Ability to manage others and work on a team

A pizza chef manages multiple, simultaneous processes —from dough and ingredient prep to cooking pizza in a pizza or wood-fired oven. A good pizza chef makes excellent pizzas and knows how to teach others to toss dough, assemble pizzas and cook them properly.

Some pizza chefs may be responsible for administrative tasks related to kitchen management. They may, for example, be responsible for ensuring that ingredients are stocked before service and communicating with procurement or the head chef to order supplies. Pizza chefs may be responsible for ensuring that food costs yield profitability while providing quality ingredients. They may also be responsible for maintaining industrial kitchen equipment and ensuring food preparation areas meet sanitation standards and local health laws.

Some head pizza chefs may be responsible for scheduling cooks, prep workers and other kitchen staff.

Knowing what makes a good pizza

Depending on the restaurant, a pizza chef may require formal culinary training with a focus on Italian cuisine. Some pizza chefs create original pizza recipes, which can be extremely popular. At a minimum, a pizza chef should be able to read and follow basic cooking directions.

Pizza chefs should know how to make and toss dough, how to prepare good pizza sauces, how to roll out crusts, and add ingredients according to recipes. The resulting product should be consistent and delicious.

Commitment to customer service

Good pizza chefs provide excellent service to customers. Depending on the type of restaurant, a pizza chef may be in charge of phone orders and take-out deliveries. They should be able to communicate well and resolve customer complaints with diplomacy.

Willingness to work a flexible schedule

Restaurants are often busiest during nights, weekends and holidays. Pizza chefs should be able to work those shifts.
