Uncover the best of Cooking Class the local Way

"We had a wonderful time as a family learning how to make authentic Neapolitan pizzas with Gennaro. He took us to his friend Vincenzo’s Pizza Bar, who has been making pizza since in the womb!! We learnt how to make the dough from scratch, including how to activate the yeast and mix and knead the dough perfectly. We then learnt how to prepare the ingredients with vital tips we never knew. We had lots of fun learning how to push the dough into shape - it’s such an art, and we can’t wait to do it at home. Afterwards we pulled the uncooked pizzas onto the paddle and watched them go into the 450 degrees C oven, and then sat down to enjoy them afterwards - with a Peroni beer of course! They were absolutely delicious!! Thank you to Gennaro for such a fun afternoon - we laughed so much, and our pizza making session was the perfect break from touring all day. We also did another 2 yours with Gennaro in Naples (City Tour and 10 tastings of Naples) and we can’t recommend him enough. He’s kind, funny, generous, knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about the city of Naples. Gennaro also asked us to contact him at any time with questions we may have. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy"

"Gennaro was the perfect guide - funny, knowledgeable, passionate and interesting. He captivated us with his passion for pizza and this was the basis of our small tour of Naples culminating in a pizza lesson in a professional kitchen. A truly unforgettable and irreplaceable experience. This tour is authentic - you will experience real Naples rather than instagram generic Italy, but it is better for this. 100% recommended"

"Our first time in Napoli, and what a way to get introduced to the city. Had a fantastic afternoon with Gennaro, with so much information, and fantastic food tastings. We had originally booked the pizza class, but unfortunately the oven was broken, so after speaking with Gennaro, we agreed to go for a blend of the city tour and tasting tour. What started out as a disappointment with no pizza class, turned out to be a great tour, and Gennaro is a really good guide, with so much knowledge and love for his city, and on top a great guy. Thank you Gennaro, it was great. Christel & Morten"

"This pizza class with Gennaro was the highlight of a recent trip to Naples. It was tons of fun and very informative. Fantastic hands-on experience with lots of information on history, ingredients, and technique. He was very accommodating to schedule and easy to work with. I couldn't recommend this more during a trip, for all levels of experience."

"I don’t think I can ever say enough how much we appreciate Gennaro for everything he taught our family. This is the second tour that we booked with him. His enthusiasm and love for Napoli is contagious. We can’t wait to come back to visit. All of us had so much fun learning about and making pizza from scratch with fresh ingredients. Not only did we learn what to do but we learned the why behind what we were doing. The importance of each step. The pizza we made with Gennaro is probably the best pizza we have ever eaten. My husband has been researching pizza ovens like Gennaro had so we can make pizza just like it at home. Spending time with Gennaro, his beautiful daughter, and Monica was very special. Grazie ! "

"Our trip started off with Gennaro picking us up from our resort, which he had never been. Gennaro was very prompt and spoke a lot about his home city of Napoli, thank you on the information we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the talk. Now the pizza class. Gennaro introduced us to his family and they were so excited to be a part of our class and welcomed us to his home. He also had a special guest professional pizza maker Monica, (sp) who was awesome to watch work. I really enjoyed working with her on a professional level. The pizza was the star of the show, sauce was simple, flavorful and light. The cheese was slightly salty as it should be and had a low moisture content to protect the crust. The CRUST, wow, crisp and chewy from end to end! This was a great class and I would recommend it it anyone especially an old chef like me, never to old to learn and share ideas! Bravo Gennaro, well done!"

"Ylenia was such a wonderful host and so accommodating for our family of 5. We chose this excursion during our cruise because it was our sons 11th birthday and he wanted to learn authentic pizza making. We so appreciated Ylenia's explanation and sourcing the best ingredients for our experience. She was punctual and gave thorough directions and went above and beyond to make the time special - including a birthday candle in the yummy dessert calzones. Our 4 year old lost interest in the process at some point but she had colors and an art station that she so graciously allowed him to use. Her urban farm is a hidden treasure in the heart of Naples! "
