Neapolitan Pizza Party – Hands On with Chef Michelle Pellegri
Everyone loves pizza. But there is a world of difference between pizza and great pizza — and that difference starts with the dough. Join Chef Michelle Pellegri, creative owner of Roswell Baking Company, for a hands-on evening that takes you deep into the art and tradition of Italian pizza making, from the legendary streets of Naples to the creative, regional variations that make Italian pizza culture one of the richest in the world.
This class goes far beyond a single pie. Chef Michelle guides you through the essential techniques of mixing, shaping, and baking authentic Neapolitan-style dough — prized for its light, airy crumb and those irresistible, beautifully blistered edges — before exploring a range of regional and creative pizza styles that will completely transform the way you think about homemade pizza. Whether you're a devoted pizza enthusiast or a home cook ready to take your skills to the next level, you'll leave with the confidence and the technique to recreate a full Italian pizza party in your own kitchen.
What's on the Menu:
- Neapolitan-Style Pizza: The foundation of everything. Chef Michelle walks you through the art of crafting authentic Neapolitan dough from scratch — proper hydration, fermentation, and the shaping and stretching technique that produces that signature light, airy crust with beautifully blistered, charred edges. You'll top and bake a variety of pies, exploring how simple, high-quality ingredients define the Neapolitan tradition.
- Spaghetti Pizza (Frittata di Spaghetti): One of Campania's most beloved and inventive street food traditions. Chef Michelle introduces you to the frittata di spaghetti — a golden, crispy spaghetti cake that is equal parts comfort food and culinary revelation. A dish that will surprise and delight every guest at your table.
- Crispy Deep Dish Pan Pizza: The satisfying, indulgent counterpoint to the airy Neapolitan. Learn the technique behind a properly executed pan pizza — thick, crispy-bottomed, and deeply flavorful — and discover why the pan method unlocks an entirely different dimension of pizza making.
- Dessert Pizza: The sweet finale that proves pizza can do anything. Chef Michelle rounds out the evening with a creative dessert pizza that showcases just how versatile great dough can be — and sends you home with one more reason to keep the pizza oven warm.
- Lemon Gelato Prosecco Cocktail: No pizza party is complete without the right drink. This bright, refreshing lemon gelato Prosecco cocktail is the perfect companion to an evening of great food, great technique, and genuine Italian celebration.
Come hungry, bring your enthusiasm, and get ready to throw the best pizza party of your life.
