April’s Employee-Owner Milestones: Martin & Darren!

In April we celebrated two major milestones- Martin’s 20th Anniversary and Darren’s 15th! 🤩

Martin joined our Oakland and Berkeley kitchen team in 2006, before transferring to San Ramon and eventually making the move with us to Pleasanton in 2021. A true rock in the kitchen, Martin brings serious expertise to every shift. Just as important, he keeps things running smooth with his calm, cool, collected vibe when it matters most.

Darren joined our San Ramon kitchen team back in 2011 and stepped into management in 2018. He’s helped lead our teams in Pleasant Hill and Pleasanton, and most recently he helped with the opening of Zachary’s Livermore. Darren brings hard work and dedication to our team, with just a little bit of mischief mixed in 😉

Congrats to both Martin and Darren on major milestones with us! We can’t imagine our team without them and are so grateful for their 35 combined years of dedication, hard work, and true pizza grit ❤️🥂
