Pizza School in New York City

By Alison J. Stein, About.com Guide

Since you have the opportunity to make four pizza pies, you have a menu of very high quality pizza toppings. (Fear not: pizza boxes are available to take home, or you may opt to make fewer pies and take your dough home to make later on.) You'll have a choice of red pies -- for instance a sopressata, with mozzarella, pecorino and dried wild Italian oregano; white pies -- a bacon and egg pizza made with fried sage and black pepper; and sweet pizzas, like one made with Nutella, banana and pine nuts. There are often other ingredients available, so be sure to ask what else is in the cupboard.

After your pizza is topped, it's time to pop it in the oven. (This is just a regular oven like you'd have at home, but it's still stressful.) Bello is there to help you -- and to make sure you don't allow too much heat to escape from the oven. If you miss the pizza stone, he can remedy your error with the help of giant oven mitts.
