Pizza and Tiramisù Workshop in Como: Make and Take Home

Learn to shape pizza dough and layer tiramisù, then eat what you made

A three-hour cooking class in Como where you make pizza and tiramisù with a host raised in the region and trained in both northern Italian and southern Italian techniques. You craft your own pizza using premium ingredients, learn the traditional recipes, and sit down to eat what you've prepared alongside beer. The class includes recipes to take home and free round-trip transfer from Appiano Gentile for up to four people.

The experience

You arrive at the kitchen and start with pizza dough. The host walks you through the craft of shaping and topping your own pizza (margherita, vegetarian, sausage and peppers, or focaccia with cherry tomatoes or olives) using ingredients chosen for quality. This is hands-on work: you're building the pizza yourself, not watching a demonstration. Once your pizza is ready, it goes into the oven while you move to the next part of the class.

The second half focuses on tiramisù, where precision matters as much as feel. You layer the components yourself, learning the traditional method and the reasoning behind each step. The host's background spans both northern Italian refinement and southern Italian warmth, so the techniques and flavors you pick up carry that blend. By the end of the three hours, you have recipes written down to recreate both dishes at home.

Dinner is the payoff: you sit down and eat the pizza and tiramisù you just made, with beer included. The class wraps up with transfer back to Appiano Gentile by car if you need it: the host arranges round-trip transport for groups up to four at no extra cost. If you're arriving by public transit, stops are nearby.

Is this one for you?The three-hour pace is built around hands-on cooking, not touring, so you spend the time making and learning rather than standing and listening. Book this if you want to leave with a skill and a meal, not just a memory.
