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 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, we've got our own Pizza Academy where we run training workshops every day, and we're also a BCORP - something we're extremely proud about 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 a Kitchen Porter, you'll be supporting the kitchen team in food prep and ensuring all kitchen equipment, plates, cutlery, and glasses are clean and ready for a smooth shift. There'll be loads of opportunities to take on other tasks around the kitchen too. Whilst skills are important, representing our values is just as important too.

Don't take our word for it. In our most recent 'happiness survey' (team feedback survey)... • Over 200 people said the thing they love most about working at Pilgrims is their team., • Over 100 people said their favourite pizza perk was the amount of free pizza they get., • And nearly 150 people said they love the culture, development opportunities and pizza quality at Pilgrims.
