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
Food was amazing and great service
Truly recommend
One of the best place that i have had so far
The caprissioca was 10/10 and amatriana pasta was great👍
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is warm, and perfect for catching up with friends or just enjoying a relaxed meal.
And their specials? So good. Always exciting and totally worth trying.
Highly recommend - I'll definitely keep coming back!
We started with a glass of Prosecco each and for the price it exceeded my expectations. Crisp, smooth, nice bubbles. Perfect start.
The prawn spaghetti was a standout. Full flavour, proper seasoning, and a decent amount of prawns, not that sad two prawn situation. Pasta was al dente, prawn quality was high, and the oil level was perfect. The sauce was to die for.
Then the signature dish. The oxtail ragu pappardelle. This is the second time we’ve been here and we actually came back for this dish. It hit the spot again. The slow cooked oxtail melts in your mouth, the sauce is delicious, and the cheese balances it out. No let downs. I’d come back a third time just for that.
Sides were solid too. Roast potatoes were crispy, fluffy, not oily, not too salty, and you could actually taste the rosemary and garlic in a balanced way. The rocket and parmesan salad was fresh, not overdressed, and the rocket gave that salty punch in a tasteful way.
Service was great. Prompt, friendly, food didn’t take ages, they checked in at the right moments without hovering like you’re on a performance review.
Good energy, good food, consistent.
A wonderful pizza 🍕🫶
