Easter Sunday was a very special afternoon for us at Domino's Pizza St Helens as we welcomed Megan, Adam and Matthew to our shop for an exclusive "Access All Areas" behind the scenes tour and pizza-making workshop.
And all they had to do to get this was bribe me with some of their spare Chocolate Eggs!
Scroll to the end to see how you can "Learn to Make Pizza with the Pro's"
After the tour round and obligatory Health and Safety Briefing we got down to the serious business of "slapping out some skins"
With very little instruction, all 3 of the Wizard's Apprentices soon got the hang of shaping the pizza bases.
Synchronised Pizza saucing should be an Olympic Sport and these 3 would deinitely get in the team!
Next up is the ancient and mystic art of cheesing. You put the cheese in the hopper and press the button. Not too much though, young man - this is a business not a charity :-)
After carefully selecting and placing toppings the pizza is ready to go in the oven. They say there are 88 million different combinations of Domino's Pizza toppings and I can honestly say that I have never seen Ham, Chorizo, Sweetcorn, Onion and Fresh Tomato on the same pizza until now! But I'm sure it tasted just fine.
By the wonder of modern technology 7 minutes later these awesome creations came out of the oven - baked to perfection.
Go on then son, just cut it into 4 man-size pieces and congratulate yourself on a job well done!
