Great Napoli experience - We enjoyed wine and beer while learning techniques to make pizza three ways at home. Very informative, and got to eat all of our creations!
Luigi was very helpful, great English, and took the time to ensure all our questions were answered.

Napoli pizza experience - the best experience - Luigi made this a very personal cooking experience. The other couples all cancelled and we had a private class. He answered questions of interest. We had great sharing conversion and instruction on sauce. Vegetables and ham and cheese. His English was perfect for my poor Italian

Great class! - Great class with lots of tips to enable you to make pizza easily at home. The calzone was also very tasty! Good for kids (mine is 8)— they’ll learn what they need to make dinner for the family (no joke!)

Great experience - We made two pizzas in a way I never thought before; it was a really nice atmosphere as we were only 4 people, and chef Luigi explained very well how to do the pizzas! Loved it!

Superb pizza lesson and they tasted great too! - We reviewed lots of pizza making places and found this absolute gem! It is easy to find and relatively central to Naples. Greeted and introduced to the history of pizza by Alberto, it was fun and interesting. Then we went into the class with Luigi. Really good class where Luigi had lots of enthusiasm and love for all things Italian! He showed us how to make 3 different kinds of pizza, all of which we could do at home, no pizza oven needed! All members of the class had an individual cooking station and it taught you authentic Italian cooking. Really enjoyed it and we were absolutely stuffed - so much food!! And you can buy some lovely accompanying wine at very good price!! Definitely recommend to any tourist. Thankyou ☺️

Would love to do it again! - This was a top 5 moment of my Italy trip. I would highly recommend. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. We learned to make 3 different pizzas with chef Luigi and learned lots of interesting facts about the history of Napoli pizza aswell. It gets you out of the sun for 2 hours and is very simple to follow, and the best thing is you get to eat delicious hot pizza.
