I'm glad this an Apple listing and they're not farming this position out to a third party. Reminded a tad of the Zynga hubbub about the Google chef, one of their most valued early employees:<p><a href="http://blog.rongarret.info/2011/11/in-defense-of-google-chef.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.rongarret.info/2011/11/in-defense-of-google-chef...</a>

Having eaten there a couple of times, the pizza at the apple cafeteria was good. We would always comment on how the pizza chef was about 5ft tall. Perfectly sized to look in the oven w/o leaning over. Form following function in one way or the other. The job post doesn't discriminate this way...

I wonder if by neapolitan style they mean what New Yorkers call neapolitan pizza (what other Americans call New York style) or literally pizza from Naples. I assume the former, but either way this is making me hungry.<p>Apple should make this mandatory reading: <a href="http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm</a>

I am just curious; what would most likely be the salary for this position?

anyone else notice the job was in sacramento not cupertino? what type of office do they have in sacramento?

The funniest thing about this is that Apple, a company known for innovation, is just following the herd and assuming that you need a high-temp oven and to be able to stretch the dough "by-hand" to make a good pizza.<p>OR<p>They know it's BS but know marketing is just as important ;)

Yes, Apple employees eat food. Some of them might actually like pizza. To provide good pizza, you need to hire a pizza chef. Is this really something "that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity"?

Whoa.. a combination of my two favorite things, technology and pizza. I need this job.<p>A nice high hydration dough with a 3 day cold ferment. San Marzano tomato sauce.

I ended up at the Apple building in Sacramento after winning a holiday America. Pizza was good and the workplace seemed a pretty fun place.

so they have to make the dough, prep the sauce and toppings, stretch the dough, cook the pizzas? Is this a team of one?

I'm working for the wrong company.

Amazing

There's got to be an app for this.
