SOUS CHEF

Job Overview:
We are seeking a talented Sous Chef to join our team within our new opening. The ideal candidate will be passionate about pizza and possess strong leadership skills to support the Executive Chef in delivering exceptional food.

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. Having perfected grab and go and dine in at two different venues we're excited to bring the two together for Sunderlands hottest opening of 2024.
