Pizza is undoubtedly one of the iconic dishes not only of Italy but also of the Mediterranean diet. In recent years, consumer attention to healthy and balanced eating has grown exponentially, and the food & health combination has become increasingly strategic for daily well-being. This course aims to impart techniques and knowledge to create pizzas that can meet a growing market demand for diet-conscious, nutritionally aware, and sport-friendly options. Protein-rich doughs, fiber-rich organic flours, or flours with a high seed content will serve as the ideal base for pizzas that respect ingredient seasonality with a focus on sustainability—nutritional, environmental, and organoleptic. The course will cover various types of next-generation flours, different kneading techniques, the use of sourdough, and creating recipes with vegetables in various textures to enrich the pizza offerings for a nutritionally balanced and quality-focused audience.
The Pizza & Health course is aimed at professionals who are mindful of nutrition and the balance between food and well-being. It is for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of using fibers in doughs, lowering the glycemic index, and reducing salt and fat for a balanced, healthy, and tasty product.

Pizza Gourmet Courses
For a little over a decade, gourmet pizza has not only become a market trend but also represents the challenging marriage between cuisine and pizzeria; two worlds that are close yet sometimes distant in technique, management, and, to some extent, media success. The idea of bringing pizza closer to haute cuisine has allowed the creation of a new style or simply shone a spotlight on the quality of the dough and especially on the quality of the ingredients, whether fresh or cooked, used in pizzerias.
The course will delve into the gourmet phenomenon, starting with doughs made from next-generation flours for pizza styles that enhance high-quality ingredients. This will be followed by a focus on the selection of ingredients: fresh, seasonal, or preserved, with their respective pairings. The connection with the kitchen will be managed by some chefs who will prepare various recipes to help participants learn cooking and food preservation techniques for replicating their gourmet pizzas.
The Gourmet Pizza course is aimed at professionals who want to explore the combination of cuisine and pizzeria to experiment with new flavor pairings through pizza styles suitable for incorporating high-value gastronomic ingredients or preparations.
