What to Expect at Pizza Pilgrims Birmingham
An open kitchen where you can watch the team stretch dough and build pizzas. Cold beers, cocktails and spritzes. A room designed to feel like you’ve wandered into the streets of Napoli, which is exactly where this whole thing started.
Pizza Pilgrims was built on a road trip. In 2012, founders Thom and James quit their jobs, flew to the toe of Italy, picked up a three-wheel Piaggio van and drove 4,500km back to London, learning everything they could about authentic Neapolitan pizza along the way. That obsession is what’s on the plate every day at every one of our pizzerias, and it’s what’s on the plate in Birmingham.
The Pizza
It starts with the dough. Our Birmingham pizzeria uses a 72-hour double-fermented dough, slow-proved to develop flavour, lightness and that characteristic chew that makes a great Neapolitan pizza so satisfying to eat. On top goes San Marzano tomato DOP, fior di latte mozzarella from Campania and ingredients sourced directly from Italy where it counts. The whole thing goes in at 500°C.
The result is a crust that’s light, pillowy and dalmatian-spotted with char, just like they make it in Naples. The classics are here: the Margherita (simple, soulful, genuinely brilliant), the Double Pepperoni & Spicy Honey (a fan favourite for good reason). And then there are the signatures that keep people talking: the Carbonara pizza, topped with crispy guanciale, Pecorino Romano, black pepper, egg yolk and actual al dente spaghetti. The 8 Cheese, outrageous by design. The Mushroom & Truffle, earthy and creamy and deeply satisfying.
Good For…
Lingering lunches between meetings. Quick bites before a train. Group dinners where everyone has different opinions (the menu handles it). Birthdays, work dos, date nights and casual Tuesday evenings that turn into something better than planned.
For groups of 8 or more, feasting menus start from £25 per person, a brilliant way to let everyone try a bit of everything. Walk-ins are welcome and we keep most of the space available for them, but bookings are available if you’d rather plan ahead.
Vegan options, halal options and dog-friendly too. Easy disabled access throughout. Pizza really is for everyone.
Pizza in Birmingham
Pizza Pilgrims Birmingham sits in the heart of Grand Central, which makes it genuinely easy to fit into your day. Come before a show, after a meeting, on a shopping trip or straight off a train. Pizza in Birmingham doesn’t need to be a whole production. Sometimes it’s just the thing.
If you’re searching for great pizza in Birmingham, here’s what you’ll find at Pizza Pilgrims: 72-hour double-fermented dough, DOP-certified ingredients sourced from Italy and a kitchen that takes the craft seriously. We’ve been making Neapolitan pizza this way since 2012, not because it’s the easy route, but because it genuinely makes better pizza. Birmingham is a city we’ve been keen to be part of and we hope the pizza shows why we care so much about getting it right.
Click & Collect is available through pizzapilgrims.orderswift.com if you’d rather take your pizza to go. Delivery is also available through the usual platforms.

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Birmingham
Neapolitan pizza is a protected tradition, specific dough, specific ingredients, specific oven temperatures. Pizza Pilgrims takes all of that seriously. The ’00’ flour comes from the Caputo mill in Naples. The tomatoes are San Marzano DOP. The mozzarella is Campanian fior di latte. The ovens run at 500°C. It’s the real thing, made with the kind of care that comes from actually going to learn it properly at the source.
