Pizza Making Class in Amalfi: Make & Bake Neapolitan Pizza

Stretch dough, fire the oven, eat your pizza in the gardens overlooking the coast

A three-hour pizza-making class in Amalfi where you prepare fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce, hand-stretch Neapolitan dough, and bake your pizza in a wood-fired oven in the terraced gardens. The class includes a tour of the lemon grove and vegetable garden, tasting pizzas made by the instructor, and finishing your own creation with local wine, Limoncello and Neapolitan coffee while overlooking the sea. English and Italian instruction; children welcome from age 8.

The Experience

The class starts in the terraced gardens where you walk through the lemon grove and vegetable garden, learning how the Amalfi Coast's sustainable farming feeds the kitchen. You hand-pick fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs—the ones that will go on your pizza. The pizzaiolo teaches you to make mozzarella and tomato sauce from scratch, then moves to the dough: how to mix it, how to let it rest, and the hand-stretching technique that shapes a proper Neapolitan base. You stretch your own dough, shape it, and watch the instructor make a few pizzas so you see the move done right before your turn at the wood-fired oven.

Your pizza goes into the oven and comes out blistered and ready to eat. You sit in the gardens with what you made, a glass of local wine, Limoncello, and Neapolitan coffee. The view is the Amalfi Coast dropping to the sea. The class runs three hours and includes a cooking diploma and the original pizza recipe to take home; bottled water is provided throughout.
