About the Role
14 years ago Thom & James drove 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 before opening their first pizzeria on Dean Street. Today, Pizza Pilgrims has over 20 award-winning pizzerias across the UK and its own Pizza Academy running daily training workshops. As a BCORP, the company is proud to uphold high standards of social and environmental performance.

We pride ourselves on using the best ingredients from Naples including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielle to make authentic Neapolitan pizzas every day.
