Why 48h?
If you want to eat a real pizza, make sure the dough has been leavened for at least 48 hours! For us, 48 hours is the minimum time required for the dough to rise. A dough that has been leavened for 48 hours with natural yeast will make your pizza light, fragrant and aromatic..
just like in Italy.
Natural yeast has been used for generations in italy.
In fact, back in the day, only one person in the village would have natural yeast and they would use it to barter goods with. Bread was made once a week, and in some villages, just once a month, so natural yeast had to be bartered with or families would go without their breadโฆ a sacrilegious thought to any food-respecting Italian.
At 48h, we want to respect and maintain these traditions and introduce you to true Italian flavours, remastered for todayโs refined palates.

What Clients Say
Melbourneโs very first and only pizza and gnocchi bar, we opened our South Yarra restaurant in 2015. Following its success and warm welcome from the local community we opened our Elsternwick restaurant in 2017.
Fresh produce, authentic flavours, and the best of Italian culture and hospitality are at the heart of all that we do here at 48h.
We serve locations around South Yarra, including Burnley, Cremorne, Richmond, Toorak, Malvern, Glen Iris, Prahran, and South and East Melbourne.
Why 48h? This is the perfect amount of time we need to leaven our dough to bring diners light, fragrant and aromatic pizzas, just like you would expect in Italy!
Buon Appetito
