Team Building Details

Get your most valuable assets out of your office and into a super fun, once in a lifetime experience!  Treat them to a pizza making experience and have them make their own pizza from start to finish.  This is our fastest growing offering to date.  It's just a really fun experience and allows people to let their hair down so to speak.  We can get very creative with this class by breaking people up in teams, creating contests with prizes, give-aways, etc. 
 

Two class options:

​

1.  Pizza Learning

​

This class gives you the full pizza-making experience from making the dough, the sauce, assembling the pizza, and learning tips & tricks on how to bake apizza correctly. Class starts with a fun lesson in dough tossing, followed by a quick New Haven Pizza history lesson, then it's pizza making time! 

 

Goal is to give you the confidence and experience to make New Haven Style Pizza in your home oven.  This class is held at Next Door in New Haven, CT or at your location if you have commercial oven or gas/electric ovens that can fit multiple steel plates.  Class runs 3-3.5 hrs.  Demo by me for all the steps, you are 100% hands on making your own pizza from start to finish (stretching the dough to cutting the pizza in the box before you eat it).

​

I teach you how to make the dough and sauce, all ingredients sourced from one place to make this process easy for you to recreate at your home.  Next, I show you how to ball the mixed dough, stretch the dough (no rolling pin used :), assemble, launch, bake, "New Haven cut" and eat the pizza.  Additionally, I go over the importance of a steel plate to make restaurant quality pizza in your home oven.  Class time is roughly 3-3.5 hrs.  2.5 hrs. of instruction, 1 hour of pizza making.  Foxon Park soda included at the brick and mortar classes and Italian music played throughout class.

 

2.  Pizza Making

​

This class is for people who don't have any interest in learning how to make the dough or sauce and just want to make pizzas for fun. Class starts with a fun lesson in dough tossing, followed by a quick New Haven Pizza history lesson, then it's pizza making time!   I show you how to stretch, assemble, launch, bake, cut and eat your pizza, then you make your own pizza!

Both classes start with (2) large world class New Haven Style "apizzatisers" as I call them!  One traditional mozzarella pie and the pie that started it all, the New Haven Plain/tomato pie (dough, sauce, pec rom, oilve oil and garlic).

 

Free Foxon Park soda and Italian music played through out each class.

Shirts and aprons are available for additional fee as well as take aways from the class.  I love to talk to people as there are many options we can do such as pizza making v. pizza learning, fun competitions, etc. 

 

BYOB including bottle openers, glasses, ice, etc.  You can bring any desserts, apps, drinks you desire.

​

Team building classes are done during the day, Monday through Friday, 10 AM - 3:30 PM.  The only later afternoon/night I can do is Monday night right now.  I rent an awesome space in a pizzeria, but they are a working operation who opens every night except Mondays from 4-9 PM.  Working on some alternatives as I write this.
