SalaryOur mission is to make people happier one pizza at a time. Pizza Pilgrims is a BCORP &Multi award-winning group of pizzerias started by brothers Thom & James 10 years ago 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. They went on to set up a market stall in Soho with an oven in the back of the van & have grown steadily into one of the UK’s most respected Neapolitan pizza companies.
We now have pizzerias in London, Cambridge, Brighton, Nottingham & Oxford. We use the best ingredients from Naples including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielle , to make the best Neapolitan pizza every day.
As a BCORP,we actively challenge ourselves to to make our people happier one pizza at a time; our teams, our guests and our community. Which means making small, incremental changes which actually make a difference to a happier world.
