The History of Pizza Starts in Naples

Meet your guide at the pizza workshop located at Via delle Zite 30 in central Naples. Immerse yourself in the enticing aroma of wood-fired ovens and freshly baked pizzas in this charming corner of the city. Discover the fascinating history behind the iconic Margherita pizza, created in 1889 to represent the red, white, and green of the proud Italian flag.

Create a Classic Margherita Pizza

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.

Taste a Typical Neapolitan Appetizer

After receiving your tools and apron and getting hands-on with the dough, you'll enjoy a delicious bruschetta made from local ingredients to tantalize your taste buds.

You'll discover every ingredient that goes into making the perfect pizza, from San Marzano tomatoes to buffalo mozzarella and extra virgin olive oil, all paired with an incredible bruschetta.

Bake Your Pizza in a Wood-Fired Oven

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!

Enjoy a glass of wine, beer or soft drink as you cut in to your delicious pizza. It tastes so much better when made with your own hands with the help of a master pizza maker!
