What to expect
Arrive at a working kitchen near the Vatican and get a brief rundown of Neapolitan pizza traditions. Your pizzaiolo will walk you through dough preparation—kneading, resting, and the critical stretching technique that creates that signature cornicione crust. You'll handle the dough yourself under guidance, then move to topping and baking. The instructor shares tips on ingredient quality and why Neapolitan pizza relies on simplicity. Once your pizza emerges from the oven, you'll sit and enjoy it hot with water and other courses provided.
