1 / 14 · The kit
Pizza 101 turns a few frozen pizzas into a real tasting. Taste rising crust, thin crust, tavern, deep dish and Detroit-style side by side, play the Pizza-Off by scoring four blind slices and guessing the brand, set out a topping bar, and make dough for 6 pizzas or a make-your-own pizza bar for a crowd. Every fact is checked, and the two adult drinks are clearly marked 21+.
