A fun and memorable experience! Everyone in our group had a great time and said the pizza was one of their best meals on our whole trip. We're looking forward to trying the recipes at home.

The class was very easy to follow. Our teacher, Andrea, helped us to make excellent food and also talked us through the history of each dish. The available pizza toppings included olives and anchovies, which were top-drawer, and everyone should try those. The ice cream was great too. Lastly, Andrea talked us through the do's and don'ts, like how we should never put pineapple on pizzas, an important lesson.
Great experience! Do it!

Fun to experience to do with the kids. We did the pizza and Gelato class, which the kids enjoyed. The Gelato portion wasn't as hands on since the instructor made a batch for the class, but she did have the kids pour the ingredients. Kids said it was their favorite thing they did that day!
