Authentic Naples Cooking Class : Pizza, Pasta & Tiramisù

About this tour

Learn to shape and bake proper Neapolitan pizza in central Naples with a practising chef who'll walk you through dough fermentation, sauce-making and oven technique. You'll pull your own Margherita from a wood-fired oven, start with local antipasti, and eat what you've made. The 2.5-hour session includes theory, hands-on work, and a diploma to take home.

Highlights

• Knead and ferment pizza dough under chef guidance
• Top and bake your own Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes
• Taste bruschetta, fresh mozzarella and house bread beforehand
• Learn why Neapolitan pizza technique matters
• Eat your finished pizza straightaway with wine or soft drinks
• Receive a pizza chef certificate as keepsake

What to expect

You'll arrive in Naples's old quarter and work alongside an active pizza chef in a small group (minimum four). After sampling local starters, you'll get hands-on with dough—mixing, kneading, and letting it rest properly. The chef explains each step: why the dough needs time, how San Marzano tomatoes differ, when the oven's hot enough. You'll then top and slide your pizza in, watch it cook, and sit down to eat it warm with whatever drinks the class provides. It's practical rather than theatrical; you're not watching a demonstration, you're doing the work.
