About the Role
At Al Forno Catering, pizza isn't an afterthought — it's a centerpiece. We're looking for a Pizza Chef who genuinely loves the craft: someone who takes pride in a perfectly stretched dough, a balanced sauce, and a pie that comes out of the oven looking as good as it tastes.
This is a contract, event-by-event position. You'll be called in for corporate events, weddings, private parties, and festivals across the Lower Mainland. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, works clean, and brings real skill to the station — we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Preparing dough, sauces, and toppings fresh for each event — we don't cut corners
- Operating wood-fired or commercial ovens and maintaining consistent cook times and temperatures
- Assembling and presenting pizzas to a high standard, every time
- Keeping your station clean, organized, and compliant with food safety standards throughout the event
- Communicating with the team lead to keep service moving during high-volume periods
- Flagging any low inventory or supply needs before and after events
What We're Looking For
- Experience as a pizza chef or in a similar culinary role — you know your way around a dough ball
- Solid understanding of pizza techniques: stretching, topping ratios, oven management
- A Food Handler Certification (BC equivalent or ServSafe) — required
- Reliable transportation to get yourself to events across the Lower Mainland
- Someone who can stay calm, focused, and professional when it gets busy
- Flexibility for evenings and weekends — that's when events happen
This position is integral to creating memorable dining experiences for our guests. We value dedication, creativity, and a strong work ethic in our team members.
Pay: $18.50-$20.00 per hour
