Pizza is probably the world’s favourite food, and where better to learn than Italy? 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.

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!
Then, everybody will learn how to make chocolate gelato and the cone to put it in. Your chef will also take you through the history of Italian ice cream - perfect!
Once everything is ready, you’ll be able to eat your delicious pizza and gelato! An unforgettable afternoon, you’ll learn about Italian culture and its most delicious specialities while enjoying a fun and easy experience with your family

5.00What a fun evening!! We were met by Lidia our funny and sweet chef for the evening outside the cooking school . We were a small group of six in total which was fabulous as it was intimate and fun. Lidia showed us how to make the dough and knead it so it is soft and fluffy ( hint be gentle) then We all made our own and Lidia made sure we had it to perfection. While the dough was resting we made vanilla gelato which was them put in a gelato maker. Wine time was in between the two!! Once our dough rested we were shown how to stretch it and top it. Then we each were taught how to put the pizza on the paddle in the oven. They take no time at all to cook and then the best part we ate it hot from the oven, chewy crust. Light and fluffy and just delicious. The gelato was amazing too!! Lidia took a Polaroid of us and gave us a list of restaurants in Palermo they like. We also got the recipes. A really fun evening. The company is great at sending reminders leading up to and the day of the workshop. Highly recommend.

5.00I booked the course as a solo traveler and had the best evening with my group. Our cook was Enza, who was at work with a lot of love, commitment and joy in her work. We made super delicious pizza and ice cream. Beautiful! Enza also provided us with various wines and water.

5.00From beginning to end, it was great evening with lots of different nationalities coming together to make pizza & gelato! The lady teaching us was a lot of fun & she had a really nice assistant who kept us supplied with some very nice white wine. We were a mixed group, with adults & a couple of families & everyone was entertained. We all learnt a lot & it was interesting how to make the pizza dough the correct way! Definitely enjoyed the food we made & would do a different evening when we return next time!
Brilliant time
