Job Description

Play a key role in a new tight-knit opening team as Portland, ME island pizza business il Leone, known for its naturally leavened Neapolitan pies with ingredients from small organic farms and Italy, opens a brick/mortar space in Park Slope, Brooklyn, the city where our Chef/Owner was born and raised.

The new space (previously Bar Vinazo) will have an open kitchen, a large backyard and feature the same naturally leavened pies il Leone has been serving the last 5 summers out of a trailer in the woods on an island in Portland, ME. The new restaurant will also feature natural and low intervention wines, primarily from Campania, Italian cocktails, spritzes and Maine beers, as well as a handful of additional non-pizza menu items such as salads and antipasto plates.

Since opening on Peaks Island during the pandemic in the summer of 2021, Il Leone has garnered recognition for its dedication to serving renowned Neapolitan style pizza, with the   New York Times   calling its pizza “naturally leavened pizza magic” and   Food and Wine   magazine spotlighting its “Isola” Maine lobster pizza last year. It has also been listed among the most exciting upcoming restaurant openings in NYC by   Eater NY   and   The   Infatuation

As part of our opening team, you’ll help shape the culture, standards, and energy of a restaurant from the ground up.
