About Pizza Pilgrims

Pizza Pilgrims 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. Pizza Pilgrims started on 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.. . At Pizza Pilgrims, we aspire to create an inclusive environment where everyone can be themselves, feel genuinely cared for and have equal opportunities for growth and progression. We are committed to building a diverse team that includes and respects a variety of voices, identities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives; which creates proper happiness, just like our pizzas do!
