Dubai has a brand-new family attraction, and it is serving much more than pizza.
Dodo Pizza has officially opened the city's first Kids Pizza Academy in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), creating a dedicated space where children can learn real cooking skills while having fun. Instead of another indoor playground, this experience lets kids become mini chefs, preparing and baking their own pizzas from scratch.
Designed for children aged 3 to 12, the academy combines learning, creativity, and entertainment under one roof, making it one of Dubai's newest destinations for families.
A Real Kitchen Built Just for Kids
Every session takes place inside a fully equipped teaching kitchen where children prepare dough, choose toppings, bake their pizzas, and enjoy their finished creations.
Classes are divided into two age groups to create a comfortable learning environment:
- Little Chefs: Ages 3–7
- Main Chefs: Ages 8–12
Experienced instructors guide every session, helping children develop confidence, teamwork, and practical cooking skills through hands-on activities.
More Than Just Pizza Classes
The Kids Pizza Academy is designed to be more than a cooking school.
Families can also book:
- Birthday parties
- School field trips
- Holiday camps
- Community events
- Special celebrations
The venue also includes spaces where children can read, play, discover new activities, and spend quality time with friends and family.
Birthday Packages Are Already Available
Parents looking for a unique celebration can choose from several birthday packages.
Packages start from AED 130 per child on weekdays and include pizza-making masterclasses, meals, drinks, party hosting, and graduation certificates. Premium options add themed decorations, entertainment, mascot appearances, gifts, and celebration cakes.
Why Families Are Loving It
As parents continue searching for activities that encourage creativity away from screens, the Kids Pizza Academy arrives at the perfect time.
Rather than passive entertainment, the experience gives children practical skills while making cooking enjoyable. Every visit combines education with play, creating memories that go beyond a typical family outing.
With daily masterclasses, birthday celebrations, camps, and school programmes, the academy is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new family experiences in Dubai.
