Pizzeria 72 Ore
Pizzeria 72 Ore is a pizzeria in Rome known for its extended dough fermentation process. The casual, welcoming space offers both classic and creative pizza options, along with fried appetizers such as zucchini flowers and battered cod.
The long fermentation concept was inspired by traditional recipes from Italian countryside farms. The pizzeria adopted this artisanal approach and built its reputation around this foundation.
The name '72 Ore' reflects the dough fermentation time that defines this place's approach. It attracts both locals and visitors seeking straightforward, genuine pizza without pretense or elaborate presentation.
The pizzeria opens only in the evening, starting around 8 PM, and it is best to call ahead for a table reservation. Both locations in Rome have parking available and are easily accessible by public transportation.
The name refers to a fermentation time of exactly three days, an unusually long period that makes the dough easier to digest and adds subtle flavor layers. Visitors often notice how light the pizza feels despite being hearty.
