Overview

Making authentic Neapolitan pizza is far more satisfying than arguing over which toppings to order. In this interactive cooking class with Chef Ben, you'll discover how a handful of simple ingredients can become an incredible homemade pizza using traditional Italian techniques. Chef Ben's friendly teaching style makes the process fun whether you've never made dough before or you're ready to perfect your pizza game. You'll learn how to prepare, knead and stretch fresh pizza dough by hand before building a classic Neapolitan-style pizza with carefully selected toppings. Along the way, Chef Ben shares professional tips on dough texture, shaping techniques and baking methods that create the signature light crust with beautifully blistered edges. Every step is hands-on, approachable and designed to give you the confidence to recreate authentic pizza from scratch whenever the craving strikes.

Itinerary

Pizza night hits differently when you're stretching the dough yourself instead of waiting for delivery. In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Ben, you'll learn the time-honored techniques behind authentic Neapolitan-style pizza in a relaxed, beginner-friendly setting. With a background in nutrition, food science and recipe development, Chef Ben makes every step approachable while sharing the secrets behind a truly great pizza. You'll begin by mixing and kneading traditional pizza dough before learning how to hand-stretch it into the signature thin, airy crust Neapolitan pizza is known for. Then, you'll top your creation with classic Italian ingredients, balancing fresh flavors and simple techniques that let every ingredient shine. As your pizza bakes to golden perfection, Chef Ben shares practical tips for achieving a crisp crust, bubbly edges and restaurant-quality results at home. By the end of class, you'll be enjoying a handcrafted pizza that's fresh from the oven and wondering why frozen pizza ever seemed like a good idea.
