Hands-On: Pizza alla Pala

About this Class:

It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, you’ll be diving right in and making our dish with ingredients prepared by our Eataly kitchens. Our Scuola Chef will prepare a curated antipasto for you to taste in the class. You then get to enjoy your culinary creation straight out of the oven!

About this Dish:

Welcome to the world of pizza! There are many different types of pizza across Italy. Coming from Rome, Pizza alla Pala is an oval-shaped pizza served on a wooden pala, or paddle. Thick and crispy on the outside, but still fluffy in the center, the toppings are added after the pizza is baked. In this class, you’ll make your own pizza dough from scratch.

In this Class You Will:

• Learn about the traditions and culture of Pizza alla Pala

• Observe as our Scuola Chef teaches the group how to make Pizza alla Pala
