Naples: Neapolitan Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class
About This Experience
This class is the top-rated pizza experience in Naples for good reason: you do everything yourself, start to finish, guided by a trained Neapolitan pizzaiolo. Arrive at the kitchen in the historic centre and you'll be handed your apron and shown the mise en place before you begin.
You'll mix and knead the dough by hand in traditional proportions — flour, water, salt, and just the right amount of yeast — then rest it and learn the stretching technique that gives Neapolitan pizza its signature airy base. There's no rolling pin here: the dough is stretched by hand, exactly as it's been done in Naples for over 200 years.
Once topped with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella, your pizza goes into a 450°C wood-fire oven and is ready in under 90 seconds. Then comes the tiramisu: espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and a good dusting of cocoa — prepared from scratch with the chef walking you through every step.
You'll sit down to eat everything you made, paired with a welcome drink. At the end, you leave with recipe cards and the knowledge to recreate both dishes at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time should I arrive?
Arrive 5–10 minutes before the class starts to meet your group, collect your apron, and get settled before the chef begins.
Is this suitable for vegetarians?
Yes — the base Margherita pizza is vegetarian. You choose your own toppings, so you can simply load up on extra mozzarella and basil.
Can I take leftovers home?
The pizza is eaten at the venue while it's hot and fresh. Tiramisu is typically portioned and can be boxed to take home if you can't finish it.
How many people are in the class?
Maximum 12 participants — small enough for the pizzaiolo to guide each person through dough stretching individually.
Is the class in English?
Yes. The class is conducted in English (with Italian flair). The chef speaks English and can answer questions throughout.
