When a newcomer to Mildura inevitably asks the question, “where is the best pizza in town?” people will invariably answer with, “Big Lizzie Pizza.”

“You can’t go wrong with the Big Lizza,” one social media user replied when the question was asked online. “It’s Big Lizzie hands down,” said another.

Big Lizzie Pizza & Takeaway Mildura on Deakin Ave goes a step further than other pizza joints around town with an expanded menu that includes schnitzel packs, HSP’s, and classic fish and chips on top of its pizza offerings.

However, after years of serving the Mildura public with its generational recipes, Big Lizzie Pizza is now on the market.

The pizza is a must have for former locals who are back for a visit.

“We know there are people who don’t live here anymore, and when they come back for a visit, they gotta have that Big Lizzie pizza,” says the man tasked with finding new owners for the iconic establishment, Mark Thornton, principal and sales agent at One Agency in Mildura.

“The owners have several of these shops around town. It’s really an icon of Red Cliffs, and these guys have been in the takeaway game since they were kids,” Mr Thornton said.

The store hit the market just before Christmas 2023.

Already there are irons in the fire with regards to the sale of the business.

“There’s a couple of people from out of town who are looking at relocating which is promising,” Mr Thornton said.

“It’s a popular place. They’ve got a great product. It’s perfect for people who are looking for a business like this.”

The original Big Lizzie Pizza in Red Cliffs, along with the store in Buronga are not on the market and will remain under their existing ownership.
