About Proper Pizza Pasta and Ribs

Tucked right off the M1 in Carrara, this takeaway shop loads every pizza with fresh toppings pushed right to the outer crust. Hungry regulars heading past Nerang pull in for hefty portions that actually feed a crowd, from thick pepperoni rounds to the fan-favorite Satay Chicken. The kitchen does not stop at pies—tenders, calzones, and rich Pollo Funghi share counter space with racks of slow-cooked pork ribs alongside creamy scalloped potatoes.

  • Edge-to-edge crusts: Bases come packed generously with toppings layered straight to the perimeter.
  • Slow-cooked ribs & potato bake: Tender pork ribs paired with rich scalloped potatoes provide hearty non-pizza options.
  • Convenient M1 corridor stop: Easy motorway off-ramp access makes quick pick-up dinners effortless during transit.
