Pizza Pilgrims

Getting started on your sustainability journey can be daunting. Thom Elliot, Founder & CEO of Pizza Pilgrims, shares his inspiring journey from the early days when sustainability wasn't a priority for the business, to today, when Pizza Pilgrims has achieved B-Corp status. 🌱 💚 What motivated them? What were the essential steps that helped them transform? How has it helped their brand stand out? What strategies have they adopted to manage risks in their supply chain? How have they worked with others to achieve their sustainability goals? What innovations have they used to reduce their carbon footprint?

These 'Very Important Pilgrims' are flying out to Italy today for a wine tour for the next few days. Visiting the ILauri wine estate in Abruzzo, tasting various wines served in Pilgrims across the UK. It's a hard job, but someones got to do it hey 😜 !?

#bettereveryday 1 year ago this week we launched a new menu. Massive change and gargantuan challenge for our teams to roll out, which they passed with almost flawless execution 🔥🍕💚 One of the very very few flaws, our then newest addition to the salad line up, the cucumber “schiaffo” 🥒 😋 - gave us some minor drama and quizzical brows 🤨 We kept at it. Week after week with minor adjustments and changes. ✅☑️ and though we were making progress, it felt like steps forward and backwards… 🤯🔫 52 weeks on, it’s all smiles for Domenico and I when this afternoon we have a schiaffo on Pizza Pilgrims Dean St… and that’s before we even get to the pizza! 🙌🏆🍕💚 #bettereveryday #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #pizza #chef #food #goodfood

It's Dough Down season 🍕 🥊 The battle of Pizza Pilgrims Head Chefs, competing for their very own pizza on the menu. Big up Davide Riccio, Aleks Kmiec & Bledi Jahjaga for making this years competition bigger than ever. We're all very excited for the finals on the 30th. I've been lucky enough to be invited to be one of the judges for the pre-finals, eating my way through 25 pizzas. Nom nom nom 🤤 . Here's a video of last years event, with Andrea taking home the trophy. Get ready to rumble!

For Julys guest pizza we’ve teamed up with our old pal and former Pilgrims OG, Elliot Cunningham, who’s (literally) been smashing it at his own restaurant, Lagom. We’re huge fans of Elliot’s smash burger, which has earned rave reviews across the London food scene. Together we bring you something special- the ultimate burger pizza. It’s a winning combo of our 48-hour proved, fluffy crusted base and fior di latte topped with dry-aged Dexter ground beef at 60/40 meat to fat ratio. Finished with a take on the subtle hot and sweet mustardy May and crisp, tangy vinegar slaw that the lagom smash burger is known for. Head to your nearest Pilgrims and let us know what you think 🫶

Not only has our pizzeria in Canary Wharf been full of vibes this week following it's recent spruce up. There was also celebrations for Kamil, who got promoted to Assistant General Manager! He's been an absolute star, not only focussing on his training for his promotion but also the pizzeria teams training ahead of our re-opening. A shout out to Kamil, Alessandra, Allesandro and the rest of our Canary Wharf team. Proper Happiness!

Episode 1 complete ✅ In our last team feedback survey, 37% of our teams said they'd like to learn more about what BCORP is, and how it impacts them working at Pilgrims. So today myself, Thom Elliot, and Jonathan Lockett launched episode 1 of our live series for everyone at Pizza Pilgrims - 'What is BCORP and how it aligns with our purpose'. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series where we'll talk about how it'll impact our pizzerias, the community, our supply chain, our customers, the planet and our people. #bcorp
