Our Story

Zizzi started in 1999 with a big oven, a little wine, and a dream to serve Italian, our way. You'll know us for good times, bubbly pizza, and fresh pasta. We don't do bland food, people or restaurants.

About The Role

As a Front of House Team Member (or Waiter), you set the tone. Service at Zizzi isn't about scripts. We're looking for real people who can give genuine hospitality.

• Live our values, aim to be better than yesterday, and support your team during busy rushes.

What's in it for you:

• Free meals when you're on shift, and 50% off when you aren't.
• Access your earned wages whenever you need them with Stream.

We want you front and centre, as you are, from day 1. We love individuality - bold tattoos, bad singing, big laugh, brave choices. We're a Times Top 500 Employer because we celebrate everyone's differences. While we're on that, we're also the only Italian restaurant in the FT's UK's Best Employers 2026 Special Report (all about working conditions, salary, potential for development and company image).
