Located in Dianella, this charming retro suburban takeaway shopfront dates back approximately 90 years and offers a rich slice of local history. Originally established in the 1930s, the building has served various roles over the decades — from a butcher shop and fish & chip shop, to a roast chicken takeaway and traditional Italian deli. Since 1999, it has been home to the family-run Mario’s Pizza, a local favourite.
The interior is a nostalgic time capsule, retaining a strong 1980s to early 1990s aesthetic. It features light green and dark red walls, old-school style signage, and classic takeaway counter design. The store still includes original structural elements and layout consistent with mid-century Australian suburban strip shops.
This corner-lot premises includes a compact kitchen area, dine-in counter seating, and prominent street-facing windows — perfect for scenes requiring a retro-style takeaway, pizza parlour, or general eatery. A historic photograph from the 1930s is available for reference, showing the storefront’s original facade.
With nearly a century of layered history, Mario’s Pizza offers filmmakers an authentic, character-rich location suitable for period pieces, nostalgic storytelling, or local urban atmosphere.
