Outside of the obvious answer (because pizza is amazing and everyone should learn how to make it), there are a lot of reasons that one would consider enrolling in a pizza making class. Despite its relatively simple base structure, pizza is an incredibly diverse kind of food and everyone is certain to find a kind of pizza that they are comfortable making over and over again. This makes learning how to make a pizza a good way to have a recipe in your back pocket that you can make for guests of any event or context.

Additionally, if you are a fan of pizza (like, statistically speaking, most Americans), you eat a lot of pizza. The average American consumes over 23 pizzas a year and this can get pretty expensive if you, like most consumers, either order delivery or heat up a frozen pizza. Learning to make your own pizza can save you money in the long run as a single pie can feed an individual for a few days or be an entire family dinner without needing to spend 55 dollars on delivery, fees and tips.

Finding the right pizza class to enroll in can be as challenging as finding the right pizzeria to call your favorite, but there are a few things that you may want to consider when you are choosing a class to enroll in. This first, obviously, is the menu, which can make or break your pizza experience. If you don’t like Margarita pizza, you don’t want to enroll in a class that teaches you how to make your own version of that pizza. Likewise, if there is something specific you want to make, learning that recipe in particular can help alleviate a lot of the trial and error process.

Second, you’ll want to select a pizza making class that matches your level of investment and intensity when it comes to pizza. Pizza making is a serious business (not just metaphorically, tens of billions of dollars of pizza are purchased every year), so some classes focus on the professional side of pizza making. Other classes, like the couples cooking classes or the pizza party classes, are more laid back and give participants more space to be creative, make mistakes and produce a pizza that, while not perfect, is still a hand-made gem.
