I attended the pizza making class with my friends for my birthday. Mohammed taught us and he was so energetic, fun and kind, which made the class way better than I expected. Me and my friends really loved the experience and would highly recommend it if you are thinking of booking it! We also got drinks after and the staff were also so lovely! And the pizza we made was so good!
