Pizza and Tiramisu from Scratch
This class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.
Pizza and tiramisu- two of Italy's most beloved creations, brought together in one fabulous cooking experience.
In this fun and hands-on class, you'll learn how to create a complete Italian feast from scratch. We'll begin by preparing your tiramisu, layering espresso-soaked cookies with a rich, creamy mascarpone filling. Your tiramisu will then chill while you turn your attention to the star of the show: homemade pizza.
Chef Leo will guide you through the process of preparing the dough, stretching, shaping, and topping your own pizza. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or like to get creative, you'll have the opportunity to customize your pie before it heads into the oven.
As the pizzas bake, you'll pick up tips and techniques for recreating both dishes at home, from working with dough to balancing flavors in traditional Italian cooking.
Once everything is ready, you'll sit down with fellow food lovers to enjoy your freshly made goods.
No experience necessary- just bring your appetite and a love of great food! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Each pair will make one large pizza to share (usually 16") . Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but will be available for sale at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed 21+ only please.
Chef Leo’s culinary journey began in 2013 when he helped organize Food Revolution
Day in Caracas, Venezuela, part of chef Jamie Oliver’s global initiative. This experience ignited Leo’s passion for cooking, which grew as he explored Venezuelan, Italian, and Spanish cuisines, embracing their rich traditions and flavors. In 2014, Leo launched Canela Cuisine, where he fused Italian techniques—such as handmade pasta—with the bold flavors of Venezuelan and Spanish dishes. His collaboration with Arepas Cafe led to the popular Arepa Experience, where he
taught others to make authentic Venezuelan arepas, while also honing his skills in
classic Spanish dishes like paella and tapas. Through various roles in NYC’s food scene, Leo mastered every aspect of the restaurant world, refining his expertise in Italian, Venezuelan, and Spanish cuisine.
Class will take place on the Terrace of the hotel. The nature of our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but will be available for sale at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only. For any guests booked individually, if you are part of a larger group please email hello@cocusocial.com at least 48 hours prior to your class to confirm your full booking party size and the names of the others in your group.
