About this tour
A 2.5-hour hands-on pizza-making class at an established Como pizzeria where you'll learn Neapolitan technique, shape and top your own pizza, then eat it straightaway with a drink. You'll walk away knowing how to stretch dough properly and build layers of flavour — useful if you cook at home, but mainly fun if you just want to eat good pizza you've made yourself in a relaxed setting.
Highlights
- Learn Neapolitan pizza technique from the pizzeria's chef
- Shape, top and bake your own Margherita and custom pizza
- Eat your finished pizzas immediately with Italian beer or wine
- Complimentary limoncello to finish
- Vegetarian and dietary requirements accommodated on request
- Wheelchair accessible throughout; prams welcome
- Located near public transport in Como city centre
What to expect
You'll arrive at the pizzeria and meet the chef, who'll demonstrate how to work dough — stretching, shaping, getting the base right. You'll then have hands-on time making your own Margherita base and topping it as you like. The chef will guide you into the oven and time the bake. Once cooked, you'll sit down and eat your pizza with your choice of Italian craft beer or wine, plus a glass of limoncello at the end.
The class is informal and social rather than lecture-style. Expect a small group format (exact size not specified) and a relaxed pace — the pizzeria runs this as part of its normal service, so there's a working-kitchen atmosphere rather than a dedicated classroom setup.

Good to know
This suits anyone keen to learn pizza-making basics in a real setting without heavy theory, and families with young children or stroller-dependent visitors (all areas are wheelchair accessible and prams are fine). Dietary requirements, including vegetarian, are catered for if you flag them at booking. Note: gratuities are not included in the price. The class involves standing, working with dough and navigating a kitchen, so mobility isn't completely passive. It's a social lunch or dinner experience, so if you prefer one-on-one tuition or a quieter environment, this may feel bustling. The timing — 2.5 hours — is tight if you're very slow to learn, though the chef will keep things moving.
