The "Tasting Workshops" series arrives right in the heart of one of Iași's most appreciated pizzerias: Pizza Di Napo, known for its slow-fermented dough, carefully selected ingredients, and authentic Neapolitan experience.
Event Concept
This workshop is designed as an immersive experience, where participants discover step by step what an authentic Neapolitan pizza means, from dough and fermentation to topping combinations and wood-fired baking. The host of the evening will be Vlad Holicov, pizzaiolo and owner of Pizza Di Napo, known for his beautiful obsession with dough, 72-hour fermentations, and attention to every detail in the working process.
What will happen at the workshop
- Guided tasting of several types of pizza, with explanations about the dough, toppings, and wood-fired baking.
- Live demonstrations on how to knead, portion, and stretch pizza dough, with an emphasis on long fermentation and its impact on texture and digestibility.
- Open dialogue with Vlad and the hosts about ingredients, types of flour, the role of olive oil, the difference between cold dough and slow-fermented dough, and what a memorable pizza means for each guest.
- Relaxed, social atmosphere where participants can ask questions, share their own experiences, and enjoy an evening dedicated to authentic pizza, taste, and community.
Format and target audience
The workshop lasts approximately 2 hours and maintains the interactive spirit of the "Tasting Workshops" series: participants are not mere spectators, but co-creators of the experience, involved in both tasting and the practical part. The event is especially aimed at a curious young audience looking for authentic gastronomic experiences, behind-the-scenes stories, and the opportunity to learn directly from people who live their profession with passion.
Why this event is relevant
The pizza workshop at Di Napo continues the mission of the "Tasting Workshops" series to highlight professionals from the world of enogastronomy and to build bridges between the Iași public, producers, and taste creators. In a city where the gastronomic scene is rapidly developing, such an event creates the ideal context for education, dialogue, and the discovery of an apparently familiar product – pizza – from a deep, technical, and emotional perspective.
For Vlad Holicov, pizza dough is a continuous research and a way to leverage his miller roots, transforming flour, water, and time into memorable experiences for an entire community. For participants, the workshop will be an opportunity to see from the inside how this experience is built and to taste the result of work done with joy, passion, and perseverance.
The hosts of the event will be:
🍷 Vali Tătar – @The.Winefather, sommelier, educator, and creator of the „Tasting Workshops" series, with experience in culinary pairings and enogastronomic presentations
✨ Radana from @iași.mănâncă, the community founder, who for many years has highlighted the gastronomic stories of the city and the people behind the dishes
All in a relaxed atmosphere, with stories, simple explanations, and time for questions.
