Perfect Pizza

with Dan Roberts of Apizza Scholls

Portland’s favorite Apizza Scholls is famous for its perfect pies. The pizzas have heavenly crusts, with textures ranging from crackly and flakey to soft and chewy, and only the most luscious toppings. Their mission in life is to keep the craft of the pizziaolo alive and inspire others to do the same.

Daniel Roberts first learned to make pizza from his grandmother and father as a child growing up outside of Philadelphia. Pizza making has been his passion and, often, his profession ever since, working at a number of shops on the east and west coasts . For the last two years Dan has been a pizzaiolo at  Portland's Apizza Scholls, honing his craft with owner/pizzaiolo Brian Spangler. In his spare time Dan writes and sings songs.

In this class, he will teach you the most important factors in making a great pizza and how to control them: proper dough fermentation, oven management, and using the freshest, highest quality ingredients available. He will demonstrate his four most popular pizzas and more.
