The Family Pizzeria
EAT 916 / Length: 4 hours
Cost: $99
Step behind the counter and turn pizza night into a collaborative art form. This interactive 4-hour workshop is specifically designed for parent-and-child duos (Mother/Son, Father/Daughter, or any favorite guardian pairing) to work as a culinary team. Together, you will dive into the science and joy of pizza making. You will learn the physics of yeast activation, the tactile fun of kneading dough, and the secret to balancing a vibrant, never-cooked tomato sauce. While the dough rises, we will cover the “etiquette of the slice”—including the cultural traditions of Neapolitan pizza eating, table sharing, and how to cleanly manage stringy mozzarella without a fork and knife.
Note: Each member must register separately.
