Who are we?

Yard Sale Pizza fired up the oven in 2014, starting with weekly supper clubs from our backyard in Hackney. We now offer delivery, dine-in and takeaway in 17 of our favourite neighbourhoods. Known for our collaborations, we’ve teamed up with illustrators, musicians, international chefs & local eateries- all on the quest for the perfect pie!

What are we looking for?

• We’re looking for someone who absolutely loves to lead whilst setting a great example in the workplace.
• Someone who has a keen understanding of driving sales and smashing targets!
• Someone with exceptional interpersonal skills.
• An individual who has a few years experience as a GM would be amazing!
• It would be advantageous if you have previously worked within a takeaway setting.

What’s on offer:

• Enviable hospitality hours which means you won’t be working super-late!
• 28 days annual leave
• Cycle-to-work
