Festa della Pizza Fritta (Fried Pizza Festival)

The Festa della Pizza Fritta in Castelnuovo Parano is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the Ciociarian summer. On Saturday, August 1st, 2026, the Polivalente Terra Sports Center will transform into a gastronomic showcase where fried pizza reigns supreme, celebrating a culinary tradition deeply rooted in the Lazio region. This specialty, a symbol of the gastronomic identity of Frosinone province, continues to win over the palates of residents and visitors alike with its crispy dough and generous toppings. The evening will begin at 8:00 PM with the opening of food stands, where you can savor different interpretations of fried pizza prepared by the finest local experts. Among the most requested specialties: the classic fried pizza with tomato and mozzarella, the crispy version with pork cracklings, the one filled with ricotta and figs, and innovative offerings with seasonal vegetables and local cheeses. The atmosphere will be further enlivened by live music, accompanying diners throughout the event and creating a festive, engaging atmosphere among the tables and stands. An important innovation of this edition is the introduction of gluten-free fried pizza, prepared with care and dedication to ensure maximum safety for those with intolerances.
