“Having attended Pizza University, I realized tremendous value for myself and the Travelers team! The education provided was critical as a learning opportunity, and I believe all of my culinarians should attend in the future.”

I'm already in the industry and coming in to see what new ovens, as well as the techniques of neapolitan pizza, was something that I need to do to sharpen myself.

Peppe and Giulio were just phenomenal. Their passion about pizza is just unmatched in the industry and they truly the heart of teachers. They really got hands in with the students and helped us learn our new skills.

I came all the way from Puerto Rico to take classes with Maestro Starita and Ciro Iovine who taught me how to do all the techniques for great Neapolitan pizza from beginning with the dough to the finished pizza.

The class was super informative, very hands-on, we had a lot of training opportunities and I feel like everyone in the course including myself got better at making pizza and got better at this craft.

Overall the course was excellent. You're talking to a guy that really is starting from scratch with this. I have a Southwestern restaurant moving over to an Italian theme. Pizza is a new concept for me and they made it very comfortable, very fun and you learn a lot throughout the whole course.
