LAS VEGAS – Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, famous for its award-winning, hand-tossed, coal-fired brick oven pizzas and calzones, partnered with Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation on Wednesday, June 24 for a summer day camp pizza making class for students with visual imparities or blindness. Twelve students ranging from six to fifteen years old spent a morning learning the history of pizza, the layout of a Grimaldi’s Pizzeria restaurant and the hands-on steps it takes to build a one-of-a-kind pie.
Grimaldi’s employees guided short lessons covering the basics of how to make a pizza. The students learned how to stretch the pizza dough, appropriate use and need of flour, and the placement of cheese, toppings and sauce. After learning the pizza-making process, children enjoyed lunch featuring their own personal creations.

About Grimaldi’s Pizzeria:
In the world of pizza, Grimaldi’s is an institution that has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country with more celebrity sightings than most 5-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a “secret recipe” pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi’s serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family oriented pizzeria. The intense heat of the oven evenly bakes the pies to create Grimaldi’s famous crispy and smoky thin crust that Zagat has voted best pizza year after year. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria has five locations in Las Vegas and one in Sparks, Nev. Las Vegas locations include The Shoppes at The Palazzo, Rainbow and 215, Boca Park Fashion Village The Fashion Show Mall and Richmar Plaza. The Sparks restaurant is located in The Legends at Sparks Marina.
