About this experience
- Knead, stretch and top your own pizza, then eat it hot from the oven
- Make gelato from scratch and learn why it's denser than ice cream
- A glass of Tuscan wine for adults, soft drinks for children
- Recipes to take home, so you can make both again
What you'll do. A chef shows you how to mix and knead pizza dough, then you stretch and top your own with tomato, mozzarella and seasonal toppings. While the oven heats, you make gelato: a custard base churned slowly so it comes out dense and silky, with a choice of flavours.
Then you eat. Everyone sits down together to eat their own pizza, followed by the gelato you made. Adults get a glass of Tuscan wine; children get soft drinks or water. Tell us about allergies or dietary needs when you book.
Good for families. Children from 4 upwards join in alongside their adults, and the steps are simple enough for small hands. Aprons, ingredients and equipment are provided, and you take the recipes home.
Where. We meet outside the Mercato Centrale, Florence's 19th-century iron-and-glass food market, 5 minutes' walk from Santa Maria Novella station. Your chef walks you to the kitchen from there.
