Second Chef

We know you’ve read a lot of job ads already, so we’ll get to the point!

Pizza Pilgrims is a Multi award-winning group of pizzerias started by brothers Thom and 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 London with an oven in the back of the van and have grown steadily into one of the UK’s most respected Neapolitan pizza companies.

We now have pizzerias across London, Brighton and Oxford that focus on making the best Neapolitan pizza every day. We only use the best ingredients from Naples including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielle and more!
