Amazing Class! Would recommend!

kyliewilson625, Dec 2024

We had a wonderful time doing this online cooking class! Nancy was knowledgeable, helpful, interesting and kind throughout our class. She took time to understand our experience level to tailor the class to our skills. She also took time to get to know us, which was much appreciated. We all ended up with successful pizzas!! Be mindful that you do have the make the dough ahead of time, but it was very easy!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Kylie, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful online cooking class with Nancy and that everyone ended up with delicious deep-dish pizzas! She truly loves connecting with guests and sharing her expertise in a warm, personal way. And thank you for pointing out the dough prep - we’re glad it was easy to make! We hope to cook with you again on another Traveling Spoon experience soon, in person or online! 🍕

Great evening!

My boyfriend and I (who are missing Illinois, having been unable to visit for over a year now) had a great evening making Chicago-style pizza with Nancy! We definitely are amateur cooks and Nancy walked us through the whole process for 90 minutes, giving us lots of helpful tips along the way. The recipes for the pizza, salad, and cookie cake were great and we definitely will be using them in the future! I also really enjoyed chatting with Nancy and the time passed by so quickly. Next time, we'll invite our family to join the class with us from around the country.

Highly Recomend

Loved the recipe & private class! We are going to make this many times! Instructor was so fun! Not intimidating at all!

Great Virtual Experience

Paula_A, Jul 2020

Great virtual experience. I have taken a live deep dish pizza class in Chicago before in the past and was excited about making pizza at home but never got around to it. Figured I would take a class again as I was curious about the cooking difference in the oven at home. I really enjoyed the class, the pizza and brownies came out great. So happy I took this class and will now be making my own pizzas at home.
