Roman Pizza (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment Winter 2026

This style of Roman pizza (one of several) is known as al taglio (by the slice), and it’s a great introduction to a pie whose soul is focaccia and whose style of embellishment is full-on loaded. This pizza uses a high-hydration dough you can speedily start one night and bake the next afternoon without losing your hands to the iron grip of the dough! Bake it in a pan—a square pan, a rectangular pan—a pan that you can dimple but otherwise keep your paws out of. Add toppings before and/or after baking. This is a style that invites improvisation and rewards you with a light, highly digestible pizza that you can eat alone or share with a crowd. Bring an open cardboard box to take home any al taglio pizza that you don’t wolf down in class. Why not plastic to schlep it home?—because you don’t steam that hyper-crispy crust!

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist as we will likely add additional sections.
