Pizza -- specifically NYC-style pizza, is a complex subject for New Yorkers. What is it that makes NYC-style pizza stand out from the rest? Some claim it is the unique taste of NYC’s tap water that makes it so special. Others swear it’s all about the sauce.
Most New Yorkers choose to trust their own expertise in these matters -- But you can’t trust a pizza guru who hasn’t done the fieldwork. Think you’re ready to earn the badges? Well here’s a healthy start.

Open Bar in TriBRICKa
We had to include this option for the hands-on crowd of folks who enjoy DIY cooking but still like their DRINKS mixed by others. We get it. Your hands are going to be full enough while you’re elbow-deep in homemade marinara. And we don’t think you should have to open your own bottle of wine, either. Or be limited to a certain number of drinks, for that matter.
If taking an open-bar pizza cooking class wasn’t already on your bucket list, it might be a good time to add it!

BYOB in Cheese-elsea
Perhaps your mission is not so much to FIND the best NYC-style pizza but to MAKE the best NYC-style pizza. Well, this is the class for you. You’ll learn the tricks of the thin-crust trade, and afterwards you’ll explore that other realm of NYC: The doughnut. Oh, did we mention this one’s BYOB?
BYOB drinks, learn how to cook, AND get a full meal (pizza and a doughnut)? Sounds like a good deal, any way you slice it!
