About Me

Originally from Izmir, Türkiye, my culinary journey began after moving to Australia at the age of 15. I fell in love with pizza while working at a local Italian pizzeria, which inspired me to pursue formal culinary training in Melbourne and become a fully qualified chef.

Over the years, I worked my way up from Chef de Partie to Sous Chef and eventually Head Chef, specialising in Italian and Spanish cuisine. I’ve had the opportunity to work across a range of establishments, from well known pizzerias to fine dining restaurants which helped shape my approach to flavour, technique, and hospitality.

In 2017, I followed my passion for pizza and became a familiar face at Arbory Afloat, where I helped bring vibrant, woodfired flavours to the waterfront.

During the pandemic, I turned to my Gozney Roccbox and began hosting intimate pop-up pizza nights, sharing a slice of joy with local communities when it was needed most.

Today, I specialise in Neapolitan Style, New York Style, Detroit Style, Pizza Romana, and Focaccia styles. I also serve as a pizza consultant, offering support to both existing pizzerias and individuals looking to launch their own pizza ventures from the ground up.

I’m proud to be a Gozney Ambassador, promoting the craft of pizza-making across Australia through events, collaborations, and education.

Testimonials

I had Salim cater for a family do on a wet drizzly evening. A very quick set up and away he went, whipping up pizza after pizza for 45 guests. Salim was very responsive to requests and very accommodating. Pizzas were talked about weeks after the party. A highly professional caterer.

I had the great pleasure of having Salim cater my 30th birthday celebration. Salim offers an amazing service which he delivers with a high level of professionalism. He was very communicative leading up to the event and ensured he arrived with plenty of time to set up. The pizzas he made were better than restaurant quality. The dough was perfect and you could tell the toppings were of high quality.

Salim catered our Baby Shower and we were more than impressed by his professionalism, responsiveness, friendliness and amazing chef skills. Salim was great to work with leading to our event, arrived on time to set up and didn’t stop making pizzas the whole time he was at our event. Salim’s pizzas was the star of the day and our guests have not stopped talking about them. We can’t thank Salim enough and will definitely have him again for our next event.
