Trainee Kitchen Team

Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of working in a kitchen, or maybe you’re looking for a career change, or a chance to learn to toss pizza like a pro. Whatever your background, if you join us we can open up new opportunities, teach you fresh skills and, with the help of our expert trainers, help you get to grips with our award winning pizzas.

We offer fully paid training, the chance to learn all areas of our kitchen to find the best place for you, and accredited qualifications.

We’re proud of every one of our team members, and we value the unique story that each of us brings. Our diversity makes us stronger, and we believe that sharing and supporting what matters to us helps to break down the barriers that stop us all from truly belonging and connecting. Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of our business and are valued by our teams, customers and suppliers. PizzaExpress and Milano is a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs. As such, we assess each application on the aptitude to do the job and nothing else.
