Pasquale Jones is looking for experienced Sous Chef to join our team!
We are a restaurant on the corner of Mulberry and Kenmare Streets with two imported, Italian made, wood-fire ovens we use to sling the best pizza Napoletana this side of Naples as well as produce from New York farmers, Long Island fishing boats, and carefully sourced beef, pork, and lamb - to name a few.
Our space is local, spreading from the inside out; we’re organic in our approach and our delivery. Our team’s background is complex and while we hail from some of the finest dining establishments in the world, we just want to be your favorite, neighborhood joint.
