Level up your kitchen skills in this Super Mario World inspired pizza-making adventure! Young chefs will jump into the Mushroom Kingdom kitchen to create their own delicious, custom Mario World Pizzas crafted with playful toppings and power-up creativity.

Guided by our Master Chefs of the Kingdom, participants will roll out dough, choose colorful ingredients, and design pizzas inspired by their favorite characters? Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and even Bowser!

From Fire Flower pepperoni patterns to Super Star cheese designs, each pizza becomes its own tasty power-up.
