About Pizza Pilgrims
We know you’ve read a lot of job ads already, so we’ll get to the point!
Pizza Pilgrims is a multi-award-winning group of pizzerias started by brothers Thom & James 10 years ago. They began by driving a Piaggio Ape Tuk Tuk all the way from Sicily to London on a “Pizza Pilgrimage” to learn the secrets of perfect Italian pizza. Starting on a market stall in Soho with an oven in the back of a van, we have grown steadily into one of the UK’s most respected Neapolitan pizza companies.
We now have pizzerias across London and are growing across the UK, always with a focus on making the best Neapolitan pizza every day. We only use the best ingredients from Naples, including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielle, and more.
We know that to make the best pizza, we need the best pizza chefs, so we work obsessively to create a great place to work.
