Tour description

Discover the secrets of pizza with an expert pizzaiolo to lead the way.

Take your pizza obsession to the next level in this Rome pizza making class led by a professional Italian chef. You'll craft the perfect pizza in our very own state-of-the-art cooking space in Trastevere complete with all the comforts of a traditional Italian kitchen. As you knead and stretch the dough, sprinkle on your favorite toppings, and so much more, you’ll discover a side of this beloved dish that most visitors to Rome never get to experience.

Enjoy a classic Italian aperitif to begin your Rome pizza making class in style.

Your experience begins in a lively piazza in Trastevere, where you’ll meet your chef-instructor and small group. Enjoy a short stroll through the vibrant neighborhood to our exclusive private cooking space, which beautifully blends contemporary comforts with the charm of a traditional Italian kitchen.

Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a welcome aperitif of bruschetta paired with a spritz. Your instructor will start your Rome pizza making class by walking you through the time-honored craft of pizza dough: how to hydrate it, what type of flour to use, and more.

Get a crash course in all things dough, toppings, and gelato.

With the basics of dough now under your belt, it's time to grab an apron and dive in! Working with one or two other aspiring pizza chefs, you’ll begin crafting your dough from scratch.

But the fun doesn’t just stop at pizza. Leaving the dough to start rising, you’ll take a break from the cooking for a few minutes to watch your instructor prepare homemade gelato from scratch. Craving Italy’s most beloved sweet treat already? No worries—you’ll enjoy it later after your pizza for dessert.

In the meantime, you’ll get back to the pizza. Your chef will show you how to stretch the dough, add the sauce, and sprinkle on your favorite toppings. Then all that’s left to do is pop it in the oven, and dinner is served!

Sit down and enjoy a homemade Italian meal with new friends.

Wrap up your Rome pizza making class in the style of all great evenings in Italy: gathered around a table with great food, wine, and company. Enjoy your homemade pizza and cap it all off with the gelato your chef prepared earlier for the perfect Italian dessert.

By the time you part ways, you’ll have taken your love of pizza to the next level by creating it for yourself. Not every visitor to Italy will get to experience the nation’s beloved cuisine in such a hands-on way, but you’ll have done so while making memories that will last for years to come.

Our pizza making class was great! Federica was an excellent teacher and it was so awesome to learn from her. The kitchen was also wonderful (it was nice to have a break from the summer heat too). We would have loved to take more classes but didn't have the time. We didn't ever receive the recipe by email - so it would be awesome if she could still send it to us.

I had already joined a tour with Walks and I have to say that it is always a pleasure! The local food tour gave me the chance to discover very iconic places of the eternal city as well as taste the best food in the historical centre. Our guide Chiara was great and making this experience unforgettable. I am looking forward to book another tour with this company!

I have never had a pizza making tour so far but with this tour of Walks Devour I finally managed to lear secrets of pizza and I was very good! I enjoyed everything from the Prosecco to the steps of making what is the best food of all for me!

We were a group of 13, ranging from 13-77. Everyone thought the experience was fantastic. Creating the pizza dough was fun, being able to design our individual toppings was perfect so we each enjoyed our final version. The guides/chefs were lovely. We would highly recommend this as a wonderful group or family activity.
