About De Marconi's Pizza & Pasta

Highett regulars know De Marconi’s Pizza & Pasta as the real deal for old-school deck pizza—generously topped, perfectly timed, and crisp on the bottom. Long-time owner-operated and proudly low on fuss, the counter kitchen lets you watch every base get hand-stretched and loaded right in front of you. Bases bake balanced—not too thick, not too thin—yielding a charred bite with a soft, chewy crumb underneath heaps of fresh ingredients. Takeaway orders hit the counter piping hot for family movie nights, while dietary substitutions like gluten-free bases and tomato sauce ingredient checks are handled with patient care. Settle an evening order with the Supreme or tender ravioli tossed in chicken avocado sauce.

  • Owner-crafted at the counter: The long-time owner hand-stretches and builds every order directly behind the counter in plain view.
  • Classic deck-baked crust: Traditional baking turns out balanced crusts with a crisp underside, chewy interior, and heavy toppings.
  • Dietary transparency: Staff patiently clarify sauce bases and accommodate gluten-free requests without hesitation.
