An Italian Pizza Chef is responsible for preparing authentic Italian-style pizzas, using traditional recipes and techniques. They handle dough preparation, sauce making, ingredient selection, and oven operation to achieve high-quality, flavorful pizzas. Additionally, they ensure kitchen cleanliness, maintain food safety standards, and may create new recipes based on regional Italian flavors. This role requires skill in dough stretching, baking, and balancing flavors to deliver an authentic Italian pizza experience.
Italian Pizza Chefs in bustling restaurants often manage high order volumes, requiring efficient multitasking and consistent attention to quality under pressure. Balancing the proper fermentation of dough, precise timing for baking, and maintaining ingredient freshness are ongoing challenges. Additionally, coordinating with kitchen staff and front-of-house teams is vital for smooth operations during peak hours. Developing strong organizational skills and adaptability can help new chefs excel in this dynamic environment.
To succeed as an Italian Pizza Chef, you need expertise in dough preparation, pizza baking techniques, ingredient selection, and relevant culinary training or certification. Familiarity with commercial ovens, dough mixers, hand-stretching tools, and adherence to hygiene and safety standards is essential. Creativity, attention to detail, time management, and team communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These abilities ensure consistently high-quality pizzas, efficient kitchen operations, and a positive customer dining experience.

Now Hiring Pizza Makers for nights and weekends.
Ed and Margie Imo began their journey to St. Louis pizza history as a pair of young, hardworking St. Louisians who fell in love, started a family and dreamt of owning their own home.
As devoted Catholics, they would wait until 11:30 every Friday night to order a meat-topped pizza from one of the many Italian restaurants near their home on The Hill in St. Louis. After years of picking up their pizzas safely after midnight, a simple idea launched a phenomenon…
“Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would deliver the pizza to us?”
They opened their first pizza parlor in 1964 at Thurman and Shaw Avenues in St. Louis. It was open evenings only, offering pick-up and delivery. Ed continued to work as a tile setter, slicing squares of linoleum by day and pizza by night. Their first kitchen consisted of a used oven, two refrigerators and a stove they purchased for $75.
With no experience in retail and little experience in cooking, the Imos fueled their vision with stamina and determination. They hired a pizza chef to prepare the South St. Louis-style pizza they loved, using Provel®® cheese instead of mozzarella on that famous thin crust. Marge answered the phone and prepped the salads, and the pair used an old tackle box as their first cash register.
People all around the neighborhood were simply amazed that they could have dinner delivered right to their door, and the idea didn’t take long to catch on. Nine months after opening the first store, they opened another, and another…and then another. By 1985 they had 30 stores and opened up the business to franchisers.
The children of Ed and Marge are now running the day to day operations of Imo’s and they are poised for rapid growth. This is due to the recent relocation of their franchise operation to a new 72,000 square foot warehouse and 10,000 square foot office at the new headquarter at 17th and Delmar in downtown St. Louis. The 96 stores should increase to well over 100 in the next year.
