A little complex but definitely informative
There were a lot of formulas and percentages but they weren't really needed to make a great pizza. Maybe next time ill follow more closely but I made this pizza pretty loosely with my best friend and it came out so good we ate almost the entire thing together and only left one slice!

It's quite dissappointing to learn, how complicated the procedure seems to be in order to achieve a decent pizza close to the originale style and taste. BUT: I learned A LOT and felt like I had been given a lot of INSPIRATION. Hoping now I will manage to cook a better pizza in my home oven.

This course has a lof pf substance but it is too fast
Even the course covers a lot of essential pizza topics, it is very hard to follow in english. I had to play the chapters over many times to understand the course.. I even slowed down the audio. I could not keep up with the subtitles.
