What is our "Home Pizza Experience"?
It's a shared tasting experience!
Imagine an evening with friends, laughter, chatter and above all lots of pizza!
The italian "Giro Pizza" is a sharing format, widespread in Italy during evenings with friends, perfect for those who like to savor several flavors in a single evening.
Instead of choosing one pizza each, all guests share each pizza as it comes out steaming from the oven, one after another, each with different ingredients.
The aim is to try different combinations of ingredients and share the evening, not just the pizza!
The Homemade Pizza Class
Want to learn how to make homemade Italian pizza from A to Z? Join our immersive, Italian Pizza Making Class!
This experience is designed to teach you how to replicate a perfect crispy pizza back in your own kitchen using everyday home tools that you already own!
What we will master together:
🍕 The dough from scratch: understand flour and high hydration to get a perfect, airy crust.
🍕 Kneading for everyone: learn how to knead by hand or using a stand mixer, so you can easily adapt the recipe to your equipment at home.
🍕 The 24-hour fermentation: discover how long fermentation creates incredible flavor and makes a great dough.
🍕 Baking in a domestic oven: you don't need a professional wood-fired oven! Learn the techniques to achieve a crispy crust in a standard home oven.
You'll leave our home not just with a full stomach, but with the confidence and skills to recreate authentic Italian pizza at home.

We are Mauro e Nicoletta,
two Romans in Siracusa
Passionate about cooking and ambassadors of good living, we love churning out pizzas and enjoying the slow Syracusan lifestyle.
Mauro: photographer by day and master pizza maker by night, he prepares his dough with absolute love and method. Speaking fluent English, he will be your main guide and host for the evening.
Nicoletta: the unstoppable mind and the reason we moved to Syracuse. As the daughter of a Syracusan, she fell in love with this city, dropped everything, and relocated her entire life. She is more shy than fluent, but she wants to learn and she loosen up after a few glasses of beer.
Eddie: the dog. He's a good boy! He stays relaxed in his own room during the class and dinner, but he is always available for some sweet after-dinner cuddles if you'd love to meet him!
How it all started
Italy is the homeland of pizza, and every corner tells a unique culinary story. As Romans living in Sicily, we brought our passion for traditional Roman-style pizza with us—celebrated for its thin, crispy crust.
Our journey began during the lockdown, turning our kitchen into a dynamic baking lab. We dedicated months to perfecting a dough that honors our Roman roots. The result? A 24-hour fermented recipe with a perfectly airy, honeycomb structure and an irresistible crunch.
We soon realized that great food is best enjoyed with great company. We loved sharing our table with close friends, but we wanted to expand our horizon. Combining Mauro’s passion for baking with Nicoletta’s deep roots and love for Syracuse, the Home Pizza Experience was officially born.
Today, we open our home to travelers from around the world. We pair our Roman-style dough with the freshest local Sicilian ingredients. It’s not just a cooking class or a dinner—it's an invitation to slow down, share a table, and experience the authentic Italian lifestyle with us.
