The popular London-based pizzeria chain is heading north-west, with a flagship site to open in Deansgate later this year.

Pizza Pilgrims was launched – and named – when a couple of friends quit their jobs and drove all the way from Italy to London in a tiny three-wheel van, learning everything they could about the timeless art of making authentic pizzas along the way. Today, the award-winning group numbers more than two dozen branches in London and other UK cities, and in 2025, they're finally bringing their signature Neapolitan crust and creative toppings to Manchester.

Pizza Pilgrims Manchester will launch in Deansgate, taking over the former La Viña tapas bar. Spread across two floors, the new pizzeria will serve as the group's north-west flagship and host a dedicated space for their popular pizza-making masterclasses as well. An exact launch date is still to be confirmed – we'll keep you posted.
