Artisan Bread and Wood-Fired Pizzas

Scarpello & Co began as a small micro-bakery supplying bread to markets in Derry and Donegal, and over the years it has grown into a beloved neighborhood bakehouse and pizzeria. Every day, the team prepares their signature sourdough from scratch, turning it into crusty loaves, flaky pastries, and the base for their wood-fired pizzas. The menu is focused and honest: grilled cheese sandwiches, seasonal salads, and a rotating selection of pizzas with toppings that highlight local and seasonal produce. Everything is made in-house, from the dough to the sauces, giving each bite a distinct, homemade character.

A Casual, Community-Focused Space

The Buncrana Road location is designed for relaxed, everyday dining. The interior is simple and inviting, with a mix of tables for sit-in meals and a counter for quick takeaway orders. Large windows let in natural light, and the open kitchen offers glimpses of bakers and cooks at work. The atmosphere is lively but never rushed, making it a natural gathering spot for locals, families, and visitors looking for a genuine, unfussy meal. Whether you’re stopping in for a morning pastry, a lunchtime sandwich, or a late-night pizza, the service is friendly and the vibe is distinctly Derry—warm, down-to-earth, and welcoming.

Rooted in Derry’s Food Culture

Since its start in 2010, Scarpello & Co has become a fixture in Derry’s independent food scene. What began as a market stall has evolved into a permanent bakehouse and pizzeria that reflects the city’s growing appreciation for artisanal, locally made food. The team’s commitment to baking everything from scratch and using quality ingredients has earned a loyal following. The pizzeria’s Thursday–Sunday schedule keeps it special without feeling exclusive, and its location on Buncrana Road makes it easily accessible while still feeling like a local secret rather than a tourist trap.
