Pizza Pilgrims is closing out the year by doing what it does best: opening more places to eat pizza. After spending the past year expanding across the UK and publishing their latest cookbook, 'Pizza Napoli', the brothers are heading back to where it all started. Their original Soho pizzeria is reopening after a complete revamp, and they are launching a brand-new restaurant on Pentonville Road in King's Cross.
The King's Cross site is up first, and it covers a whopping two floors with 92 seats. There's a full week of soft launch, with deals that will draw in anyone happy to queue for a bargain (50% off from 1-5 December), plus a generous giveaway of 1,000 slices.
The Soho spot follows straight after with a redesigned layout that gives the original restaurant more room to be creative. The lighting is warm, with bold colour choices and a downstairs booth that has been built like a train carriage, a detail inspired by the brothers' travelling through Italy when they were planning their earliest menus.
What stays the same across both restaurants is the pizza. The dough still takes 72 hours to ferment, and the toppings stick to our favourites, like margherita and double pepperoni with spicy honey. There will also be rotating specials that switch things up if you want something different.
Pizza Pilgrims King's Cross opens on 8 December. The Soho original will follow the next day and reopen on 9 December.
