After the successful opening of our planet friendly pizzeria in Maidenhead, Knead Neapolitan Pizza is looking for a passionate, well-organised and experienced Pizza Chef to join our close-knit team. Immediate start available.
Knead Neapolitan Pizza is an independent, family-run business, who put staff wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do. This is your chance to work for a value-led company in our brand new pizzeria in Maidenhead.
We have been buoyed by the support shown by locals since we opened in December and as such we are looking to expand our team sooner than expected.

- Exceptional hygiene practices
- An appetite to learn, reliable nature and an ability to work under pressure
- Being a good team player and a generally nice person with a positive attitude are also key – as is a passion for proper pizza!
- Fluent English speaker
- Pre-settled status or UK resident
Expectations:
- Making fresh dough daily using our flour from Wildfarmed, pioneers in regenerative farming
- Able to open pizza by hand at speed to consistently high standards
- Ordering and preparing ingredients from our trusted suppliers
- Daily temperature checks and helping to maintain a kitchen of the highest standard
What we will do for you:
- Quarterly bonus based on performance
- Healthy work/life balance
- 42-48h week with minimum 2 days off
- 1 x Saturday and 1 x Sunday off every month
- Invest in your training and growth
