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).

I had the worst experience today at this restaurant. Besides being ignored and left seated at a table with water and nothing else for 15 minutes while the woman seated next to me, who arrived after me and without reservation enjoyed a waiter, drinks and ordered the meal while I sat there with water. I was seated 5 minutes before them. My guess and I were there to celebrate the first day of Kwanza, but it seemed as if they did not want to serve us at all. So sad that there are places that think it’s ok to segregate certain members of society and treat them as less. Good bye Summer House!!!!!
