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:
Reminds me of when Exxon Mobile had a job posting for their Pizza Chef when they were the largest company in the world... wait, they definitely farmed out their pizza boy to a sub sub sub sub sub contractor. Good to see the largest corporation in the world still have at least a little heart :)
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...
Yeah, seems like someone with 4 years experience with high demand brick oven/pizza tossing skills could make a killing on their own considering the mark-up on pizza.
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.
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.

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"?
Yes, my favorite VPN had nothing to do with networks. You might find some of this interesting, if you haven't seen it already... http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm
