Pizza School NYC was given to me as a birthday gift because pizza is one of my favorite foods. I've dabbled in the past with making my own, but never with any real success. Until now. Let me say that this was a great experience and I was skeptical of the online format. But I was wrong.
Jenny and Mark are truly wonderful. From my needing flexibility on when I could attend to pulling my first pie out of the oven, they were simply amazing. While Jenny keeps the trains moving on time and answering questions behind the scenes, Mark is charismatic, knowledgeable and a genuinely good teacher.
I made four pies and while none were perfect (my fault), I have the foundation to build. My wife said that these were the best pizzas we've had since being in Rome! I don't think I'd go that far, but she said that we will now have one night a week be family pizza night! I think that's a resounding vote of confidence and a testimony to the quality of the online education.
I had a smile on my face after the three hours spent with Jenny & Mark, and even though it was online, I felt connected, heard and now educated. I'm going to be giving Pizza School NYC gift certificates to three families that I know that love pizza as much as I do, and I simply can't wait for the world to return to normal in 2021 to be able to take the class in person!
Thank you Jenny & Mark. For those of you on the fence, don't be. This is an amazing experience, and is money and...

I bought this class as part of a pizza themed Christmas for my wife, a displaced NY/NJ girl in Texas. Funny thing ... I mentioned it to an old friend of mine (also a Texan who grew up in NJ) and he told me that he'd sent a friend to this same place ... and it was a phenomenal experience. We certainly concur after our four hours here with a few other couples and groups.
First, these guys know their pizza. Seriously. They talk flour, tomatoes, cheese, oven temperatures, tools -- you name it, They've been in the business of tossing pizza pies, and they love pizza themselves.
My favorite takeaway from this class is my newfound ability to make classic NY-style pizza in my home oven in Houston! Of course, I can pretty much order any ingredient I want online, but we learned in this class that we really don't have to.
All of the new knowledge aside, our experience here was just ... fun. The staff was friendly, helpful and quite humorous (in addition to being pizza experts), and the class provided us an opportunity to meet, learn and eat pizza with people from all over the...
Read moreI've made pizzas at home for years, but it's never been quite right. After this class, I now know how to bang out incredible pizza at home...better than most pizza I'll ever get out (and that's saying a lot in NYC)!
The class was super-informative in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. FUN is the operative word! Instruction is excellent, the facility is really, really unique, and hey! You're learning how to make awesome pizza!
GO! You'll be thrilled!
One year follow up I'm still making pizza and I'm proud to say they get better and better as time goes on. Pizza School NYC set the foundation for me to continue learning and refining my pizza skills. The more research I do, the more I appreciate how our class set the stage correctly. In the time after your class, you may explore the how's and why's of fermentation, the beauty of time and how it plays an important role in improving fermentation, the quirks and handicaps to be overcome in a home oven...yeah, you'll maybe decide to explore all of this and more. But you'll rely on the fundamentals you learned in this class throughout your learning and exploration process.
I can't say it...
