This masterclass provides a full pizza-making experience from dough preparation to baking and tasting. Upon arrival, guests receive a warm welcome with drinks and music. You will be guided to your workstation, which includes a perfectly fermented dough ball, premium toppings, and all necessary tools.

The session begins with an introduction to the history and science of Neapolitan dough fermentation, hydration, and handling. You will learn professional techniques for stretching the dough, shaping the crust, and preparing the base for toppings.

Under the guidance of Alforno’s pizzaiolos, you will select toppings—either from signature recipes or your own creative combinations—with ingredients like Fior di Latte mozzarella, Italian sauces, vegetables, herbs, and meats. You will then bake your pizza in a 400°C oven, managing the rotation and baking time to achieve the ideal crust and texture.
