  • 4/5 from Kay Chua, attended Apr 2026: The teachers were great, pizza & wine was also yummy to end with. However, would’ve loved to have the option to pick wha type of pizza I wanted to enjoy instead of just Neapolitan. But other than that, had a loads of fun :)
  • 5/5 from Rosa Bortolus, attended Mar 2026: My brother and I enjoyed our day making pizza. We arrived to a well organised class, with everything layed out ready for us to start. The teacher and staff were very informative and happy to answer all of our questions. The booking was simple on line, when using my gift card. We had a lovely coffe on arrival and had a pizza with a glass of wine/ softdrink for lunch, it was delicious. We were given a small gift to make our own pizza dough, but we did not recieve the full recipe for it, as we couldn't remember how much water was used. The teacher did say it was all written on a sheet inside the bag, so I didn't ask the question on how much water was to be used. We did though receive a pamphlet to make a large pizza. Besides that, we were very happy to learn all the tips, and keen to make our own. Thank you, for a lovely experience.

  • 5/5 from Linton East, attended Mar 2026: Absolutely fantastic experience, we took away a lot of tips and tricks to get our pizza base right. The drinks and end result of a perfect pizza was a bonus, plus a bag of goodies to make our own. Awesome experience!

  • 5/5 from Terry Griffin, attended Jan 2026: Very relaxed and informative day. Teachers and staff were very friendly and approachable and happy to share their expertise. I now have an appreciation of how little I know about what might be regarded as a niche topic. Inspires me to cook more and not be nervous about yeast.
  • 5/5 from Evora Davis, attended Jan 2026: Amazing staff, delicious food, incredible experience! Best mother-daughter day out
  • 5/5 from Chelsea Fraumeni, attended Dec 2025: Luigi was such an excellent teacher! We learnt how to make dough and got lots of information about how to mature the dough properly. We then practised stretching out the dough into the pizza shape before putting it into the oven. Upon arrival, we got a drink to enjoy (coffee or juice), then received another drink at lunch to have with our pizzas (wine, beer, soft drink or juice). We also got a gift bag to the home with ingredients to make another batch of dough. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the class!
  • 5/5 from Rhylee Webber, attended Dec 2025: So much fun and great value! Our pizza chef Luigi was great and we went home with some great tips to perfect our dough. Highly recommend this class as a gift for a loved one

  • 5/5 from Karena Singh, attended Nov 2025: The pizza masterclass was incredible! We learnt how to make dough and stretch it then got to have a go ourselves. I do wish we got to put sauce and choose our toppings however the class itself was amazing and the pizza was so yummy!
  • 5/5 from Anna Galeano Carnet, attended Nov 2025: really good and immersive experience. we love it!
  • 5/5 from Astrid Croft, attended Nov 2025: A gift for my husband's birthday. A great morning of some key tips that we can't wait to try replicate at home and of course a delicious lunch!
  • 5/5 from Brianna Moore, attended Nov 2025: We recently took a pizza dough and pizza-making class, and it was such a fun, hands-on experience! Our instructor was fantastic - knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about the craft. They took the time to explain each step clearly, from mixing the dough to understanding hydration, fermentation, and the perfect kneading technique. We started by making our own dough from scratch and then made pizza with already fermented ready-to-use dough. We took home our dough as well as all the ingredients to make another pizza base! The class was interactive and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get personalised tips. My favourite part was learning how to stretch the dough like a pro - not rolling, but using gravity and gentle hand movements. And of course, eating the pizza fresh from the oven was the perfect reward. The value for money was incredible and I want to do the class again! Overall, it was a wonderful class that left me excited to make pizza at home. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking or just wants a fun culinary experience!
  • 5/5 from Janet Dougherty, attended Nov 2025: Wonderful experience! The chefs and assistant were very amiable and professional. They all made us feel like it was the only class they had ever taught. I am signing up for the Gnocci class and telling friends abd family to attend the classes. Please thank the chefs and the assistant for me.
  • 5/5 from Byana Balducci, attended Nov 2025: My friends and I had alot of fun!! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Luciano Salvo, attended Nov 2025: had an absolutely awesome time. the pizzas were absolutely amazing and so were the people! must recommend if ur looking for a fun/unforgettable experience
  • 5/5 from Antonio Venuto, attended Nov 2025: All was excellent
  • 4/5 from Kyder Allan, attended Nov 2025: - chief was energetic and was entertaining. -gift bags to make what you learnt later is a great addition -alot of sitting around waiting/talking amongst selves. More activity's/ engagement would help pass time -fun evening
  • 2/5 from Mishal Kothari, attended Nov 2025: I guess we expected to learn a little more with more hands on work than we did in a 2 hour class. All we did was mix the dough together to make the ball, and then waited to stretch a ready made dough ball (but the pizza guy while showing us how to stretch did all the stretching). Wish that in a dough making class, they showed us how to first mix the ingredients, then show a semi fermented ball to illustrate what it should look like when we take it home and then what the final ready dough will look like before we turn it into a pizza. In conversation with some others, they too felt lost as to what to do after the ball was made. While the staff were friendly and you go home with a goody bag of items, I don’t think it was worth the $120 we paid each. The class should have a little more thought into it to really teach beginners what dough making looks like step by step. So you can feel like you learnt something in 2 hours. I felt we only did the dough mixing for the first 15-20 mins of the class, the rest of time was in waiting for the queue of 20 participants to stretch and cook the pizza (2 at a time only). Class ends with you eating the pizza “you made”. This is more constructive criticism for the class operators. Hopefully it’s well received.
  • 5/5 from Taryn Rodier, attended Oct 2025: Such a fun class! Paolo and Luigi were both great. They made it really easy to understand each step and were right there when you needed help. Plus ended up with a tasty pizza at the end
  • 5/5 from Marcus Scholz, attended Oct 2025: Nice chill class. Good to finally learn the basics. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Teresa Phan, attended Oct 2025: The teachers were very good and experienced. I liked that we got to see the full process of making the pizza and to enjoy it with a glass of wine at the end.

48H Pizza e Gnocchi Bar
48H Pizza e Gnocchi Bar

4.8 (583)

48H Pizza & Gnocchi Bar opened their first restaurant in South Yarra in 2015 and quickly became a local favourite. Owners Fabio Biscaldi and Michele Circhirillo have been serving seasonal and artisanal small plates, handmade gnocchi and pizzas inspired by dishes that they grew up with.
For us, 48 hours is the minimum time required for the dough to rise. A dough that has been leavened for 48H with natural yeast will make your pizza light, fragrant and aromatic… just like in Italy. Natural yeast has been used for generations in Italy. In fact, back in the day, only one person in the village would have natural yeast and they would use it to barter goods with. Bread was made once a week, and in some villages, just once a month, so natural yeast had to be bartered or families would go without their bread…. a sacrilegious thought to any food-respecting Italian!
At 48H, we want to respect and maintain these traditions and introduce you to true Italian flavours, remastered for today’s refined palates.
Buon Appetito!
