About us:

Che Fico Pizzeria is the newest outlet in the Che Fico family of restaurants opening October 2024.
The original Che Fico is located in the NoPa neighborhood and is a California-Italian restaurant. The flagship location opened in Spring of 2018 and was shortly thereafter named one of Bon Appetit's Hot 10 New Restaurants. The restaurant features handmade pasta, pizza, salumi, wood-fired meats and other dishes utilizing local California ingredients as if the Bay Area were a region of Italy. Che Fico has a robust craft cocktail program, as well as a very developed wine and beverage program highlighting California and Italy.

Che Fico Pizzeria is located in Thrive City, directly adjacent to the Chase Center. This location will be fun, fast-paced, and community oriented. While pizza will of course be the focus, we will also feature a dynamic menu including antipasti and sandwiches, as well as fabulous gelato! Che Fico Pizzeria is first and foremost a San Francisco restaurant and it will establish itself as a member of the community through warm hospitality and a generous spirit.

We host staff events, field trips and seminars to build restaurant culture and further our development as a team. We want this to be the most fun and rewarding job you have ever had in the hospitality industry and we are seeking talented professionals to help grow our team.
