Job description
Description
Zalat Pizza is hiring!
We make pizza worth caring about—and we’re looking for people who feel the same.

What We're Looking For:
Previous service-industry experience required
Pizza experience strongly preferred
Reliable and consistently punctual
Access to dependable transportation
Strong leadership and communication skills
Friendly, coachable, respectful, and team-oriented
Detail-focused and proud of your work
Comfortable directing others and making decisions during a shift
Able to stay calm and neutralize team stress during busy periods
Open availability, including some opening, closing, late-night, and weekend shifts
Must be at least 18 years old
Must be able to stand for 6–10 hours, bend, reach, squat, and lift up to 50 lbs.
What You'll Do:
Make pizzas and maintain our quality standards
Open and close the restaurant
Direct the team during shifts and rushes
Keep the team productive during slower periods
Handle customer concerns and operational issues
Lead by example in prep, stocking, cleaning, and service
May assist with inventory, scheduling, and documentation.
What We Offer:
Competitive base pay starting from $14/hour to $16/hour based on experience
Shared tips averaging an additional $1.50–$4.00/hour
50% employee discount
Paid training
Referral program + bonus
Full-time equivalent employees are eligible for Health Insurance (including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability)
401(k) with company match after 1 year
Opportunity to advance in management
Always closed Thanksgiving and Christmas
Why Work Here?
We’re privately owned, steadily growing, and intentionally not very corporate. Our mission is to make the greatest pizza in the universe, and we care about doing things well—not just doing them the way they’ve always been done. That includes how we make our pizza, serve our customers, and lead our teams.
We call it Pride & Joy: take pride in what you produce, bring some personality to what you do, and help make the shift better for the people around you.
Our culture is relaxed, a little weird, and unapologetically our own.
If you like high standards, good people, and the chance to lead without spending your shift standing on the sidelines, you’ll probably fit in here.
