We're creating a lively, approachable destination where great food, drinks, and hospitality come together. What We're Looking For

The Pizza Chef will play an important role in developing our dough program, establishing standards and procedures, training the team, and creating a pizza program that will become a defining part of the restaurant. We're building a concept where pizza, sandwiches, craft beer, elevated cocktails, and hospitality all work together. We're looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to help shape the food side of that experience and create a pizza program that guests will come back for.
