Hands-On Pizza Workshop

This was an amazing class and a great way to spend an afternoon. Mark was extremely helpful and his pizza recipe is spot on. I've since made the pizza at home a few times and it's been just as delicious as it was in class. Mark gives you all the knowledge you need to create an incredible pie right in your own kitchen. If you've ever had the itch to make pizza...this is the place to learn how!

Incredibly knowledgable, enthusiastic, dedicated instructors with time-tested methods Most importantly, they took all the mystery and confusion out of the pizza making process. They really broke it down to the basic steps, made each step very intuitive and took the fear out of dealing with yeast. They articualtely explained why things are done a certain way at each stage and they offered the best practice for each step - even down to the best (and easiest) way to roll out the pizza dough. I would hands down recommend this to anyone, the novice and the experienced baker alike. Great, great class. One of the most worthwile cooking classes I've taken in the city. I hope they soon offer more beyond pizza.

The class was great and a lot of fun, and the takeaway is valuable. My sister and I grilled pizzas the same weekend using dough -- and know how -- from the class.

We am always looking for a new, fun food adventure. When we enrolled for this four hour class we thought "hmmm" ...four hours ( too long??) and a bit pricey. ....Sure hope it is worth it. Well, let us tell you...we had a total blast and it was worth every dollar. This is a unique and invigorating experience - great music and there is more than enough pizza ( made with high quality ingredients) to eat during class than you'd ever want to consume in one sitting. Mark is engaging and very accomodating. We can't wait to use our newly found "expert pizza skills" and amaze everyone this football season with fresh, gourment pizzas.

I highly recommend taking this workshop! It was something different to do and was so much fun! My husband and I learned so much and we can't say enough good things about it. Mark was so passionate and a great teacher. You will gain skills that you will use for the rest of your life. We couldn't believe the difference in the pizzas that were coming out of our oven after this class! We can't wait to try out different toppings and enjoy with our family and friends!

Mark Bello's passion for pizza comes through loud and clear, and it's difficult not to latch on to his enthusiasm. The class was informative, fun and delicious! Beginners need not worry -- our class was mostly beginners and by the end of the 4 hours everyone was able to create their own pizza masterpieces.

Great atmosphere! host was interested, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! I Learned a great deal and have changed the way I bake in general. I highly recommend this course and fun activity I have recommended this activity to all my friends Dan Destefano

I am a pizza fanatic. I have been making my own pizza from scratch for a long time. I am very good at it, HOWEVER I definitely stepped up my game by taking Mark's class. I actually learned a few tricks and the pizza we made was phenomenal. Mark and the staff are extremely helpful, friendly and walk you all the way through the process. The atmosphere of the place is cozy, welcoming and very folky with all kinds of pizza memorabilia on the walls as well as top quality pizza making supplies and equipment for sale. Mark was an art student for many years and you can tell... he puts his passion and creativity into helping others make great pizza. He shows you all his secrets and doesn't hold anything back. Now his way isn't the only way to do it of course but his pizza is as good as any pizza I have ever had anywhere in the world.....and the best thing is you will learn to make that exact pizza!!!

I have been making pizzas at home for a couple of years and some were ok, some were good and a few were real good. The problem was always consistency with the crust. Mark does an unbelievable job of walking you through all the steps of the crust, with just enough "scientific" stuff so that you will understand the concept. I made three pizzas and they were all great. Went home the next day and made my wife a Margherita pizza and she took one bite and so "oh my goodness, this is wonderful". Two thumbs up to Mark and Jenny.

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday in NewYork with my husband and I have always wanted to improve on my pizza dough making skills as we have a traditional wood fired Pizza oven back home. Now after doing the workshop I've finally nailed it ! I learnt some great tips on dough making and topping the perfect pizza. The Team at Pizza a Casa were fantastic. A fun yet professional, clean and passionate workshop. If you love pizza, then this is for you.
