About

Go learn to make Pizza and Gelato just like the Italians do! Join our late afternoon class! Our chefs will be happy to introduce you to the history of these italian glorious creations!

Make pizza in oven with our professional pizza chef, called pizzaiolo. You will learn how to make tender, flexible yeast dough that stretches to almost paper-thinness, and even the trick for a flavorful yet light tomato sauce. Even if you bake pizza in your own oven, these techniques are universal and using them really makes a difference.

With the pizzaiolo, you’ll make your very own pizza, you’ll stretch it, sauce it, bake it, slice it. It will be the best pizza you ever tasted, and you made it yourself! Come to make pizza in Florence!

The chef will tell you why gelato remains Italy’s favorite dessert while giving an insight to the ‘gelato culture’ that continues to grow. You will get to know the basic raw ingredients, how to select the best products available according to specific principles and you will have a presentation and tasting of some of the flavors used in gelato making. You will learn about the development and application of natural colors, the heating and freezing techniques and how they have different effects on ingredients. It is always a great day to discover the recipe of the world most loved dessert!

A booklet with recipes will let you cook for your friends once you get back home.

This activity is strongly recommended for families that wish to have children learn about the Italian culture, an easy and fun experience that will last forever in their memory.

"Fun, interactive and informative!!"

Alessandro made our class exciting and fun!! He spent time with each participant and made sure that we were successful!

"I am now an Italy Trained Pizza Cook and have the certificate to prove it."

The Pizza and Gelato course was instructive and fun. Our Chef Alessandro was a super guy, engaging and did a great job to teach us with an easy manner and getting good results. The kitchen is clean and well set up for the purpose, the whole session worked very well for adults and kids. We got to enjoy our Pizza creation and Gelato with some red wine and soft drinks provided. It was time and money well spent and is a highlight of our visit to Florence.

"Super"

Chef was so informative! I learned a ton while also having fun.

"The pizza & gelato class with Andrea was awesome!"

Andrea made our Italian cooking experience one to remember. He was informative & helpful. We really enjoyed our evening. Grazie to Andrea & the team

"Pizza and Gelato"

We thought the class was just okay. The gelato piece consisted of watching the instructor make the ice cream. A dessert that was more hands-on/interactive would have been good. The pizza was good but no discussion of making the sauce, how to cook in the oven, etc. More involvement in the gelato, baking of the pizza, and preparation of the toppings would have made this better.
