We’re looking for someone who already knows how to make pizza properly and is comfortable working with dough, stretching by hand and operating in a professional pizza kitchen. You do not need to come in ready to run the entire kitchen, but you do need the experience and confidence to be a strong second on the team.

• Operate and maintain the pizza station and oven area
• Follow food-safety, sanitation and kitchen procedures
• Keep your station clean and organized throughout the shift
• Assist with receiving, storage, inventory and waste control
• Support opening and closing kitchen procedures
• Help maintain a positive and welcoming environment for guests and coworkers

• Minimum 2 years of professional pizza-making experience required
• Hands-on dough handling and stretching experience required
• Comfortable working around commercial pizza ovens and high heat
• Strong understanding of kitchen cleanliness and food safety
• Able to work efficiently and stay organized during busy service
• Consistent, dependable and able to follow established recipes and standards
