Got back from a trip to Naples and their pizza dough method stuck with me

They let the dough ferment for days in a cool cellar, which gave it a flavor I've never tasted before. How long do you usually ferment your dough for that kind of depth?

The cellar temp in Naples is usually around 55°F... how do you control the environment for a multi-day ferment at home?

My old kitchen fridge ran too cold until I tried a 72 hour ferment like Ray mentioned. The difference in flavor actually shocked me.

Read @ray_martinez82's post and 72 hours seems like overkill. I mean, maybe it's just me but I've had good pizza without all that wait. Does it really make that big a difference?

Used my fridge for 72 hours, worked great.
