"Thank you for the class. It was very fun, informative, and helpful. We cooked all of the dough which was left over after you left. I couldn't stop eating. Everyone here enjoyed your class and we would recommend it to anyone who has a wood-fired oven. I look forward to taking a class on baking bread."

H.F. Layton

woodfired pizza enthusiast

Woodfired ovens have become very popular now. When I built mine, it was an exploration of how to use it, cook in it, and burn less pizzas.  It was a lot of practice and self-learning to create the knowledge to host a fun pizza party without me being stressed and it being a lot of work (or having the oven go cold or get too hot!).

I wish there was a class like this back then.  I would have had less "black pizzas," and each pizza would have been round and would slide into the oven without any problems.

This class offers you the chance to learn your oven's habits and unlock your potential oven skills.
Here is the outline for the woodfired oven class:

We'll Learn:
  • timing your day
  • oven, wood, and flame management
  • dough making and recipe configuration
  • dough handling and shaping
  • sauces and topping preparation
  • pizza shaping, building and cooking
  • post-cooking pizza creating
  • serving and creative tips
Includes:
  • Frankie G's famous pizza dough
  • Margherita Pizzas
  • fire instruction and maintenance
  • recipes
  • instructional notebook
  • hands-on guidance and fun
Woodfired pizza is delicious, but there are tricks for one can learn to make the experience even more fun and easy.  Oven tips to help with fire, flame, temperature and management.  Advice on food preparation, cooking, and most importantly, flavor.

We get a lot of future, customers (people about to build an oven) asking us this question:

“I wanted a pizza oven in my backyard and had a pretty rough go until Frankie G’s class. The class was fun, we got to taste a lot of wonderful food, and I have full understanding of my oven after our time together”

M. Sicoli

woodfired oven owner

In fact, woodfired cooking lessons with Frankie G, are focused on teaching you cooking "method" over "recipes," and most importantly, learning in your own oven.  This is a personal, and very hands-on class. Each class is original and will be designed to prepare only in what you are interested.

Having a woodfired oven is the perfect reason for an al' fresco meal, and if you are the owner of an oven, you should be taking advantage of it.  The ambiance of the oven is very romantic with guests, and it's even more enjoyable when the entire meal comes from the oven's hearth. Below are a three examples of a 100% woodfired oven al' fresco meal:
Al' fresco Dinner Example 1

Focaccia appetizer
