What you'll do
Your experience begins in Como with a warm welcome and an introduction to the ingredients that make great pizza. Rather than simply following a recipe, you'll explore why quality matters and learn how thoughtful sourcing influences taste and texture. And it goes without saying, many of the products used come from local farmers, breeders, and artisans who share a passion for traditional methods and excellent food. In quick order, you'll don an apron and get hands-on.
Under the guidance of a skilled artisan pizza maker (pizzaiolo), you'll learn how to mix, knead, stretch, and shape dough using time-honored techniques. As you work, your host will share tips and practical know-how so you can confidently recreate the process in your own kitchen. You'll also hear about the role food plays in Italian life—not just as nourishment, but as culture, history, and connection. This relaxed and informal setting makes it easy to ask questions while you learn new skills and enjoy the social side of cooking.
Fresh from the oven, you'll sit down for a well-earned meal featuring the pizza you've made yourself. It's a satisfying end to an experience that's as educational as it is delicious.
