Il Leone is a wood fired Neapolitan pizza garden on Peaks Island, Maine, offering a unique island dining experience just a 15 minute ferry ride from downtown Portland, with ferries running nearly every hour. Il Leone’s pizza is 100 percent naturally leavened with a 72 hour sourdough fermentation, and produced using ingredients sourced from Maine organic farms and Italy - “wood fired pizza magic,” according to the New York Times!
Il Leone is seeking pizza line cooks for our 2025 season lasting from approximately Memorial Day weekend - Labor Day weekend. Pizza Cooks play an integral role in the pizza making process from working the wood fired oven (experience a plus but not required for the right candidate) to stretching and topping pizzas. Additional responsibilities include daily prep; helping with daily setup and clean up; preparing salads and side dishes during service; assisting with expo as needed and supporting our dough program as needed.
Perks include ferry tickets if commuting from Portland, opportunities for beach breaks in between lunch/dinner service, a pizza on the house before or after each shift, amazing team vibes, working in a predominantly outdoor kitchen on a beautiful island, and great tips!
Pizza experience is a plus but not required for the right candidate if there is a passion and desire to learn our style of pizza making (Chef/owner will provide training in our style of pizza and all necessary support to get the right candidate up to speed). Some line/culinary experience preferred but not required.
Interested applicants should reply to this posting with resumes and we will be in touch!
