Established as a cult-favorite destination for pizza lovers, Zalat Pizza has grown quickly due to its dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The company prides itself on creating perfect tasting pizzas with distinctive flavor combinations that set them apart in a competitive market. At its core, Zalat Pizza is on a romantic mission to become a national multi-unit pizzeria, delivering handmade products on a mass scale without sacrificing quality.

The company’s culture emphasizes autonomy, individuality, and diversity, welcoming all authentic and enthusiastic team members. Zalat Pizza is fully committed to equal opportunity employment, ensuring that all qualified applicants receive consideration regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, religion, creed, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, or veteran status. It even provides fair chances for those with criminal histories, supporting inclusion and fairness within its workforce.

Zalat Pizza is currently hiring for the position of Pizza Maker / Cook, a role open to both entry-level candidates and experienced individuals looking to join a vibrant and growing team. Available as either full-time or part-time employment, this role offers a starting pay of $12 per hour, making it accessible and attractive for a wide range of applicants. No prior experience is necessary, although having pizza-making experience is a plus. The company provides hands-on training and development along with opportunities for promotion and cross-training, fostering growth within the organization.

As a Pizza Maker / Cook at Zalat Pizza, you will be part of a dedicated team known as "pizza Zealots," who work swiftly and calmly to prepare, bake, and present high-quality pizzas to customers. The role involves working closely with hot ovens, maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards, and ensuring consistent quality through sanitary compliance and ongoing training. You will also be responsible for food prep and maintaining a well-organized workspace, embodying the spirit of the "Pizza Sheriff" by keeping the kitchen running smoothly and efficiently.

Zalat Pizza values a relaxed and authentic work environment where individuality is celebrated. Team members are encouraged to bring their true selves to the job every day (BYOB - Be Your Original Badass), with perks like relaxed uniforms, free Zalat T-shirts, and even a company-sponsored tattoo after one year of service. The company’s benefits package is comprehensive and includes health, vision, dental, and life insurance at affordable rates, a 401k plan with a company match, and stock options for employees after one year, making the front-line workers stakeholders in the company's success.

The role requires physical stamina, including the ability to lift up to 25 pounds repeatedly and stand for extended periods. Flexible scheduling is important, with shifts covering weekends and late nights as Zalat Pizza operates late to serve its dedicated clientele. A Food Handler’s certification is a must, but for those who don’t have it, Zalat Pizza is willing to cover the cost of obtaining one.

By joining Zalat Pizza as a Pizza Maker / Cook, you become part of a forward-thinking pizzeria that values quality, customer loyalty, and employee wealth. This position is not just a job but a pathway to career growth, meaningful involvement in a growing company, and participation in a unique stock option program that rewards dedication and success.
