Uncle Joe's Pizzeria DIY Miniature House Kit 8 in by Wizardi F07M51-92-CWGC210

A red brick corner pizzeria under an Uncle Joe's Pizzeria sign and a red awning reading 210 Flavors Lane: through the glass front a pizza oven glows at the back, shelves hold jars, sauces and photos, a pizza and cheese sit on the counter, and a bistro table with a red chair, a potted cactus and a pizza menu board wait on the pavement.

A little crafter's folklore: pizza makers say the oven remembers every pizza it has baked, and miniaturists like to put one fresh pizza on the outdoor table.

Why this kit: if you love pizza and Italian cafes, this corner shop is cheerful and full of detail, with a glowing oven and a touch-switch light.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces for the shopfront, opening door and interior, printed paper details, miniature furniture and tiny accessories, an LED light with a touch switch and a hidden battery case, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a little bookshelf shop series that stands among your books, each with an opening door that keeps the dust out: try it with Bella's Ice Cream or Morita Ramen Shop. Build tip: build the inner shelves and back room first, stock them with the tiny props before closing the shopfront, and fit the touch-switch light last.

Size: 15.5 x 16 x 19.5 cm (6.1 x 6.3 x 7.7 in). A charming shelf display that sits neatly beside your books, and a sweet gift. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
