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.

Welcome to Pilgrims, where pizza isn’t just food – it’s happiness. We create hospitality memories, moments of happiness between friends, family, and sometimes even strangers. We believe in delivering not only the best and traditional Neapolitan pizza but also unforgettable experiences. And that’s where you come in. As a Management Accountant, you’ll be part of the team at Pizza Base supporting the mission to make people happier, one pizza at a time.

ABOUT US

In 2012, founders Thom & James decided to quit their jobs and fly to Naples, pick up a three-wheel Piaggio Ape van and drive the 4,500km back to London, learning all they could about the true art of pizza making.

In 2023, they built an even more ridiculous pizza wagon – THE PIZZA VESPA - and took part in a 10-day trip, visiting the icons of the Napoli pizza scene, as well as suppliers and friends they have made since the original pilgrimage.

We’ve now got pizzerias in England, Wales, and Scotland. our very own pizza academy, and we’ve won a whole load of awards along the way too. As a BCORP we believe in doing the right things for the right reasons, and we’ve ambitious to better ourselves every day – for our team, our guests and the planet.
