Detroit-Style Pizza Night – Participation Cooking Class with Chef Gina

Tuesday, November 3
$89.00

Big flavor, crispy edges, and plenty of cheesy goodness!

Join Chef Gina at The Joyful Gourmet for a fun, hands-on evening celebrating the bold flavors of Detroit-style pizza! Known for its thick, airy crust, irresistibly crispy cheese edges, and signature square shape, Detroit-style pizza is a delicious twist on a classic favorite.

Roll up your sleeves and discover the secrets behind creating this iconic pizza at home! Chef Gina will guide you through the techniques for achieving a light, fluffy interior, a golden, crunchy crust, and those perfectly caramelized cheese edges. You’ll explore two delicious variations: a classic pepperoni pizza featuring authentic brick cheese and a gourmet combination of whipped ricotta, sweet caramelized onions, and roasted garlic.

But pizza is just the beginning! You’ll also prepare a beautiful Eggplant Caprese Stack, layering fresh Italian-inspired flavors, before finishing the evening on a sweet note with rich, chewy Brown Butter Apple Pie Blondie Bars.

Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast, looking to expand your kitchen skills, or simply searching for a fun night out with friends, this class is all about learning new techniques, sharing great food, and enjoying the lively atmosphere of The Joyful Gourmet.

Come hungry, bring your enthusiasm, and get ready to make some seriously delicious pizza!
