in this hitherto difficult location but it's not without good reason. The food here is simply fabulous and since opening it has become my regular and favourite restaurant. The starters of dolce olives, grilled vegetables with buratta, drizzled...

this pizza is honestly the best i have tried in London. The sourdough base is perfect in size, as it's not too chunky or doughy. The toppings on both ours pizzas were delicious. The price was so reasonable and the service was faultless. If you...

Found this place as I was walking around trying to find somewhere to grab dinner. Archway offer lots of food places but nothing that looks very appetizing. Crudough is a relaxed place with friendly staff, fast service and AMAZING pizza. Had a Tartufata and the...

Great pizza, very friendly service and really affordable. Definitely one of the best places to eat in the area. The beat the clock deal is really good Value between 5-7.

I arrived at 4.45pm and they kindly let me order for the 5-7 deal early at 4.50pm. The food is very good and good value in fairness. However I didn't appreciate being asked to move tables just after I had finished my pizza and before...

Friday night out with work colleagues and friends. Very pleasant ambience, warm and cosy. We were well looked after by attentive staff and the food was excellent. Will go again.

Crudough, Archway, is an authentic sourdough pizza bar with great food that's good value for money, including a £5pm-£7pm Mon-Friday deal where you can get a £9 pizza for £5-£6 between 5-7pm. Prosecco on draft, great beer and a good place to meet friends. Attentive...

We discovered this pretty restaurant tucked away in a side street in Archway, the staff are lovely, the music played is great and the pizza is really good. Not the neapolitan style one but more a pizza from southern Italy, a little crunchier, made with...

Sourdough pizzas are in but I find them soggy and undercooked, so what a joy to find a pizza restaurant that can produce a crust with a crunch. The menu is small, unlike the pizzas themselves, which are massive but the range of available ingredients...

There are an awful lot of pizza restaurants in London but very few genuinely good ones. Crudough is that rare beast. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, a very decent soundtrack played at an appropriate decibel level and above all truly great pizzas at a reasonable price....

Made a last minute booking to visit this restaurant on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived but it didn't take too long to prepare our table. We ordered pizza from the menu but after talking to the waiter he offered...

Delicious pizza, nice atmosphere, and friendly, welcoming staff. I’m very happy Archway is now home to this gem of a restaurant and will definitely be returning.

They have really great pizzas, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Absolutely worth a visit.

Been to Crudough a number of times, one of them for my daughters birthday. Pizza's are made with a proper base and not overdosed with toppings so they stay crusty. For me one of the things that won me over was that the black olives...

This place is magical. The pizzas are the very best,from the sourdough base to the creative, mouth watering toppings. The truffle mushroom is highly addictive. Prices are really fair and especially before 7pm. Find better value than that. All the staff are a delight (and...

This place has some of the best sourdough pizzas I’ve eaten. The atmosphere is relaxed and buzzy, the décor cool and stylish. The staff are really helpful - more like mates working together on something they love rather than waiting drones. And the best bit...

What a brilliant find in Archway! The pizzas are fresh and authentic with imaginative toppings, when combined with their sourdough bases it is a unique and tasty offering! The service is fast and friendly, prices are reasonable and there is a good choice of drinks....

I know the owners/managers of this great pizza place. Its why I first visited. Now I've got that out of the way I can't be accused of a sneaky review - because the truth is that this is a brilliant pizza place. The decor is...

Visited Crudough twice in a week and I guess that says what a wonderful experience I had. The pizzas are extremely delicious, the toppings are fresh and the quality of the produce is incredible. The staff is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Will be coming...

I am Italian and I can confirm that the pizza quality is really good !!! The Camden draft beer is also good

Finally a new great pizza place in Archway Tried delivery and was great. Great pizza pasta and toppings. I would just put less garlic in the spinach!

We've made a habit of enjoying the delicious pizzas of Crudough whenever we can go for an early dinner (they have a great offer between 5pm and 7pm). The pizzas are really really good, massive for the price, the staff is always genuinely friendly, and...

This pizza place is absolutely amazing. We are regulars now and always feel very welcome despite our noisy children :) The pizza is one of the best we've tasted and the service is always flawless. Thank you and we'll keep coming back.

First visit to this restaurant which was recommended to me by a neighbour. Was not disappointed. Pizza are very good and reasonable priced (£10 for the best ones ). Atmosphere is modern and relax, no loud music, very nice service. All makes for a very...

Crudough is utterly fantastic, service is great, the food is amazing and brilliant value. Will be back.

Number one pizza place in London! Top service, very friendly staff and the food is delicious Highly recommended ❤️ Crudough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing pizza, great friendly service and lovely selection of wine. Just found our new local pizza place!

We are regulars at this incredible spot in Archway. Excellent pizza- the best I’ve ever had and at fantastic prices. Lovely people, beautiful space. Top notch! Could not recommend high enough!! Excellent!!

Family run and Delicious! Since their opening we can’t get enough of the pizza and the service! The phrase “perfect pizza” has been thrown around many, many times! Highly recommended!

We've been here a couple of time now and it has never disappointed, the staff are friendly and provide good service. The turn out Pizza's quickly and all for a reasonable price. There's not very much not to like! Plus the restaurant has been decorated...

Wow - this place was busy for a Monday night! A terriffic atmosphere, cool design, charming service and delicious, sensibly priced food. The wine list was impressive - I’d recommend the 2016 Primitivo.

Went on a Monday night, awesome pizza with fresh ingredients, great service and super cheap. Go there now !

We have walked past this place a few times and always wanted to try it, so glad we did as the pizza was delicious and during 5-7 it is the best value for money than anywhere else I have eaten pizza in London. The interior...

Crudough's one of the best restaurants in the area, amazing food, quality ingredients and couldn't be friendly with great service. Definitely best set up around with superb decor and outdoor garden, worthy of going for food and/or drinks!

Ditto Jack C's comments below! This is one of Archway's true hidden gems. Even better value with the beat the clock deal from 5-7pm. The parmigiana and tiramisu are worth trying (as well as the pizzas, obviously)

I’ve lived in North London for four years and I’ve finally found the king of Pizza joints. Classy but laid back. Tasty but well priced. The pizza is beautiful and the beer is cold. The first time I went, I came back the next day...

Tasty pizza, very friendly staff, great atmosphere. My wife and I have been 3 times since the restaurant opened at Christmas and we’ll definitely be back for more!

Absolutely superb soudough-base pizza! Creative toppings, quality ingredients, and excellent flavours. The service is friendly, competent and great with kids and adults alike. The location is ideal, just in the centre of Archway (now called Navigator) plaza. We are local to the area, and this...

Lovely restaurant, the pizza is amazing with really new, beautiful topping combos. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Love coming here :) Also great vegan option!

We were very happy with experience here. High recommended! Ordered 2 pizzas, 2 glasses of wine and a starter and the bill came to less than £30. The food was delicious.

We visited last night as a party of 5, our first visit, and we all loved the food! Pizzas were delicious, thin and crispy with lovely toppings! A good selection of beer and wine. We didn’t have room for a pudding as it was getting...
