PIZZA PEOPLE
Our mission is to make people happier one pizza at a time.
Thom and James started their pilgrimage by driving a Piaggio Ape around Naples for six weeks learning how to make pizza from some of the best Neapolitan pizza chefs. If you think that sounds as ridiculously cool as we do, then you'll fit right in here.
About Pizza Pilgrims
Pizza Pilgrims serve slow proved Neapolitan pizza in our pizzerias, at events across the UK and in Pizza in the Post. All of our dough is made fresh, daily, sourcing the best ingredients Italy has to offer in order to bring you the best possible pizza base going. As any Neapolitan will tell you – it’s all about the crust.
