Health and Hygiene

As a member of the PizzaExpress family we have adopted an educational program that has been applied to most PizzaExpress restaurants in England. A very successful program for primary schools that has already been started by PizzaExpress Cyprus and takes place at both Limassol (Columbia) and Marzano (Nicosia).
Our educational program is mainly addressed to children of the ages 5 -10 years and its duration is 2 hours

The basic idea behind this program is to present to the children a real workplace making them share a unique experience they will never forget. The children get familiar with terms such as: hygiene, health and safety, ingredients, food technology, cooking, mathematics and geography.

The aim is to enforce children's social interaction, teamwork and job satisfaction. Our staff introduces to them the key-roles of the chef, manager, cleaners, and waitering. They also present the importance of a rich menu as well as discussing with them the concept of problem solving and map reading (guided by the origin of our fresh ingredients).

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to expand and enrich your children's/pupils experience in a safe and fun environment.

We provide: Context, setting, expertise and Food!
You provide: The children and the transportation!
