Inside the pizzeria, your certified pizzaiolo will share their knowledge about how to make the vera pizza Napoletana (true Neapolitan pizza).

Whether you'd like a classic Margherita or prefer to create your own combination of ingredients, you can build your pizza canvas. Discover the best way to stretch out the pizza dough and why tossing the pie can be very controversial.

Once your pizza is topped with the best local ingredients, slip the pie on the peel and head to the oven. Feel the heat of the 900-degree Fahrenheit oven, that cooks the pizza incredibly fast.

Watch the pizza rise watch in just moments with a beautiful char that's perfect for eating.

Buon Appetito!

Our pizza experience was great. We had our 2 teenagers with it and they really enjoyed the experience. A nice change for them from seeing ancient ruins.

Meravigliosa! (Wonderful!)

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Naples pizza making class. Our instructor was awesome and we came away from the class feeling so much more confident in our pizza-making abilities. The price included everything needed to make the pizza (which you then get to eat) as well as bottled water and either a glass of wine, beer or soda with your meal. They also brought out bruschetta and some small dough balls for us to have while they cleaned up from the dough making and set up for the pizza making! Would definitely recommend!
