Miss River Launches Summer Pizza Series

Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans and Miss River have announced a line up of new programs celebrating the installation of a wood-fired oven on the patio, a nod to Chef Alon Shaya’s time as a pizza apprentice in Italy. 
 
The mosaic-tiled oven will serve as an action station for pizza parties akin to the backyard affairs the Shaya’s enjoy hosting in their own home. One pizza is named for Chef Shaya’s pizza mentor Chef Enzo DeSantis. In celebration of these enhancements to Miss River, Chef Enzo will travel to New Orleans from Parma, Italy for a series of events:
