    Some of our pizza creations

    My husband and I came to Pizza School for a fun date and it was perfect! We learned so much about pizza ingredients and technique, things that we can use the next time we make pizza at home. The staff were fun and helpful (thanks Shah & Rufus!) and we got to try so many new flavor combinations. They even sell beer and wine, which we enjoyed while we were crafting our creations. We also left with enough pizza to feed us for days. We loved Pizza School NYC!

    This has been my son's favorite activity so far, so it's was special to me too. We made 4 different pizzas, ate some there and took the rest back to our hotel. I just wish half of our pizza wasn't burnt. Also, our breakfast pizza had egg on only two slices, but another group had the 2 eggs spread amongst their entire pizza. Still, the experience will be memorable for years to come.

    From the first interaction over the phone, husband and wife owners were incredibly friendly, professional and responsive to my questions about the class. While I've heard this place is a good fit for large group events, we decided to do this as date night as a couple on a Sunday. The store was cozy and clean. The instructor was extremely personable. The pizza was decent. The event itself felt long, but was well organized. Make room in your refrigerator for multiple take home pizzas. Price was a bit expensive for the value, I think this visit might be better suited for large groups (6+ people or coworker team building activity). Entire staff was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you!

    Our handmade masterpiece!

    Very cool place to check out for a team bonding activity or even if you're just visiting in town! I absolutely loved how energetic the staff was and made the night pass by quickly. You definitely do not leave hungry, with plenty to take home. and there's lots of delicious toppings like ricotta and pancetta that you can use to make your own pizza. Highly recommend for a great time!

    My GF and I had so much fun doing this class and would very highly recommend this to anyone! We left this class a) totally full and slightly tipsy off the wine b) very inspired to continue to make pizza in our own home kitchen!! And best part is, even with no prev background prior to this, we left feeling VERY CONFIDENT that we could totally do it! The instructors are very knowledgeable and personable and provide lots of interesting background / useful tips in a very fun & enjoyable way. Plus, the class is SUPER HANDS ON so you can apply the tips in real time! You'll be literally completing every step... kneading the dough, choosing toppings from a pantry loaded with options, plus eating a TON of pizza. We made 4 pies ourselves to go along with 4 pies made by the instructors (yes we needed some boxes when we left). When you attend, be sure to come hungry!

    I had a great time at pizza school. We came here for a work outing and weren't too sure of what to expect. We walked in and we're all pleased. The instructors start you off with wine and pizza tastings. Once you had tried a few you go to work learning to make them yourself! You are paired up with a partner and are able to make 4 personal pizzas between the two of you. The instructors are very knowledgeable about the topics they discuss and make it a very interactive and fun experience for all. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try something different. It will definitely be a fun and memorable night!

    BEST. NIGHT. EVER!!!! How much fun can it be to make pizza? super fun!! Especially when you have a great staff to work with and a small intimate group- we had a rare group of 6! Before I decided to book this for my husband for his birthday, I read all the reviews and contemplated whether it was worth the money. Since he doesn't request much and has always wanted to attend a pizza school, I thought it'd be worth it. It sure was a once in a lifetime event. Dano, Amy and Jose were as amicable and humorous as you can get. They first welcome you and give you a drink. Then as everyone arrives, you start to take the class. I don't want to give too much away, but everything about pizza-making is pretty much covered. How to make the dough, what tools to use, what ingredients work well, what temperature to cook it in, and how to make the pie. They even had a sample ingredient tasting where you can taste their homemade sausage! You are provided with a lot of options in the pantry but also a few good quality items such as pancetta and fresh cows milk mozzarella from the famous Di Palo. The instructor Dano also made a few pies for us to sample as we went through the class. It's pretty amazing how fast the pizza cooks and how full you'll be by the time you get to eat your own first pizza! You get 4 to make and take home, and trust me, you'll be having leftover pizza for the next week. Overall there is a reason why this school has such high ratings and a high price. It's worth it to do once, and if not, it's a great gift for people celebrating huge events such as weddings!

    I just got back from the school and it was an amazing experience. Mark and Neil were just about the coolest and most hospitable guys and truly help you understand the fundamentals of making pizza. Wether youre looking for something new to try or are looking to take it to the next level this is the only place to do it in New York.

    A heart pizza with spicy honey and mozzarella!

    Learned a lot, had fun, and enjoyed delicious food!…read more My wife and I attended Thai Food cooking class at HCNY on Jan 25, 2024. The group was small, just 6 people, so we got almost a private class. Entire class was well planned and organized. Each of us got some hands-on stuff to do, we asked questions, took notes, enjoyed our meal, yet we ran exactly on time. John provided a lot of information not just on specific dishes we cooked, but also on Thai cuisine fundamentals, ingredients, and main tastes. He also shared some cool cooking tips we found useful though we are not cooking beginners. We ended up with a plentiful freshly made Thai dinner consisting of Tom Yum soup with Shrimp, Fried Fish in Tamarind sauce, Thai Red Curry Chicken, and sticky rice. All the dishes came out delicious and tasted like in a Thai restaurant! And most important we've successfully reproduced these dishes at home one week later! Thank you John, and The HCNY Crew for the great experience! We highly recommend Home Cooking NY to all who likes and learns to cook!

What also speaks volumes is when I was looking for a cooking class, ANOTHER class suggested that I look into Miette. (their space was not big enough). But I was already communicating with Sally because she is so fast with communication. The other class responded days after my inquiry. Miette was already on my books to work with!

In any event, our supervising chef was Ryan and he was great. Really energetic and helpful. There was plenty of work to do for all of us and the time went by quickly. When it came time to eat, we were all very hungry. I thought all the food was delicious. I was surprised at how generous the portions were, especially the dessert. Of course that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing. This was a really nice group activity and the staff there do a great job of getting things done so the program moves along without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend this for a corporate event.
