Executive Chef

We’re looking for a Head Chef who’s excited to help build something from the ground up — from developing operations to building a kitchen team and setting the tone for day one.

You do not need previous pizza experience — what matters most is leadership, organization, a passion for great food, and the drive to build an amazing team and culture.

What You’ll Do

Lead all kitchen operations during pre-opening, opening, and ongoing service

Work with ownership on recipes, procedures, and kitchen systems

Hire, train, and mentor a strong BOH team

Create a positive, consistent, and respectful kitchen culture

Set daily standards around prep, sanitation, consistency, and execution

Manage ordering, inventory, vendor relationships, and food cost

Ensure the kitchen is organized, efficient, and ready for growth

Maintain high-quality food while balancing speed and volume

Collaborate on menu development (pizza experience

not required — we’ll learn together)

What We’re Looking For

Strong leadership skills and the ability to inspire a team

A hands-on operator who isn’t afraid to jump in and solve problems

Someone who loves building systems and dialing in consistency

Excitement to learn pizza

Excellent communication and training ability

Positive attitude — no ego, no drama, all team

Experience running a kitchen (Sous Chef, CDC, or current Head Chef level)

Comfort with opening processes, or eagerness to learn them

Ability to maintain high standards in a fast-paced environment

What We Offer

Competitive salary + performance-based incentives

Opportunity to help shape a new brand from day one

Creative input in menu development and operational systems

A respectful, supportive workplace built around teamwork

Growth opportunities as we expand

Paid time off and benefits (customize as needed)

Who This Role Is Perfect For

A chef who wants to build something , not just run someone else’s kitchen

A leader who loves coaching, developing, and elevating their team

Someone excited by the challenge and opportunity of an opening

A chef who enjoys pizza, bread, dough, or learning new skills

A culture-builder who believes kitchens run best with positivity and accountability
