Help Us Build Something Wildly SpecialAre you a little bit of a lunatic in the best way? Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments and love making people feel genuinely seen? Do you get fired up about leading teams, driving performance, and making an impact from the ground up? If you're nodding wildly, we might just be your people.We're on the hunt for an Assistant General Manager who's ready to roll up their sleeves, lead with heart, and bring major vibes. This person is ambitious, entrepreneurial, endlessly motivated-and not afraid to hold a team accountable while keeping things light, fun, and authentic. Bonus points if you're the type who high-fives the dishwasher, greets every guest like an old friend, and can turn a not-so-great situation into a loyal customer for life.About Us
We're not just a pizzeria. We are The PIZZERIA-a bold, fast-growing hospitality brand on a mission to disrupt the tired pizza space and bring something real, vibrant, and wildly human to the table.Hospitality, to us, is more than great food (though we've got that covered). It's about creating meaningful experiences-for our team and our guests-built on energy, empathy, community, and a sprinkle of weirdness. Think less stuffy corporate chain, more "your favorite local spot that just gets it."Our Vibe
Each of our locations features a clean, modern coastal design with great music and a lively atmosphere. Whether it's post-soccer practice family dinners, date night at the bar, or live music with local artists, we've got something for everyone. (And yes, there's usually a line of Uber drivers out front when it's all said and done.)What We're Looking For
