Review Body: A Delightful Discovery at The Unexpected What a wonderful find! The Unexpected offers a truly unique concept that feels both refreshing and thoughtfully curated. Candice and her husband have clearly poured their hearts into creating something special, their passion and expertise shine through, particularly when they share insights about the bees and plants thriving on their rooftop garden. The pizza-making experience was wonderful. The dough was super tasty, and the wood-fired cooking elevated the pizzas to another level. The smoky, authentic flavors that only come from a proper cherry wood fire made them pop, plus they cook in about 2 minutes! This isn't just dining, it's an experience that connects you with the craft, the ingredients, and the genuine enthusiasm of the hosts. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different in Singapore's food scene.

Review Body: I came here with four friends for the Sunday workshop and it was fantastic from start to finish. We began with a short tour around the rooftop garden which felt like a little piece of heaven, super cozy and homey vibes, and the weather was perfect. The pizza we made was great, and there was no shortage of food and drinks with beer, coke and prosecco keeping the group happy. Our main facilitator Gary was knowledgeable, full of good energy, and made the whole experience fun and engaging. Shanniz and Nandini were very helpful and took many great photos for us. This was also a birthday celebration and the team helped store our cake, brought it out at the perfect moment, and even played a birthday song for the surprise cake appearance. If you are thinking about booking this experience for a little escape, go ahead, you will not regret it!!!

Review Body: Sam and Benita were incredibly warm and welcoming! They took the time to get to know people, they were great with the kids in the class, they kept everyone involved and in high spirits. Their energy was infectious and made the class fun from the get go! The pizzas were fun to make, the process was a fun challenge that all of us, of all ages, had a blast! And eating it was great too! The pace of the class isn’t too fast to keep up, it’s not too slow that it feels like a drag, it’s the perfect amount to comfortably go through the entire experience and enjoy every minute of it. Can’t thank the 2 of them enough for making this experience special. My fiancé was nervous going in as she’s a bit introverted but she warmed up (pun very much intended) quickly and got into the mood, laughing and joking with our amazing teachers!

Review Body: What an absolutely wonderful experience! My daughter and I attended a small-group, hands-on wood-fired pizza making workshop and loved every minute of it. The session felt intimate, private and incredibly fun from start to finish. One of the highlights was getting to forage for our own fresh herbs straight from the garden before making the pizzas. We learned how to toss the dough, prepare everything from scratch using fresh produce, and cook the pizzas in a traditional wood-fired oven. The entire experience was relaxed, interactive and perfect for spending quality time together. After cooking, we sat down to enjoy our creations with drinks included — and the pizzas turned out deliciously awesome! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique, memorable and hands-on culinary experience.

Review Body: The pizza-making experience with Seek Sophie was just as enjoyable and memorable. The instructors were again very interactive and knowledgeable, guiding us clearly through each step of the process. What stood out most was how engaging the session was—everything was easy to follow, and the instructors shared plenty of interesting “fun facts” along the way. A highlight for me was getting to taste different cheeses before choosing which ones to use on our pizzas. It added a really thoughtful and fun touch to the experience. By the end, not only did we make our own pizzas, but we also learned a lot in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. Definitely a great activity for anyone who enjoys food and hands-on experiences!

Review Body: I had tons of fun with my husband and I would highly recommend this place if you want to have a stronger bond with your SO!! I’m pretty shy generally but since he likes people and it was his birthday, I decided to book it and it was not a regret. It was a great activity together making pizza. The host was incredible knowledgeable and friendly and it didn’t feel awkward at all. In the 3 hours, you don’t just make pizza as it needs time to cook etc, so you get to sit down with another couple as there was 4 of us there, and convos was great too (obviously you can be alone also if you want haha). Highly recommend this place and I would definitely check out what other workshops they have in the future.

Review Body: Absolutely loved the pizza making session! Did you know that with the orange woodfire oven, you only need to bake the pizza for just 3-5 mins? Not only that, you're able to choose from a wide range of pizza options, there's definitely something for everyone. You get to try different cheeses, and floof your own pizza dough all ready to drown them in toppings. the best part is, you eat it straight out of the oven, savouring the smokiness of the orange wood. Very engaging session by the hosts, and not forgetting, you get to chill out with a beer or two while you whip up your own pizza dinner!

Review Body: Memorable experience. Kids, husband and I all had a great time. Candice is effervescent, lovely and demonstrated expert level coordination of our hands-on pizza making evening. On top of being a warm and obliging host, the venue is also different from other experiences we have had - much to see on the rooftop and one almost feels as if we had stepped away from Singapore and landed in Greece for a moment. Giving the kids the confidence to handle their own pizza was also wonderful. Cooking the pizza sauce from scratch and adding fine toppings resulted in a delicious outcome for everyone.

Review Body: Unique and fun pizza making experience with a lot of hands on (e.g. tossing pizza dough). Entrance is quite hidden but one of the owners specially went to find us and brought us in. Definitely one of the more fun things to do in Singapore esp for the 1st time (touch and smell herbs, tossing and cooking pizza Italian style). Would recommend bringing your own favourite ingredients as choices might be limited. Special thanks to Samuel and Kimberly for being great hosts and ensure everyone (including pets) are well taken care of. Great activity for a unique birthday experience.

Review Body: We went to Sundowner's pizza making class and really enjoyed ourselves! Candice is really friendly and she explained us every step very clearly and with lots of details. She had a great sense of humour and lots of knowledge which made the time fly by. They have a lovely house with an amazing rooftop and it's alone worth visit. And yes, the pizza tasted yummy! Another 'thank you' goes to Khairi for his help!!

Review Body: We had gone there to celebrate my birthday! It was an absolutely lively experience. Our group was very chill and Nandini, our host, was absolutely fantastic. The vibe was great and people at The Sundowner genuinely are passionate about what they do. Just note that the experience is outdoors so it is a bit hot, though they do have some coolers outdoors. The pizza tasted really good!

Review Body: It was fun to interact with other guests and collaborate to cook up our dough! Everyone brought their personalities and preferences so it would be really fun to come with family and friends. Our host explained the process really well and guided us through the technique of transferring the pizza to the oven. Wear comfortable attire, it can get hot!
