At Western Pizza South, you’ll roll up your sleeves (and maybe some dough) as our local pizza historians and chefs guide you through crafting your very own perfect 8-inch Regina-style pizza.

You’ll enjoy a step-by-step pizza-making class led by Regina’s own pizza pros (yes, we’ve found a Regina pizza historian, and yes, they take it very seriously). Once you’ve built your custom pie hot out of the oven and made with love (and probably too much cheese, just the way we like it) you’ll test your wits with some Regina pizza trivia while it bakes, with prizes up for grabs for the sharpest pizza minds (and maybe the messiest hands). Plus, there’ll be plenty of snacks and bites to keep you fueled while you wait for your masterpiece.
