Frequently asked questions
Can you learn pizzaiolo work on the job?
Yes — most Montréal pizzerias train on their own dough and oven because both are house-specific. Prior line experience helps you move faster, but dough handling and launching are taught on the station rather than in school.
Does pizza pay more than general line cook work?
Often slightly, once you can independently run the oven, because it is a specialised station that is hard to cover. Typical posted ranges land around $17 to $24 an hour depending on the room and your oven experience.
What is the difference between wood-fired and deck oven work?
Wood-fired runs far hotter with bake times under two minutes and demands constant reading of the fire and turning; deck ovens are steadier and more forgiving. Pizzerias will ask which you have run, so name the oven type in your application.
