Business Events
Team building pizza masterclasses that actually bring people together.
A hands-on corporate cooking experience hosted at your workplace or chosen venue. Led by Dough Artisan Luke Marino and designed for teams across the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
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
Luke guides the group through making the dough, shaping, topping and much more.
2. Your team makes pizza together
3. Everyone enjoys their delicious creations
Once pizzas are baked, the group eats together and enjoys what they’ve created.
Everything is structured, guided, and easy to follow.

“Proper team building, done right.”
We had a fun and memorable evening with Luke and Elisa as part of our annual team retreat. We had a fantastic time learning how to make an authentic Naples style pizza. In addition to learning the basics of a very useful skill, we had a lot of laughs, and Luke’s patience and enthusiasm truly made the experience enjoyable. The best part was definitely getting to savour our delicious creations afterward, with the final feast absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

“Bringing the team together.”
We had an amazing experience with Marino & The Dough for our work Christmas party. Luke and Elisa created such a relaxed, confident atmosphere that made it easy for everyone to get involved, no matter their experience level. The session was fun and engaging from start to finish, and we learnt so much along the way. The pizzas turned out seriously good, and the whole experience brought the team together in the best way. A standout Christmas party and one we would highly recommend.

“We’re still talking about the pizzas.”
A great day was had by all. A true masterclass. We all learnt so much and genuinely enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend Luke and his vast knowledge of the humble pizza. 10/10.
