For over 35 years, Hungry Wolfs has been serving the Terrigal community, earning a reputation for quality Italian food, consistency and genuine hospitality. We're looking for someone who takes pride in their craft and wants to help uphold the standards our customers have come to expect.
This is not an entry-level role. We need someone who is experienced, organised and capable of running a busy pizza section with confidence.

- Permanent full-time position
- Wednesday to Sunday
- Approximately 11:00am until close (around 9:30pm)
- Immediate start available

Working in a fast-paced Italian restaurant, you'll be responsible for preparing and cooking high-quality pizzas using our electric gas pizza oven while maintaining consistency, speed and presentation throughout service.
Our pizza section is positioned at the front of the restaurant, where customers can watch the pizzas being made. We are looking for someone who is confident working in an open kitchen, enjoys interacting with guests and understands that they represent the Hungry Wolfs brand every day.
Your Responsibilities
- Prepare and cook pizzas to Hungry Wolfs' recipes and standards.
- Maintain consistency, quality and presentation during every service.
- Manage the pizza section efficiently during busy periods.

- Ensure stock is rotated and communicated when running low.
- Take pride in presenting a clean, professional and welcoming pizza section.
- Deliver a positive experience for guests watching and interacting with the pizza kitchen.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Pizza Chef in a busy Italian restaurant.
- Experience using an electric or gas pizza oven.
- Strong understanding of dough handling, pizza preparation and service timing.
- Ability to remain calm and organised under pressure.
- High standards of cleanliness, hygiene and food safety.
- Excellent communication and teamwork.
- Friendly, professional and approachable with customers.
- Reliable, punctual and takes ownership of their section.
- Positive attitude, strong work ethic and no ego.
Why Join Hungry Wolfs Terrigal?
Hungry Wolfs is a family-owned business where quality, consistency and hospitality come first. We work hard, support one another and genuinely care about creating memorable experiences for our customers.
We're not looking for someone to simply make pizzas. We're looking for someone who wants to become part of a business with a proud 35-year history and help carry that reputation into the future.
If you're looking for just another pizza job, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a long-term opportunity with a respected local restaurant where your work genuinely matters, we'd love to hear from you.
Applicants must have Australian working rights and be available to work weekends.
