About:

This class is as easy as pie – pizza pie, that is! With our wood-fired oven, you can make the pizza that your taste buds have always dreamed of. Once demos are over, the chef takes in students to roll, top, and cook their own dough while others enjoy their salad as they wait for their turn. Once everyone has their own pie baked and ready to be eaten, our staff then serves dessert.
