10 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.
As a Restaurant General Manager, you’ll be a specialist in creating lasting pizza memories and amazing pizzeria vibes, ensuring every guest leaves with a full belly and already planning their next visit. Your responsibilities will include:
P&L Management
Recruitment and Internal Development
Stock Management
Team Training
H&S, Food Quality & Audit Management
Customer Feedback
Business Planning & Reporting
While skills are important, representing our values is just as crucial:
‘Push Yourself’ - Learning new skills and stepping out of your comfort zone helps us improve as a team.
‘Be Yourself’ - Bring your own personality to work. Your hair color is yours, not ours. We think tattoos are cool, and 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 an industry we love, and we want every Pilgrim to create happiness for each other and have fun at work.
