New York Pizza with a Difference: You Make it Yourself!

Already been to the Statue of Liberty? Seen it all at the Met? Hot dogs at Nathan’s is not your style? How about New York pizza your way? Sounds enticing, yes? Combining the delicious wonder of a New York pizza with a touch of individuality, the Pizza a Casa Pizza School teaches its students how to make artisanal pizzas minus the fancy ingredients or the high tech equipment.

Rather, the school takes its students on a journey into the world of pizza using its brilliant recipe which can be reproduced easily in the comfort of your own kitchen. The school is located in the historic district of the Lower East Side at 371 Grand Street near Essex, just down the street from the entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge.

Regina Schrambling of Entrepreneur Magazine said of Pizza a Casa that:
"Mark Bello perfected the pizza, then built Pizza a Casa Pizza School, teaching pizza-crazed New Yorkers how to do it themselves.  Last year The Village Voice declared Mark's pizza one of the three best in New York City.  And it is sensational: a thin, crisp crust paved with the ideal balance of cheese and sauce, finished with fresh basil and a drizzle of top-grade olive oil.  But you can't buy it.  You have to make it.  And this in a city with more than 1,800 pizzerias."
If you crave pizza, and believe New York has the best pizza in the world, then come learn how to make the best of the best and have it whenever you want to, in your own backyard (or kitchen or dining room, or wherever.)
