Pizza Pilgrims, Neapolitan pizzeria in Tower Hamlets, England
Pizza Pilgrims is a Neapolitan pizzeria in Tower Hamlets that makes traditional pizzas using imported Italian flour and San Marzano tomatoes. The oven produces pizzas with a light, airy crust thanks to the high baking temperature used in the cooking process.
The pizzeria was founded in 2012 by two brothers who traveled through Italy to learn authentic pizza-making from local experts. Their experience in Italy shapes how pizzas are made here today.
The name reflects the founders' journey as pilgrims seeking to learn pizza-making from Italian masters. This quest for authenticity remains visible in how staff approach each pizza with care and respect for tradition.
The restaurant opens at midday and closes at 10:00 PM, with later closing times from Wednesday to Saturday. Group reservations are possible for tables of six or more.
The dough is prepared using a special double-fermentation method that gives the pizza an unusually light and chewy texture. This technique is a hallmark of Naples and sets these pizzas apart from other styles.
