"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!"

"We were a group of nine ladies making a stop in Naples for the day. Gennaro was an excellent guide. He is funny, enthusiastic, accommodating, and full of interesting tidbits regarding Naples and its culinary offerings. Most of all, he is passionate about Naples! Gennaro took us to establishments we would have never found on our own and experienced many of the best culinary delights Naples has to offer. You can’t go wrong with Gennaro as your Naples guide."

"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. Gennaro is the perfect host, tour guide, friend and everythign else in the middle. I thought I was signing up for a pizza making class, and althought the pizza we made was phonminal, the tour was so much more than that. The passion that Gennaro deliveres about Naples is asthenic and contegious. He took us places and treated us to "Napoleon" treats that I woudl have other wise walked right past. I have travel the world, may times over. Visited over 60 country, and in all my travles we meet locals, enthroustic locals, locals that become friends. I knew fromt he moment that we met Gennaro, he would become a story for my family to talk about for a very long time. 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."

"Was exactly what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. "

"We have had the best tour around the backstreets and bars and eateries of old town Naples and I can seriously say I could not eat another thing after the tour! We had so much great food and our guide was fantastic in telling us all the history about Naples and the food and also answering any questions we had. We are actually staying not far from where we did the tour and we have been back to a number of the places we ‘discovered’ on the tour we enjoyed them so much."

"We had a great time tasting different foods. Giovanni was very informative and knowledgeable."

"Gennaro spent 3 hours with my wife and I showing us the true taste of Naples. We tried 10 different local items, each unique and wonderful in their own ways. Gennaro showed so much passion for food, and his city of Napoli, that we felt we truly had a great experience. "

"Gennaro was very personable and was very proud of his city. He went the extra mile to ensure we had a pleasurable experience. The tour itself was very nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. He even took pictures of us and sent them to us after we got home! I would recommend it to anyone."

"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! "

"We had a fabulous time with Gennaro. We learned so much about the city of Naples and the food. We took the food tour and sampled some absolutely delicious local fare. He introduced us to some new foods and some great people who owned the establishments. Other reviewers say that “we met Gennaro as strangers and left as friends.” So true! When we come back to Naples we will look him up for more tours and to say hello again! "
