Archery “Let the Games Begin”
Little Beggars Chefs
Our goal at Beggars Pizza
is to teach the whole pizza
baking process from the
oven to the table.
In addition to learning the
importance of sanitation and
how to make a pizza, kids
will also be taught how to serve them; learning the importance
of customer service. Kids are able to add any ingredient they
wish to make their own special pizza creation. This is a great
way for them to learn fundamental cooking and communication
skills. At Beggars Pizza our ‘Little Beggars Chefs’ will learn a
skill that will last a lifetime! Kids will receive unlimited fountain
drinks and, of course, will get to eat their pizzas. The first week
kids will be making their own pizza and in the second week kids
will be creating dessert pizzas.
