Experience Naples: Learn How to Make Authentic Neapolitan Pizza

Make an authentic Neapolitan pizza during a 1.5-hour cooking class in Naples! Pizza was born in the city, so where better to learn how to make it? Under the watchful eye of a professional local ‘pizzaiolo,’ mix and knead your own dough, and then top it with the finest local ingredients. Sit down with fellow food lovers in your group, and finish your experience with a soft drink and a 3-course meal: starter, dessert and of course, your very own Neapolitan pizza!

Meet your host in central Naples and stroll to a nearby restaurant for your 1.5-hour pizza-making class. All utensils and equipment are provided for your session, and under the careful eye of your pizzaiolo (pizza maker), you’ll discover the culinary secrets behind making authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Naples has a refreshing keep-it-simple attitude when it comes to food, relying on the high quality of their local produce to make their dishes sing. Ruby red tomatoes, milky-fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil and DOP olive oils (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) are pizza restaurant staples, and you’ll use the best locally sourced ingredients such as these in your class.

Watch your pizzaiolo mix, knead and stretch the dough, then give it a go yourself! Neapolitan pizzas typically have doughier bases than their crispy Roman counterparts, and your pizzaiolo will explain how to get the dough worked to the right consistency. Choose from a selection of toppings, and then sit down while it bakes!

Relax with other food lovers in your group, chatting about pizza in Naples and enjoying a drink. Whet your appetite with a starter of bruschetta e zeppoline (seaweed bruschetta), then tuck into your very own Neapolitan pizza, before finishing with dolce del gioro with (dessert of the day). With this class under your belt, you’ll be able to easily make your own pizza again at home to impress your family and friends.
