Pizza Pilgrims
From ~£10 per pizza
Indicative price at the time of review.
Founded in London in 2012, Pizza Pilgrims makes slow-proved Neapolitan pizza across more than 15 London branches (20-plus listed) from Soho and Covent Garden to Camden, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf and London Bridge, and 50 Top Pizza's 2025 World Artisan Pizza Chains list ranks it among the world's top 10 and the highest-placed UK-founded chain. It doesn't hit the peak quality of our top three, but it is by far the most accessible and consistent option here: easy to book, open all day and genuinely group-friendly, with pizzas from around £10 (indicative), feasting menus from about £25 per head (indicative) and a student margherita around £7.50 (indicative). Choose it over the specialists above when convenience, price and a guaranteed table matter more than chasing the single best pie - just note details vary by branch.
