Sagra della Pizza Fritta (Fried Pizza Festival)

The Sagra della Pizza Fritta in Pofi is an unmissable opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of Lazio's culinary tradition. From August 6 to 9, the enchanting Piazza Vittorio Emanuele will transform into a festive stage, where fried pizza will be the absolute star. Prepared according to an ancient local recipe passed down through generations, it will be served hot throughout the summer evenings. Every evening, starting from 8:00 PM, guests can taste this iconic dish representing popular tradition while enjoying an atmosphere of conviviality and authenticity. Pofi's traditional recipe uses slowly leavened dough, fried at controlled temperatures and filled with genuine local ingredients ranging from mozzarella and tomato to seasonal vegetables, following the local preparation method that has characterised the community's kitchens for over fifty years. Live musical entertainment, dancing and moments of socialising will accompany the evenings, creating a festive atmosphere designed to engage both residents and visitors from other regions. Community elders, guardians of the original recipe, will be present to share anecdotes and memories linked to this iconic dish. This summer event, carefully organised by the Pro Loco di Pofi, represents the best way to discover the authentic identity of the territory through food—a privileged tool for understanding the cultural roots and values of a community. An experience worth living to savour the genuine flavours that have characterised local cuisine for generations.
