Specialising in crispy Italian Roman-style pizzas, 170 Grammi is putting a modern spin on traditional favourites.

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.
