Head Chef

Pizza Pilgrims Glasgow, Lanarkshire

GLASGOW - WE'RE COMING! We are absolutely buzzing to be bringing Pizza Pilgrims to Glasgow - a city full of energy, culture, music, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. We can't wait to fire up our ovens here and become part of this incredible food scene. If you love proper Neapolitan pizza, working with a cracking team, and making people genuinely happy - then this might just be the job for you. Fancy earning up to £62,000 a year, making folk happier one pizza at a time? At Pizza Pilgrims, that's genuinely possible. Here's how it breaks down: Basic salary (the guaranteed bit) £40,000 - £45,000 Tronc - currently averaging around £7,000 per year (but it's a shared pot, so it can go up and down). Bonus - up to 20% of your annual salary, paid twice a year if targets are smashed. So aye - up to £62k is on the table. To keep it 100% transparent: tronc isn't guaranteed, and bonuses depend on performance. Still, the potential is as real as you make it. At Pizza Pilgrims, we aspire to create an inclusive environment where everyone can be themselves, feel genuinely cared for and have equal opportunities for growth and progression. We are committed to building a diverse team that includes and respects a variety of voices, identities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives; which creates proper happiness, just like our pizzas do! 14 years ago Thom & James drove a Piaggio ape Tuk Tuk all the way from Sicily to London on a "Pizza Pilgrimage" to learn the secrets of proper Italian pizza. They went on to set up a market stall in Soho with an oven in the back of the van before opening their first actual pizzeria on Dean Street. If you think that sounds as ridiculously cool as we do, and you love pizza, then read on Nowadays, we've got over 25 award-winning pizzerias across the UK, we've got our own Pizza Academy where we run training workshops every day, and we're also a BCORP - something we're extremely proud about achieving. We pride ourselves on using the best ingredients from Naples including Caputo flour, fresh fior di latte, salsiccia e friarielli, to make the best Neapolitan pizza every day. We work hard because we think pizza makes people happier.

You'll also be accountable for: Team Management & engagement Recruitment, training, and succession planning Health & safety compliance Stock management Successful guest pizza launches Kitchen maintenance management Food quality auditing Reporting Whilst skills are important, representing our values is just as important too. These shape our team culture: Push Yourself - learning new skills and coming out of your comfort zone will help us improve as a team. Be Yourself - your hair colour is yours, not ours. Tattoos? We love them. Personality? Bring it. Respect Others - everyone is welcome at Pilgrims, and we're committed to creating an inclusive environment where people feel they belong.
