"Most run 2–3 hours, including stretching, topping, baking, and eating your pizza. Combo classes that add tiramisu or gelato run a little longer."

Q: "What will I learn to make?"

"Authentic Neapolitan pizza — a slow-proofed 00-flour dough, hand-stretched and wood-fired. Some classes add a fried pizza (pizza fritta) or a dessert."

"Often yes with notice — vegetarian is easy, and some operators offer gluten-free dough. Flag it at booking."

Q: "Should I do a pizza class or a pasta class?"

"Pizza if you want the Neapolitan wood-fired skill; a \u003ca href='/pasta-making-class/'\u003epasta-making class\u003c/a\u003e if fresh pasta is your goal. Both are hands-on and end in a meal."

Q: "How far ahead should I book?"

"A few days to a week in peak season. Free cancellation means early booking carries no risk."

Why a Pizza-Making Class

Learn Pizza Where It Was Invented

Pizza was invented in Naples, and it’s still the spiritual home of the craft — a Neapolitan class teaches the method that earned the city UNESCO recognition: a slow-proofed dough of just 00 flour, water, salt, and yeast, hand-stretched (never rolled), topped simply, and baked in seconds in a screaming-hot wood-fired oven. But you can learn hands-on across Italy: Rome has the widest choice of classes (often pizza plus pasta), Sorrento sets it above the Amalfi Coast, Florence pairs pizza with gelato in Tuscany, and Taormina, Milan, Como and Cortona each add their own setting. Compare the cities below, then open a spoke for the top-rated workshop, full comparison, and booking.
