A Detailed Look at the Experience

The Location and Setting

Giuseppe’s home, where the class takes place, offers a surprisingly intimate and peaceful environment with a view of Naples that’s hard to match. Sitting on the terrace, you’ll see the city sprawled below, with Mount Vesuvius often visible in the distance—an iconic backdrop that turns your pizza-making session into a mini sightseeing tour. The location is accessible via metro (exit Colli Aminei) or by car, with free parking available along the avenue, a helpful detail for those not relying solely on public transport.

The Itinerary and What You’ll Do

The session begins with Giuseppe introducing you to the essentials of Neapolitan pizza—the history, the ingredients, and the techniques. You’ll learn how to make the perfect dough with locally sourced flour, and Giuseppe’s tips on kneading and shaping will give you confidence, even if you’re new to pizza making. The sauce, made from fresh tomatoes, is another highlight, with Giuseppe explaining the importance of simplicity and quality.

Once your pizza base is ready, you’ll top it with authentic ingredients like fresh mozzarella, basil, and perhaps a drizzle of olive oil. As you put your creations into the oven, you can soak in the views and chat with Giuseppe about Naples’s culinary traditions. When your pizzas are baked, you’ll gather around the table to enjoy the fruits of your labor—hot, flavorful, and beautifully crafted pies.

Practical Considerations

The class lasts around three hours, which is ample time to learn, cook, and eat without feeling rushed.
