What You’ll Do

Learn how to craft your own perfectly baked Neapolitan pizza.

Join Chef Bonicelli in an exciting Neapolitan pizza adventure cooking class where you'll learn to make pizza from scratch and bake it in an indoor/outdoor pizza oven. An experienced chef will guide you every step of the way, so you can feel like a real pizzaiolo for the day!

During this hands-on class, you'll learn how to create a refreshing Romaine Caesar salad finished with a homemade dressing and crisp, right-out-of-the-oven croûtons. You'll delve into the secrets of true Neapolitan & perfectly workable pizza dough, which you'll form by hand in the traditional way and top with an Italian tomato sauce. Top with fresh and aged Mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings, then pop it into the 850-degree indoor/outdoor pizza oven where it will cook in just minutes. And the best part is you get to take your own dough home to bake in your own oven.

Finish with freshly made gelato and Italian biscuits. Delizioso!

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Laura’s Neapolitan Pizza Adventure was a fantastic experience. We loved learning how to properly create and handle the dough, the importance of restraint with toppings, and watching the pizzas beautifully brown and bubble in the Ooni oven. The kitchen was perfectly set up for our small group of six, the food was delicious, and the warmth of Chef Laura and her husband’s home was truly the icing on the cake. My partner and I are already looking forward to taking more of her classes in the future.

The "Recreating an Italian Kitchen" class with Chef Bonicelli was everything we had hoped for - a lot of fun, we learned techniques and were given recipes which I'm sure we will use in the future, and the food was amazing and we made enough pasta to take some home and freeze! Her kitchen was perfect for the class, she is VERY organized and a wonderful teacher. I'd highly recommend this class.

Learned how to make potato gnocchi, and two simple sauces to create a really tasty, unique meal, along with a few other dishes. It was fun, informative, and intimate. Only five people in our class. And it was right in Chef Bonicelli's kitchen. Pretty fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend.

We loved the class. The food was absolutely delicious. French onion soup, coq au vin. But the highlight was making pasta. I never thought I’d be able to do it.

We had such a fabulous time learning how to make pasta with Chef Bonicelli! Everything we made was so delicious. I would highly recommend cooking with Chef Bonicelli in her beautiful spacious kitchen! Fun experience to do with friends and family.

Carla Urban

17 Apr 2025

She is engaging; food was yummy; I liked the small group (6 people). The set up, supplies and space were great. Making the pasta was really fun. Other than that, actual cooking was limited and suitable for newer cooks. But I was there with my 2 sons, who fit that description, so it was fine.

Chef Laura Bonicelli and her husband Mark were so welcoming and created a great fun atmosphere in their beautiful kitchen. Myself and three friends did the Delectable Italian Fare From Scratch Cooking class and it was so well done and prepared. The food that we made, including making our own pasta and sauces from Chefs recipes, were absolutely delicious. Chef Lauras knowledge and expertise at cooking was top notch. She guided us and answered all our questions. It really felt like we were a group of friends cooking at a friend’s home. I highly recommend this or any of Chef Laura’s classes. A+

David

21 Mar 2025

What an incredible experience! I went to this class with my partner as a fun date night/Valentines gift. The menu was great, as well as the atmosphere. I enjoyed the gentle guidance along the way, making the experience encouraging towards your cooking abilities, rather than feeling like criticisms. The class was well-structured and it is very apparent that Chef Bonicelli has put thought into the setup, delivery, and of course the food throughout the evening while still adapting to the pace and differences in all folks attending. I also love the fact that there were at least a couple night’s worth of leftover prepared pasta to bring home! Overall, this was a wonderful way to spend an evening — learning more about cooking while making good food in a relaxed and inviting space.

Chef Bonicelli and her husband Mark were so inviting from the moment we walked in. Simultaneously, it felt like we were at a high quality culinary class and also a dinner with friends. It was a refreshing evening. Chef is knowledgeable yet approachable, and made everything super easy to understand. We would definitely take another class (probably the pizza one!!!). Thanks! -Sam and Brynn

Chef Bonicelli was great! My fiancée and I have never been to a cooking class before, and this exceeded our expectations! She not only taught about technique, but explained the history and the why behind what she does. Could not recommend enough, 10/10!

Maggie Manteuffel

18 Jan 2025

Incredible class!! I learned so many useful and practical things! And Chef Bonicelli was incredibly prepared, thoughtful and warm. Highly recommend!

Courtney

18 Jan 2025

I thoroughly enjoyed this class!!! Chef Bonicelli was so warm and welcoming in her home, that I felt relaxed while cooking. Cooking new things can intimidate me; so, being relaxed while making biscuits and pasta proves that Chef Bonicelli is an amazing teacher. After taking this class, I’m planning to invest in a pasta machine so I can make fresh pasta at home.

Tim

12 Jan 2025

It was a great experience from start to finish!! The food was delicious, the knowledge shared was amazing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will be booking more cooking experiences with Chef Bonicelli and others as a result!

Mrs. Bonicelli was so kind, helpful, and understanding for a beginner like myself. The class was super fun!! We got to learn how to make some great food from (mostly) scratch, and the Chef was guiding us the whole way. The setup was clean, put together, and very professional while maintaining a cozy, at-home feeling. We would absolutely book again and will be recommending this for our family and friends! Thank you Chef!!

Five stars is not enough to express the feelings this family has towards our experience with Chef Laura. The family was gushing for hours following our class and we are fully planning on going back for more classes offered by the chef. The conversations were great, the laughs were contagious and the food was fantastic. Thank you for a fantastic evening, Chef! We’re super excited to start practicing our new cooking talents :)

I have been enjoying Chef Bonicelli's recipes and classes for many years. I have fond memories of my family taking a class together! While I am a fairly practiced cook, I always learn something and get inspired! I am so glad that Laura is starting classes again.

Mark

31 Jan 2024

I found Chef Laura's pasta-making class a fantastic experience, she showed her deep knowledge of Italian cuisine and definitely has skills for teaching. She demonstrated many pasta-making techniques, and I thought we all learned the skills and felt competent. I loved Laura's stories of Italian culture, her family, and the food industry. Her tips and methods were invaluable, making it seem simple. The best part? The recipes and food were delicious. I left inspired and ready to share my new skills with friends and family.

Cheryl

The food was delicious and Laura was great, however there was less hands-on experience than what the website/class description led us to expect.
