“We had the most wonderful experience at the pizza and calzone class with Chef Antonella and her husband Chris. From start to finish, everything was beautifully organised and so enjoyable.
We began by making the dough completely from scratch, learning techniques that were easy to follow and fun to do. Throughout the class we made a variety of pizzas, cooking them both in the indoor oven and the outdoor pizza oven, which was fantastic to experience. We started with delicious appetizer pizzas that we all shared together, then moved on to preparing fresh Italian salads before creating our main pizzas. To finish, we each made either a savoury or sweet calzone — such a perfect ending!
The class was very interactive and Antonella gave us plenty of choice with toppings, which made it feel creative and personal. Antonella and Chris work like a well-oiled machine, and everything flowed effortlessly.
What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere. The table was beautifully set so we could all sit down together and share the meal we had made. It felt warm, welcoming, and like being in someone’s home rather than a formal class.
Antonella is a fantastic teacher — warm, inviting, fun, and incredibly accommodating. She even catered thoughtfully for different needs, including someone in our group with a broken hand!
Everything about the experience was fabulous — the teaching, the organisation, the food, and the hospitality. We left full, happy, and inspired to make pizza , salads and calzone at home. Highly recommended!”
“What a great evening and a wonderful class, Antonella was warm and inviting and very engaging with information and stories.
We learnt so much and was able to try some pizzas that I never would’ve imagined.
I couldn’t rate this experience highly enough.”
“Excellent class.
Well prepared and presented.
Even though My knowledge and skills were very basic at the end I got the confidence of making a decent pizza.
Without any hesitation I would recommend this class and I am happy to have more classes from Chef Antonella.
Side note: Her helping hand Chris is also amazing.”
“My partner and I had a fantastic time with Chef Antonella. Antonella is accompanied by her husband who is a great help and also very informative himself. The set up was highly professional, incredibly neat, and such a warm home setting. I could not express how much I would recommend going to this class and I’m sure any other of Chef Antonella’s additional classes. She gave us great Italian background history, reasoning behind each technique, clear simple steps, take home information to remember what we have learnt and always ensured people can ask questions. Thanks Chef Antonella for the great afternoon and we will be back for more!!!”
“Myself and my partner took this class and were wonderfully surprised at how detailed the teaching experience was. Not only was Antonella a wonderful host, with a very clean and organised set up (and an awesome playlist), but her passion for cooking truly shone as she took the time to explain both how to perform the steps with handy little tricks along the way, but also why, including the science behind the dough.
We had a random group of people of all ages, but had such a good time as everyone felt welcome and at home, sharing so many laughs throughout the night, and going home with very full bellies! Also a special shout out to Chris, best sous chef ever!!
Truly was fantastic, and we cannot wait to try this at home as we are now equipped with heaps of knowledge to impress our families. Thank you again Antonella.”
“We learnt the skills of how to make amazing pizza dough, sauces, calzones and traditional salads. Antonella shares her tips and secrets along the way in a light and fun way and teaches a multitude of ways for entertaining and day to day living.
It was such an enjoyable evening helped by her personal sous chef. After lots of searching we now know how to make the perfect dough.”
“I'm really happy I signed up for this class! It turned out to be such a wonderful experience. Antonella and her husband were truly wonderful hosts. The class was thoughtfully organised and easy to follow. The pizzas we made were absolutely delicious and tasted just like authentic ones. I wholeheartedly recommend this class to everyone!”
