Homemade Pizza Class in Naples: Learn Neapolitan Techniques

Make three kinds of Neapolitan pizza in one morning, then eat what you've made

A hands-on pizza class in Naples where you learn to shape dough, top and cook authentic Neapolitan pizza using techniques that work in a home kitchen without a wood oven. You'll prepare Pizza Margherita, Fried Calzone and Montanara, then sit down to a 2-course lunch with what you've made. The class runs two hours and is taught in English or Italian by a live chef.

The experience

Toffini Academy runs this class in a domestic kitchen, not a restaurant or pizzeria, so you get your own workspace and tools to practice the way you'll actually cook at home. The chef walks you through building a proper dough with traditional ingredients, then shows you the quick frying technique that keeps the crust crispy and flavorful even without a wood oven. You'll make Pizza Margherita first, then move to Fried Calzone, the stuffed version, and finish with Montanara, a street-food classic that fries the dough before topping it with margherita ingredients.

After two hours of hands-on work, you sit down to eat the three pizzas you've made, paired with a non-alcoholic aperitif and bottled water. The class is capped small enough that everyone gets real attention and space to work. If you have a gluten-free requirement, let the operator know when you book so they can prepare accordingly.
