Looking to recreate Italian classics without gluten and make some new vegan friends? Roll up those sleeves as you experience a very unique opportunity, learning the secret pizza recipe from the team behind Australia's first Gluten-Free accredited Pizzeria, Shop 225!
Head Pizzaiolo Edoardo Nicita will teach us how to make their signature gluten-free pizza recipe with optional non-vegan and vegan toppings. By adopting these tips and tricks, you can now enjoy the flavour and texture of traditional Italian cuisine in an ethical and creative way without compromising on taste!
In the first half of this fun and hands-on class, Head Pizzaiolo Edoardo will provide a detailed demonstration before guiding you step by step on how to create your own gluten-free pizza dough from scratch! You will take this pizza dough home with you in order to allow for it to rest, and then create your own pizza at home!
In the second half of this class, you will receive a pre-made, rested pizza dough created by the restaurant, which you will learn how to roll out and shape. You will then have the opportunity to make the restaurant’s signature Margherita pizza on-site and taste their Nutella Dessert Calzone.
Once we have finished making our culinary creations, we will all sit down together to feast on our labours! By the end of this class, you will have gained the confidence and knowledge to reinvent traditional pizza, whilst also learning where to source the freshest seasonal and local ingredients appropriate for gluten-free and vegan cooking!

Pizzaiolo Edoardo
Your host will be Head Pizzaiolo Edoardo Nicita of Shop 225 in Melbourne. It was late 2016 when this humble pizza shop was opened in Pascoe Vale South. However this suburban pizzeria has already attracted a cult following of locals and people across town with its simple Italian ethos, vegan and gluten free offering. In 2018 we became the first accredited Gluten Free pizza shop in Australia accredited by Coeliac Australia. The restaurant’s focus is traditional home-made pastas and wood fired pizza made from 72-hour leavening dough. Shop 225's recipes have attracted a cult following of locals and people across town with their simple Italian ethos, vegan and gluten free offering. The team's greatest inspiration in the kitchen is drawing from their Italian heritage, whilst passionately sharing how to eat vegan and gluten-free friendly without compromising on taste.
Drool is the latest Food Experience platform to launch in Melbourne, hosting events that are designed to bring people together in celebrating our common love of food. We provide a series of in-person and virtual food experiences such as cooking and baking classes, cheese making, wine tasting and cheese pairing and cocktail making events!
Our experiences are hosted by our talented team of culinary instructors who include MasterChef Australia contestants, media personalities, Michelin star chefs, sommeliers, Mixologists and passionate home cooks! Our events are hosted from local venues all around Melbourne and support our Melbourne hospitality industry.
At Drool, we believe that in the sharing of food and beverages, barriers are broken down and we create opportunities to meet, learn from, empathise with and be inspired by one and other. Our experiences are dedicated to cultivating these connections, in creating deliciously unforgettable memories.
