Pizza Cook

At Dimo’s, people who apply for a job here think they’re getting a service/hospitality job. And they’re not wrong. But that’s not nearly the whole picture. You see, once you get started and master the job you’ve applied for, you get the opportunity to grow and take on responsibilities that interest you. Our photographer started as a front of house team member. The guy who comes up with all the menu options, he started as a pizza cook. The team member who plans our events? They began by serving customers. Working at Dimo’s is truly a way to find your passion and get paid for it.

BOH means you’re working behind the scenes. But make no mistake, that doesn’t mean you’re not part of the team. In fact, you even split tips. Evenly. Because your hard work should be rewarded and valued just as much as everyone else in the shop.

And while you’re working in BOH, you’ll learn how to be a pizza artist… How to toss dough, top a pie, and work the pizza ovens. You’ll make any number of pizzas to ensure that everyone that walks through our door gets the perfect slice.

Don’t forget, we’re always introducing new pizzas, so your feedback and knowledge on what works, what sells, and what doesn’t is invaluable. If feeling the pulse of the store in a very tangible way is your cup of tea, this job is for you!

We’re looking for passionate cooks to join our team. We have locations in Wrigleyville, Lincoln Square and Wicker Park.
