Full-time preferred; strong part-time candidates considered

Pizza Nell is a new neighbourhood pizza stand opening in Midtown Toronto, and we’re looking for an experienced Pizza Cook / Pizzaiolo to join our founding kitchen team.

You’ll work under our Lead Pizzaiolo, helping execute Pizza Nell’s recipes, dough standards, prep systems and service expectations consistently from day one.

This is not an entry-level kitchen role. We’re looking for someone who already has real pizza-making experience, is confident handling and stretching dough by hand, and can be a dependable second in a professional kitchen.

Just as important, Pizza Nell is a small neighbourhood shop where everyone contributes to the guest experience. A friendly, respectful and positive attitude toward customers and teammates is non-negotiable.

- Operate and maintain the pizza station and oven area
- Follow food-safety, sanitation and kitchen procedures
- Keep your station clean and organized throughout the shift
- Assist with receiving, storage, inventory and waste control
- Support opening and closing kitchen procedures
- Help maintain a positive, welcoming workplace for guests and coworkers

- Hands-on dough handling and stretching experience required
- Comfortable working around commercial pizza ovens and high heat
- Strong understanding of kitchen cleanliness and food safety
- Able to work efficiently and stay organized during busy service
- Consistent, dependable and able to follow established recipes and standards
- Comfortable taking direction from and working closely with the Lead Pizzaiolo
- Friendly, respectful and professional with customers and coworkers
- Takes pride in keeping the kitchen clean and organized without constant reminders
- Weekend availability preferred
- Must be legally entitled to work in Canada
- Pizza Nell is not able to provide employer sponsorship or support a work permit application for this position

- Comfortable working around hot ovens and commercial kitchen equipment
- Able to bend, reach and move throughout the kitchen
- Able to safely lift and move standard kitchen supplies, ingredients and flour bags as required

Schedule Pizza Nell’s planned operating hours are 11:00 AM–9:00 PM, 7 days a week.
