Earlier this week, I took a pizza-making class at Pizzeria Stella.

The class (six of us) began in Bar Stella, a cozy side area of the restaurant. We started with appetizers (flatbread, calamari, olives, charcuterie, and chickpeas) and drinks (house red or white wine and beer). My favorite starters were the flavorful calamari and the spiced chickpeas.

We then moved to the pizza counter, where Executive Chef Allen Carringer led the class. He was friendly and helpful, and he knew his stuff about pizza. Chef Allen instructed us on how to stretch and spin dough.

We topped our pizzas and then baked in a 900° pizza oven.
My friend chose a classic with red sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and basil.
I chose the tartufo—black truffle, egg, and fontina. Yum!
