Pizzaiolo
Full-time
The Willowick
Overview
We’re seeking a Pizzaiolo—not just a pizza cook —to lead the execution of our wood-fired pizza program. This role is central to our identity and daily success. You will be the steward of dough, fire, and consistency, working closely with ownership to bring a Neapolitan-inspired menu to life in a high-design, community-driven space.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who takes pride in craft, repetition, and calm execution—especially during peak service.
This is an hourly position with overtime , complemented by monthly or quarterly performance bonuses tied to food cost (COGS) and revenue targets.
Initial launch schedule: 50–60 hours/week supporting lunch and dinner service Tuesday–Sunday, with hours expected to normalize as operations stabilize.
What You’ll Do Pizza & Dough Execution- Prepare, ferment, portion, and stretch dough to house standards
- Execute pizzas consistently in a high-temperature wood/gas oven
- Manage bake times, rotation, and fire control during service
- Maintain quality across lunch, dinner, and peak rushes
- Uphold recipes, specs, and plating standards in tandem with ownership
- Flag issues early (dough performance, ingredients, oven behavior)
- Contribute feedback on workflow, timing, and throughput
- Support seasonal menu development (collaborative, not solo)
- Set the tone on the pizza station: calm, clean, organized
- Train and guide pizza assistants and prep staff
- Communicate clearly with FOH and expo during service
- Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient workstation
- Follow food safety and sanitation standards
- Track dough usage and minimize waste
- Respect systems, schedules, and prep timelines
A craft-forward, respected role with room to grow alongside the business.
Requirements- 2+ years hands-on pizza experience (wood-fired or high-temp preferred)
- Comfortable working fast without cutting corners
- Calm under pressure; pride in repetition and consistency
- Coachable, detail-oriented, and open to refinement
- Respects ownership vision and works within a structured system
- Reliable, prepared, and accountable
- Dough fermentation knowledge
- Experience with Neapolitan or Neo-Neapolitan styles
- Interest in mentoring and developing future pizzaiolo team members
