With two successful pizzerias running in Maidenhead and Wokingham, we are now looking for experienced and independent pizza chefs to join our team at our exciting new venue in Windsor, opening in April 2026.
Knead is an independent, family-run business, who put staff wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do. This is your chance to work for a value-led company in our kitchen in Windsor.
Full training will be given at our Maidenhead pizzeria so that candidates can hit the ground running when we open on Easter Weekend.
This job would suit a confident pizza chef who is experienced in opening pizzas by hand - no dough rollers here so expect dusty knuckles!

- Value the use of sustainable & ethical suppliers
- Exceptional hygiene practices
- An appetite to learn, reliable nature and an ability to work under pressure
- Being a good team player and a generally nice person with a positive attitude are also key – as is a passion for proper pizza!
- Fluent English speaker
- Pre-settled status or UK resident
Expectations:
- Making fresh dough daily using our flour from Wildfarmed, pioneers in regenerative farming
- Able to open pizza by hand at speed to consistently high standards
- Daily temperature checks and helping to maintain a kitchen of the highest standard
- Contribute ideas to new menu items
What we will do for you:
- Quarterly bonus based on performance
- Healthy work/life balance
- 40-45h week with minimum 2 days off
- 1 x Saturday and 1 x Sunday off every month
- Invest in your training and growth
