We did the pizza making... - We did the pizza making class with our family of 6 and it was so fun! Francesco and Anya were amazing and so friendly! They taught us some great tips and we got to eat the pizza after! The wine was amazing too. They also took photos of us and sent them to us after! Highly recommend!

Best pizza and best experience in Lake Como area - If you’re not sure if you should go - this is your sign - DO IT.
It was the highlight of our trip to Como. We stayed in Menaggio and made the drive to Como for the class - it was so worth it. The hosts - Aya (not sure on spelling?) and Francesco were wonderful and personable. You’re greeted when you come in and offered a drink, and once everyone is ready to go - you begin making the pizza. The process is a lot of fun and Aya’s translation of the process is spot on. Francesco is very passionate about pizza and it shows in his work and in his talk about the process.
We’ve tried many pizzas in Italy on our trip and this was hands down the best pizza we had if you enjoy Neapolitan style crust.
Be as engaged as possible during the process and treat it as a good opportunity to get to know some local lingo, spots, and words as well. Both Francesco and Aya were very open and really tied the whole thing together!

Beautiful experience - A nice course to learn how to prepare a real Neapolitan pizza. Francesco is a very good teacher and is available to answer all questions. In addition to the course, sitting down together to eat the prepared pizzas and share your story and passion adds something special to this beautiful experience. My girlfriend and I went back to the pizzeria to eat a great pizza. Highly recommended.

Well worth the money to learn pizza making from someone with a true passion. - This was an amazing experience! It was great to learn to make pizza from someone who has such a passion for their craft. The staff were so helpful and gave us all the secrets to making perfect pizza even in just the oven at home. Plus, we left with a lot of freebies and very full stomachs. It was a highlight of our trip and I would recommend it to all. The translation was also fantastic so it is completely suitable for tourists.

You'll love the people, you'll love the experience - If you're visiting the area, this is a must.
Francesco and Eya were both absolutely amazing! Such knowledgeable and passionate people just wanting to give you the perfect experience and teach you skills you'll keep forever.
We had the choice of making so many pizzas made with different techniques and a variety of flavours.
We booked this last minute on a whim, as something to do, and now I will recommend this experience as the first thing for everyone to do on their trip. You'll love it!

Such an amazing experience - We're all over the moon with the experience we had with Francesco and Eya. It was so much fun to make our own dough, shape risen dough balls into bases (two different types!), then top and cook them.
They were fabulous hosts, encouraging us to ask questions, have fun, and enjoy our time there. We were provided with drinks, the pizzas we made, ingredients to recreate our pizzas at home, and the recipe/methodology. We were also sent photos of the experience and given a selection of prints to take home.
Overall it took 2.5-3 hours, and was well worth the cost, especially given that the class only consisted of our group. Definitely one of the best highlights of our trip!

Super pizza experience - We were undecided between pasta class and pizza class. We chose the experience of ella pizza and were delighted. Eya and Francesco were really very welcoming. The place is very nice and the food really special. We recommend it for those who want to make a culinary experience and training for excellent pizza.
