Knot Your Average Pizza Class

On Friday, September 13, 2024, TCNJ Dining Services served up some serious flavor and fun during our “Knot Your Average Pizza Class” with students from the Black Student Union at the Pizza & Pasta Co. station in the Brower Student Center! Executive Chef of Retail Dining, Francis Rette along with Diversity Chef, Jose “Pablo” Naughton, led the deliciously hands-on event, showing students how to roll out the perfect dough, master the art of saucing, and sprinkle cheese like a pro. But that’s not all—students also got their hands doughy learning how to craft garlic knots from scratch!

From rolling and knotting to brushing oil and seasoning with flair, everyone added their own creative twist. Once their tasty creations hit the oven, excitement filled the air as students eagerly awaited their golden-brown masterpieces.

When the timer finally dinged, it was time to dig in! Laughter, smiles, and the smell of freshly baked pizza and garlic knots filled the room as everyone gathered around to enjoy their cheesy, garlicky, pizza-perfect rewards.
