Pizza and Gelato Making Class in Rome: Learn to Make Both

You knead the dough, shape the pizza, and churn the gelato yourself.

A hands-on pizza and gelato making class in Rome where you learn to mix, knead, roll and top pizza dough, then make creamy gelato from scratch while your pizza bakes. An English-speaking chef leads the class, which opens with prosecco and antipasti, runs 2.5 hours, and closes with a sit-down meal in the school's dining room where you eat what you made. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available with advance notice.

The experience

The class starts with a prosecco and antipasti reception, then moves straight to the work. Your chef teaches you the technique for mixing and kneading pizza dough, rolling it out, and topping it with fresh ingredients: seasoned salami, mushrooms, figs, prosciutto, or whatever combination you choose. Once your pizza goes into the oven, you shift to gelato: learning how to build the creamy base and freeze it to the right texture, picking from a range of flavors. The timing is built so that while your pizza cooks, you're hands-on with the gelato, not watching the clock.

The class wraps in the school's converted dining room, where you sit down to eat both things you made: the pizza fresh from the oven and the gelato you just churned. Soft drinks come with the meal, and if you're 18 or older, local wines and the welcome prosecco are included. If you have dietary restrictions, the school accommodates vegetarian and gluten-free versions when you mention them at booking.
