Head Pizzaiolo - Fatto a Mano Covent Garden - London

Ciao, If you love the buzz of a busy restaurant. If you know your team comes before your ego. If you're the sort of person who'll jump on the pass, greet customers at the door, run food, wash dishes or clean the toilets because the team needs you... Keep reading. We recognise this probably isn't the job for everyone. If you're looking for somewhere to sit in the office checking spreadsheets all day... This probably isn't for you.

It's this people-first approach that has helped us grow from one small Brighton pizzeria into an independent business across London and Brighton.

What experiences have shaped the manager you've become? We're looking for someone who's still curious, still learning and still passionate about building great teams and creating memorable experiences for customers.
