Learn from a Professional Italian Chef

Before your cooking class begins, you'll meet your instructor for today—a highly respected local chef who specializes in pizza making (pizzaiolo in Italian). They'll guide you through the class with all the expertise and charisma you'd expect from an Italian chef, plus a healthy dose of patience! Watch a true master at work as you recreate their finely-tuned pizza and gelato making techniques.

Pizza Making from Scratch

Making pizza at home can seem like an overwhelming task but not when you know what you're doing. Learn hands-on with the chef and go step-by-step from kneading the dough and rolling it out to creating the perfect sauce.

Whether you are a purist or adventurous with your pizza toppings, assemble your own masterpiece from a spread of wonderful local produce. The result will be an authentic thin crust pizza made with all the stuff you like and worthy of an Italian dinner table!

Learn to Make Authentic Gelato

While in Italy, we strongly recommend eating as much gelato as possible since they just don't make it the same anywhere else. But today you'll learn their secrets! After baking crispy delicious pizzas, it's time for dessert.

Your gelato-loving chef will tell the story of Italy's famous ice cream and explain the importance of gelato in the Italian culture. You'll discover the raw ingredients that go into each sweet creation and the range of flavors you can use to make your own delicious Italian ice cream.

Homemade Meal and Recipes

With all that fantastic food you've made, it'd be a waste not to eat it! The dinner table will be set for you to enjoy the fruits of your labor, along with some tasty, unlimited local wine or soft drinks.

At the end of your pizza and gelato making class, you'll receive a booklet with some local recipes to try at home when you want to wow your friends and family. Entertaining, instructive, and easygoing, our gelato and pizza making class in Italy is perfect for foodie travelers and families seeking an activity that kids will rave about back home!

My husband and I took this cooking class and loved it! We made homemade pizza and gelato from scratch. They were both delicious! It was very informative, fun and relaxing. Alfredo was such a good teacher and very personable! At this point in our vacation, we were worn out. This was the perfect activity for us!
