Pizza and Puck

Wolfgang Puck celebrated his new line of all-natural frozen pizzas last weekend by throwing some dough around at a little pizza party for a group of mom bloggers and their kids.

Kate is a budding chef – a survival mechanism, I think, to help her poor kitchen-phobic mom. So, she was thrilled, despite not really having a clue who Wolfgang Puck was. Jack is a good sport and will go along with just about anything, so he dove into the dough with both hands (literally).

And I'll admit it, I got a little starstruck when the man himself strolled into the Wolfgang Puck Bistro is Westlake Village, ready to roll up his sleeves, fling some flour and get the kids cookin'. He even brought along three of his four children, including Oliver, 4, and Alexander, 2-1/2. They made pizzas with the other half-dozen or so kids, with Wolfgang giving each child the special attention they deserved.

The kids got to chow down on their own creations while the moms devoured the new pizza line (Four Cheese Tomato and Pesto, Uncured Pepperoni, Cheese and Tuscan Style, available starting this week at Albertsons). We also sampled the new menu items that will be rolling out at the Wolfgang Puck Bistros (in Westlake Village, Downtown L.A., and Universal CityWalk) this week. While Wolfgang shuffled plates of hearty Schnitzel and heavenly vanilla bean cheesecake to share around the table, I felt as though I was sitting around his dining table, sharing laughter and a great meal with a fellow food lover.

And the best part? Caught some highlights on video:
