Pizza Today - February 2018 - 31
The five Madison, Wisconsin-market
locations of The Roman Candle all
differ in their level of dedicated spaces
for families. Some have play areas, toys,
games or some combination of all three,
according to Stouffer. Over the years he
and his staff have tried a multitude of
things to entertain kids (including train
tables, Legos, and play structures, all of
which were big hits for a while).
"A toy in your home that would probably last five years would last five weeks
to five months here. You have to think
of the durability of things," says Stouffer,
who noted that it's vital to have a
champion on staff who is willing to keep
toys and games cleaned and equipment
maintained. The more complex you go,
the more complicated it is to maintain.
Today, his newest restaurant is structured to create the ideal balance that
makes everyone feel welcome and happy
to wait for the main course.
"We have a bar and a family friendly
space, but it's separated by the restrooms.
When you walk in, you can either go
to the bar area or the kid area," says
Stouffer. The family-friendly space features vintage video games, a shuffleboard
and booths conducive to people hanging
out. Plus, the restaurant features a peeka-boo kitchen window so that kids, as
well as kids at heart, can see how pizza
is being made.
SEEING "BEHIND THE CURTAIN" IS A FUN
AND INTERACTIVE REASON that keeps kids
entertained, parents grateful and families
coming back to Stella Barra Pizzeria.
"We think of kids as a driving force
in our business, so we wanted to make it
a point to cater to them from day one,"
says Corey Milner, associate partner of
Summer House Santa Monica, Stella
Barra Pizzeria. Stella Barra has four
locations in Hollywood, Santa Monica,
Chicago and North Bethesda.
Kids not only get to see the dough at
Stella Barra, though; they get to interact
with the chef at the pizza counter,
stretch dough and create their own
personal pizzas.
"It's super fun," Milner says. "No two
kids are alike. All of them have fun -
some are timid, some are more adventurous eaters ... some stick to cheese
and pepperoni."
And while the kids are working on
their culinary skills, their parents can
relax, for at least a few minutes.
"It's a big part of our early dining
group. It's like a built-in babysitter. It
gives kids something to do and gives
parents a break. They can sit down, have
a drink, have a cocktail," Milner says.
"It's much better than an iPad."
David Jacobson, manager of Pizzeria
Delfina in San Francisco (and owner
of the catering company I Love Fresh
Food, which features local California
cuisine and a mobile wood-burning
oven), agrees that letting kids get their
