A Closer Look at the Experience

How It Works: From Setup to Feast

The experience kicks off with a 30-minute setup where Maestro Giuseppe and his team bring a portable, certified indoor wood-fired oven, along with all necessary tools and premium ingredients. This means the class runs smoothly regardless of your location — no need for external exhausts or complicated arrangements.

Once everything’s in place, the class flows into dough making, where you’ll learn how to mix and knead the perfect Neapolitan base. We loved the way reviewers highlighted Giuseppe’s expertise — “a master pizza chef,” as one reviewer called him, who made the process accessible and fun. Expect to get hands-on with the dough, feeling it come together and learning how to stretch it just right.

Next, you’ll move on to toppings and shaping. Giuseppe emphasizes selecting top-quality ingredients; reviewers have noted the premium toppings used, along with the chance to craft a variety of pizzas like Margherita, Marinara, Diavola, and even a chef’s special. The process of building your pizza is interactive, with Giuseppe offering tips on achieving that perfect balance of toppings and crust.

The baking stage features a high-grade, professional-grade oven — a game-changer compared to typical home pizza tips. Guests report watching their creations cook in just minutes, producing crusts that are beautifully airy and slightly charred in all the right places. One reviewer mentioned that Giuseppe demonstrated how to build a fire to ensure consistent heat, adding a fun, educational element.

Finally, the feast begins. The all-you-can-eat format means you get to enjoy your own creations and sample those made by others. Many describe the experience as a relaxed, inviting atmosphere — “like having a dinner at a friend’s place,” as one guest put it. Cleanup? It’s all on the hosts, so you get to focus solely on eating and learning.
