Frank Bosketti, a third generation Italian American from Boston and New York, has been cooking pizza, pasta, and everything Italian for his family and friends for the past 30 years. He learned pizza making in Italy and the US, competes in amateur pizza competitions, and is a certified pizza contest judge. He is also a personal chef and member of the US Personal Chef Association (USPCA).
Frank founded Fortissimo Pizza Ovens where he offers high quality backyard pizza ovens and fun, personalized instruction to help students learn the art of pizza making. He teaches pizza making in his own home backyard or in student's homes (or backyards). Students can choose from a variety of pizza styles to learn how to make authentic Neapolitan, Roman, or Sicilian styles, along with New York, New Haven, and Detroit styles of pizza.
In the community, Fortissimo Pizza Ovens partners with the Westchester Italian Cultural Center each year to sponsor the Annual Westchester Pizza Cook-Off and Pizza Festival where amateur pizza makers compete for cash and bragging rights. The event is held each September in Tuckahoe, N.Y.

what customers have to say about our classes
"Our company treated us to the best team building experiment- a pizza making class with Frank @ Fortissimo ! I was pleasantly surprised at just how meticulous and prepared Frank and his staff were for everything. They did not miss a beat, from dough to ingredients and instructions, everything was absolutely impeccable! What a treat to learn such a cool skill! 10/10 recommend!"- Jenny E.
"We had Frank come in and do a class for our Sons & Daughters of Italy Lodge in Tuckahoe. He did a great job! We had about 20 people making pizza and another 10 more just there to enjoy the food. He was prepared and professional.
In addition to the pizza, Frank also had his daughter on hand to make rigatoni alla vodka. We also had bruschetta to whet our whistles at the beginning of the night and cookies to end the night on a sweet note.
Frank walked the group through the multi-step, hands-on process of making the dough and letting it rest. Then he had enough dough pre-prepared for everyone to shape their own, top it, and cook it in his two mobile ovens. He had toppings ready and taught 4 different topping styles, and even let us get creative. I even used some of the rigatoni on my pizza! There were multiple kinds of sauce, fresh and dry mozzarella, mortadella, capicola, sopressatta, burrata, pistachios, and more available to choose from!
Frank is a great guy and really flexible. He will work with you to make sure your event is a success!"- Joseph C.
"Frank hosted a pizza making course for our staff of 12 and what a great experience! He was very easy to work with and was able to create a class that was both hands on and relaxing for our after work event! We structured roughly 2-3hrs for the event and Frank was ready right at 5 as planned, the setup was perfect for our office as we learned about the pizza making process, made and enjoyed Neapolitan pizzas for a few hours. Thanks Frank!"- Carl R.
