Classica Pizza Making Class - May 29

One Day Professional Course 10:00am - 3:00pm

Providing the perfect mix of old traditions and new technology, the Pizza Classica class teaches restaurateurs and culinary enthusiasts the secrets of making and serving this Italian staple from award-winning pizza masters. Conducted in our state-of-the-art facility, this hands-on course is designed for all levels of learning and provides practical skills to make anyone a skilled pizza maker.

When we talk about Traditional pizza we are referring to the pizza that is typically found all over Italy, thin, crispy and offered with a wide variety of topping, rather than the typical "fast-food pizza" that you see around North America. This pizza is amazing by the slice as its thin slices are easier to eat with your hands, unlike its Neapolitan rival.
