11.Rome: Pizza Making Class Small Group Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 487 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $64

Work beside a local chef at a fully equipped station near the Vatican Museums. Make pizza by hand, learn the science behind the dough, enjoy a Spritz and Roman cheese chips, then eat your creation with wine, beer, or a soft drink. Carlo, Davide, David, and Mara are among the instructors who have led this class.

“David was brilliant. And the pizza was delicious. Of course, you don’t actually eat the dough you’ve just made...it needs to sit for 2 days first! So when you’re done mixing the flour, water and yeast, they magically replace that with dough that’s been sitting the right amount of time, and you pick up from there (beating it up is so much fun!). You then pick the ingredients you’d like as toppings, and you even get to slide the pizza in the oven yourself. Fantastic experience! Thank you so much Chef David!”

We're rather local to Chicago and loved learning about what we already though we were well versed in. Thank you, John for making this your craft!”
