+ Pies is hiring a Pizza Chef to run our wood-fired pizza program. We are a neighborhood coastal restaurant in

Lexington:

a raw bar on one side, sourdough pies out of a Marra Forni RT130 rotating deck oven on the other. The pies are close to a fifth of our food sales, and the station that makes them is the most visible seat in our kitchen. We are looking for someone who wants that seat. This is a real fire job. Live hardwood, hand-stretched sourdough, a rotating deck, and a standard we hold to the millimeter. If you have run a wood oven and miss it, or you have been building pies on a conveyor and want to learn one properly, we should talk. What you'll do

• Run our Marra Forni RT130 wood-fired rotating deck oven: light it, saturate it, and hold a live flame through service without chasing temperature
• Manage firewood to spec: seasoned hardwood, correct sizing, safe staging, clean combustion
• Handle our sourdough program daily: pull, temper, and hand-stretch 280g dough balls, and reject anything that misses spec
• Build every pie on our menu to standard, including the post-bake finishes that make them what they are
• Hold the dimensional and quality standards on every pie: proper rim, no gumline, no tip sag, served hot or remade
• Set up and break down the station, including hearth cleaning and safe ash handling
• Keep the station clean, labeled, dated, and food-safe through service
• Train and certify our pizza cooks against our written station standards
• Call out low product, low firewood, or oven trouble early, not at the last minute What we're looking for
• Hands-on pizza experience: Neapolitan, sourdough, or another hand-stretched style
• Wood-fired or deck-oven experience strongly preferred; rotating-deck experience is a real plus
• Comfort working around live fire, and the discipline that takes
• Someone who can hold a spec shift after shift, not just on a good night
• Availability for evenings and weekends, and for day shifts as we add lunch service
• Able to stand for a full shift, work near a very hot oven, and lift up to 50 lbs
• ServSafe certification a plus, or willingness to earn it What we offer
• Your own station and your own oven, with written standards behind you instead of guesswork
• A dough program with real craft in it, and a chef who will teach the parts you haven't done
• A growing menu with room to put your work on it
• Closed Mondays
• Shift meal
