I went there with my teenage son and we both enjoyed the class. Our chef, Lisa, was excellent in guiding us through the process and sharing many useful information, while keeping the good pace and making sure everyone had a lot of fun in the first place. Very enjoyable experience altogether, thank you!

The hosts are very nice and explained a lot of details about history of pizza and gelato too. Very nice activity to do with kids (over 6yo I would say)

My family and I enjoyed our experience making pizza and learning about the gelato-marking process! My son (6 yrs. old) was engaged and had a great time making his own pizza and Lisa (our chef) was kind and so knowledgeable. We appreciated her expertise and good natured humor! Would recommend!
