Pizza Topping Practice Activity: Turning Recipes into Interactive Learning Alyssa Bunkley, Training Specialist Dewey’s Pizza

Objective

Teaching recipe builds is foundational in restaurant training—but too often it relies on passive methods like studying menus, reviewing flashcards, or practicing directly on the line. Dewey’s Pizza wanted to transform recipe training into an interactive, waste-free experience that allowed team members to build confidence before ever touching real ingredients.

How it Works

Using Articulate Storyline, we created an interactive pizza topping practice activity that simulates the build process digitally. Team members select toppings one at a time in the correct order, receiving immediate feedback if a selection is incorrect. Once completed successfully, the system displays a pizza chart outlining the ingredients, their order, and portion amounts. The activity mirrors real build standards while creating a psychologically safe environment where learners can practice, make mistakes, and try again. The template can be customized for any recipe build and is available for others to adapt within their own Storyline projects. This flexible tool can be used for new hire onboarding, seasonal menu rollouts, remedial training for

team members who need reinforcement, or re-training for employees returning from leave.

Results

The interactive approach has increased speed to efficiency, reduced food waste, and improved team member confidence. By shifting recipe training from passive review to hands-on digital practice, Dewey’s Pizza has created a scalable solution that strengthens both performance and engagement.
