  • 5/5 from Andrea Smith, attended Jun 2025: My husband and I attended Laura’s Wood-Fired Pizza class, and had such a wonderful experience! She’s extremely knowledgeable, taught valuable tips for helping my husband to improve his pizza dough, while also helping me (a beginner) gain confidence in the pizza-making process. Much of the prep work was done in advance, which made everything run smoothly and allowed us to maximize our time learning. All the food (including antipasto, salad, steak and amazing brownies, not to mention my pizza ;o)) was incredible! Would love to attend another class!
  • 5/5 from Jim van Slyck, attended Jun 2025: Laura is amazing, we highly recommend her class for anyone interested in learning something new and having a delicious meal with good company.
