- How do I book a private class?
- Email booking@pizzaacasa.com and let us know your desired date, time and number of guests, and we'll get back to you asap.
- How many people can attend?
- We can host a maximum of 16 people. With a group of 12 people, everyone will have their own pizza-making station. Groups larger than 12 will be set up to work in teams of two.
- What kind of food is available?
- For a private class, we'll start off by feeding your group some sample pizzas to quell their hunger while everyone's getting settled. We make more example pizzas during the class, and then, once everyone's dough has risen, each person (or team of two for larger groups) will make up to four pizzas each. So, with a group of 12, that's 48 pizzas minimum--delicious! We keep a pantry stocked with lots of tasty goodies in addition to what's already on the menu, so there is something for everyone.
- Do you have vegetarian options?
- Yes--all of the sample pizzas that we make are meatless, and we've keep our fridge stocked with plenty of options for herbivores and carnivores alike.
- Why do you charge a flat rate?
- To have a private class, you're renting out our entire space for you and your guests for a full four hours. This is an exclusive, memorable, entertaining experience, and thus the cost is the same if it is for one person or 16 people. Groups of 12 or fewer are welcome to sign up and join in on any of our public classes, subject to availability.
- Do you offer shorter classes?
- We schedule all classes for four hours, because, in our experience, even when we schedule classes for a shorter amount of time, everyone wants to stay and hang out and make more pizzas. It's at least four hours worth of fun. We recommend counting on three hours--even kids love to stick around and bake all of their pies.
- Can you do classes for children?
- Yes. We often have kids in our regular classes. The only request we make is that there be at least three to four adults on hand (who also participate in the class). We've had children as young as 4 years old in our private classes, and they have a great time. We have kid-sized aprons available and kid-safe pizza cutters for the little ones.
- Do you sell gift certificates for these workshops?
- No, unfortunately there are no gift certificates available for our Pizza a Casa Private Pizza Making Class. There are, however, gift certificates available for our Hands-On Pizza Workshop and they make a perfect gift for holidays, birthdays or any other occasion!

Pizza a Casa Pizza School
Since opening its doors in April 2010, in addition to three public classes a week, Pizza a Casa has hosted many, many private classes. We know how to entertain any group, be they serious home chefs or people who never cook at all. We've hosted countless corporate team-building and client-entertaining events as well as family parties and gatherings of friends. Mark knows just how to make everyone feel at home and how to entertain even the toughest crowd. We've had 100% success with private events--your guests will leave with some serious know-how, giant smiles on their faces and a box or two of incredible pizza of their own creation..
