Choose a Naples pizza making class by dessert and venue
A Naples pizza making class gives you hands-on pizza preparation with instruction, ingredients and equipment, with tiramisu or gelato depending on the programme. The main choice is the dessert you want to make and the kind of course you want to spend time in. Drinks and the cooking setup also differ, so choose a specific class rather than expecting every pizza lesson to share the same format.
The selected venues are on Via Medina and Via delle Zite. Use the course address as your starting point for arranging the day, then add a separate old-town walk if you want more city context. Naples’ historic centre has a Greek and Roman street pattern beneath its later layers, but a cooking booking is a practical lesson rather than a guided history route. If you prefer eating at several stops, compare the food walks instead.
Our picks: Pizza classes
Our take: Choose pizza and tiramisu for a dessert pairing, or the pizza and gelato workshop for a different sweet finish. Each offers practical instruction.

Make pizza from ingredients with a chef, choosing between the tiramisu programmes and the pizza-and-gelato class.
Pizza and tiramisu with an electric oven
The two-and-a-half-hour class on Via Medina 19 combines pizza from scratch with step-by-step tiramisu preparation. A local pizza chef leads the session, with all ingredients and cooking equipment supplied. The programme uses a home-style electric oven and the ruoto napoletano. Choose it for that specific cooking method, rather than expecting the oven fire in the illustrative photograph to show this class’s equipment.
A Neapolitan appetizer and welcome drink, either prosecco or a soft drink, are included. You eat your own pizza during the experience, and mineral water is unlimited during the class. The tiramisu element includes a tasting choice from the listed drinks. Unlimited wine applies only to the 13:45 and 20:15 sessions. An apron is provided for use, and a digital recipe accompanies the participation certificate. Hotel pickup is excluded, so arrange your own journey to the venue.
A longer tiramisu lesson or a gelato programme
The three-hour pizza-and-tiramisu class meets at Via delle Zite 30. It includes a chef instructor, ingredients and equipment, a Neapolitan starter, preparation of San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce and baking with a pizza peel. Homemade pizza and tiramisu are part of the experience. A soft drink, beer or glass of red or white wine is included, alongside water and a limoncello tasting with the dessert; extra drinks cost more.
For a different dessert, the two-hour pizza-and-gelato class also meets at Via delle Zite 30. It includes expert pizza instruction, dough and sauce preparation, making the pizza and a gelato-making experience. Ingredients for both are included, along with a chef’s hat and apron, drinks and a certificate with a recipe to take home. The shared street address does not make the dessert programmes interchangeable: select the class that actually contains the activity you want.
Getting to the course and fitting it into the day
Metro Line 1 links Garibaldi with stops including Duomo, Università, Municipio, Toledo, Dante and Museo. Use the city network to plan your wider movement, then work out the final approach to the class address. A metro stop name is not the course meeting point. The Naples public transport guide explains the distinction between company tickets and integrated tickets if you are combining different journeys.
Treat the class as a fixed appointment within the day and leave space for arrival instead of scheduling another timed visit immediately beforehand. For dietary requirements, establish whether the chosen ingredients and class format suit you; choose on the actual programme rather than a general expectation about cooking lessons. A city sightseeing visit or unhurried walk can provide a separate focus around the course. If your interest is mainly tasting food while exploring, a guided food walk may be the more suitable use of the time.

Questions about your visit
Do all classes use a wood-fired oven?
The Via Medina class uses a home-style electric oven and a ruoto napoletano. The oven-fire photograph illustrates the wider pizza theme and does not show that course’s cooking setup. Choose the class by its actual programme and equipment.
Is unlimited wine part of every session?
At the Via Medina class it applies only to the 13:45 and 20:15 sessions. The other tiramisu class includes one selected drink with water and a limoncello tasting, while additional drinks are extra.
Should I choose tiramisu or gelato?
Choose tiramisu if that is the dessert you want to prepare alongside pizza. Choose the gelato programme for a gelato-making experience with the pizza lesson. Both are hands-on choices; the distinction is what you spend the dessert portion of your class doing.
