Work With Joey

Hospitality is a team sport — and this team plays loud.

Come for the job.
Stay for the family.

Chef Joey Concepts is family-owned and family-run — and that extends to everyone on the payroll. We build careers, not just shifts: real training, real growth across multiple concepts, and rooms with so much energy the time flies. Whether you're front of house, back of house, or behind the espresso machine, you'll be part of restaurants people genuinely love.

Behind every concept is one team.

Chef Joey's restaurants are brought to life by The Maggiore Group — the family-run hospitality company behind the kitchens, the crews, and the culture. It's where the careers actually happen: real training, real growth, and the chance to move across concepts as the family grows. Loud kitchens, full dining rooms, and coworkers who feel like cousins by week two. The work is fast and the standards are high — but this is the fun kind of hard.

The Italiano is a bold, high-energy Italian restaurant blending old-school charm with modern indulgence. Featuring chef-driven pastas, tableside moments, craft cocktails, and a lively atmosphere, it delivers a nostalgic New York-inspired experience with a fresh, unforgettable edge.

The Mexicano has a fun and exciting restaurant with a chef-driven menu, experiential food and cocktail carts, rotating DJs featuring Latin music and the country's first ever build-your own Margarita bar!

Born in New York, baked in the desert. The Delicatessen brings classic city deli energy to Phoenix — fresh-baked bagels, hand-whipped cream cheese, sandwiches that don't know the meaning of skimpy, and coffee that earns its line. It's the corner deli your morning has been missing, by way of Chef Joey.
