Job type: Full-time, 5 days/week, opening and closing shifts, including weekends
Location: 67 Ottawa Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503

Two Sons Pizza is a family-owned, East Coast–style pizzeria in downtown Grand Rapids. Everything is made from scratch, and our prep cooks keep the kitchen running on both ends of the day — setting up the line in the morning, working the fryer, grill, and griddle during service, and breaking it all down at night. We’re hiring dependable full-time prep/line cooks for opening and closing shifts.

What you’ll do

Prep

• Mix and portion dough in 50-lb batches on a Hobart mixer; manage the cold-fermentation rotation
• Make house sauce, grind and season sausage, and prep toppings, salads, and sides
• Work from daily prep lists and par levels; label, date, and rotate everything (FIFO)
• Receive and put away deliveries; keep the walk-in and dry storage organized

Line

• Run the fryer, grill, and griddle stations during service — wings, fries, sandwiches, and hot sides cooked to spec and on time
• Keep your station stocked, clean, and ready through the rush
• Support the pizza line as needed — building, boxing, dishes, and running food

Opening shifts

• Open the kitchen: unlock, turn on equipment, and set the day in motion
• Hand off a fully stocked line to the pizza cooks

Closing shifts

• Restock and prep for the next morning: toppings, sauce, dough pulls, and par checks
• Break down and clean the prep area, line, fryer, grill, and griddle to closing checklist standards
• Sweep, mop, take out trash, and lock up the back of house

Every shift

• Keep the prep area and your station clean and sanitized throughout
• Maintain food safety and sanitation standards

What we’re looking for

• Prep and line experience; comfortable running a fryer, grill, and griddle during a rush
• Dough or bakery experience is a big plus
• Consistent, organized, and able to work from a list without supervision
• Reliable — opening shifts start the day for everyone, and closing shifts set up tomorrow
• Comfortable with weights and measures and following recipes exactly
• Able to stand for full shifts and lift 50 lbs
• Availability for mornings, nights, and weekends
• ServSafe a plus

Benefits

• Health, vision, and dental insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield
