Neapolitan pizza-making class from scratch, with tiramisù to finish

A three-hour class in the old town where everyone makes their own Neapolitan pizza from start to finish: dough, San Marzano tomato sauce, stretching by hand and baking in the traditional oven with the peel. Along the way you put together a tiramisù, which you then eat with a sip of limoncello. With more than sixteen hundred reviews and an average of 4.9, it’s the most-booked of the workshops we list. No cooking experience needed.

What you’ll do

You start with an apron and hat, a Neapolitan starter to break the ice, and your hands in the dough: flour, water, salt and yeast worked into a ball. Then you prepare the San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce. Meanwhile the chef tells you where pizza and tiramisù come from, and corrects anyone kneading badly.

The most fun part is the stretching: widening the base with your fingers, getting it round, topping it and sliding it into the oven on the peel without dropping it. The crust puffs up in seconds before your eyes. In the meantime you layer up the tiramisù, with the final dusting of cocoa done your own way.

You sit down and eat your own pizza with a choice of soft drink, beer or a glass of wine, unlimited water, and the tiramisù with a taste of limoncello. At the end you leave with a certificate in your name, the recipes to make it all again at home and an instant photo with the chef.

Who it’s for

For anyone, from complete beginners to people who already make dough at home and want to understand the Neapolitan oven. Works for couples, groups of friends and families, with under-18s accompanied by an adult. Vegetarian options are available if you let them know in advance. Not wheelchair accessible, and you’re on your feet for much of the three hours.

Local tip

Dress light: rooms with the oven going get hot, and several reviews mention it. Closed, comfortable shoes, nothing you care about wearing, flour gets everywhere. The exact meeting point depends on the option and comes with your confirmation, always in the old town: afterwards, Spaccanapoli and Via dei Tribunali are close by to walk it off.
