Specialising in crispy Italian Roman-style pizzas, 170 Grammi is putting a modern spin on traditional favourites. Their carbonara pizza is a prime example, featuring a white base topped with Pecorino Romano, guanciale, free-range egg yolk, and black pepper. It’s a clever reimagining of the classic pasta dish that you didn’t know you were craving.
For those seeking a more loaded option, the Ortolana pizza is a veggie lover’s dream. It’s piled high with San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, grilled eggplant and capsicum, marinated artichokes, fresh basil, and finished with a drizzle of Coratina extra virgin olive oil.
Don’t leave without trying their authentic Italian desserts. The homemade Maritozzi – fluffy, cream-filled buns – are a must-try. For a shareable treat, opt for the Angioletti: lightly fried dough sticks served with Nutella and fresh strawberries.
The mastermind behind 170 Grammi is Luigi Esposito, a chef with over 35 years of experience. Inspired by his wife’s Roman heritage, Esposito set out to create a pizzeria celebrating Rome’s unique, crunchy pizzas. This marks his third Sydney pizza venture, following the success of his famous Neapolitan pies at Via Napoli.
Wondering about the name? Every pizza at 170 Grammi starts with a precisely measured 170-gram dough ball, ensuring the perfect balance of thin crust and toppings.
