  • 5/5 from Brodie Smith, attended Mar 2026: Everyone needs a Mario in their life! Explained everything, had a full understanding and experience in making dough, making pizzas, ovens and the whole lot, would just pay for another class for one of his pizzas! Was too busy enjoying to take photos or videos!
  • 5/5 from Amelia Jensen, attended Jan 2026: We did the Wood Fired Pizza Cooking Class today and it was excellent! Mario was an incredible teacher who had an in-depth knowledge on the art of pizza-making. The class was perfect for both experienced cooks and total novices (even if you can't cook an egg, by the end of the class you can make a restaurant-quality pizza!) It was extremely fun and we all learned a lot from this - and the pizzas we made were D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
  • 5/5 from Anthony Nicholson, attended Nov 2025: Had the best time. Excellent Group to share the experience. Mario was absolutely fantastic and clearly explained the steps.

Highly recommend this experience. Anthony & Sarah Nicholson

  • 5/5 from Andy Warboys, attended Feb 2025: Joe and Mario were great teachers. Everything seemed effortless and we made pizza that was (I'd say) something worthy of selling in a restaurant, no doubt about it. I've waited a long time to get to this class, as I live out of the city. It was worth the wait. Thanks!!

  • 4/5 from Glenn Hackenberg, attended Mar 2021: Joe is a very good teacher who knows the topic very well and his experiences show through. The room is freshly renovated and is very clean and set up well for a wood fired pizza class. All the ingredients and utensils were top notch and assisted to make the practical part of the season very easy and enjoyable.
  • 4/5 from Dana Day, attended Mar 2021: Teacher was great. Very personable and knowledgeable - just a little hard to understand with the heavy accent, but after about 10 mins my ears adjusted The venue was good. Set up with plenty of space. The class timing was advertised as 3-3.5 hours. We were done in under 2.5. which was a little disappointing, but still lots of fun I learnt that gluten free pizza can be very good and that cooking in a woodfire is a craft!
