Parma Tavern is seeking an experienced, dependable, and career-minded Line Cook with strong pizza experience to join our kitchen team. For years, Parma Tavern has been a neighborhood favorite, serving an eclectic mix of Italian-inspired pub fare featuring stone oven pizzas cooked in our 600-degree brick oven, fresh pasta with made-from-scratch sauces, house-ground burgers, shareable appetizers, and an extensive selection of craft beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails.

What truly sets Parma apart isn't just the food—it's our people. Many of our team members have been with us for years because we've built a culture based on teamwork, respect, consistency, and pride in what we do. We work hard, support one another, and believe every plate that leaves our kitchen represents our commitment to quality.

For this position, pizza experience is a major focus. We're looking for someone comfortable working with fresh dough, hand-stretching and building pizzas, managing oven execution, and maintaining quality and consistency during high-volume service. However, this is not a pizza-only position. We're looking for a well-rounded kitchen team member who is willing and able to support other stations as business demands. The right candidate will be cross-trained on our other line positions, including sauté and grill/fry, and should be comfortable jumping in wherever the kitchen needs support.

If you take pride in making great pizza, enjoy working in a fast-paced scratch kitchen, and want the opportunity to expand your skills across multiple stations, we'd love to meet you.

What We're Looking For

• Previous pizza cook or pizza line experience strongly preferred
• Experience hand-stretching dough and building pizzas in a high-volume restaurant environment
• Experience managing pizza oven timing and multiple pizzas simultaneously
• Previous line cook experience in a full-service restaurant preferred
• Experience in a scratch kitchen environment is a plus
• Willingness and ability to cross-train on sauté, grill/fry, and other kitchen stations
• Strong understanding of recipe execution, portion control, and presentation standards
• Ability to consistently produce high-quality food during busy services
• Commitment to following company recipes, build sheets, and plating standards
• Strong sense of urgency without sacrificing quality
• Ability to multitask and remain organized under pressure
• Dependable attendance and punctuality
• Positive attitude and team-oriented mindset
• Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays
