Kids Pizza Making
US$7.95 per person
Multiple dates available
Bring your little chefs to Summer House for Kids Pizza Making! Every Monday to Thursday from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM, kids 12 and under can craft their own pizzas at the official pizza counter with our chefs for $7.95 plus tax (gratuity not included). Or opt for our tableside option, and have all the ingredients delivered to your table for the whole family to get in on the fun! Kids will wash their hands, use the flour to form the dough, spread their choice of red or white sauce, and build their zah with cheese and toppings of their choice. Once our team pops it in the oven, the pizza will be delivered back to your family’s table for an a-dough-able dinner. Please note, Kids Pizza Making is not offered during the weekend (Friday to Sunday).

If you are dining on the later side, you need to be proactive about finding out when last call for additional drinks and food/dessert is required.

It took a while to get a server and water! Finally, I asked and someone came over. Then water, then another server. My daughter ordered a simple cocktail--it took 30 minutes to arrive! Our appetizers came fairly promptly--considering. My pizza was underwhelming--far too doughy and gummy. One at the table doubted even fresh mushrooms were on the pizza, took a bite and said no more. The salmon was satisfactory. I've been a long time customer but not running back.

I love Summer House for their food, and atmosphere, but mainly it’s the cookie bar that I go back for. They used to have a fantastic gluten free chocolate chip cookie that I looked forward to. It’s now a vegan GF cookie, and it’s super disappointing. Terrible texture. Weird taste. I had to send it back.
