Pizza-making is now a family event thanks to zpizza’s new Jr. Chef kits, a build-your-own pizza kit just for kids.

“The Jr. Chef kits and parties transform zpizza’s quality ingredients into a hands-on activity that will keep kids entertained and deliver a delicious meal at the same time.”

zpizza, the first artisan inspired pizza chain, is now offering kids 12 and under an opportunity to create their own pizzas in restaurants or for take-n-bake. The Jr. Chef pizza kits include: ready-to-bake dough rolled out on a bake-n-serve tray, organic tomato sauce, award-winning part skim mozzarella cheese, choice of 2 toppings and baking instructions.

Pizza kits will also be part of Jr. Chef parties for kids. Parties can be hosted at zpizza restaurants or in-home, giving kids an opportunity to earn their Jr. Chef certification. Party packages include build-your-own pizza kits, aprons, chefs hats, games and Jr. Chef certificates.

“We want the zpizza experience to be fun for the whole family,” said Chris Bright, CEO zpizza. “The Jr. Chef kits and parties transform zpizza’s quality ingredients into a hands-on activity that will keep kids entertained and deliver a delicious meal at the same time.”
