It’s a cozy, hands-on class where you’ll learn to craft authentic Italian pizza from scratch, enjoy a delicious tiramisu, and sip unlimited wine—all in a relaxed, friendly setting.

We loved the personalized approach of this experience. Being led by a local chef means you get insider tips and a more genuine feel for Italian culinary traditions. The fact that you’re involved in every step—from kneading the dough to choosing toppings—makes it satisfying and memorable. It’s not just a demonstration; it’s an activity where you actually make your own pizza.

Expect a straightforward but engaging session: start with a welcome glass of prosecco to get you in the mood. The instructor then guides you through mixing, kneading, and shaping the dough, offering tips along the way. You’ll get to choose your favorite toppings, which makes each pizza unique.
While your pizza bakes in the oven, you’ll indulge in a pre-made tiramisu, which is a smart way to sample Italy’s iconic dessert without the time pressure of making it from scratch. Throughout the experience, unlimited wine flows, making it feel like a relaxed, social gathering.
Once your pizza is ready, you’ll gather around to enjoy your creation. The cozy, informal setting encourages conversation and sharing—perfect for couples or small groups wanting some convivial fun.
