Lievito 72, Artisanal pizzeria in Trani, Italy.
Lievito 72 is an artisanal pizzeria located in the Galleria Affatato in Trani, featuring white walls, minimal decoration, and wooden elements that reference the agricultural heritage of Puglia. The space combines simple aesthetics with nods to the region's rural past.
The founder Andrea Giordano comes from a family of bakers with seven generations of history in Lucera. The restaurant emerged after several relocations within Trani, bringing a long artisanal baking tradition into the city's contemporary pizza culture.
The name refers to the 72-hour fermentation of the dough, reflecting the lengthy craft process at the heart of the operation. The kitchen works with seasonal ingredients from the region and blends traditional Puglian recipes with classic Italian pizza styles.
The establishment opens Tuesday through Friday from 20:00, Saturday from 19:30, and Sunday from 20:00, closing at midnight on all nights. The location within a gallery makes it easy to find while exploring the area's other shops and spaces.
The pizza dough undergoes a precise 72-hour fermentation process using specially milled flour and contains about 30 percent less salt than standard recipes. This careful method makes the dough easier to digest and gives the final product a distinctive flavor texture.
