Residents in Port Moresby should be glad to know that the city’s food scene has just got an upgrade.
Yesterday evening, May 17, 2026, Crust by 77 officially opened its doors, inviting a small, lively crowd of guests including Port Moresby’s content creators for an exclusive first taste.
The menu splits into crowd-pleasing Classics like Pepperoni, Triple Cheese, and Meat Lover, alongside bolder Creative options like Gamberetti and White Chicago. For sides, you can grab honey garlic chicken wings, kaukau chips, and fresh salad options.
Rubbing shoulders at the launch were local social media favorites Ugliest_Angraa (Xavier Ableson), WildchildJae (Jennifer Tan), PNG4Realz’s Klenneth Pombo, and Matt Hatter, who all gave a quick nod to the surprisingly affordable prices.
While the Sweet Soy Chicken was an instant hit, the real talk of the night was the dough. Pizza in Port Moresby often leans toward the heavy, dense side, but Crust by 77 is changing the game with a sourdough base.
It’s light, airy, and doesn't leave you feeling bloated. Guests also loved the open-kitchen setup, which lets you watch the chefs work their magic in real time.
The feedback from the creators wrapped up the night perfectly.
“The service is really good...I was surprised by the pizza. I love that it’s an open kitchen, and you could just really see what’s going on in the background. I’m so excited that we have something like this in Port Moresby. Something different,” WildChildJae commented.
The appreciation for the authentic setup didn't stop there.
“One thing I really like about the place is the way they make the food,” PNG4Realz noted. You don’t taste it and feel like it came out of a box. You taste it and you know that someone’s hands made it.”
Ugliest Angraa was just as impressed, adding, “The overall experience of this place; the food, the staff, the interior of it, a solid 10 out of 10. Come see it for yourselves. The food is actually quite affordable as well…I would recommend Crust by 77.”
For Matt Hatter, the spicier side of the menu stole the show.
“The food was on point, especially the chicken; the chili mayo chicken, is to die for. You could come here just to get that.”
Bringing it all together was the manager, Jeff, who already runs Kofi by 77. He was stoked to share the experience with PNG's TikTokers and guests, making it clear that everyone is welcome, and his team is ready to bring a fresh taste and a brand-new culinary atmosphere to the city.
