Job Description

Rosati's Pizza is a renowned Chicago-based, family-owned Italian food and pizza restaurant established in 1964 by Dick, Ron, and Al Rosati. With a rich heritage and deep-rooted family values, Rosati's has earned the reputation of being 'Chicago's Greatest Thin Crust Pizza' company. The brand is well-known across the Chicago suburbs and beyond, with generations of Midwesterners growing up enjoying their authentic Italian food. Rosati's Pizza is built on pillars of honesty, work ethic, and teamwork, fostering a culture where passion runs deep for the food, team members, and customers alike. The company prides itself on delivering high-quality ingredients, superior customer service, and unwavering reliability, which has allowed it to grow significantly and maintain a highly respected presence in the food service industry.

Rosati's specializes in authentic Chicago-style pizza varieties including traditional thin crust, double dough, and Chicago-style deep dish, all prepared with genuine care following family recipes. Most locations are franchised and locally owned by entrepreneurial operators, offering a personalized and community-focused approach to each restaurant's operation. The brand creates a positive and productive working environment, recognizing that great customer service starts with a satisfied and motivated team. Job opportunities range across different restaurant areas such as front-of-house roles, back-of-house kitchen staff, and leadership positions. Rosati's commitment to a team-oriented and family-like culture makes it an ideal workplace for those passionate about food and service, while providing excellent career development prospects.

This particular role is for a Pizza Cook, a vital part of the kitchen staff, responsible for preparing delicious pizzas following the Rosati family recipes. The position is ideal for individuals seeking to start or grow their restaurant career, offering comprehensive training and on-the-job experience. While previous restaurant experience is preferred, it is not required, as the company provides all necessary training. The Pizza Cook will be actively involved in making pizzas from the menu as well as customized orders. This role requires multitasking and the ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where team support and hustle are key. Responsibilities include baking various types of dough, performing line-cook tasks, monitoring food stock, and maintaining cleanliness and sterilization of equipment and workstations.

Rosati's Pizza strives to foster an inviting workplace where employees can grow professionally and personally. The company offers competitive hourly wages along with benefits such as 401(k) plans with matching contributions, employee discounts, free uniforms, and ongoing training and development. This reflects the company's dedication to supporting its employees not just in their roles, but in their overall career trajectories and well-being. Joining Rosati's Pizza means becoming part of a passionate and supportive team that values tradition, quality, and growth. Due to franchising, the hiring process and decisions are handled directly by franchised operators, ensuring that each location cultivates its own unique team culture while upholding the brand's standards.
