Family-Friendly Overview

A fun, delicious way to experience Rome, this hands-on cooking class invites young chefs to make Italy’s most beloved duo from scratch—crispy pizza and creamy gelato.

What Kids Will Do

Children will create, roll and stretch their own dough, learn the secrets of good fermentation, and choose favorite toppings before sliding their pizzas into a blazing oven for that signature Roman crunch.
