Chef Scott was amazing! My fiance and I had an amazing night learning how to make pizza. Parking near our building is not easy and Scott found a spot with ease. The night was great and Scott also gave us his recommendations for restaurants in Chicago. We are looking forward to many more amazing pizzas to come!

You will be guided through the steps of mixing, kneading and rolling out your homemade dough, topping it with your desired sauce, cheese and toppings of choice and baking it in the oven at the proper temperature. You can expect to connect with fellow pizza lovers from the area and potentially leave with a few new pizza night buddies. You will have full access to a master chef from the Houston area who will answer any and all questions you may have when it comes to the pizza making process and you will, of course, get to taste your pizza at the end.

What are the benefits of taking a Pizza Making class?
Why order a pizza to go when you can reap the many benefits of a pizza cooking class? Not only will you hone your culinary skills from creating flavor combinations to achieving the perfect crunch (or chew, up to you) on a pizza crust but you will also engage in new ways with your cooking companions and leave the class with new connections. You will also have behind the scenes access to a local chef who is at your disposal to answer any and all questions that arise during the pizza cooking process. Of course, you will also get to eat your pizza, which is arguably the most important benefit of all.
