Pizza, Gelato & Suppli Cooking Class Rome: Make All Three

You make the pizza dough, shape the gelato, and fry the supplì, not just watch someone else do it.

A 3-hour hands-on cooking class in Rome where you learn to make authentic Neapolitan pizza, creamy gelato, and crispy Roman supplì from an expert chef, with Italian wines included. The class covers dough preparation and shaping for pizza, the technique and flavor balance of gelato, and the filling and frying of supplì. You take home what you make. Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated, though the experience is not suitable for people with celiac disease.

The experience

The class starts with pizza dough. You'll knead it, learn the technique for shaping, and understand how to choose toppings that work together. The chef walks you through the fundamentals (how the dough behaves, why resting matters, what happens in the oven), so you're not just following steps but understanding the craft. By the end of this part, you've made a pizza you'll eat.

Then you move to gelato. This is where precision matters: the balance of ingredients, the temperature, the churning. You'll try both traditional flavors and modern combinations as you work through the process, learning what makes gelato different from ice cream and why the technique is as important as the recipe. The chef shares the secrets that separate homemade gelato from what you buy in a shop.

The final part is Roman supplì: crispy risotto balls with melted mozzarella inside. You'll shape them, coat them, and fry them until they're golden. It's a quick technique but one that takes practice to get the texture right. By the time you're done, you've made three distinct Italian foods, each one a different skill. Unlimited Italian wines accompany the class, and you eat everything you've made.

What exactly do I make during the 3 hours?

Can the class work around my dietary restrictions?

Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated during the class. However, the experience is not suitable for people with celiac disease, since gluten is central to the pizza and supplì components.

Is wine included, or do I pay extra?

Italian wines are included throughout the 3-hour class at no extra cost. You'll have unlimited wine to enjoy as you work and taste your creations.

Where in Rome does the class take place?

The class is located near the Colosseum in Rome. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need to arrange your own way there.
