Pizza, Music & More Pizza

Last Tuesday, students were welcomed at the local, hidden pizzeria ‘Pizza e Musica’ for yet another infamous Umbra’s Pizza Workshop. Pizzaiolo (pizza-maker) Gerry and pizzeria owner Felice were ready to share the art of pizza making with students, showing off a few cool dough tossing tricks and spins. After hearing about the history of pizza, the mechanics of the oven and the cooking process, students worked one-on-one with the pizzaiolo to create their very own pizza masterpiece. Did you know it takes only 90 seconds to three minutes to cook a pizza in a wood fire oven? This means students didn’t wait long to enjoy their hard work. The favorite of the night was by far the Nutella pizza! A sweet way to end the night.
