Pizza and gelato class in Naples: two crafts in two hours

Two hours in the old town to take home two Neapolitan crafts: first the pizza Margherita, from dough to baking in the traditional oven, then gelato, made with fresh seasonal ingredients. It’s the shortest of the workshops we list and the best one for children: you’re on your feet, you get your hands dirty and you eat what comes out. At the end you get a certificate and the recipes.

What you’ll do

You arrive ten minutes early to register, put on an apron and hat and start with the dough: flour, water, yeast and salt worked into a ball. Meanwhile you make the sauce with San Marzano tomatoes. The pizzaiolo explains rising and proving, in other words why one Neapolitan pizza comes out soft and another doesn’t.

Then you stretch the base by hand, top it as a Margherita and bake it in the traditional Neapolitan oven. As soon as it comes out you eat it at the table, with a choice of red or white wine, beer or soft drinks. The second part is the gelato: you start from fresh ingredients and follow the process through to the end, with the techniques that set it apart from industrial ice cream.

You finish by tasting the freshly made gelato and receiving a pizzaiolo certificate with your name on it, along with the pizza and gelato recipes to try again at home. Two hours in all, the right length not to tire out little ones and to leave the rest of the day free.

Who it’s for

The right class for families with children: the operator lists it as suitable for them, it lasts two hours and gelato is a good incentive. Works for couples and groups of friends too. Under-18s must be with an adult. You work standing up the whole time and the room isn’t wheelchair accessible.

Local tip

Comfortable clothes and closed shoes, because you’re on your feet and flour flies. The exact meeting point depends on the option you book and comes with your confirmation, but it’s always in the old town: at just two hours, it pairs well with a morning on Spaccanapoli or at the Archaeological Museum. It often sells out, book ahead.
