Great class - we recommend!
"Luigi was great. We had a wonderful time in this class. The facility is clean and nicely set up for teaching cooking, as it is held at a cooking academy. We each made 3 different pizzas - Neopolitan, fried and one I can’t remember the name of but it was like pizza bites/balls. Plenty of left overs to take home - my husband is eating his right now as a snack! Would definitely do another cooking class with this company!"

Private pizza Class in Naples - pizza chef for a day reviews:

The REAL Neapolitan pizza making experience. Wow!
"My partner and I have been making pizza at home every week since the pandemic and this gave us the opportunity to learn directly from the master pizza makers at Pizzeria Trianon, including a personal course with the owner of the restaurant. We wanted a REAL pizza making experience and not one of those family-friendly classes that was more for entertainment than actually learning how to make true Neapolitan pizza. We were given instruction from beginning (making the dough) to the end (how to launch the pizza in the wood oven and turning it). Alessandro was a great host and translator and although all the pizza masters only spoke Italian, we didn't have any problems understanding the process with Alessandro's translations. I couldn't recommend this class enough and it is definitely worth the extra cost compared to the other cheaper classes because this really is the authentic experience and you really do feel like a pizza chef for a day."
