400 Gradi was established in 2008, with our flagship site in the heart of brunswick. Like most italian families, we’ve grown. We have locations around the world with passionate teams committed to offering heartfelt cuisine in a warm atmosphere. Founder johnny di francesco got his first job making pizza at the age of 12, motivated by wanting to buy a pair of nikes that his family couldn’t afford. He bought the nikes and his passion for the art of pizza grew. After several trips to the motherland, johnny decided it was time that australians got a taste of neopolitan pizza. Cooked at 400 degrees for just 90 seconds, the pizza was a hit. Fresh pasta made by hand and a menu of antipasti and quality italian fare has made 400 Gradi a household name. With his wife maria and a stellar team of enthusiasts, johnny has expanded the gradi family across multiple brands all offering an authentic italian dining experience. Johnny has authored two cookbooks and has made headlines and television appearances globally.
