What To Expect

Learn how to make two of Italy's most popular and delicious foods during this Florence cooking class.

As you get started with your chef, learn about the history of pizza-making in Italy, and the distinct characteristics between pies from each Italian region. Sample an array of pizza flavors as you go and then throw your own creation in the oven to bake.

Continue with a lesson in dessert, as you receive instruction on crafting traditional Italian gelato. While this sweet treat does share similarities to ice cream found in other countries, it typically has a lower amount of butterfat and a unique freezing process that accounts for its dense, flavorful consistency. As your instructor shows you the secrets of the trade, enjoy plenty of samples to satisfy your sweet tooth.

After your class concludes, take home your insider’s tips from your chef to impress your friends in the kitchen.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The chef, Lisa, was encouraging and patient. Class age ranged from 5- 80 and we all learned something new. Everyone succeeded in making a wonderful 10" (or larger pizza.) then we enjoyed eating it. She also included two of the children in the gelato making demo. They were thrilled and the chocolate geato was amazing. They sent us home with recipes too. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Can't wait to try my hand at making my own pizza

Give Pizza a Chance!

Bradley_R, Oct 2026

Great fun! Lisa was knowledgable, funny, and considerate. We learned a lot about making pizza, especially the dough, and the fine art of gelato. We all ate what each of us made, so she must have been a good teacher! I highly recommend this class!

Wonderful class!

Cristy_B, Sept 2026

My husband and I truly enjoyed this class where we learned how to make pizza dough and how to make a good gelato. Lisa was our enthusiastic instructor leading our class through the steps of both. We each made our owin individual pizza...from making the dough from scratch to shaping it...adding the selection of toppings...baking the pizzas...to enjoying eating our creation. Pizza boxes are available for any uneaten portions. Then we all finish with freshly made delicious gelato! 😋 The three hour class flew by! Great class...great memories! Grazie mille to Lisa...and all the attentive staff who kept everything going smoothly and cleaned up!

An awesome experience!

A fun and useful class

Neza_K, Sept 2026

A very fun class, they teach you all the tricks of making pizza and gelato. Each of us made our own pizza with our own toppings. An articulated chef with lots of knowledge. Loved it!

Great thing for a family to do

Steven_C, Sept 2026

This is a great thing to do for a family. It was a unique experience, and they did a great job of getting the kids involved.. if I had to do all over again, I would do it all over. Lisa was amazing.

Incredibly Fun Pizza & Gelato Class

Shara_S, Sept 2026

This pizza and gelato class was incredibly fun with Towns of Italy. Liza was our group instructor and she was patient, silly, engaging, clear in her instructions, and the sweetest. She also gave us excellent advice on how to identify authentic gelato, along with great restaurant recommendations. From the ingredients to the cooking time to substitutions, she provided plentiful information. I had an amazing time and would love to bring my family next time!

So Much Fun — And I Got to Make the Gelato!

Sarah_B, Sept 2026

We had the BEST time at our pizza and gelato cooking class with Chef Victoria! This was such a fun and memorable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Making our own pizza was so much fun, but my favorite part was getting to help make the gelato! 🍕🍨 I loved being able to actually participate and learn how everything was made. The class was entertaining, hands-on, and perfect for our family. And of course, getting to eat everything we made at the end was the best reward! 😂 Everything was delicious, and we left with full stomachs and some wonderful memories. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone visiting Florence!

Good experience

Diana_P, Sept 2026

Great class and Andrea was super ! Enjoyed by all in our very picky group. Wine was not. Great but drinable

Good pizza eats

Charlotte_P, Sept 2026

Great way to learn how to make pizza and the gelato demonstration was interesting. Although the chef did a good instruction, he spoke really fast with a heavy accent that made it difficult for this English-speaking person to understand.

Pizza fun w Lisa

MaryAnn_E, Sept 2026

Lisa our chef was so fun! I learned some great tips so I can make at home! Lots of laughs and delicious pizza and gelato- We would highly recommend !!

Wonderful pizza and gelator cooking class in Florence

Arun_K, Aug 2026

We had a fantastic time at the pizza and gelato cooking class in Florence! The instructors were wonderful—they kept everyone engaged, made sure we understood the instructions, and were always happy to help us along the way. We came away with a much deeper appreciation for how much skill and effort goes into making truly great fresh pizza. It was a fun, hands-on experience and something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence!

Alessandro was wonderful....

Vonda_M, Aug 2026

Alessandro was wonderful. He shared history about the Trastevere neighborhood and the establishments we visited. The food was AMAZING and his company was too!

Do it!!! You will be happy, trust me.

Mark_L, Aug 2026

What an excellent way to spend 3 hours. Especially during the heat in the summer, this was a welcome stop along our exploring of Florence. Our chef/teacher was Lisa, and she was fantastic. She taught us alot about the process of making both the dough for the pizza and gelato. She was funny, engaging and patient. The pizza was amazing, especially since we made it. We found a new topping as well, pickled onion!!! We didn't actually get to make our own gelato. Lisa picked 2 kids to make and blend the gelato, and they did a fantastic job. She did teach us about proper gelato, and how to spot the difference between good and fake gelato. An absolute game changer for the rest of our trip. If I ever get back to Florence, I would do this class again. Well worth the money and time.

Perfect for all ages
