💡 Naples invented pizza. Learning to make it here is like learning guitar from Hendrix.

What you learn

The Neapolitan dough (tipo 00 flour, water, salt, yeast — nothing else). The 24-72 hour fermentation that creates the characteristic chewy, charred crust. Hand-stretching (never a rolling pin — sacrilege in Naples). The wood-fired oven at 450°C that cooks a pizza in 60-90 seconds. You make 2-3 pizzas (margherita, marinara, your choice), eat them all, drink local wine. The instructor is usually a pizzaiolo from a real pizzeria — not a cooking school teacher.

Where to book

Classes in the Spaccanapoli/Quartieri Spagnoli area put you in the heart of Naples. Some famous pizzerias (Sorbillo, Da Michele alumni) offer classes in their kitchens. GetYourGuide and Airbnb Experiences have options from €50 (group of 10+) to €150 (private/small group). The best: a small group (4-6) in a real pizzeria kitchen, not a cooking school.

💡 The Neapolitan pizza rules (enforced by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana): Dough: only tipo 00 flour. Rising: 8-24 hours minimum. Stretching: by hand only. Oven: wood-fired, 430-480°C. Cooking time: 60-90 seconds. Diameter: max 35cm. Center: max 0.3cm thick. Crust (cornicione): 1-2cm, puffy, charred spots. Break any rule and it's not pizza napoletana. It's just pizza.
