5.00It was amazing, we got directed by Frederico and Roberta on how the make the pizza step by step, Frederico threw in some funny jokes around, music playing in the background, got to eat the pizza when it was done, gave us a box to take the rest home and Roberta showed us how to make the gelato, and let people go in and help, had pop, water and wine, and some minutes to get to know each other and hang out, and got Polaroid photos to take home about the experience. Overall insane experience, had to wait outside for 2 minutes extra though.
Fun
