Discover the delicious legacy of Naples’ most iconic dish through an immersive pizza-focused tour and hands-on cooking class. This experience not only unveils the secret techniques of making authentic Neapolitan pizza but also includes a vibrant cultural journey through a historic neighborhood. Begin the morning in the energetic and colorful Pignasecca Market, one of the oldest and most traditional street markets in Naples. Feel the pulse of local life as you browse colorful fruit stalls, hear merchants shout their daily specials, and breathe in the aromas of freshly baked bread and ripened produce. Here, you’ll indulge in a traditional Neapolitan breakfast—just as locals do—savoring an espresso or creamy cappuccino paired with the city’s signature pastry, the sfogliatella. This delicate treat is made from crispy layers of phyllo pastry filled with sweet, citrus-infused ricotta cheese, a beloved morning ritual.

As you explore the market, your guide will introduce you to regional culinary staples, explaining their cultural significance and origins. These bustling markets aren’t simply places to shop—they’re immersive cultural hubs where traditions, flavors, and stories converge.

After soaking in the market’s ambiance, you’ll head to a renowned historic pizzeria nestled within the UNESCO-listed center of Naples. At this legendary establishment, a seasoned pizzaiolo (also known locally as a pizzaiuol) will take you under their wing for a full pizza-making session. Learn how to knead the dough, spread the San Marzano tomato sauce, add fresh mozzarella, and cook your pizza in a traditional wood-fired oven. As you prepare your masterpiece, you’ll gain deeper insight into the culinary artistry that defines Neapolitan pizza—recently recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.

To conclude your culinary adventure, stroll to the charming Piazza San Gaetano, one of the most atmospheric corners of the historic center. There, you’ll enjoy a tasting of limoncello, the zesty lemon liqueur that hails from nearby Sorrento. It’s the perfect digestif to round off your homemade Italian meal and toast to your flavorful experience in Naples.
