Merry Crustmas! Pizza Pilgrims unveil ragu-topped festive pizza, an indulgent new dessert and signature sharing menus
This Christmas, Pizza Pilgrims are turning up the festive cheer the best way they know how… with dough, cheese and plenty of good times. Expect pizzas piled high, tables full of friends, and a line-up of limited-edition specials perfect for sharing (and a little festive showing off). Forget the traditional turkey dinner – this is Christmas, Neapolitan style. Onin.London attended the Merry Crustmas launch event and had an absolutely brilliant time. The atmosphere was buzzing, the team was as welcoming as ever, and every dish, from the rich ragu pizza to the indulgent Pistachio Babamisu was a festive hit. We got tot create our own wreathes and get involved in making our own Pizzas in the master class and loved every second.

What are the Festive Menu Highlights?
Well these were created by co-founder James Elliot and the Pizza Pilgrims team and are a real treat for pizza lovers:
- All I Want for Christmas is Ragu – slow-cooked Neapolitan beef ragu meets nduja and sausage meatballs, San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte, and parmesan for a proper festive showstopper.
- Pistachio Babamisu – a playful twist on the classic rum baba with layers of mascarpone cream, pistachio sauce and a generous sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
Both are available from 3rd November across all UK pizzerias, as well as via click & collect and Deliveroo.
Pizza Pilgrims’ Festive Pilgrimage menus also make Christmas parties simple and fun. There’s no need for pre-orders, just bring your crew and dig in. From quick, cheerful lunches to indulgent family-style feasts with antipasti, sides, unlimited crust dippers and dessert, there’s something for every celebration. Prices start from £25 per person.
The festive spirit also continues beyond the table with:
- Dough It Yourself Masterclasses in London, Manchester and Edinburgh — perfect for team-building or as a thoughtful gift.
- Private Hire Spaces including Chelsea’s Cinema Paradiso, Canary Wharf’s Pizza Playground, Nottingham’s Dramattic space and Brighton’s five-a-side pitch — for parties with a twist.
- Pizza Napoli, the new cookbook from founders Thom and James Elliot (£28, Quadrille), sharing authentic recipes, stories and secrets from Naples.
- Masterclass Vouchers, ideal for pizza enthusiasts wanting to learn the craft hands-on.
In short: Pizza Pilgrims’ Merry Crustmas is the ultimate celebration of food, fun, and friendship… served with a hearty slice of Neapolitan joy.
