Your experience
For this special cookery class, I’ll welcome you into my home in Catania to teach you the art of making pizza. Together, we’ll knead a high-hydration pan pizza using a simple technique that anyone can master, with no need for special equipment. I’ll guide you step by step, revealing the secrets to making a soft, fragrant dough at home that will impress your friends and family. You’ll discover how just a few ingredients — water, flour and yeast — can produce a surprising result, all in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Note on accessibility: the experience takes place in a fifth-floor attic, accessible via a final flight of stairs.

- What a fantastic cooking workshop with Massimiliano! From the very start, communication was smooth, and we received a super warm welcome. Massimiliano’s passion for cooking is truly contagious. He takes his time to teach you the right techniques in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The best part was enjoying our own homemade pasta and delicious tiramisu. A wonderful evening with an absolute superhost!
- This was the perfect way to end my Italy/Catania trip! 🇮🇹 Massimiliano was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. He did an amazing job keeping our group engaged, comfortable, and excited throughout the entire experience. From the moment we walked through the door to rolling the pasta and learning the proper techniques, everything felt authentic, fun, and personal. I truly felt like I was spending time with family rather than simply attending a cooking class. The food was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was the perfect finishing touch! Overall, this was such a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Catania. Massimiliano, thank you for opening your home to us and sharing your passion, your knowledge, and your hospitality. You made the experience truly special! ❤️🍝

Cesarina from 2025Location: Catania (CT) Languages: Italian and EnglishPassionate about cooking, I started my journey with desserts, but after attending courses on Roman-style sheet pan pizza and Neapolitan pizza, my passion truly settled in this area. Sheet pan pizza has a great advantage: it allows even non-professionals to achieve excellent results using simple household equipment. No need for mixers or professional tools—thanks to the "no knead" technique, you can make high-quality dough by following a few essential rules. One of the most important aspects is understanding the difference between dough maturation and leavening. These two steps are often confused, but it’s proper maturation that ensures a light, digestible dough with great flavor.
