Kids Pizza Making
US$7.95 per person
Multiple dates available
Bring your little chefs to Summer House for Kids Pizza Making! Every Monday to Thursday from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM, kids 12 and under can craft their own pizzas at the official pizza counter with our chefs for $7.95 plus tax (gratuity not included). Or opt for our tableside option, and have all the ingredients delivered to your table for the whole family to get in on the fun! Kids will wash their hands, use the flour to form the dough, spread their choice of red or white sauce, and build their zah with cheese and toppings of their choice. Once our team pops it in the oven, the pizza will be delivered back to your family’s table for an a-dough-able dinner. Please note, Kids Pizza Making is not offered during the weekend (Friday to Sunday).

Service was very slow. Waited 20 minutes for water. The amount of salmon on the salmon nachos was miniscule for the price. Overall don’t feel like we got what we paid for. Dessert was the best part.

I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience here as a testament to both the quality of the restaurant and a gentle suggestion for management. I had a 10 a.m. reservation for brunch, and from the start, I was impressed. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was nothing short of exceptional - truly, a chef’s kiss! The server was wonderful and handled everything beautifully until, towards the end, there was a little hiccup. After discreetly handing her my card, we continued to enjoy our time, but when the bill arrived, some time passed before I realized the card hadn’t been returned. I gently reminded her, and she openly admitted that she couldn’t find it at the moment. While unexpected, her honesty was reassuring, and I really appreciated how upfront she was. It spoke volumes about her integrity and professionalism. At one point, I noticed two managers nearby at the coffee station, and I half-expected mine of them to approach our table to acknowledge the situation. Safe to say, management found the card. While I am grateful for the steps they took to make up for it by removing some items from our bill, a direct acknowledgment from management would have meant even more on that moment. It’s a small gesture, but one that I believe would have made the experience feel even more attentive. Overall, though, I’m glad to say this experience hasn’t put me off. The server’s sincerity and the quality of the food have left a great impression, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for an otherwise lovely brunch!
