Fun until no pizza...

3.00Was having lots of fun making the pizzas and learning. They were taking everyone's pizzas into the ovens to bake them, ours were some of the last to make it. Everyone started to get their pizzas one by one until we never received one of ours. After 10 ish minutes of waiting we asked and they went to check in the kitchen. The chef came back and said it was at the bottom and they will go cook it. We got it back and it was not one of the pizzas we made. It was a pizza they made that they claimed was ours. Overall was fun until this issue. we wish they would have said the truth.
Fun and Informative

5.00My kids (ages 10 and 7) loved the cooking class to make Floretine pizza and gelato. Sirio’s energy level and instructions were excellent. Kept my kids engaged and we learned some great techniques that we hope to bring home with us. My kids had an amazing time. We would do this again next time.
Well worth it!
