Big Mamma Group is an Italian restaurant company founded in 2015 by Tigrane Seydoux and Victor Lugger with one simple dream: changing people's lives with pizza. In the UK & Ireland, that dream lives in 9 restaurants across 4 cities: Gloria, Ave Mario, Circolo Popolare, Barbarella, Carlotta and Jacuzzi in London, Circolo Popolare in Manchester, La Bellezza in Birmingham, and Gloria in Dublin. This October, we're opening EDMONDO, right in the heart of Bank – our seventh restaurant in London, and our very first in the City.

We're now looking for a passionate Commis Chef to join our team from day one.
