Gigi will welcome you to one of Putignano's most historic restaurants, located in the heart of the town's historic center. This charming establishment was once a wine cellar where wine was made, transformed into a tavern back in the 1980s, and since 2021 has become the home of Gigi's pizzeria. Partially carved into the rock and featuring magnificent stone barrel vaults, the restaurant exudes a unique and evocative atmosphere.
An Introduction to the Art of Pizza
At the beginning of the pizza lesson, Gigi will tell you about the evolution of his journey as a pizza maker. He will show you the top-quality ingredients he uses for both the doughs and the toppings of his gourmet pizzas, which are famous regionally for their creative combinations. Gigi will explain the dough maturation process, an essential step in achieving a light and digestible pizza.
Preparing and Baking Your Pizza
Getting to the heart of the pizza experience, Gigi will guide you through the preparation of your pizza. You will start with preparing the dough and sealing the balls to make the pizzas. Using dough that has already matured for more than 48 hours, you will learn how to roll out and stuff your pizza with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It will then be time to bake your gourmet pizza with a shovel, like a real pizza maker, and wait for it to bake in the wood-fired oven.
Tasting and Conviviality
The experience will conclude with a tasting of the pizzas prepared by the participants. Sitting around a table, you will accompany the tasting with a cool drink, having time to chat with Gigi to ask him all the questions you want and learn more about his story as a creative pizza maker.
Come to Putignano for a unique culinary experience, learn the secrets of real Italian pizza and enjoy your creations in a historic and fascinating setting. Gigi is waiting to share his passion and mastery of the art of pizza with you.
