Description: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.
Usage Restriction:Mario’s Pizza trades six nights a week, from Tuesday to Sunday, with staff typically on-site from as early as 10:00 AM until as late as 9:30 PM. Due to regular business operations, filming during these hours is not possible unless by special arrangement. The location is available for filming outside of these hours, including early mornings or late nights from Tuesday to Sunday. Mondays are fully available, offering the most flexibility for full-day or overnight shoots.
