Description

Half-Day Experience – Handcrafted Pizza Cooking Class in a Cozy Village Duration: 3.5 – 4 hours (morning or afternoon) Location: A small, charming village just outside of Sapa – not in the busy town center. Includes: Round-trip transfer, guided cooking session, and a shared meal. Discover the joy of Italian cuisine in the heart of northern Vietnam with this unique cooking experience. Leave the busy streets of Sapa behind and travel to a small, charming village where a warm welcome awaits you. Start your workshop by learning the story of pizza and the secrets to making the perfect dough. With the guidance of a local chef, you’ll knead, shape, and prepare your own pizza base by hand. Choose from a variety of fresh toppings, including homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella, vegetables, and local ingredients, before sliding your creation into a traditional oven. In addition to pizza, you’ll also prepare a refreshing papaya salad – a light and healthy dish that perfectly complements your handmade pizza. This extra touch gives you the chance to explore more flavors and enjoy a balanced meal. Once your pizza and salad are ready, sit down in a cozy village home to share a meal with your group. Pair your hot, freshly baked pizza with the fresh papaya salad and a drink, while enjoying the relaxed village atmosphere.
