What Comes Up Again and Again
A few things come up again and again in 170 Grammi reviews — the crunch of the Roman-style base, the authenticity even Italian-born regulars vouch for, and how well the kitchen handles dietary requests without compromising on the pizza itself.
“The food is really GORGEOUS and 100% Italian… It’s without any doubt my favourite pizzeria in Sydney, the crunchy pizza simply amazing.”
— Massimiliano Bux
“We have a regular Italian meal every month with a bunch of old Italian-Australians… the pizzas were authentic and the pasta was made with passion.”
— Garibaldi Mangiapane
“We were… looking for some great gluten-free pizza and we found it!… The pizza size, thin dough and crispy crust.”
— Cecilia Quiñinao Perez
What Surry Hills Diners Are Saying About 170 Grammi
Then the pizza arrived. Miracles do happen. Crispy, light, perfectly cooked and unmistakably authentic. My sphincter, still suffering PTSD from its previous double shift after the Via Napoli debacle, was finally permitted to relax.
By the second slice, I realised I hadn’t lost faith in my native cuisine. 170 Grammi is, without question, the best pizza I’ve had in Surry Hills and quite possibly the best in Sydney. Proper Roman style pizza, exceptional ingredients and proof that authenticity is, in fact, still available in 2026.
Five stars. Would happily risk eternal damnation for another pizza at 170 Grammi.
The kids pizza also surprised us with its size and shape - fun!
Service was great, only thing I’d prefer next time was not being seated at the first table amidst the passing pedestrian traffic and shop entry at the very front. Thankfully winter sun and the weekend lunch hour still made it pleasant enough.
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!
The flavour profile definitely reminds me of home (Philippines) :D. This place is good for girls night out or a mid-week date night!
(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!!!
