Why teams love this experience

Pizza brings people together in a way few activities do.

This experience:

  • Encourages collaboration without pressure

  • Gives everyone something hands-on to do

  • Creates natural conversation and connection

  • Ends with a shared meal everyone enjoys

It’s relaxed, inclusive, and genuinely fun, without feeling forced or awkward.

How it works

We run the masterclass at your office, workplace, or booked venue across the Gold Coast or Brisbane.

1. We come to your venue

2. Your team makes pizza together

Luke guides the group through dough, shaping, topping, and baking, with everyone involved.

Once pizzas are baked, the group eats together and enjoys what they’ve created.

Everything is structured, guided, and easy to follow.

3. You sit down and share the meal

    “We’re still talking about the pizzas.”

    Luke hosted it perfectly, from the first stretch of dough to the final bake. Everything was easy to follow, and he made sure everyone got involved without it ever feeling rushed or awkward. The end result was unreal, proper restaurant-quality pizza we were genuinely proud of, and a night we’re still talking about.

    “Engaging, interactive, and a lot of fun.”

    The class had such a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and we ended up with seriously delicious pizza we were proud of. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves good food and a hands-on night with friends.

    “Better than a typical night out.”

    We did a Marino & The Dough class and it was such a fun and different experience. Making pizza from scratch together felt relaxed and social, but still genuinely special, and Luke made the whole thing easy to follow from start to finish. It’s the kind of shared experience people keep talking about afterwards.

    “Great food, great company.”

    We had the best time with Marino & The Dough. Luke ran the session in such a relaxed, confident way and made it easy for everyone to jump in, no matter their experience level. It felt social and effortless, but we still learnt plenty along the way, and the pizzas turned out seriously good. A proper feel-good experience that brought everyone together.

    “Proper team building, done right.”

    We booked Marino & The Dough for a team event and it couldn’t have been better. Luke ran everything with a calm, professional flow that made it easy for everyone to get involved, even the people who don’t normally cook. It felt hands-on and social without any awkward “team building” moments, and the group genuinely connected while learning something new. A great shared experience, and one we’d happily do again.

    “So easy to follow, and so much fun.”

    We had such a great time Luke. He made the whole experience easy to follow and kept it relaxed while still teaching us the proper technique. It felt like a real shared moment, great food, good energy, and something we’ll happily do again.
