We’re on the lookout for a skilled and passionate Pizza Chef to join us as Second-in-Command at our new Victoria Park restaurant. You’ll work side-by-side with our Head Pizza Chef, fulfilling an essential part of our kitchen leadership team — from dough prep and shaping, to oven finesse and team management.
ACE Pizza will open its first restaurant in Victoria Park this summer. Our ‘biga’ dough pizza combines Neapolitan chew and char with New York-style structure and foldability—a uniquely ‘London-style’ pizza. We take pride in every pizza that leaves our kitchen. That means crafting everything in-house — dough, sauces, toppings — and maintaining the highest standards in quality, consistency, and creativity. An expanded menu will showcase our pizza sandwiches, alongside Italian-American sides and soft-serve ice cream.
We’re looking for chefs with at least two years of professional kitchen experience, and we particularly encourage women and those from other culinary areas to apply.
As Second Chef, you’ll have lots of pizza-making experience, lead with calm confidence, and thrive in a fast-paced kitchen. You’ll support the Head Pizza Chef in running a slick and successful kitchen operation. While the key responsibilities are outlined below, flexibility and adaptability are essential in this role.
