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 from Latteria Sorrentina, San Marzano tomatos from Solania in the Vesuvio region of Campania!

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.
