I’m asking because, i’m thinking about doing a little part time job as a pizza maker on one day of the week because 1. i FRICKIN LOVE PIZZA and 2. i need to do something physically demanding as an contra to my office job which is only mentally exhausting. Just doin workouts at the gym would be an option yes, but getting the same result through doing something would be way better. Thanks for every shared experience!
I was a pizza chef for a bit. To answer your question, yes it is. The pizza oven heats the kitchen a lot and if you’re not busy you can get away from it for a bit, but when it’s busy good luck. I would drink about a liter of water per shift and wouldn’t need bathroom breaks because of how much I was sweating. The dough can be rough to work if you have a newbie making it. Other than that it’s mostly just the heat that is fucked and if you have a cheapskate owner who doesn’t buy good ventilation or AC oof
Thanks for sharing your experience!
