Pizza Chef

Pizza Chef

POPSI’S Pizza | Southampton

Some people cook because it’s their job.

Some people cook because they genuinely love food.

We’re looking for the second kind.

At POPSI’S, everything starts with fresh dough, handmade every day. We believe great food comes from people who genuinely care about what they’re creating. Every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries our name, our reputation and our pride.

That’s why we’re looking for someone who wants to be more than just another chef.

We’re looking for someone who gets excited about great ingredients, enjoys learning, takes pride in every plate they send out and understands that every pizza might be someone’s Friday night treat, birthday meal or family dinner.

You’ll fit in if you…

• Love cooking and genuinely enjoy making great food.
• Take real pride in your work, even when nobody is watching.
• Believe clean kitchens produce great food.
• Care about consistency and attention to detail.
• Work well under pressure without compromising quality.
• Are dependable, positive and enjoy being part of a close-knit team.
• Want to keep learning and improving your skills.

Experience?

Honestly, attitude matters more.

You might have worked in professional kitchens for 18 years.

Or you might have discovered your love of cooking 18 days ago.

If you’ve got the right mindset, a willingness to learn and a genuine passion for food, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

• Preparing and cooking our handmade menu to the highest standards.
• Taking pride in every pizza that leaves the kitchen.
• Helping us maintain exceptional food quality and consistency.
• Keeping the kitchen spotless, organised and ready for service.
• Working as part of a supportive team during busy services.
• Looking after equipment and ingredients as if they were your own.

What you’ll get

• Flexible part-time hours.
• Staff discount.
• Full training on how we do things at POPSI’S.
• The opportunity to develop your skills in a kitchen that values quality over shortcuts.
• A team that genuinely supports each other.

Please note

• Applicants must be 18 years or over.
• You must already have the legal right to work in the UK.
• Unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

A final note…

We’re proud that almost everything we serve is handmade.

That means we’re looking for people who care about craftsmanship, not just speed.

If you love food, enjoy working hard, take pride in a spotless kitchen and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares about what it serves, we’d love to hear from you.

If you’re simply looking for somewhere to clock in, cook without care and clock out, we’re probably not the right fit.

When you apply, don’t just send us your CV. Tell us why you love food and what makes you proud to work in a kitchen. We’d much rather hear your story than just read a list of previous jobs.
