Pizza Making Class in Taormina: Learn to Stretch & Bake

Make two kinds of dough, top your pizza, watch it bake, then eat it

A 2.5-hour pizza making class in Taormina where you learn to prepare classic and whole wheat dough, stretch it, add toppings, and bake your own pizza under the guidance of a professional chef. The class includes your finished pizza served with bruschetta, water, soft drinks and local wine. Children from age 2 are welcome, and a guide speaks English or Italian.

The experience

You arrive and a professional pizza chef walks you through every stage of the process, from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out and topping it. The class covers both classic pizza dough and whole wheat dough, so you see how the technique shifts between them. You're not watching a demonstration and taking notes. You're doing the work yourself, with the chef showing you the right way to stretch without tearing, how much sauce is too much, and the timing that keeps the crust from burning.

Once your pizza goes into the oven, the waiting is short. When it comes out, you sit down at a table with your pizza still warm, alongside mixed bruschetta, water, soft drinks, and a selection of local wine. The meal is part of the class: time to taste what you made and see how the ingredients and your own hands shaped the result. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, let the staff know before you start. Children must stay with a parent the whole time.
