About Us

We’re reopening in October under new ownership! Join Magma, a neighbourhood pizzeria on St Georges Road. Wood-fired, dough-led, and a great team built around the oven.

We’re looking for a Pizza Chef to join our team. Someone who can own the dough, the fire, and everything that leaves the oven.

It’s a small, close kitchen where the oven is the service on a busy night. You’ll stretch, top and fire at pace without the standard slipping, and keep your station set before the first ticket lands.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

- The oven: managing fire and heat through service, turning and pulling pizzas to spec, and keeping the oven moving to a high standard
- Dough: following the dough schedule — mixing, balling, fermentation and proofing — and flagging early when a batch isn’t right
- Stretching and topping: every pizza built to recipe and portion spec, the same on a quiet Wednesday as a packed Saturday
- Prep: sauces, toppings and mise en place done to par before service
- Clean and safe: your station spotless, stock rotated, temperatures and food safety records right every shift





What We’re Looking For You’ve worked an oven in a busy pizzeria and you know dough is the job. You’re quick and tidy on the bench, calm when the tickets stack up, and you take pride in a pizza that comes out the same every time.

Specifically, we’re looking for:

- Experience on a wood-fired or high-heat pizza oven in a busy venue
- Hands-on dough experience — mixing, balling, and reading fermentation
- Speed and consistency stretching and topping to spec
- Good habits around food safety, stock and waste
- Reliable availability for evening services, including weekends

What Success Looks Like The oven is never the bottleneck, even on the busiest night of the week. Your pizzas & dough are consistent because you’re across it, not because someone reminded you. The Head Chef can hand you the oven for a full service and not think about it

Why Magma

Fitzroy North has been eating here for years, and the locals will be back the first night we open. What you send out goes to people who really care. Join a small exciting team who has real pride in what they do, and grow within the team and community.
