OLD SCUOLA PIZZA
We make Neapolitan style influenced pizza. We work with local suppliers, we are innovative and we are keen on tradition but won’t hesitate to wipe our feet on it to make things better. We see dough as science and pizza as a dish.
For our location in Rotterdam centre we have a wood fired shared dining concept. Focussed on wood fired pizza’s with additional small dishes from the kitchen during dinner from Wednesday/Sunday. We serve our food with a loose edge but in very high quality.
The company (excisting of 3 restaurants at the moment) is runned by creative millennials with the intention to open multiple restaurants in upcoming years. For that reason we are building an army of intrinsic motivated pizza crew, floor crew and a solid layer of management. Which means lots of opportunity for the excisting crew to grow.
