Pellegrino started his career in Drammen FK, before moving to Bærum SK at the age of 22. Bærum played in the 2012 Norwegian First Division, was relegated that year, but won promotion again in 2013. In the summer of 2014, Pellegrino signed for top-tier club Lillestrøm SK. He made his league debut for the club in August 2014 against FK Haugesund. Following a tenure completely without league goals, he went on to Mjøndalen IF in the summer of 2015, but the club was relegated the same year. After failing to win promotion with Mjøndalen in 2016 and 2017, he achieved his childhood dream by signing a two-year contract with his home town Eliteserien club Strømsgodset on 20 November 2017.[1]

After being played mostly on the wing, he failed to succeed in Strømsgodset and was sold to Kristiansund in the 2019 season. There, he prospered with the team, and scored 33 goals in 39 league matches.
