  • Maintain a clean, organized prep and cook station in compliance with health codes

  • Rotate and manage dough proofing schedules (bulk fermentation, balling, cold/room temp proofing)

  • Communicate with kitchen and front-of-house staff to manage order flow during rushes

  • Restock and prep ingredients (sauces, cheeses, toppings) as needed

  • Follow all food safety, sanitation, and allergen handling protocols

Required Qualifications

  • Prior experience as a pizza maker, pizzaiolo, or similar kitchen role preferred

  • Demonstrated ability to hand-stretch dough consistently under time pressure

  • Understanding of dough handling gluten development, proofing stages, and how temperature/humidity affect workability

  • Ability to work standing for extended periods and lift up to 2550 lbs

  • Comfortable working in a hot, fast-paced kitchen environment

  • Food handler's certification (or willingness to obtain one)

  • Strong teamwork and communication skills

  • Flexible availability, including evenings/weekends/holidays

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with high-hydration or Neapolitan-style dough

  • Wood-fired or deck oven experience

  • Formal culinary training or apprenticeship

Physical Requirements

  • Extended standing, reaching, and repetitive hand/wrist motion (stretching, tossing)

  • Exposure to high heat near ovens

  • Lifting dough tubs, flour bags, and supply boxes
