Uncover the best of Cooking Class the local Way

"Gennaro was very accommodating and met us early because we had finished our other tourist activities early. He picked us up from a location that worked for us and immediately made a great impression. Gennaro is funny, engaging and intelligent and knows all about both the history of Naples and pizza 😁 I'm not going to spoil the surprises by listing exactly what we did but it was a great afternoon of learning and sampling food. It was really hot and Gennaro kept us topped up with liquids from different bars and cafes. When we got to the pizza making part of the afternoon, both Gennaro and the staff at the cafe had a deep knowledge of exactly how it should be done. I learnt so much from the session and we made some really good authentic pizzas. My teenage daughters really enjoyed the afternoon as well, both being much better than me at the pizza making. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!"

"We had a group of eight of us on our historical walking tour and pizza-making class with Gennaro. I can't express how incredible our experience was! In all, we spent four hours with Gennaro, first with a walking tour of the Old Town, where we learned about the millenia of history that make Naples what it is today. We had two kids in our group, ages 10 and 12, and Gennaro did an exceptional job of making sure they followed everything and were involved in every detail (like when we went into a special shop that makes very unique Neapolitan nativities out of cork) and had all their questions answered. We learned about the historical gates of the city and went to the old fish and food market street. It seemed like everywhere we went, everyone knew Gennaro! He was kind, fun, and took every details into consideration and control, which was great in a city as busy and sometimes overwhelming as Naples! There are so many words that I can use to describe how amazing the pizza-making class was at Gennaro's apartment, but here are just a few: delicious, special, memorable, fun. I would take that class again! We all learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. In all, I can't recommend Gennaro highly enough. Your group will enjoy your time with him! And we thank Gennaro for helping us with details that made our day in Naples even easier, such as helping to manage our luggage storage and transport. I give this tour a score of 100%!"

" We were in the Naples region for a few days and discovered Gennaro through Viator and a YouTube video and we instantly knew we had to book one of his experiences. We chose his pizza class after a friend of ours took his amazing food tour two weeks earlier. Just like she told us, Gennaro went above and beyond. He’s not just a guide — he’s a storyteller, a chef, and a true ambassador of Naples. He made us feel completely welcome, especially taking great care of my friend who has a knee injury. Before the pizza-making, he guided us through a local market where we tasted street food, learned about traditional ingredients, and soaked in the energy of everyday Neapolitan life. Then came the hands-on part: kneading dough, learning real techniques, and baking in the oven. By the end, we weren’t just eating pizza — we were part of Gennaro’s Naples. Just like so many other people have said in their glowing reviews — now we totally get it! Everything was perfect: warm, delicious, and made with heart. If you’re visiting Naples, Capri, or the Amalfi Coast — in short, if you’re in “Gennaro’s region” — don’t miss the chance to book one of his unforgettable experiences. We’ll never forget it. Thank you, Gennaro! "

"Ylenia is a wonderful cook and person. She taught us to make Pizza in a way you can replicate it at home. I also like the fact that she is very conscious about a healthy choice when it comes to ingredients. "

"What makes pizza different in the place where it was born? Find out in just a few hours by letting Gennaro walk you through each step, including visiting the outdoor market for some ingredients (and recommendations for where to eat later in your trip). Due to some technical difficulties, we did our pizza making in an actual pizzeria kitchen in their off hours. In a way, it was a bonus, because we had both Gennaro and Vicenzo, a pizza master making pizzas in his family's restaurant. It was wonderfully fun, and the Pizza we made was delicious! We learned the extra details of how to properly knead the dough, how to properly measure out ingredients for the correct ratio, and the secret to making the sauce just right. Afterward, Gennaro sent photos and video he took, as well as the instructions so we can do our best to replicate it at home, at least as well as our paltry home oven can handle. An experience we'd highly recommend for anyone who lives to cook, loves to eat, and enjoys meeting new people along the way!"

"ChatGPT 4o Share You said: I am writting a review for a Pizza Making Tour I took with my family in Naples. The host was Gennaro I want to say things like this.

ChatGPT said: When I signed up for a pizza-making class in Naples, I thought I was getting a culinary lesson. While the pizza we crafted was absolutely phenomenal, what Gennaro delivered was so much more than a cooking class—it was a masterclass in passion, culture, and the essence of Naples itself. Gennaro is the perfect host, tour guide, friend, and everything in between. From the moment we met him, it was clear this wasn’t just another activity; this was going to be an experience. His passion for his city is both authentic and contagious. He doesn’t just share Naples with you; he immerses you in it. He led us through streets I might have otherwise passed by, introducing us to hidden gems, local delights, and unforgettable \"Neapolitan\" treats that brought the city to life. Every stop, every detail, was infused with Gennaro’s boundless enthusiasm and love for his hometown. I’ve traveled extensively—over 60 countries and countless adventures—and I’ve met many locals who left lasting impressions. But Gennaro stands apart. From the moment we met, I knew he wouldn’t just be part of this trip but a story my family would cherish and retell for years to come. If you’re looking for more than just a pizza-making class, if you want an unforgettable journey into the heart and soul of Naples, then Gennaro is your man. This experience is one of the highlights of all my travels, and I cannot recommend it enough."

"My family had the best time with Gennaro and Monica! My husband loves making pizza and this experience taught him so many tips and tricks he was able to take home with him. Gennaro is so personable and made us all feel at ease as we strolled through the markets in Naples and got to taste many local delights ! Making pizza in Monica’s kitchen was unreal - both she and Gennaro were hands on, enthusiastic and engaging (let’s not forget patient!) with our two kids. We just had the best time! And I can’t recommend this special experience enough. Don’t hesitate - book this experience if you love making pizza or just love pizza in general! Thank you Gennaro for such a memorable night! "
