Assistant Pizza Manager

ASSISTANT PIZZA MANAGER - THE PIZZERIA
Bring the Heat. Bring the Heart. Be a Part of Something Real.

Are you someone who knows their way around a pizza oven and a dining room? Can you sling pies with precision, charm a full dining room, and lead a team with purpose and personality? If you're nodding yes and maybe even tossing dough in your head as you read this-we want to meet you.

We're on the hunt for an Assistant Pizza Manager who's worked the line, worked the floor, and is now ready to help lead a high-energy crew into our next chapter of growth. This person thrives in a fast-paced environment, is obsessed with quality and service, and loves building team culture just as much as they love pulling a perfectly charred pie out of a deck oven.

About Us
We're not your average slice shop. We're The PIZZERIA-a growing hospitality brand on a mission to elevate, recreate, and disrupt what's become a pretty stale pizza scene.

To us, pizza is personal. Hospitality is an art. And creating unforgettable guest experiences is the heartbeat of everything we do. We don't just serve food-we serve feelings. Our spaces are bright, coastal, and full of energy. Our brand? A little wild, deeply human, and all heart.

Who You Are
You've spent time both on the line and out on the floor-and you're comfortable switching hats when the moment calls for it. You've mastered the flow of a Friday night rush and know how to keep a team calm, confident, and cranking. You're also someone who genuinely loves people and has no problem jumping in wherever needed to make the shift successful.

You bring:

• Solid pizza-making experience (oven skills required-bonus points for hand-tossed dough mastery)

• Front-of-house hospitality chops-you've led a dining room and made guests feel like family

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to coach and motivate

• A high level of personal accountability, hustle, and humility

• A love for music, good vibes, and team wins

Your Role
You'll help oversee the daily operations of our restaurant-splitting your time between the kitchen and the dining room. You'll lead the team by example, ensuring smooth shifts, happy guests, and consistently high-quality product. You'll work closely with the General Manager to hit goals, shape team culture, and make the shop a place people are proud to work in and dine at.
