Pizza a Casa's Pizza-Making Classes
Groups can show off their pizza-making skills during private classes at the Pizza a Casa Pizza School on the Lower East Side. The four-hour teambuilding activity begins with founder Mark Bello teaching students how to make their own dough from scratch. As it rises, Bello lectures on pizza-making techniques. Participants spend the latter part of the class making (and eating) their own creations. Guests leave with leftovers, extra dough, and instruction booklets. Private classes cost $1,850 for as many as 16 people.
