Description

Cooking is even more fun when everyone gets involved. This pizza and gelato cooking class for families in Milan gives parents and children the chance to share a real Italian food experience, with plenty of opportunities to mix, knead, taste and create together. Set inside Mercato Centrale Milano, the class is easy to follow, interactive and suitable even for complete beginners.

BUILD YOUR PERFECT PIZZA

Start by learning how simple ingredients are transformed into a proper Italian pizza dough. Your pizzaiolo will show you how to mix, knead and stretch it, sharing useful techniques along the way. Then comes the most creative part: choosing your toppings and making the pizza your own. Children can experiment and have fun with their creations, while adults learn practical tricks that can easily be repeated in the kitchen at home.

DISCOVER WHAT MAKES ITALIAN GELATO SPECIAL

While the dough rises, turn your attention to one of Italy’s most famous sweet treats. Your chef will introduce the ingredients used to make Italian gelato and explain how they are combined to create its distinctive smooth and creamy texture. The preparation is simple to follow and engaging for younger participants, making it an enjoyable way to discover another Italian culinary tradition together.

ENJOY YOUR FAMILY-MADE FEAST

Once the cooking is done, it is time to taste the results. Enjoy the pizza and gelato prepared during the class, with local wine for adults and soft drinks for children. At the end of the experience, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance and a digital recipe booklet, so you can bring the recipes - and a little piece of Milan - back home with you.

A fun and interactive family activity in Milan, perfect for sharing new flavors, learning new skills and creating memories around the table.

Faq

Is a pizza-making class in Milan worth it as a tourist activity?

For visitors spending more than one day in Milan, a pizza and gelato class is a genuinely worthwhile investment. It's a 3-hour hands-on experience that leaves you with real skills, a full meal with wine, and a more personal connection to Italian food culture than any restaurant meal can offer. The location inside Mercato Centrale - right next to Milan Central Station - also makes it one of the most convenient activity bookings in the city.

What should you look for when choosing a pizza-making class in Milan?

The most important factors are the instructor's background (a professional pizzaiolo vs a generic chef makes a significant difference), group size (smaller groups get more hands-on time), what's included in the price, and location. In Milan, a class inside or near Mercato Centrale is ideal, it's central, accessible from the main station, and the market itself is worth exploring before or after.

Is the pizza and gelato class in Milan a good activity for couples?

Yes, it's consistently one of the top-rated couple activities in Milan. The class is hands-on and social, you work together at the same station, and the shared meal at the end feels more intimate and memorable than a restaurant booking. It's a particularly popular choice for couples on a city break who want an experience rather than just another dinner out.

Can you combine a pizza-making class in Milan with a visit to the Duomo or the Last Supper in the same day?

Yes,the class runs for approximately 3 hours, making it easy to combine with a morning visit to the Duomo or an afternoon visit after a morning tour of the Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie. The cooking school is located at Via Giovanni Battista Sammartini 1, inside Mercato Centrale at Piazza IV Novembre, directly adjacent to Milan Central Station.

Is this pizza class suitable for vegetarians or people with dietary restrictions?

Yes the class can accommodate vegetarians, as the pizza toppings can be adapted to avoid meat. However, this class is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or severe gluten intolerance, as the dough is made with wheat flour and the kitchen is not a gluten-free environment. If you have other dietary requirements or allergies, we recommend informing us at the moment of booking.

What is your Cancellation Policy?

Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the tour departure. For cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour start time, as well as in case of no-shows, the full amount will be charged.
