Naples Pizza Making Class: Learn from a Master Pizzaiolo

Make your own Neapolitan pizza the way Da Michele has for over a century

At L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in Naples, you learn to shape, top and bake authentic Neapolitan pizza with a master pizzaiolo, then eat what you've made. The class includes a tour of the pizzeria's museum and its history. You can add a guided visit to the Church of the Disciplina della Santa Croce in Forcella, a hidden historical landmark in the old city, and finish with a tasting of Da Michele's signature Margherita or Marinara pizza.

The experience

You arrive at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele (the place that has defined Neapolitan pizza since 1870), and start by walking through its museum to understand how the pizzeria became a symbol of the city. Then you move into the kitchen with a master pizzaiolo who teaches you the techniques that make the dough, the stretch, the topping and the bake work the way they do here. You prepare your own pizza from scratch, top it yourself, and watch it go into the oven. When it comes out, you eat it.

The three options let you shape the experience to fit your afternoon. The museum and pizza workshop alone run about an hour and ten minutes. If you want to go deeper into Naples' history, you can add a guided tour of the Church of the Disciplina della Santa Croce in Forcella, a centuries-old church tucked into the tight streets of the old city: that extends the day by about twenty minutes. The complete experience includes both the church and a final tasting of Da Michele's Margherita or Marinara pizza, bringing the total to around two hours beyond the core workshop.

The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French, and public transportation stops are nearby if you're coming from elsewhere in the city. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and the class suits any fitness level.
