Waterbury high school students get pizza making lesson from local restaurant

WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — Students at Wilby High School in Waterbury got a delicious lesson on Thursday.

The school’s culinary class got to try making pizza alongside the owner of Domenic and Vinnie’s Pizza. Teachers said that this kind of lesson teaches kids important life skills.

“We [have] been doing this for a long time,” Michael Annenberg, owner of Domenic and Vinnie’s pizza, said. “Basically, our work force is our kids. so when I have a chance to show these kids what to do — and I may get a couple of employees out of it — it has a bunch of rewarding benefits.”

School leaders said that they were able to use state and city funding to get all-new kitchen equipment to step up the culinary program.
