Our Story
The Birth of 170 Grammi
Born out of a love for Rome and its culinary delights, 170 Grammi brings the crispy joy of Roman pizza to the streets of Sydney. Our founder, Luigi Esposito, inspired by his wife’s Roman heritage, decided to create a pizzeria that celebrates the unique, crunchy, and delicious pizzas of Rome. Every pizza starts with a 170-gram dough ball, hence the name, ensuring the perfect balance of thin crust and mouth-watering toppings.
Meet Luigi
The Pizza Maestro
With over 35 years of pizza-making experience, Luigi Esposito is no stranger to the art of crafting perfect pizzas. Known for his famous Neapolitan pies at Via Napoli, Luigi has now set his sights on introducing Sydneysiders to the lesser-known but equally delicious Roman pizza. Luigi’s passion for pizza, combined with his fun-loving personality, ensures that every visit to 170 Grammi is a delightful experience.

What Surry Hills Diners Are Saying About Our Pizza
(Coke a bit expensive, seven dollars, however the pizza was so good I already forgot about it)
They do gluten free pasta and pizza too.
Seated outside but under a shelter and warm. Service was excellent too. Wine was very reasonably priced too - cheapest was $11 a glass.
Would definitely recommend.
Service also so great, will definitely be back!! 🥰
The food was outstanding!! The most authentic pizza in Sydney and I’ve never had such a good pesto pasta as tonight.
The signature cocktails are one of a kind. The kiss and tell cocktail was lovely!!
Definitely recommend…we are coming back soon!!!
Best spaghetti frutti de mare I’ve had.
Very good value..
