What to Expect on the Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Class

Pizza classes are easy to find in Naples. Most are held in the old centre, last two to three hours and end with you eating what you made. The Neapolitan pizza and tiramisu cooking class run by Naples Bay Tour is one of the most-reviewed of them on GetYourGuide, with a 4.9 rating from more than 1,700 reviews. It lasts three hours, meets on Via delle Zite a few minutes’ walk from the cathedral, and started from $28 per person when we checked on 1 October 2026.

The calendar below shows the start times and the current price for your dates. The listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The class covers the two things most visitors want to eat here. You prepare pizza dough, add San Marzano tomato sauce and toppings, lift the pizza onto a peel and slide it into the oven yourself, then build a tiramisu in layers and finish it with cocoa. The price also includes a local starter, a soft drink, beer or glass of wine, a limoncello tasting with the tiramisu, a Polaroid photo, a certificate with your name on it and the recipes.

You don’t need a class to eat good pizza in Naples. What a class adds is the part you never see from a restaurant table: how soft the dough is, how it’s stretched without a rolling pin, and how quickly a pizza bakes in a very hot oven. Our guide to stretching pizza dough by hand covers the technique if you’d like to read up first.

We haven’t taken this class. For this page we read the current listing and recent traveller reviews in several languages, looking closely at what people said about the language of the class, how much of the cooking you do yourself, and the rooms it’s held in.

Before booking, it helps to know four things:

• Several travellers who booked the class in French, Spanish or Italian found it was run in English, or in English with only part of it translated.
• Two people booked together make one tiramisu between them, and some of the dough work is done in pairs.
• Recent reviewers describe groups of roughly 10 to 15 people, and a couple mention other classes running in nearby rooms at the same time.
• The venue is basic. Several reviewers mention summer heat and few places to wash your hands.

Those reviews are a small minority. Fewer than one review in fifty is below four stars, and the guide score on the listing is 5.0 out of 5.

For the smoothest class, the English-language session and a place near the chef make the most sense.

Tips Before You Book the Pizza and Tiramisu Class

• Book the English class unless you need another language. If you book in French, Italian or Spanish and the language matters to you, message the operator after booking and ask them to confirm in writing that the class will run in that language.
• Check your messages the day before. A few reviewers had their class moved at short notice. In one case a midday class was moved to 8 p.m. and switched to English, and in another the new time slot covered pizza only.
• Plan to share the tiramisu if you book two places. Two people booked together make one tiramisu between them. Each of you still shapes and tops your own pizza.
• Tell the operator about vegetarian or other dietary needs when you book. The listing says vegetarian options are available if you ask in advance. It doesn’t mention gluten-free dough, so read our guide to dietary needs at a Naples pizza class before you book if that applies to you.
• Dress for a warm room from June to September. Several summer reviewers found it very hot inside and asked for better air conditioning. The listing asks for comfortable clothes and shoes that are suitable for cooking.

How the Three Hours Are Spent

The listing doesn’t publish a timetable, and the order of the dough, the tiramisu and the pizza can vary. Your host meets you at the entrance on Via delle Zite wearing a NaplesBay apron or holding a sign. You’re given a single-use apron and chef’s hat, a local starter and a drink, and the chef talks the group through where Neapolitan pizza and tiramisu come from before you start cooking.

Guides named most often in recent reviews include Alexander (often Alex), Francesco, Lorenzo and Mauro. Reviews praise them mainly for humour and clear explanations, and several mention cooking tips they plan to use at home. A couple also came away with sightseeing tips.

The class ends at the tables, where everyone eats their pizza and tiramisu with the included drink. Then come the certificates and a photo with the chef.

The Dough

The listing says you prepare the dough from scratch, and most reviews describe mixing and kneading it. Some of this is done in pairs, which one reviewer said should be made clearer before booking because it means less hands-on time for each person.

Neapolitan dough needs several hours to rise, which is explained in our Neapolitan pizza dough recipe. In a three-hour class, the dough you bake may not be the dough you mixed. One recent reviewer said that was what happened to them and felt the description had led them to expect otherwise.

The Tiramisu

The tiramisu is made in layers, finished with cocoa, and served with a small glass of limoncello. Two places booked together share one tiramisu, so couples and friends take turns rather than making one each. Reviews of the result are mostly positive.

Shaping, Topping and Baking the Pizza

This is the part most reviewers single out. You stretch the dough by hand, add tomato sauce and toppings, then use a long peel to slide your pizza into the oven. One reviewer singled out tossing the dough as the most fun part of the afternoon.

The chefs teach a traditional Neapolitan pizza. One reviewer found their chef strict about it, correcting the size of the crust and the amount of sauce, so expect to follow the chef’s method closely.

In busy classes the oven can become a bottleneck. A couple of reviewers said pizzas went into the oven late and came out undercooked, and one group’s pizzas had to be replaced with a quickly made one. These reports are rare.

Eating at the End

The included drink is a soft drink, a beer or a glass of red or white wine, with unlimited water. Extra drinks are paid separately. Most reviewers rate the pizza and tiramisu highly. A couple found their pizza average, although they still enjoyed making it.

You leave with a certificate, a Polaroid photo and the recipes. One reviewer said the QR code for the recipes stopped working within a few days, so save or screenshot them the same evening.

Other Cooking Classes in Naples

If you’d rather finish with gelato than tiramisu, the same operator runs a two-hour pizza and gelato making class, rated 4.8/5 from more than 440 reviews and from $35 per person when we checked. Below are other classes and food tours in Naples’ historic centre, from pasta-making classes to street food walks along Spaccanapoli and pizza classes near the Duomo.

Other Practical Things to Know

• Finding the entrance: A couple of reviewers didn’t find the street very welcoming while they were looking for the building. The host waits at the entrance, so look for the NaplesBay apron or sign. After an evening class, a taxi is the simplest way back to your hotel.
• Hearing the chef: In a large group, sound can be harder to follow at the back of the room. Stand near the chef during the demonstrations.
• Washing your hands: A few reviewers said there were not enough sinks, and that you had to use the toilet area or go downstairs to wash. Hand wipes are useful.
• Pace: Some reviewers found parts of the class rushed, especially in bigger groups. Ask the chef to repeat a step if you need to.
• Accessibility: The listing says the class isn’t suitable for wheelchair users. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Is the Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Class Worth It?

Yes, if you want a lively, beginner-friendly introduction to Neapolitan pizza and tiramisu at a modest price. At $28 per person when we checked, it includes the starter, a drink, a limoncello tasting, the food you make, the certificate and the recipes, and reviewers rate the chefs very highly.

If a small, quiet group or a lesson in a language other than English is important to you, this may not be the best option. When we checked, we didn’t find a private pizza class in Naples on GetYourGuide with an established review record. Our guide to the best pizza-making classes in Naples compares the group classes, and the pizza and gelato class above is the closest alternative if you’d rather make gelato.

If you book, choose the English class unless you need another language, and check your messages the evening before.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Naples pizza and tiramisu class?

The listing gives a duration of three hours. That covers the dough, the tiramisu, baking your pizza and eating at the end.

Is the class taught in English?

It’s offered in English, French, Italian and Spanish. Several reviewers who booked in a language other than English found their class was run in English or in two languages, so ask the operator to confirm in writing if the language matters to you.

Do you make the pizza dough yourself?

The listing says you prepare the dough from scratch, and part of that work is done in pairs. Because Neapolitan dough needs hours to rise, the dough you bake may have been prepared earlier.

Can children join the class?

Yes. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and several families describe it as a good group activity.

Is the class suitable for vegetarians?

The listing says vegetarian options are available if you tell the operator in advance.

Does the class run in winter?

Reviews from January and February 2026 show the class running in winter. Check the live calendar for your dates, because start times vary.

Where does the class meet?

At Via delle Zite 30, 80139 Naples, a few minutes’ walk from the cathedral. The host waits at the entrance with a NaplesBay apron or sign.
