  • Assist with prep, ordering, and inventory as needed.

Qualifications:
  • Minimum 3+ years experience making Neapolitan-style pizza in a professional kitchen.
  • Strong knowledge of dough hydration, fermentation, and flour types.
  • Experience with wood-fired ovens strongly preferred.

  • Team-oriented mindset with strong communication skills.
  • Availability for nights, weekends, and holidays.

What We Offer:

  • High-volume, respected restaurant environment.
  • Growth opportunities within the company.
