Job Description

Roberta's is a renowned restaurant brand that originated in Brooklyn, New York, in 2008. Since its inception, Roberta's has revolutionized the pizza industry with its commitment to authentic, hand-crafted pizzas cooked in wood-fired ovens. The brand has developed a strong following, becoming a cultural hub for pizza enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Roberta's success prompted the opening of additional locations on both the East and West Coasts of the United States. Notably, the team behind Roberta's also launched Blanca, a restaurant that earned two Michelin stars, further solidifying their reputation for culinary excellence.

With a reputation for innovation and quality, Roberta's hosts high-profile pop-up events in major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago, extending their reach beyond traditional restaurant settings. These events highlight the brand's dynamic approach and its dedication to delivering exceptional pizza experiences and vibrant food culture.

Roberta's is currently expanding and seeking talented pizza cooks to join their growing team. They are looking for candidates with a passion for creating exceptional wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and the desire to master their craft in a busy, dynamic kitchen environment. The role demands a strong work ethic and the ability to perform well under pressure during busy service periods, while maintaining high standards of quality and presentation.

Ideal candidates will have at least one year of experience cooking wood-fired pizzas and a genuine interest in perfecting the art of pizza making in a hand-crafted pizza oven. The position requires excellent communication skills for engaging directly with guests and working collaboratively within a team. Candidates must thrive in a fast-paced setting and demonstrate professionalism, punctuality, and a positive attitude.

The pizza cook role includes mastering dough stretching by hand in less than 20 seconds, baking pizzas in both wood-fired and conventional ovens efficiently and consistently, and maintaining a clean and organized workspace. This is a physically demanding job that requires the ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds. Roberta's considers attitude and team spirit as essential qualities alongside technical skills.

Situated in midtown with convenient access from the Bronx and New Jersey, Roberta's offers a great location for prospective employees. The organization strives to foster a supportive work environment where employees are encouraged to ask for additional projects during downtime, listen to feedback, and continuously improve their craft.

Roberta's is looking to fill these positions promptly, emphasizing career-oriented candidates who view this role as a long-term commitment. The company values those who are highly organized, detail-oriented, and punctual. Joining Roberta's offers the opportunity to grow professionally in a well-established, innovative restaurant group known for its quality food and vibrant cultural presence.
