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.

"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.

"Fantastic!"

We loved the class. The small group and the teacher were wonderful. We highly recommend this class in Florence.

"Excelled"

Class was great. Attended with my 2 grandchildren. Suggestion: would be a good idea to give children water or fruit juice instead of coke to eat with their pizza!!

"Memorable evening of cooking, dining and sipping wine with family!"

Our pizza and gelato-making class was a key activity for my husband and I and our three adult children while visiting Florence Italy. It was well-organized, informative, and a lot of fun. The pizza and gelato turned out to be delicious and we received recipes to replicate at home. Special mention to Alicia who shared some key facts about gelato and how to identify the healthier versions across Italy. She shared her favorite gelato spots in the city and just brought a visible passion and excitement to the experience.

"Magnifico"

Great instructors! Great Pizza! Great gelato! Need I say more?
