Private Tour of Naples' Street Food and Pizza Making With Expert Guide

This gastronomic tour focuses on Naples' traditional food, and ends with an interactive, hands-on experience with pizza - the city's most emblematic food. This tour is part walking tour, part hands-on experience with the cuisine of Naples. Begin with a short stroll through the city, touching on a variety of subjects but focusing on the Neapolitan food culture and how its multicultural past has shaped it. You then head to a traditional pizzeria where, under the watchful eye of a trained pizzaiolo, we make our own pie.

Explore the history and traditions of the city, in the context of Neapolitan cooking and culture, and then head to one of the city's famed pizzerie where you will get the chance to create our own pizza- and feast on it for lunch! Begin with a stroll through the dense historical center of Naples, all the while discussing some of the most important culinary traditions of the city, how they were born and how Neapolitan cuisine has evolved throughout the centuries. You will discuss the influence of the Spanish and Norman domination on Neapolitan food, as well as different preparation techniques. As you wind your way through the characteristic neighborhoods of via Toledo and Spaccanapoli, stop at some of the oldest and most traditional cafes and pastry shops.

Depending on the time of the year and your interest, taste traditional Neapolitan snacks and sweets such as taralli, baba' al rhum and sfogliatelle. After this enticing appetizer, visit one of Naples' most traditional pizzerias. Here you will be given the ingredients and tools to make your own pizza Napoletana. A trained pizzaiolo will supervise your work and give you advice for achieving the perfect dough consistency and the right sauce-spreading and mozzarella-sprinkling techniques. Once the pizza is taken from the wood-burning oven, sit down and eat your masterpiece!
