Kids Pizza Making Class 2026 in Dubai

The Kids Pizza Making Class at Time Out Market in Dubai gives children aged 4 to 10 a full hour at the counter with the team from Pitfire Pizza, stretching dough, choosing toppings and baking a pizza that is entirely their own. The sessions run on Sunday mornings on Level 3 of Souk Al Bahar in Downtown Dubai, with the final class of this run on 8 November 2026.

Inside the Kids Pizza Making Class in Dubai

Time Out Market Dubai has partnered with Pitfire Pizza, one of the kitchens inside the food hall, to turn its pizza counter into a classroom for young cooks. The format is simple and practical. Each child is given fresh dough and shown how to stretch it into a base, then moves on to sauce and toppings before the pizza goes off to be baked.

The Pitfire team leads every step, so the children are doing the work themselves rather than watching a chef. That matters for this age group: a four-year-old pressing out dough and a ten-year-old arranging toppings with care are both getting a real kitchen task, pitched at a level they can manage.

The class lasts 60 minutes. That is long enough for the whole process, from raw dough to a hot pizza on the plate, without stretching the attention of the youngest participants.

What Each Young Chef Takes Home

The pizza is the main reward, and the children get to eat what they have made once it comes out of the oven. The class also comes with a few keepsakes that make it feel like an occasion rather than a quick activity:

• an official Junior Pizzaiolo Certificate, the title given to a pizza maker in Italy
• a chef hat and an apron to take home
• a small bag of take-home goodies

The hat and apron tend to get a second life at home, which is part of the appeal for parents who would like the interest in cooking to continue after the morning is over.

Who the Class Suits

The class is designed for children aged 4 to 10. Younger children in that range will enjoy the hands-on dough work and the pride of eating their own pizza, while older ones can take more control over how their pizza looks and what goes on it. It works well for siblings close in age, for children who already like helping in the kitchen, and for those who are picky eaters, since choosing their own toppings often makes them more willing to try something new.

Because it is a ticketed class with a set start, it is also an easy plan for a small group of friends, with each child booked as a participant.

Time Out Market at Souk Al Bahar

Time Out Market Dubai occupies Level 3 of Souk Al Bahar, the Arabian-style shopping centre next to The Dubai Mall. The market is a food hall that brings together kitchens chosen by Time Out’s editors, with Pitfire Pizza among them, and its terrace looks out towards the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain.

Souk Al Bahar is linked to The Dubai Mall by a footbridge across the lake. The nearest Metro stop is Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station on the Red Line, connected to the mall by an enclosed walkway. Since the class takes place in the morning, the food hall is quieter than in the evening, which suits a children’s session.

Making a Morning of It in Downtown Dubai

With the class finished by late morning, families are already in the middle of Downtown Dubai. The fountain promenade sits directly below Souk Al Bahar, and The Dubai Mall, with its aquarium and play areas, is a short walk away.
