Dive into the world of authentic Neapolitan pizza! In this two-hour cooking class, you'll learn the centuries-old secrets of famous Neapolitan pizza directly from an experienced pizza chef. Discover why Naples' culinary tradition is so unique and how to make the perfect pizza yourself. The course begins with detailed instruction in the basics of dough preparation for Neapolitan pizza.

You'll learn not only the right technique, but also the history and tradition behind this culinary masterpiece. A special highlight is the introduction to the oldest method of dividing dough balls, the so-called "mozzatura". This traditional technique has been passed down by Neapolitan pizza makers for generations. After dough preparation, you'll receive a detailed presentation of the regional products used in Neapolitan cuisine.
