We've expanded our presence to London and various other global locations, spreading the authentic taste of Italy to pizza enthusiasts worldwide. — Who are we? In the heart of Naples, the Condurro family began what would become a long history of great pizza producers in 1870. Michele Condurro, Salvatore's son, mastered the family art of pizza making, which he acquired from the legendary Torre Annunziata masters who were professionals in the preparation and kneading of pizza dough, as well as the cooking of pizza. Michele founded his first pizzeria in 1906 on the current location of Ascalesi Hospital, which required the pizzeria to relocate due to construction. The pizzeria was relocated to its current home on Via Cesare Sersale in 1930, which has been named "the sacred temple of pizza" by specialists and journalists... Since then, five generations of master pizza makers have carried on the work of the founder, respecting the tradition and being faithful to Michele’s instructions: there are only two types of Neapolitan Pizza, the “Marinara” and the “Margherita”; and no “junk” should be used in making the pizza that could alter its world-famous genuineness and taste. The secret of Da Michele’s enduring success is in the use of natural ingredients, and of an old, traditional, time-tested method of leavening pizza dough. Job Type: Full-time Pay: £15-£18 per hour Expected hours: 30 – 48 per week Benefits: Company pension Discounted or free food Employee discount Flexible language requirement: English not required Schedule: Every weekend Monday to Friday Work Location: In person
