The Story of Neapolitan Pizza and Rudy’s
A proper introduction to the history of Neapolitan pizza and what makes Rudy’s different.
Make Your Dough
Get hands-on and make your own dough from scratch. We’ll walk you through the ingredients, ratios and technique before setting it aside to rest.
Ball Your Dough
Shape your dough into four individual balls, the foundation of every great Neapolitan pizza. You’ll take these home with you at the end.
Watch the Pros
Our pizzaioli will demonstrate a Marinara and a Margherita live in front of you and yes, you get to eat them both.
Have a Go
Time to try it yourself. Everyone gets a go at stretching dough with our pizzaioli right there to guide you.
Make Your Pizza
In groups of up to 5, you’ll each make your own Marinara or Margherita (you can also add mushroom, salami or ‘nduja). Your pizzaiolo will judge every pizza, a bit of fun, a bit of theatre and a lot of pizza.
Q+A
Got questions? Now’s your chance. Our pizzaiolo will answer everything while the certificates are being filled out.
Best Pizza Award + Certificates + Photos
The moment of truth. The best pizza gets crowned, certificates are handed out and photos are taken and we send you off properly. Grazie mille 🍕
