Pizza Pilgrims to open new Chelsea site
The Chelsea menu will feature the other Pizza Pilgrims' signature Neapolitan-style pizza, crafted from a 72-hour double-fermented dough
Pizza Pilgrims is set to open its new location in Chelsea on 18 November 2024.
The new 2,200 sq. ft. pizzeria is designed to feel like a beach bar straight out of the “sun-drenched” island of Capri.
The ground floor, with space for 40 guests features ornate tiles and striped parasols, with a focal point in the ‘Chelsea Flour Show’ arch made entirely of pizza flour bags.
The pizzeria’s ceiling is an ode to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Creation of Adam with the addition of a pizza shared between God and Adam.
Meanwhile, in the basement dining room, which seats 32, customers can find an Amalfi lemon grove under a pergola, where they can sip spritz. The lemon grove also transforms into Cinema Paradiso’– London’s first lemon grove cinema.
The private cinema room is also ideal for private dining and special events. A calendar of ticketed screenings will be shown regularly, details will be announced first to subscribers of the Pizza Pilgrims Chelsea newsletter.
The Chelsea menu will feature the other Pizza Pilgrims’ signature Neapolitan-style pizza, crafted from a 72-hour double-fermented dough.
The menu also includes Margherita, Fiorentina, and the Double Pepperoni and Spicy Honey alongside the more “esoteric” Pizza Pilgrims specialties: The 8-cheese pizza and the Carbonara with crunchy strands of al dente spaghetti. These dishes are paired with a curated selection of spritzes.
Thom and James Elliot, founders of Pizza Pilgrims, said: “Bringing Pizza Pilgrims to Chelsea feels like a real milestone for us. Our dad ran a pub on King’s Road back in the day, and the area has always pulled us in. We have now secured the perfect corner site to house our Capri-style pizzeria and bring the joy of Pizza Pilgrims, one of London’s most iconic roads. A true neighbourhood location – it’s a community we can’t wait to be a part of.”
