Will my friends/family/colleagues/clients/boss have fun?

Since opening in 2010, we’ve hosted thousands of events for friends, families, colleagues, clients, high-level executives, VIPs, celebrities, and… everybody! As our hundreds of 5-star reviews show, there’s never a dull moment. Everyone has so much fun that they typically stay the entire time and sometimes even longer.

Do you serve alcohol?

We offer a fantastic selection of pizza perfect wines, beer, spritzes, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks. Ask to see our current beverage menu.

What if one of my guests is gluten free/vegetarian/vegan/has food allergies?

Gluten-Free: If your guest has extreme gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, Pizza School may not be the right fit, as traditional flour is used throughout the space. If they’re comfortable joining in all the dough-making and stretching fun, we’ll have delicious gluten-free crusts ready for them to top, bake, and enjoy.

Vegetarian, vegan, or devoted meat lovers, everyone is equally well catered to. Our reception pizzas are vegetarian (vegan mozzarella available upon request) and when it’s time to make their own pizzas, guests can choose from a fully stocked pantry of veggies, meats and more.

Food Allergies: All pizzas are baked in shared ovens that have cooked foods containing wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and meat. While our facility is impeccably clean, we cannot guarantee that food allergens will not be transferred through accidental cross-contact.

Why is Pizza School NYC great for team building?

Pizza School brings teams together through cooking, conversation and collaboration. Everyone gets hands-on making, baking and eating pizza together. Think of it as team building cleverly disguised as a pizza party.

What makes Pizza School NYC different from other team-building activities?

Everyone actually participates. There are no awkward exercises or sitting on the sidelines. Your team learns, laughs and eats together while making some seriously good pizza.

Is Pizza School NYC a good company outing?

Absolutely. Get the team out of the office and around a pizza table. It’s a fully hosted experience where coworkers can relax, connect and have fun together.

Is Pizza School NYC a good alternative to a company dinner or happy hour?

Of course!  You still get the food, drinks and socializing, but everyone has something to actually do together. Skip another company dinner and make the dinner together instead.

Is our team-building event completely private?

Yes. Your team gets a turnkey, fully private Pizza School experience, giving everyone the space to cook, connect and enjoy the event together.

What does Pizza School NYC handle for the event organizer?

You bring the team. We take care of the experience. Our events are fully hosted, with our team handling the instruction, flow and pizza-making experience from arrival to the last slice.

What types of teams are a good fit for Pizza School?

All kinds. Pizza School works for small teams, departments, new hires, leadership groups, visiting colleagues and companies looking to bring people together outside the office. No pizza-making experience required.

Is Pizza School good for coworkers meeting for the first time?

Yes. Making pizza gives everyone something to do together, so conversation happens naturally without awkward icebreakers or forced team-building exercises. By the time the pizzas hit the table, everyone has already cooked, laughed and shared an experience together.

Is Pizza School NYC good for remote or hybrid teams meeting in person?

Absolutely. Pizza making gives remote and hybrid teams something fun to do together when they finally get out from behind the screen. Everyone gets hands-on, making it easy to talk, laugh and connect naturally over great pizza.

Do you guys eat pizza all the time?

While we are passionate about pizza, we are equally experts in bringing people together through the unifying experience of creating and sharing food. Our guests all agree, going to Pizza School ranks as one of their all-time favorite experiences in NYC.
