It's time for a mid-week pizza party! Tonight, we'll be making and baking our own Detroit-style pizzas at 18 Reasons! If you've never tried this style, it originated in Detroit in the 1940s when a bar keeper decided to bake pizza in a square blue steel pan, which was typically used to carry auto parts. The crust is thick with a chewy middle, and crispy blackened edges, flecked with cheese.

Working in teams, you will learn how to make a no-knead dough that's perfectly chewy and dense. You'll will learn how to improvise and make your own signature pizza using basic pie ingredients and two base sauces - red (tomato) and white (ricotta). This class will be fun and informal with a simple goal: make a ton of pizzas with a variety of toppings!
