Pasta Evangelists was founded seven years ago with the aim to become the authority in fresh pasta. We are on a mission to innovate and elevate pasta, a category worth £3.8bn but with little recent innovation.
Since launching our original pasta kit service in 2016, we have built a loyal following of British pasta lovers, our Evangelists, passionate about discovering pasta varieties and stories.
Backed by Barilla, the world's largest pasta company, we are proud to be the UK's biggest pasta brand by revenue and one of its fastest-growing startups. Our products are available online, through major retailers like Ocado & Amazon Fresh, at our Harrods Pasta Bar, and via Pasta Academy classes. We are also disrupting the UK pizza-centric Italian takeaway market with new concepts available on our website and delivery platforms, expanding rapidly across the UK, including new outlets in Scotland and Wales. Our pastificio in West London allows us to produce artisanal pasta and sauces at scale.
We seek exceptional professionals to lead our growth in this exciting phase.
