- gspeed06890 contributionsGreat class, delicious recipesI took the Pasta class with my mom and we really enjoyed the class. The class invite says 12:30 to 14:00, however we went a little long to 15:00. The teacher is great at explaining the steps, excellent English, and they have everything prepared for you.Written November 11, 2023
- carstenpudenz0 contributionsGreat fun experience - we learned a lot!Excellent event to learn how to make pizza. My kids loved it. The class was well organized. All ingredients were prepared ready to be used. The key information was simmarized in a handout we received at the end. So during the session, we were able to focus on the fun part. What I liked best: all plates use simple ingredients available anywhere in Europe. So what you learn here also works at home!Written July 23, 2023
- FairyBlore0 contributionsAmazing experienceWow! This was was a fabulous experience which I did with my partner and mother in law. We got to make 3 types of pizza (got given the recipes after, which we will definitely do at home)in an air con room with an experience chef who knew exactly what he was doing, checked on everyone and chatted happily. Make sure your hungry when you go so you can eat everything. As soon as we arrived we were given water and throughout the two hours had water too. I cannot fault this experience and would recommend everyone to do it. The pasta making course and evening course I would have loved to do as well but we only had three days. They even phoned a taxi for us for when we were finished. The pizza was the. Eat we ate in our twelve days in Italy.Written July 22, 2023

- deborahlC2367UD0 contributionsHuge Learning CurveI'm a professional chef from England, so wanted to learn how master a good Naples pizza base. I learn what type of flour and water was suitable, about leaving the dough to ferment to develop the sugars, giving the hallmark giraffe marking and charring. How to cook in a domestic environment. I was very satisfied with the class and found the staff to be very friendly.Written April 18, 2023
- korinblumi0 contributionsDon't enter this place!!Ran away from there before half of the lesson finished, extremly disappointed, I've booked for lesson with translator, the chef was not nice at all, the translator didn't finish to talk he already started to explain and talk while she talked, he didn't wait, he talked for 15 minuets than let the translator to talk for like 3 minutes I asked her why she explain so short she said it's a summary, but it was clear that important information was missed it's clear that our exprience was not the same as the other italian speakers will defenetly not recommend to an non italian speakers to take courses in this academy!!! not professional!! very rude people!!!! also they used a canned cooked tomato sauce, aren't we in cooking lesson?Written November 9, 2022
- Y7709ZLmattheww0 contributionsWonderful and usefulWe had a lovely time here! Luigi was very patient and informative, he checked all of our pizzas as we were making them and the recipes were ones we could make at home. Really clear and easy, and it was delicious to eat the pizzas as we go. It took 2 hours in all with some coffee afterwards.Written October 12, 2022
- rakb940 contributionsGreat experienceHad a great time in this class. Small class size was superb and kitchen facilities were good. Chef Luigi was friendly, fun, helpful, patient, informative and spoke great English. Learnt how to make the dough and then made two types of pizzas, both really tasty and realistically possible to recreate at home which was the point of the class. Really enjoyed it. Thank you Toffini Academy and Chef Luigi!Written August 24, 2022
- Barbara R0 contributionsThat's a pizzaExcellent class, very professional, immaculate facilities, and within two hours the take away gives you plenty of knowledge and confidence to make your own pizzas at home. Chef Luigi was great as was the rest of the staff. I highly recommend class no matter what your cooking level or experience.Written July 26, 2022
- willp5250 contributionsAmazing experience - highlight of the holidayWe ended up having a private class with Luigi and it was amazing! So much fun and some of the best pizza we had on holiday. Luigi was great at explaining the process and the history. The first pizza we made was one of the best I’d ever had and the tomato sauce was amazing. We really enjoyed the fried pizzas too! It was one of the highlights of our holiday! Would recommend to all! Now just need to recreate the pizzas at home!Written July 22, 2022
- davidnG1482SG0 contributionsHow to cook pizza in a pan May 2022Great class!! My husband loves pizza and was ecstatic to learn how to cook pizza in a pan. We also learned to how make calzone and small bit sized pizza called montanara. We were each assigned a spot around the kitchen counter for the hands-on class. Luigi, our instructor, was entertaining yet gave us excellent instructions as we listened, observed and followed his instructions. We sampled the delicious food we cooked. There were six students and all agreed the food was molto buono. Highly recommend this cooking class to learn how to make/cook pizza the Napolitan way without wood burning over. Class was FUN!Written May 14, 2022
- antonyO5126YD0 contributionsNo goodI booked a pizza class for my husband and I in July. we paid an excessive price. the lesson was with more people than we thought. we couldn't hear everything the teacher was saying. we had bad communication before class, asking for details that we were not given. We thought we could enjoy more information about the dough, the tomato, the yeast. unfortunately for the money we spent we were totally disappointedWritten December 4, 2021

We reviewed lots of pizza making places and found this absolute gem! It is easy to find and relatively central to Naples. Greeted and introduced to the history of pizza by Alberto, it was fun and interesting. Then we went into the class with Luigi. Really good class where Luigi had lots of enthusiasm and love for all things Italian! He showed us how to make 3 different kinds of pizza, all of which we could do at home, no pizza oven needed! All members of the class had an individual cooking station and it taught you authentic Italian cooking. Really enjoyed it and we were absolutely stuffed - so much food!! And you can buy some lovely accompanying wine at very good price!! Definitely recommend to any tourist. Thankyou ☺️

Lovely welcoming team, we left very full with lots of ideas to try at home! They taught how to cook the pizza without a pizza oven which was an added bonus of being able to replicate the results!

My daughter and I took this pizza class from Luigi and Alberto. The cooking area was spotless,efficient and organized. The instructions were clear and they watched over us and provided personal attention when needed. We made a pizza margherita, fried pizza and calzone which were all delicious. It was a relaxed and fun atmosphere to spend a few hours in Naples. Can't wait to try the pizza techniques at home!

I went to this class alone and came out with new friends! Aside from learning how to make pizza, you will learn the history and found new friends at the same time! Alberto and chef Luigi were very nice and friendly that made the whole class very entertaining and fun. I believed that when you want to learn something, learn it from the best and with fun. And in Toffini you have it all❤️ It was great! I would love to come back in the future! I am so thankful for this experienced and can’t wait to make pizza myself🍕❤️❤️

Went with my boyfriend and there was only one other guy in the class which made it feel like a private class. Our instructor (I feel terrible for not remembering his name but he's pictured below) was very passionate and super fun to learn from which made the class an overall great experience! I thought we were going to just make pizza but we also made fried calzones (dangerously good) and this other fried food with sauce and cheese (pictured below) that I cant remember the name of but it was soooo good! Also, we got to eat a ton of delicious buffalo mozzarella while cooking :) SO YUMMMMMY! I highly recommend this class! We had to leave for the airport immediately after class so our instructor made us an espresso while he called us a cab. Can't get any better than that!
Thanks for such a great experience!

WOW to be named Best Pizza and Best Class EVER is a huge honour!!!
Ahahah Thank you Jaclyn, Alberto is my name and the picture is nice, I understood I'm eating too much pizza with you all! Don't worry it happens while travelling to not remember my name, but I thank you so much for doing this great review! Also you forgot the Montanara Pizza name that was the one in the picture. Anyway I'm sending the pictures with all the recipes, the names, ingredients and step by step process.
My regards to Joshua, I hope all the best for you guys!

I’d highly recommend this place for a visit. Luigi was skilled and a good teacher and made the class a lot of fun.
I was impressed by the food that we all cooked so simple great flavour and delicious.
A minor issue with a double booking caused by myself was brought to my attention and quickly sorted out with Viator over a WhatsApp chat session.

Great class with lots of tips to enable you to make pizza easily at home. The calzone was also very tasty! Good for kids (mine is 8)— they’ll learn what they need to make dinner for the family (no joke!)

Alberto, in a separate question you mentioned that you can do lactose free pizza. My travel companion is allergic to dairy but is only concerned about cheese. When you do a vegan style pizza, do you use dairy-free cheese, or do you do it without cheese?

I am strictly vegeterian. is there any meat in the pizzas we'd prepare and if so, would much be lost from the experience if that was excluded for the pie I personally make?
Written November 4, 2019
Hello Ryan, we offer vegetarian and vegan options as long as lactose free ones.
We use salami in the fried pizza but you don't loose anything because it is great also with vegetables, or ricotta cheese only.
The class in general is focused on the techniques to prepare the dough and how to cook it at home and the pizza is the ideal meal to customize, that's why it became the most popular in the last 100 years all over the world! So don't worry, book your space you will enjoy, that's a promise!

Can you accommodate a celiac? Are gluten free options available?
Thank you.
Written October 25, 2019
Dear friend, unfortunately not in the same class. We should use a different kitchen but if we have a group of minimum 6 people that work all together on the gluten free pizza we can organize a private class.
We can also propose classes of Neapolitan Ragù, Seafood, Risotto, anything regarding the italian cuisine where to find gliten free options is easier without compromising high quality and enetrtainment because we are a cooking school and we have Chefs for any kind of food.
Thank you fir contacting us!

I am interested in your pizza making class in Naples for 5 people but I have a few questions:
- Where, exactly, is the class? What is the address? We have a car and just want to go directly there so I need the exact address.
- Is the class available on Tuesday, 8 October, for dinner in the evening?
- Do we prepare the pizzas completely from scratch, including the dough and sauce? Or do you make some of it in advance?
Thanks,
Michael Hartstein
Written October 5, 2019
Dear Michael, sorry for the late reply some questions are not notified to us by some email problem.
The address is Via G. Martucci 35 c/d/e/f and at the letter 35g there is a private parking.
Yes in our class we prepare together the dough from the scretch, we learn the right consistency and prepare the ball, but it will take few hour to raise, if you want you can take it with you, and we practice and work on a dough that has already risen in the night, because our pizza recipe use very few yeast like in all the area here. There are a lot of things to learn you will not want to wait the dough rising. You just jump waiting time but all the rest of the process is made by all of you from the scretch. You will never find something with express rising in Napoli, the massive use of yeast is not allowed by religion here! :-D
