DaPino Moscow Reviews
Think this is just another pizza joint? Think again—it's also a kids' pizza‑making school!
summarizeEditor's Summary
I dropped by DaPino last weekend and saw a bunch of kids turning dough into their own mini pizzas—seriously, it feels like a tiny cooking school for the little ones. The vibe is laid‑back, the staff are super friendly, and the whole thing is completely free, which you don’t see often in Moscow. The hands‑on fun keeps the kids busy for hours, and the pizza that comes out of the oven actually tastes pretty good. If you’re after a cheap, family‑friendly activity that’s both fun and tasty, give this a shot.

Do I need to pay anything for the kids' pizza‑making workshop?
No, the workshops are completely free. You only pay for the pizza your child eats, which is optional but highly recommended.
What age range can join the DaPino pizza workshops?
The program is designed for children aged 5 to 12. Younger kids might need a parent to stay close and help.
How do I reserve a spot for my child?
Just call the restaurant’s phone number listed for your chosen location and ask to register your kid for the next weekend workshop.
Are the workshops held every weekend?
Each DaPino branch runs its own weekend schedule, usually on Saturdays and Sundays. Check the specific location’s calendar when you call.
Can I bring my own ingredients or special dietary requests?
The workshop uses standard dough, tomato sauce, and cheese. If your child has allergies, let the staff know when you book so they can accommodate.
Is there a limit to how many kids can join at once?
Yes, each session caps at about 12 participants to keep the activity safe and manageable.
Do parents need to stay for the whole workshop?
Parents are welcome to stay, but it’s not required. You can drop your child off and pick them up after the hour‑long session.
What should my child wear for the workshop?
Comfortable clothes and closed‑toe shoes are best. The staff provides aprons, but you might want to bring a spare shirt just in case.
