Perfect way to spend a...
Perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon! We booked this experience last minute, and to be honest, so glad we did not miss this! We had so much fun with the chefs, learning to make different pasta and of course, delicious pizza. Everything turned out delicious !

Excellent pizza & pasta making class
My husband and I participated in this activity while on a cruise that ported in Messina. It was a little tricky getting to the town of Taormina (train + bus ride) but we made it just in time for the start of the class! We were glad we did though because it was a very memorable experience. Good value for the money. Our instructor was very hands on, interactive, and entertaining. We had the opportunity to make both pizza and pasta and we were able to enjoy both of these dishes. The staff provided complimentary red and white wine, cheese, bread, limoncello, and a cannoli at the end of the meal. The staff even catered to another person in the group that had lactose intolerance. They encouraged cleanliness with frequent hand washing during the class which was appreciated. Would definitely recommend this to others!

Great experience in Taormina
I did the pizza making class with my teenage daughters after doing the cannoli class the day before. We all LOVED it. Paulo and the other chef, can’t remember his name, were great teachers and made the class enjoyable and entertaining. We made both pasta and pizza. This was a wonderful way to spend a few hours in Sicily and our meal was the best we had on the whole trip. It felt like getting together with family! Definitely a must do if you enjoy cooking.

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pizza Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taormina.
How much does Pizza Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taormina usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pizza Cooking Class take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taormina is not rushed.
Is Pizza Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 237 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Taormina, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pizza Cooking Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pizza Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pizza Cooking Class?
+
Around 83 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taormina can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taormina and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pizza Cooking Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taormina within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Taormina?
+
On Outty we rank every Taormina experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include COOKING CLASS in Taormina at Chef Massimo HOUSE!!, Sea View Sicilian Cooking Class & Taormina Market with Chef Mimmo, Mount Etna Half-Day Small Group Tour from Taormina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Taormina?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Taormina?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Pizza Cooking Class?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Certificate; Lunch; and Apron. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Pizza Cooking Class?
+
At Restaurant "Porta Messina" Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Pizza Cooking Class offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Pizza Cooking Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Pizza Cooking Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Pizza Cooking Class if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Taormina. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
