Pizza-Making Class in Naples: Learn from a Local Chef

Knead, shape, sauce, and bake your own Neapolitan pizza in two hours

A two-hour pizza-making class in Naples teaches you to prepare authentic Neapolitan pizza from scratch under the guidance of a professional pizza chef. You'll knead and shape the dough, make homemade sauce, choose toppings, and place your creation into a wood-burning oven to watch it transform. After the cooking session, you sit down to eat your pizza alongside a starter and a drink of your choice, in a semi-private group of no more than ten participants held in an authentic pizzeria near Maschio Angioino castle.

The experience

Two and a half hours is the full length of the class, and it moves through the whole process of making pizza the way a Neapolitan does. You start by gathering around a wooden table with the other participants, no more than ten, and the pizza chef walks you through kneading and shaping the dough, the tricks that go into a proper sauce, and how to pick toppings that work. The wood-burning oven is where the real moment lands: you place your pizza inside and watch it cook, learning what the chef looks for in the crust and the char.

The class happens in an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria near Maschio Angioino castle, in the heart of the city. Your guide is a professional pizzaiolo who speaks English and shares the stories and techniques behind the craft as you work. The semi-private format means you get real attention and can ask questions without getting lost in a crowd.

After the cooking is done, you sit down to eat. Your pizza comes to the table hot, and it arrives with a starter of your choice and one drink: a glass of wine, beer, or a soft drink. That's the payoff for the work: tasting what you made, the way it's meant to be eaten.

What’s included

• One starter of your choice.
• one drink of your choice (a glass of wine, beer, or soft drink).
• your own pizza made and baked during the class.
• instruction and stories from a professional pizza chef.
