Assist the pizzaiolo on the line during service

Make starters and desserts to recipe and spec

Maintain a spotless kitchen: dishes, surfaces, floors, walls, and equipment

Receive deliveries, rotate stock, and organize the walk-in and dry storage

Move ingredients from storage to the line as needed

Follow all food safety and hygiene standards without compromise

What We're Looking For

Reliable, energetic, and a strong team player

Comfortable on your feet for full shifts in a hot, fast-paced kitchen

Solid time management and ability to work cleanly under pressure

Clear communicator who takes direction well and asks good questions

Food Handler Certification is preferred (we'll help you get certified if you don't have it)

Prior kitchen experience is a bonus but not required — attitude matters more than résumé

Competitive hourly pay

Free staff meals on shift

Uniform provided
