Mozzarella & Pizza Making Class

There's a moment in this class where you pull a warm ball of fresh mozzarella out of the pot, stretch it between your hands, and realize you just made real cheese — start to finish, in your own two hands. That's the moment people come back for.

We start with pizza dough. You'll mix it from scratch and let it rest while we move into cheese making, so by the time your dough is ready, so are you. Mozzarella is one of the most approachable cheeses to learn because it comes together fast — no aging, no special equipment, just curds, hot water, and a little technique. You'll heat and stretch the curds yourself (this is the part everyone films for Instagram), shape it into a ball, and set it aside to cool while we turn to the fun part: building your pizza.

Every student rolls out their own dough, builds their own pie with the toppings provided, and bakes it start to finish. Then we sit down together and eat what we made — pizza topped with cheese you made with your own hands, about 30 minutes after it was still curds in a pot.

This class is genuinely beginner-friendly. If you've never worked with cheese or dough before, you're in the right place — we walk through every step together, and there's no wrong way to stretch mozzarella your first time (it's part of the fun). If you've taken a cheese class before and found it rushed or confusing, this one is built to actually make sense, at a pace real life allows.

You'll leave with a fresh ball of mozzarella you made yourself, a baked pizza in your stomach, and a technique you can genuinely repeat at home with nothing more than curds and a pot of hot water.

This is a per person fee. This class is so much more than making cheese — it's the kind of hands-on, real-life cooking win that makes the next thing you try in your own kitchen feel a little less intimidating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the class take?
This class runs about 2 hours, including hands-on cheese making, pizza dough prep, and eating what you make.

No — this class is beginner-friendly. You'll be walked through each step, and every student makes their own mozzarella and pizza from scratch.

Are there allergens to know about?
Yes — this class involves dairy throughout (mozzarella-making is the core activity).

Great Mozzarella and Pizza Making Class

I had a wonderful time learning how to make mozzarella cheese and never dreamed it would be as easy as it is. Sharon made the class so enjoyable and my cheese and pizza we delicious! Can't wait to make some at home with the take home kit.

Easy cheesy Mozzarella and Pizza

I’m always amazed that we’ll actually finish two foods within two hours, but we did. Sharon is so prepared that we made 30-minute mozzarella and then made a pizza to take home. 🍕

Pizza and fresh mozzarella

I went to this not really knowing what to expect and the class exceeded any expectations anyone could have.
Sharon is so patient and works with each individual as is they are the only one there, yet conveying the message to everyone.
The class was not only a learning experience but wonderful community experience.
I’d recommend you consider taking one yourself or like others in my class give a gift of a class.
Thank you Sharon! Already signed up for another class.

Thank you, Pat, for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the class and appreciated Sharon's teaching. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Fantastic Night!

This was the first class that my husband and I attended! It surpassed our expectations! Sharon was warm, friendly, and enthusiastic in sharing her passion of cooking! Everything was beautifully laid out. After we prepared our mozzarella and pizza, we enjoyed a lovely meal together, then left with kits to replicate the meal at home!
