About us

Ria’s is a relaxed neighbourhood spot that brings together the simple pleasures of deep-pan pizza and natural wine. Our exciting journey started in Sept 2023 and we’re now looking for a Assistant Manager / Senior Supervisor to help lead the FOH team and manage the site.

Driven by a belief in the power of in person connections, great hospitality, and businesses that actually care about their employees, we decided to build Ria’s. Our purpose is to build homely neighbourhood spaces for the good of the community and those that work in them.

Description

At Ria's, we believe that great service, a saucy slice and a glass of wine can brighten anyone’s day and we need someone to play a key role in creating that experience for our customers.
