Located in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana invites groups looking for an engaging culinary experience to their Friends & Family Pizza School. This 90-minute immersive pizza-making workshop breaks away from the typical outdoor adventure by blending hands-on cooking with rich Italian flavors in a lively setting. Perfect for groups of six to ten, this experience fosters connection through creativity and food, ideal after a day of hiking or cycling around Austin’s scenic trails.
Set at 8000 Burnet Rd, this class puts the spotlight on crafting authentic, scratch-made pizzas using traditional Neapolitan techniques passed down through generations. Participants start by preparing their own dough, then move through assembling their pizzas with fresh, savory toppings, culminating in a sweet finale featuring a Nutella-stuffed dessert pizza. Alongside the pizza-making, the experience includes fresh Italian salads and house-made meatballs, accompanied by an assortment of soft drinks, with options to enhance the meal with Italian beers and wines.
