Pizza Chef
Visa sponsorship
Hospitality · Melbourne, VIC, Australia · Full-Time · $65,000 - $70,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
If you can stretch a base by hand and read a wood-fired oven, this one is for you. An established hospitality business running Italian restaurants in Melbourne needs a full-time Pizza Chef at its pizzeria, and the start is immediate.
The job is hands-on. You make the dough, manage the fermentation, build Italian-style pizzas and bake them in the wood-fire. When the place is pumping, the pizza section is yours to run, and every pizza has to come out the same: properly cooked, good quality, well presented. They want someone reliable and organised who is serious about Italian food.
It is a long-term job with room to step up to senior or management. Sponsorship is available for the right candidates. Mzansi cooks who have run a busy oven know what this takes.
Show them what you can do before they meet you. Your CV should lead with your Pizza Chef years, your wood-fired oven work and how you handle dough. Knock a pizzaiolo CV together on Build AI CV and apply.
