About the Role
In 2012, Thom & James drove a Piaggio ape Tuk Tuk all the way from Sicily to London on a '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 before opening their first actual pizzeria on Dean Street. If you think that sounds as ridiculously cool as we do, and you love pizza, then read on… Nowadays we have over 20 award-winning pizzerias across the UK, our own Pizza Academy where we run training workshops every day, and we are a BCORP - something we’re extremely proud of achieving. We pride ourselves on using the best ingredients from Naples including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielle, to make the best Neapolitan pizza every day. 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! We work hard because we think pizza makes people happier. As an Assistant Manager you’ll be a specialist in creating lasting pizza memories and amazing pizzeria vibes, ensuring every guest leaves with a full belly and already planning their next visit. Your responsibilities will include Health & Safety, creating rotas, stock management, team meetings, training & coaching, food quality, and customer feedback. We also want to hear your ideas on how we can introduce more people to dine with Pilgrims. Representing our values is as important as skills, as they shape our team culture: ‘Push Yourself’ to learn new skills and grow, ‘Be Yourself’ by bringing your own personality to work, ‘Respect Others’ to create an inclusive environment, and ‘Enjoy Yourself’ because hospitality is an industry we love and want everyone to have fun at work. What's in it for you? Serious career development with 4 new pizzerias opening this year and next. On top of the standard 28 days holiday, you will get an extra day for every year you work with us (up to 5 years). After 5 years, you receive a paid 4-week sabbatical on top of your 33 days holiday. Additional perks include an extra “Happiness Day” holiday, team trips to Naples and beyond, a tasty referral bonus, free food and espresso every day, free after-work drinks, two large company-wide parties annually, and free pizza for you and up to 3 friends when visiting any Pizza Pilgrims outside of work hours. If you’ve read this far, we might be a perfect match. Click apply and one of the team will reach out to you soon.
