We recently attended a Mommy and Me Pizza cooking class at Pizzakaya Okinawa. This little gem of a restaurant is located in the back right corner of American Village, just around the corner from Mihama Kids Park.
What made this class extra special is that the establishment hosted it for one of our FB mom's groups (Playdate and Adventure) absolutely free of charge. Attendees were simply asked to bring a toy for each child attending to donate to a local Japanese orphanage. Awesome right?
Other group members with small businesses donated party supplies, snacks and even an appearance by Sponge Bob (whom I dispise, but whatever, most of the kids enjoyed his visit).
Each of the kids got to make their own pizza. Pre-made dough was provided that they got to smash down into a somewhat circular shape and add as much sauce, cheese and/or hotdog chunks as they wanted.
O was skeptical about touching the dough but eventually pressed it a few times, then spooned almost an entire bowl of sauce onto it, added her cheese one shred at a time until shown she could put handfuls on it, and added a few hotdogs. She quite amused me throughout this process. :D
While we waited for hers to cook, she ate funky flavored popcorn and stared at Sponge Bob. She DID NOT want him to come anywhere near her!
When we got O's pizza back, the majority of her toppings had slid underneath the pizza when they sliced it due to the shear amount of sauce that was on it. She ate the hotdogs and had mommy eat the rest, so I had to find her something else for dinner, lol.
Overall it was a good time for a good cause. I hope they host another one of these events in the future.
