Find Your Fuel: Join Our Friendly Team at PizzaExpress
Our Vision: Where those who love pizza can be their true self.
At PizzaExpress, we’ve always believed that the best pizzas—like the best people—are authentic. Since 1965, we’ve been bringing the taste ofItaly to the UK and beyond, growing into a multichannel, international brand. But here’s what sets us apart: our people. You don’t just turn up for a paycheck—you bring your personality, passion, and drive to every shift. We call it "being your true self," and we work hard to bring that sprinkle of magic to our restaurants, too.
🍕 Who You’ll Be Working For
We’re more than just pizza (well, not just—we actually really love pizza). Our culture thrives on inclusivity, respect, and creativity, where every voice matters:
- A place where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.
- Fair recognition: We assess each candidate based on aptitude for the role—nothing else.
- Passion for people: Our success is yours, and yours is ours.
If you love pizza, love people, and want a role that’s more like a community than just another job, this could be your spot.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
