Pizza Making Class

Olivia_M, Apr 2026
Such a fun pizza making experience. It was early season when we went so we were the only two in the class which was really fun for us! We learned the ins and outs of what a good quality dough looks and feels like. It was so fun making our pizzas and getting to eat them. We also got a glass of wine along with meat and cheese. I would highly recommend this experience!

Authentic Italian Experience!

Shannon_M, Feb 2026
This was such an exceptional experience from being picked up in Sorrento to being entertained and educated in the kitchen with the Pizziaolo. We enjoyed a bottle of wine, an appetizer, a pizza each, dessert and limoncello. We also learned a ton from the preparing of the wood-fire oven to the chemistry behind dough making.

Awesome Pizza

Michael_M, Oct 2025
We have been traveling in Italy for 2 weeks, this is the BEST PIZZA we have had and the class was a blast, a lot of fun. Claudio was great! His instruction was easy to follow and he explained the ingredients and why they were important leading to a fantastic pizza. I recommend this experience to anyone looking for a cooking class.

Perfetto

Stephanie_P, Oct 2025
We wanted a cooking class that was fun and quick. We were lucky enough that it was just me and my husband. Our teacher Claudio was funny and very hospitable. We enjoyed the gorgeous views and delicious food. I suggest for a quick excursion on a day that you don’t want to be overly packed.

Wonderful experience.

Brian_E, Oct 2025
Claudio is the best instructor I’ve ever had for a cooking class. He had such a fun personality and made the class 10 times more entertaining. The view from the establishment was also stunning.

Unforgettable moments

John_A, Oct 2025
What a fabulous day, booked at the last minute due to poopy weather and it turned into a great time full of laughter and memories. Claudio was a great host, he taught us how to make pizza from scratch. Couple glasses of wine and shots of limoncello along with eating the pizza we made. Well worth the money, a day we’ll never forget.

The best pizza making class ever !!!

Super Chef Claudio

DioneColeman, Sep 2025
Our cooking class in Sorrento with Claudio was unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, his fun and uplifting personality set the tone for the entire experience. Claudio was so engaging, making sure everyone felt included, and even surprised our group by pulling out some special ingredients that made the class feel extra personalized. The views from the kitchen were absolutely breathtaking—such a perfect backdrop while we cooked and laughed together. And the pizza? Hands down the BEST we had during our entire trip to Italy. Everything about the class felt authentic, joyful, and full of flavor. If you’re in Sorrento and looking for a unique, delicious, and memorable experience, this is a must-do. Grazie, Claudio, for an amazing day!

Amazing Pizza making experience

Linda_B, Sep 2025
Wonderful experience in a beautiful restaurant. Claudio was friendly, entertaining and knowledgable and made us feel at ease immediately. He provided us with aprons which we got to keep, plenty of wine, limoncello and delicious food. We loved our hands on pizza making and enjoyed eating it too. Definitely one of the best cooking experiences and would highly recommend this for all ages. We were picked up and returned to the centre of Sorrento as the restaurant is just outside the city with the most amazing views. We have loads of pictures of our day and met some lovely people who shared our experience. We also purchased some of their home made olive oils to take home with us. An experience not to be missed. Thank you Claudio

Stop Stop Searching – This Is THE Pizza Class in Sorrento

Nick_S, Aug 2025
If you’re in Sorrento, stop searching — this is the pizza class you must book. Hands down, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. From start to finish, everything was perfect: we were picked up in Sorrento and brought to a gorgeous restaurant overlooking the city with a view that takes your breath away. We were greeted by our chef and instructor, Claudio, who is truly one of a kind. His energy, humor, and warmth made the entire event unforgettable. We learned how to make pizza from scratch with the freshest ingredients, which resulted in the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten in my life (and I promise, that’s not an exaggeration). Every step was fun, interactive, and full of laughter. He also made sure to take a bunch of pictures to document our experience, and provided us with the recipe as well as many tips/tricks. I will forever glamorize this tour and these pizzas in my memory. It’s the kind of experience that makes you want to return to Sorrento again and again, just to do it all over. Claudio, thank you for making us feel so special and for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime. 🍕❤️ We’ll see you tonight as we are coming back for dinner in the restaurant!

Claudio, the best

Jacob_R, Aug 2025
We had an absolute great time in our pizza making class. We ended up getting sat on a terrace all to ourselves, overlooking Sorrento and the rest of the bay. It was nice and slow, with an excellent guide to help us navigate making pizzas. He was interactive, fun, told us stories of the area about himself, and it was very intimate for the two of us. We left very, very full, of both pizza and memories, and a good wine. The restaurant in the history surrounding it was given to us on a small tour, that was incredibly enjoyable too. Worth every dime and every moment, it was an unforgettable experience for the two of us.

Best way to round out your Italian experience!

Jessica_J, Jul 2025
This pizza making class rounded out our experience in Italy perfectly! Chef Claudio was informational and entertaining. Our 9 yr old was captivated by making the dough and putting together his own pizza. The restaurant has an amazing view of the water too!

Claudio was amazing, our family loved him and the entire experience! We had a great evening making pizza!

Top Notch!

Jaime_Y, Jun 2025
We had the best time at this pizza making cooking school! We were served appetizers and wine from the start, settled in and relaxed meeting others in our group. Then headed to make our pizzas! Such a fun and informative experience from our chef Claudio! He was so fun and took so many pictures for us so we remembered this great experience. We then ate our pizzas, had dessert, drank more wine and ended with limoncello! You left with many recipes so you can make at home, loved this! Highly recommend this to all when visiting Italy!

This was one of the most...

King Claudio

Amy_Q, Jun 2025
Claudio is a character - and so knowledgeable and patient in his teaching! He made a pizza in the shape of a star, like a crown, se we kept calling him King Claudio! Highly recommend this experience. The driver, Ferdinando and all were so nice. The view was amazing, the wine was flowing, and our pizzas we made were the best we ever had!

Amazing pizza making class !

Laura_A, Jun 2025
My best friend and I were there for the pizza making class, it was fun an amazing! We chose this place because you could choose when you want to start. There was no fixed start time. After changing out start time twice on the same day because of our first activity in Pompeii being delayed, we finally arrived in Sorrento where Claudio and his friend picked us up to go to the restaurant. We got appetizers, wine, dessert, limoncello on top of everything. Pizza making was fun (I can’t upload videos here unfortunately). I totally recommend, just do it ! The whole experience was great and the whole staff was so friendly. The location is breathtaking as well.

Tons of fun, food, wine & laughs!

Kimberly_D, May 2025
This was a perfect way to spend a half day! Convenient transport to a beautiful location, where we were warmly welcomed and treated almost immediately to fabulous wine, bread and meats/cheese. The class was entertaining and fun, and we made the most delicious pizza!

Fun Pizza making with a beautiful View!

Denise_A, May 2025
We ended up having a private lesson as there were no other bookings for our time slot! Fernando picked us up at our hotel and transported us to a lovely restaurant. We met Claudio who was our instructor. He was friendly and funny! We had some tastings of olive oil and glasses of wine. The he taught us the tricks to making excellent pizza! We made our delicious pizzas and then after eating them we were served a delicious dessert! The view was beautiful!! You may have to contact Viator to set up the time as time slots were not shown on booking screen. We had a lot of fun getting to know Claudio and Fernando!

A must do!

Amy_H, May 2025
Claudio was very knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about pizza and good food! We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and of course the pizza really was the best we've ever had! The restaurant itself is stunning, and the views outside looking down into Sorrento are beautiful. We had wine, nibbles, pizza, tiramisu and limoncello! We left feeling very full, very happy, and only a little bit tipsy. If you're looking for an authentic, fun and educational pizza making class, look no further - this is the one to do!!

Absolutely the best, lightest, tastiest pizza class by a masterful pizza craftsman

Rich_E, May 2025
I’ve taken many cooking classes over the years and this one hit all the right marks. A fantastic experience that I will never forget. The secret to making THE BEST pizza was explained in detail and it’s very simple. Claudio was incredible, funny and knowledgeable. This was the highlight of our 16 day Italy trip. Just book this pizza making class and make the lightest, tastiest pizza for the rest of your life.

This was an amazing...

Donald_P, May 2025
This was an amazing experience!! The venue was incredible and the views unbelievable! Our instructor, Claudio, was so much fun and the food was fantastic! We would highly recommend this adventure!!

Fantastic pizza school experience!

Kristen_L, Mar 2025
Fantastic experience start to finish! We were trying to find something to make the best of a rainy day, and ended up making one of our favorite memories of our trip. The pizza class is held in a restaurant high up in the hills above Sorrento, with beautiful views from the widows and terrace. (They sent a shuttle to pick us up in town, so no need to find transpiration there.) Claudio (our pizza chef) was so much fun, and a wonderful teacher! My entire family, including two teenagers, thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and the pizzas were made were fantastic!

Great family experience!

Deirdre_T, Nov 2024
Everything about this experience was five stars— the pick-up, the venue (amazing views), the Prosecco, the olive oil and vinegar tastings, making the pizza and, of course, eating! My three boys and I did this as a lunch excursion and it was a highlight.

If I could I would give 100 stars

Abdiel_M, Nov 2024
Is there a way to give more stars? Claudio was amazing very great personality loved every minute of the class. Started in an amazing upbeat fashion smiling and being kind. Made the most amazing pizza and had an absolutely delicious dessert. I would do it again if I come back to Italy. Loved the experience.

Five star experience.

Mark_T, Oct 2024
Meeting was easy. There is parking on site. Claudio was fantastic. Humerous and informative, he guided us through our lesson. He effortlessly accommodated two in our group with limitations. Even after the lesson was over, he caught up with us on a motorcycle to return a forgotten item to one of our party. Grazie, Claudio!
