About Pizza 72

Pizza 72 proves its wood-fired dough for 72 hours, yielding a light, blistering crust that never leaves you feeling bloated. Heathmont regulars drop in for genuine Italian craft without the heavy shopping-strip grease—a crisp, airy bite layered with DOP-standard ingredients. Even dietary substitutions skip the frozen shortcut, turning out scratch-made gluten-free crusts alongside signatures like the Capricciosa, Calabria, and white cheese with honey.

  • 72-Hour Fermented Dough: A 72-hour dough proving cycle creates an airy, light crust baked hot in the wood oven.
  • House-Made Gluten-Free Bases: Gluten-free pizza crusts are made entirely in-house from scratch rather than outsourced.
  • Cosy Local Setting: An intimate dining room seating around 18 guests offers a relaxed setting alongside a bustling takeaway counter.

Discover why Heathmont locals choose Pizza 72 for authentic woodfired pizza, dietary care, and welcoming neighbourhood dining.

  • 72-Hour Proved Artisan Crust

    Dough is proven over 72 hours to produce a light, crispy base with authentic woodfired character and premium toppings.

    A lighter crispier base on the pizzas is the result of the 72 hours that they prove the dough for the pizzas.

  • In-House Made Gluten-Free Bases

    Unlike standard pizzerias that rely on frozen outsourced shells, bases for gluten-sensitive guests are prepared directly in-house.

    The gluten free bases are made in-house and are soooo good.

  • Cosy Local Dine-In Space

    The intimate dining room provides attentive hospitality and warm service suitable for small gatherings and family dinners.

    It’s very cosy inside but does Seat about 18 people inside but they do a huge amount of takeaway pizzas.

  • Casual Weeknight Group Gatherings

    With a curated beer and wine selection and seating for small groups, the dining room comfortably hosts friendly group nights out.

    12 adults we basically filled the joint. Fantastic pizza, well made and the great base cooked perfectly in the wood oven. Staff are so nice and the simple wine and beer list is spot on.

  • DOP

    We’ve had the DOP three times in the past five days - we may have developed an addiction.
