Overview
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!
Role
As a waiter, you’ll be a specialist in creating lasting pizza memories and a great pizzeria vibe for every guest. You’ll be greeting guests, taking orders, serving pizzas, and keeping the pizzeria clean and safe.
Values
Whilst skills are important, representing our values is just as important too. These shape our team culture.
* Push Yourself – we believe learning new skills and stepping outside your comfort zone helps us improve as a team.
* Be Yourself – you can bring your own personality to work. Your hair colour is yours, not ours. Tattoos are cool. We love hearing about your interests outside of work.
* Respect Others – everyone is welcome at Pilgrims and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where people feel they belong.
* Enjoy Yourself – hospitality is a field we love, and we want every Pilgrim to create happiness for each other and to have fun at work.
