When Kenny Bowers was preparing to open Kenny’s East Coast Pizza in 2016, the acclaimed chef/restaurateur knew he’d be judged on the simplest of things. For Bowers, that meant making the perfect cheese pizza. He knew with such a classic and basic presentation, he wouldn’t be able to hide behind fancy garnish or techniques. It was simply about the dough, the sauce and the cheese. Now, the team at the acclaimed Italian-American restaurant in Plano is sharing its secrets with guests.
Kenny’s East Coast Pizza will host its first hands-on pizza making class at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 22. The class is limited in size so that each guest can learn perfect technique from Chef Knacho Lozano and his team. Participants will enjoy appetizers and a 3-course wine pairing while the culinary team teaches them the basics, then it’s time to get their hands (or gloves) a little dirty as they learn how to toss and stretch the dough, top the pizza and prepare it for baking. Then, they’ll enjoy a light dessert while their pizzas bake in the restaurant’s signature deck ovens. The class will also leave with a “pizza kit” to take home upon departure, with instructions to make a pizza in their own house at their convenience. Classes are $100 per person. Guests should call the restaurant at 972-519-9669 to make reservations before the 10 spots sell out! More classes will be available in the future if you miss out on this one!
Since the class is on Sunday, savvy diners will take advantage of the Meatball Sunday promotion at the restaurant. Guests can order meatballs to eat in store – or up to a dozen per person to take home – for only $1 each.
