Job Description
Zazzo's is a family-owned and operated restaurant located at 7360 Rt83 Darien, IL 60561. We are well-known for our thin crust pizza, which remains a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Beyond pizza, our establishment offers a comprehensive menu that includes a variety of dishes such as pasta, sandwiches, seafood, and much more, making us a versatile full-service bar and restaurant. Our dedication to quality, customer satisfaction, and a welcoming atmosphere has made us a staple in the Darien community. We pride ourselves on maintaining a fast team-based culture that encourages acceptance, growth, and professional development for all our employees.
We are currently seeking skilled Pizzamakers to join our dynamic team. This role involves preparing high-quality pizzas according to customer orders, with responsibilities spanning from preparing pizza dough, cutting and slicing various ingredients, to maintaining cleanliness at the workstation and oven areas. The position demands a passionate individual who can handle multiple food orders simultaneously in a fast-paced environment with excellent time management and communication skills. The ability to multitask, maintain hygiene standards, and show dedication during busy service hours is essential.
Our Pizzamakers also engage in starting and ending daily prep work such as cooking appetizers like mozzarella cheese sticks, slicing pizza bites, preparing ingredients in advance, monitoring food stock, and placing supply orders for the following day. We encourage using less traditional ingredients such as vegan options, cheddar cheese, and gluten-free flour, which allow us to cater to a broader audience. Candidates must be flexible to work in shifts, including weekends and late evenings, and are encouraged to have a safe serve certification. Pay ranges from $15.00 to $18.00 per hour, with additional bonus pay opportunities. This position offers both full-time and part-time employment options delivering flexible scheduling, referral bonuses, meal discounts, employee recognition, and career advancement within our multi-unit ownership structure.
