Who we are

400 Gradi is a Melbourne-born Italian hospitality brand built around authentic Italian food and the art of traditional Neapolitan pizza.





Our founder Johnny Di Francesco built the brand from a passion for pizza, and today 400 Gradi has restaurants across Australia and internationally while maintaining that same focus on quality, authenticity and genuine Italian hospitality.

- Monitor oven temperature, timing and cooking consistency
- Maintain quality, presentation and portioning throughout service
- Keep the pizza section clean, organised and ready for service
- Work closely with the wider BOH team during busy periods
- Follow food safety and hygiene standards
- Take ownership of your section and contribute to a strong kitchen culture

What you’ll bring

- You’ll be someone who already understands that good pizza is about much more than toppings.
- You’ll have an appreciation for dough, temperature, timing and consistency and be comfortable working in a restaurant environment where quality matters.
- With the warmer and busier months ahead, we’re looking for someone who wants more than a short seasonal job and can see themselves becoming a reliable, long-term member of the team.
