Learn to Make Neapolitan Pizza at a Local's Home in Naples - ed3c39cd7cafe5536ef5d72a77ad9af5

Like all Neapolitans, pizza is one of my favorite dishes, and in this experience I will share with you the secrets of this passion of mine.

As soon as we meet we will go shopping in a typical street market where we will find all the freshest ingredients for

our pizzas.

Then after a 15 minutes ride i will take you to the terrace of my house, where I will welcome you with drinks and appetizers, and then

you will learn from the scratch the method of making a handmade dough, what are its fermentation and maturation times to arrive at an excellent product.

You will roll out the pizza and compose it with the top classic products of a Margherita or a Marinara or whatever you may prefer.

The last part, but certainly the most fun, will be baking it in a real wood-burning oven to cook it at the right point.

In the end your efforts will be plenty rewarded with your tasty delight accompanied by a glass of country wine and an artisanal Gelato as dessert.

If, on the other hand, you have other toppings preferences, there are no problems, I can customize your experience, you just need to let me know!

This is the plan

Check out the plan below to see what you'll get up to with your local host. Feel free to personalize this offer with Gianpaolo .

  1. Meeting point

    You will be picked up anywhere in Naples. Your local host will contact you regarding the exact pickup point.

  2. Example menu

    This is what our dinner could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.

  3. Local street Market

    Based on your taste we will chose the toppings for an authentic pizza such as Pomodori SanMarzano, Pomodori del Piennolo, Fiordilatte, basil or any local treat you may like!
  4. Aperitif on the terrace

    I will welcome you to my house with local wine and appetizers of buffalo mozzarella, olives and tomato bruschetta.
  5. Let's make the dough

    Water, flour, yeast, salt and a little strength from our arms to create the perfect dough!
  6. Toppings and baking

    Spread the pizza with its ingredients and bake it yourself in a real wood oven, it will be ready in 60/90 seconds!
  7. The best part…taste your delicious pieces of art!

    Finally Try the goodness of Neapolitan pizza!
  8. Dessert

    Artisanal Italian Gelato
  9. Drop off

    I will take you back anywhere in the center of Naples
  10. Make it yours

    Want to tweak the menu? Book directly & chat afterwards with your host to adjust highlights, skip stops, or make small changes to fit your preferences.

I booked this course for my 2 kids and myself , and we all had a great time ! Gianpaolo came to pick us up at our hotel which is a huge plus - and drove us back afterwards of course. We felt very welcome and at ease straightaway. We had a lot of fun together as a family making, then eating the pizzas on Gianpaolo's terrasse. Going for a walk and getting a lovely ice cream afterwards was a great ending to a memorable evening. Thanks you Gianpaolo !! Fantastic from start to finish

We had a very nice tour with Gianpaolo and Mimo. The boat tour around the bay was very interesting and gave a good insight into the history of the bay. Plus, since it was 36 degrees, it was a very welcome bit of cooling down. Gianpaolo knows the region and its history very well and shares all kinds of information along the way. He is very relaxed and easily adapts to the needs of his clients. Relaxed and knowledgeable

I have always been interested in learning more about the historic and volcanically active area west of Naple. Gianpaolo took us out of crazy traffic in Naples and toured us around his home town area where traffic is less hectic. We saw recently active volcanoes and caulderas, Roman temples, bathes, an old Spanish fort and finished up at a Roman amphitheater about half the size of the Coluseum in Rome. Gianpaolo's knowledge of the area along with his good humour and excellent speaking ability in English helped make this a very enjoyable trip. We recommend him 100%!

Our day to Gianpaolo's hometown, Pozzuoli, was fantastic! We loved getting out of the city and exploring such a beautiful seaside town. Gianpaolo was very knowledgeable, his English was excellent, and we felt like he was a friend not just a tour guide. Would definitely book him for another tour when we return! Thanks JP!Loved this unique experience!

Our tour with Gianpaolo in Pozzuoli and Campi Flegrei was the absolute highlight during our trip in Naples. Gianpaolo is very passionate and proud about his hometown Pozzuoli and the surrounding area. His enthusiasm is infectious and will permeate down on you. He will spare no effort to give you an unforgetable experience. Escape the city bustle of Naples and go for a daytrip to enjoy the seaside in Pozzuoli! Sailing along the shore of Pozzuoli

Gianpaolo nous a fait découvrir la culture napolitaine ainsi que sa gastronomie, tout en s'adaptant aux particularités de notre groupe. Son français est très bon. Les arrêts nourriture étaient tous délicieux (prosecco, pizza napolitaine, friture de poisson, etc). Une visite parfaite en début de séjour pour découvrir les principaux points d'intérêts de Naples !

Gianpaolo was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. He gave us a wonderful tour and explained about the history of the city as well as showing us lots of different foods - definitely come hungry! It was very hot due to the heatwave and we would advise bring water with you as not all food offerings came with a drink and after walking down the hill we were hot and thirsty but otherwise it was a great experience and a wonderful introduction to Naples and the food.Fantastico

We are foodies and we hit the jackpot with this tour. We sampled amazing local food. We were able to tour a historic area in Naples. And we had time to see great sea views. We plan to return and will probably bring others and do another one of these tours.Amazing Food Tour

You can’t go wrong with Gianpaolo! The tour with him was so much fun- he brought us up to enjoy one of the best views of the city with a glass of Prosecco and then took us down to the historic center to taste everything that Naples has to offer. He was knowledgeable, funny, and overall just awesome tour guide! Also- he gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants and tips for the rest of our trip that made our vacation so much better! Gianpaolo is amazing!

This was a wonderful experience. He had us start at the top of hill with a breathtaking view of the city. We then chatted as we walked down hill and through the streets sampling the food. We tried a large variety of delicious food and drinks during the time. Loved seeing the streets and markets. Overall made for the perfect day excursion in Naples.Wonderful stroll through Naples

Prepare for a good time. So, I had only one day in Naples and I walked around earlier I n the afternoon. I had a 3-hour walking food tour with Gianpaolo from 6-9pm. All I can say was WOW. I felt like I did 8-hours worth of fun with him in just a short 3-hour block of time. We met, talked Naples history, went for a stunning city view, then popped into various places for genuinely Napoli food (drinks, staples and desserts). He was super conversational and I learned a lot from his stories. I’m sad I did not stay longer in Naples. I must come back and I will look up Gianpaolo for more of his tours. Highly, highly recommend. Had I not done this tour I would have missed on on what to eat, what to know about Naploli, and as a solo traveler, I would have had fewer memories to take back home. Well worth the money. Gianpaolo was a phenomenally geeat guide

Gianpaolo was a late substitute as our original guide developed a conflict, but he did an amazing job! We started at the top of Napoli as sunset approached, overlooking the central city with a Prosecco toast. After opting to ride the Funicular down due to rainy conditions, we spent a delightful evening tasting fried treats, delicious ziti napoliano in ragù, pizza portafoglio, and several sweet treats. Throughout Gianpaolo shared his live for the city as well as answering our questions about life in Napoli. We had a great time, as did our sons (23 and 12). No need to eat after this tour - you will be full! Note: lots of walking on this tour - wouldn’t have been a problem except we had just finished walking all over Pompeii, but Gianpaolo was very patient and gave plenty of tasty breaks. Highly recommend!Great local food experience!

Gianpaolo is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of this beautiful city, and we enjoyed every single tasting that he picked out for us. We enjoyed spending our time with him and it was a great way to get oriented in the city. This was one of the very best tours we have ever been on. Do yourself a favor and book this tour with him!Perfect first day in Napoli

We had a great time eating and learning about Napoli. We were unprepared for the traffic so we were late but Gianpaolo handled it all with no problem. He is a great guide and we enjoyed learning about the city and eating with the locals. His English is very good as he has spent time with his relatives in NJ. His recommendation for gelato was wonderful. Highly recommend. Food and good info

Notre visite avec Gianpaolo a été très agréable. Il nous a fait découvrir les spécialités napolitaines en nous en apprenant un peu plus sur cette ville hyperactive. L’air de rien, nous avons ainsi appris les origines de cette ville, les faits marquants de cette ville. Tout était parfait pour nous (2 adultes, 1 garçon de 16 ans et une fille de 9 ans).Visite enchantée de Naples et spécialités

We did the food tour with Gianpaolo and thoroughly enjoyed it. We would not hesitate to do another with him. Food first - everywhere he took us was interesting, authentic, and so tasty! And what we also appreciated was that there was no pressure to eat everything. Which might sound a bit crazy, but we had done another one elsewhere, and hadn’t paced ourselves which meant we couldn’t enjoy the last few stops. With Gianpaolo he gently reminded us throughout to not feel obliged to eat everything - so we managed every stop and still felt good at the end. Gianpaolo himself - he was full of interesting facts and anecdotes, he pointed out interesting places, he balanced chatting away to us with also giving us space to look around, ponder and chat amongst ourselves. It was an excellent introduction to Naples. A thoroughly enjoyable tour

We did the tour of the Almafi coast with Gianpaolo and it became an amazing day.He is extremely friendly, relaxed, easy-going and a really good driver. his vocabulary of the english language is excellent. He showed us much more than we thought we were going to see and never rushed us. We would definitely use Gianpaolo again in the future when we come back to Naples. So when you are looking for a tour guide, book Gianpaolo !!!!!!!Great day around the Amalfi Coast with an excellent guide

We couldn’t ask for a better guide than Gianpaolo! Every food stop that we made was amazing, and he is very knowledgeable about Napoli’s history, the various neighborhoods, and, of course, S.S.C. Napoli. He was also able to accommodate our larger group, a later start time, and some vegetarian options, and always made sure people were comfortable on the walk! Gianpaolo is a fantastic person and you won’t be disappointed!The best tour & guide!

L'approche de Gianpaolo est centrée sur l'expérience de ses clients. Il modifie l'itinéraire à notre demande. Il prend l'initiative de nous réserver une table avec vue sur mer pendant que nous nous baignons. Il nous laisse décider de la durée des arrêts. Il n'est pas un guide qui nous fait de longs discours sur l'histoire. Il est ce nouvel ami qui nous fait entrer dans son univers (de façon simple et informel). Il incarne parfaitement la philosophie de "With locals". Nous avons BEAUCOUP appris avec lui. Mais surtout, nous avons appris ce que NOUS voulions apprendre. Gianpaolo est un super guide. Notre voyage n'aurait pas été le même sans lui. Merci Gianpaolo!Un ami à notre service

Fantastic food and walking tour with Gianpaulo. He was great fun and a good guide. Gave us some very interesting information about Naples, it's history and people.

Gianpaolo was great every step of the way! We took a trip through the Amalfi coast and it was a very relaxed, take your time tour. Absolutely no rush, just taking it all in(amazing panoramic views) and all the while having cool conversations with Gianpaolo. We mostly stayed away from tours on our trip but this was totally worth it and more so in the Amalfi coast where you're hopping between towns and moving through out the day. Awesome all day expirience!

Gianpaolo was a great guide for me., conversation was easy and we spoke of the region, and language throughout the day. I didn’t have much time to explore the region on my own but I really wanted to get the highlights. To know what to comeback to for a deeper dive. We moved at the speed I wanted pausing to look into a few shops here and there or take photos. I didn’t feel stuck in the car or like we wasted time on things I wasn’t interested in. I would do another tour with Gianpaolo given the opportunity. Thank you!!What a great way to spend the day

Our half-day Tastes of Naples tour with Gianpaolo was great fun for our family of four (which cannot be said for every experience with teenagers)! We all loved Gianpaolo's easygoing nature, local information, and especially his chauffeuring. I can't imagine doing a first trip to Naples without a guide, and Gianpaolo led us expertly through the historic center, stopping at the most important places--for food! We tried many unique local and delicious bites and I am still dreaming about the mozzarella....Highly recommend this tour and this guide!Buffalo Mozzarella, will you marry me?
