Who we are

Our Brunswick restaurant is the original home and flagship venue of 400 Gradi – a high-volume, established Italian restaurant where pizza remains at the heart of what we do.

You’ll already be comfortable working on a professional pizza section and understand that great pizza involves much more than simply assembling toppings.
You’ll understand the importance of dough, fermentation, temperature, timing and wood-fired cooking and take genuine pride in producing a consistently high-quality product.
If authentic Italian food and Neapolitan pizza are your craft, we’d love to hear from you.
