Job Description

Famous Original J\xe2\x80\x99s Pizza is an authentic New York City-style slice shop. Located in Denver\xe2\x80\x99s historic Five Points neighborhood, the pizzeria was the only fast casual restaurant included in the Denver Post\xe2\x80\x99s \xe2\x80\x9c10 Best New Restaurants\xe2\x80\x9d list when it opened. The 260-square-foot restaurant resides on the patio of the 715 Club adjacent to the original Rosenberg\xe2\x80\x99s Bagels, with a second walk-up window on the corner of Welton St. and 26th Ave. Famous Original J\xe2\x80\x99s Pizza uses the same technology that differentiates Rosenberg\xe2\x80\x99s Bagels by replicating New York City\xe2\x80\x99s legendary water. A proprietary filtration system uses reverse osmosis to strip Denver tap water of its minerals, then reintroduces them in the same specific proportions found in New York, which contributes to the strength of the gluten in the dough, resulting in authentic, perfectly crispy-yet-chewy pizza crust.

We are seeking a talented Full-time Lead Team Member to join our dynamic team in our open kitchen. As a key member of our culinary hospitality team, you will not only be responsible for preparing delicious authentic New York style pies, salads and sides but you will also be expected to engage with our customers, answer their questions about the food, provide samples, take orders, provide assistance with online orders, and even deliver food to customers when needed.

This is a high volume and fast paced position that requires someone who has the right energy to keep up while maintaining the high quality standards of our food. We are passionate about pizza and even more passionate about people. Come join our team today!
