Who we are

We’ve been around since 1965, bringing pizza to the UK and have since grown to a multichannel, international brand. Our people are at the heart of our success and everything we do, and we believe you should always be able to express yourself.

Here you can be yourself.

Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of our business and are valued by our teams, customers, and suppliers. PizzaExpress and Milano is a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.

That’s why we assess each application on the aptitude to do the job and nothing else.

If you are invited to an interview, please let your interviewer know at the time of booking if you require any reasonable adjustments to be made for you.

*Tronc, or card gratuities, is a fair way to pay gratuities to our teams. All Tronc goes to you, shared between our waiting and non-waiting teams. You’ll get this at the end of each pay period, along with your normal pay and it’s one of the best perks about working in hospitality.
