Job Overview;
I Scream for Pizza Sunderland are on the lookout for a full-time Pizza Chef.
I Scream strives to make artisanal New York pizza alongside a range of sides, subs and house made soft serve sundaes. We offer a ‘grab and go’ style menu of large NY slices, alongside running a restaurant service of 50+ covers. The kitchen is fast paced and event driven being located right by the Stadium of Light. We are looking for a pizza chef to join our team who strives to produce the best quality food without compromise.
About us:
The Scream adventure began back in 2014 when its founders Victoria and Alex left their jobs as cruise ship workers and headed to Naples to pursue a passion for pizza.
Training at Enzo Coccias celebrated ‘La Notizia' restaurant sealed their ambition to start a mobile pizza business on their return home to the UK. They pledged to create pizza worth shouting (or screaming) about. This is still Scream’s mission today.
Its 10 years since we took to the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK with Goldie our old former French army ambulance and Newcastle’s original Neapolitan pizza van. Whilst the old girl is sadly in retirement for now, she is still very much Scream’s mascot and benchmark for what has come after her. Today, the Scream family continues to grow, learn and dream. We are very excited to see where the wheels will take us next.
I Scream for Pizza is our take on a New York inspired pizza and ice cream joint, serving up interesting and exciting 20" slices and home made ice cream, using local dairy milk.
