Real Neapolitan Pizza Class in a Historic Pizzeria

About this tour

Over nearly three hours, you'll master dough techniques passed through generations, top your creation, and watch it emerge from a traditional wood-fired oven. You'll eat what you make, paired with coffee or soft drinks. Transport to the pizzeria is included.

What to expect

You'll arrive at a working pizzeria where you'll be shown how to handle and stretch the dough without overworking it—the balance between thin base and puffy cornicione (crust rim) is the whole game. After topping your pizza with simple, quality ingredients, you'll watch the pizzaiolo slide it into the roaring oven. The bake takes minutes. You'll sit down and eat what you've made, discovering why the water, flour, and technique matter. It's hands-on but not strenuous; expect flour on your clothes and a real sense of accomplishment.
