Spritz Making and Pizza Cooking Class in Rome City Center
Craft your own Spritz, roll your own dough, and dine at one of Rome's most atmospheric jazz venues.
This pizza cooking class in Rome takes place at Jazz Cafe Roma, a storied venue just steps from Piazza Navona, blending hands-on culinary instruction with the warm pulse of live jazz culture. Participants mix their own Aperol or Campari Spritz before rolling dough and selecting toppings under the guidance of a trained Italian chef. The session closes with a shared meal, water, and a complimentary coffee or limoncello.
Jazz Cafe Roma has been hosting pizza-making sessions for eight years, and the format is deliberately kept intimate, with no more than ten guests per class. That small scale means the chef can give real, individual attention to each participant, whether they are shaping their first crust or experimenting with topping combinations.
The venue sits in the historic centre of Rome, making it easy to fold the class into a broader day of sightseeing around Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, or Campo de Fiori. Evening participants can linger after dinner to enjoy the live jazz programme that has made the cafe a local favourite.
Highlights
Mix your own Aperol or Campari Spritz at the start of the session and sip it while you cook.

Intimate group of up to ten guests ensures personal guidance and a relaxed social atmosphere.

Sit down to eat the pizza you baked, served with water, your Spritz, and a coffee or limoncello to finish.
Learn the history of Italian pizza alongside practical technique, from dough hydration to topping selection.
