Pizzaria Zero Zero | Garden View

This one is for the pizza lovers out there. Pizzeria Zero Zero’s motto is “the pizzeria that brings Italy to Lisbon”, so you’ll get a little taste of italian cuisine in your mouth - specially Veneto, where most of their ingredients come from. It’s located in Príncipe Real & Parque das Nações & both guarantee incredible views. 

This restaurant’s secret is in their pizza dough that's made artisanally. The dough is fermented for 14 hours and rested for another 48 hours before being used. By allowing it to undergo a slow fermentation process, you’ll be able to have the perfect balance of flavours and texture. In the menu you have your pasta, antipasti, insalate, risotti and, of course, the pizzas -which include a wide range of options: pizze, pizze speciali and calzoni. You definitely should try the Formaggiosa (tomate, mozzarella fiordilatte, gorgonzola, spinach and nuts), along with some wine. You’ll have a wonderful culinary experience!
