Authentic Margherita Pizza Making Class in Naples

About this tour

Learn to shape and bake genuine Neapolitan pizza in a working pizzeria steps from Maschio Angioino Castle. This 2.5-hour class walks you through dough-making from flour and water, sauce application, topping selection, and wood-oven baking under a chef's direction. The semi-private setting keeps groups small enough for hands-on feedback. You'll eat what you make, plus starters and a drink, then head home knowing how to replicate the technique in your own kitchen.

Highlights

• Knead and proof dough with a Neapolitan pizza chef
• Spread sauce and load toppings on your own base
• Watch your pizza char inside a traditional wood-fired oven
• Taste starters, a beverage, and your finished pizza together
• Located near Maschio Angioino Castle in central Naples
• Small group format with personalised guidance

What to expect

Expect to stand at a wooden prep table with the chef demonstrating each step: mixing dough, kneading, resting, stretching, topping, and timing the oven. You'll get your hands floured and involved from the start. While your pizza bakes, you'll nibble starters and chat with the chef about regional pizza history and technique. The wood-fired oven heat is intense and the space fills with smoke—not uncomfortable, but worth noting. Cleanup is minimal; the pizzeria handles that.
