The affordable pizza is baked using traditional Italian methods and ranges in price from $20 to $25 depending on the size.

The traditional pizza has won several awards before, including best pizza in the world and a Guinness world record. The affordable range starts at $20 and can be bought at seven locations in Australia
Johnny Di Francesco, founder of the restaurant group, draws on his Italian heritage to bring his creations to life authentically; his parents immigrated to Australia in the 1960s from Naples, the home of Neapolitan pizza.
The True Neapolitan Pizza Association has strict guidelines outlining how an authentic Neapolitan pizza must be made.
400 Gradi was the first ever Australian pizza chain to be certified by the the Association.

This year 400 Gradi also won the Made in Italy 2022 Latter Sorrentina Award for their authentic Italian pizzas, hand-made pasta and antipasti.
The group previously took the title for best pizza in the world for their margherita pizza.
Their 154 cheese pizza broke a Guinness world record for the greatest variety of cheese on a pizza.
Johnny opened his first 400 Gradi restaurant in Brunswick, Victoria in 2009.
Since then he has expanded to six locations in Victoria, one in South Australia and one in Dallas, Texas.
Earlier this year he opened his second regional location in Mildura, North-West Victoria.
The 300 seater restaurant features a gelateria, grocer and deli.
The chain has expanded to seven restaurants in Australia and one in the United States. The pizza, pasta and antipasti has excellent reviews from hundreds of customers online
Johnny opened a pizzeria-gelateria, a restaurant that also serves gelato, in Essendon, Victoria.
The chef said gelato after pizza is the perfect combination, he always goes for gelato after having pizza in Naples.
The gelateria features 12 gelato flavours that are freshly churned every day and served with panna, a whipped cream served with the dessert in Naples.
The restaurant group has rave reviews from customers and foodies.
‘I think we just found our favourite Italian restaurant!’ one woman said after visiting the chain.
‘Everything that we ordered was exactly to our liking, from the pizzas to the pastas. it was so packed with flavour we ordered a second round!’
‘It’s been over two years since I tasted the best pizza of my entire life. It was a left over Margarita pizza from 400 Gradi which was heated up in a microwave. To this day I am still chasing that taste.’ another said.
One Australian woman said the pizza was ‘Italian husband-approved.’
