Pizza&Spritz - The Summer Edit

It's time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, our Scuola Chef will guide you through the art of Roman-style Pizza alla Pala - reimagined for summer with seasonal toppings and a welcome Spritz on arrival.

About this Class

From Napoletana to Siciliana to Romana - pizza is an art interpreted in different ways across every region of Italy. In this summer edition, we travel to Rome to discover Pizza alla Pala: an oval flatbread renowned for its crispy outside, soft and fluffy interior, and generous toppings. Our Scuola Chef will guide you through building your own pizza from scratch, topped with the best flavors of the season.

About this Dish

Pizza alla Pala is Rome's answer to the perfect slice - thicker than Neapolitan, crispier than Sicilian, and unmistakably Roman. Named after the wooden pala (paddle) it's served on, this style of pizza is all about the dough: high hydration, slow fermentation, and a bake that delivers a golden crust with a pillowy, airy core.

• Learn about Roman-style pizza and its origins in Lazio

• Build your own Pizza alla Pala from scratch with guidance from our Scuola Chef

• Top your pizza with a selection of summer-inspired seasonal ingredients

• Sip on a welcome Spritz on arrival

• Enjoy a selection of freshly baked Pizza alla Pala paired with a glass of wine
