Starting a Traditional Pizza Pie

Your pizza cooking class starts with an introduction to your “pizzaiolo” chef in Palermo. Your English-speaking chef and culinary guide will navigate the region with you through a verbal history of pizza and another traditional pizza-like treat that locals love, “sfincione.”

Making Gelato and Ice Cream Cones

While the dough rests until it’s optimal for pizza-making, your pizzaiolo will help you make another local favorite—gelato. You’ll mix and churn the frozen dessert and learn how to make Italian cones to enjoy it in later.

The pizzaiolo takes some time here to explore the history of Italian ice cream while providing adult guests with glasses of premium wines. Everyone gets a taste of olive oils before attention is turned back to the pizza for the finishing touches.

The Finished Product and Samples

The evening ends with a sample of the finished pizza and gelato you put together. Your successes in the kitchen are met with a graduation certificate and a digital recipe booklet that includes Palermo classics easy enough to make at home.
