JOIN AN UPCOMING ROMAN PIZZA MASTERCLASS
There is something different about making pizza with your own hands, standing in front of a hot oven and learning each step as you go.
Our masterclasses run throughout the year and are fully hands-on. You will mix, stretch, top and bake Roman-style pizza while learning the techniques that make it light and crisp.

JOIN AN UPCOMING GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA MASTERCLASS
Gluten-free pizza has a reputation it doesn't deserve. The right flour, the right hydration, the right process changes everything. This class is about understanding why it behaves differently and how to work with it properly.
Paolo covers the flours, the hydration, and why fermentation plays a different role without gluten. You will stretch real dough, bake in our wood-fired oven, and leave with the knowledge to repeat it at home.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
“I didn’t expect a pizza class to be one of the most memorable food experiences I’ve had—but this absolutely was. Paolo & Ildi are genuinely nice people who make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. I learnt so much & made good friends as well.
By the end of the class, everyone was laughing, comparing pizzas, and quietly proud of what they’d created. It didn’t feel like a class anymore, it felt like a shared experience.
We are very lucky to have the 3 grains team in Williamstown.”
“What an incredible experience. Learnt a lot and ate a lot! Highly recommend!”
“I took part in the November pizza-making class and it was absolutely fantastic! Paolo was such a wonderful host and teacher - the whole experience was fun, hands-on and full of great tips. And the pizza we made was incredible!”
“I did a masterclass in May and I recommend it to everyone, Paolo is a master in his craft. It was a lot of fun and it changed the way that I not only make pizza bases but the way I look at pizzas. Do yourself a favour, do the course and if you don’t then at least go and enjoy the best pizzas in Melbourne.”
“Attending the pizza masterclass was an incredible experience! The hands-on learning and expert guidance made it so much more than just a cooking class. I walked away with new skills and a deeper appreciation for the art of making pizza. The techniques I learned have completely transformed the way I make pizza at home. If you’re passionate about pizza, this class is a must. It’s a perfect blend of fun and learning, and the results are absolutely delicious!”
