==Club career==

===Ararat Yerevan===
Pizzelli started his career at the Brazilian club [São Carlos](/source/S%C3%A3o_Carlos_Futebol_Clube) as a youth from 2000 to 2005. In 2006, the young talent was spotted by an agent from [Ararat Yerevan](/source/FC_Ararat_Yerevan), who soon recruited Pizzelli. His debut took place on 30 April in a game against [Ulisses](/source/Ulisses_FC). Pizzelli entered the field in the 58th minute of the match, replacing [Tigran Yesayan](/source/Tigran_Yesayan). His first goal for Ararat happened on 16 June in another game against [Ulisses](/source/Ulisses_FC). For the first season Pizzelli focused on adapting, and the next on scoring goals. With his good performances, Pizzelli was the leading scorer in the [Armenian Premier League](/source/Armenian_Premier_League) twice with Ararat, scoring 22 goals during the [2007 Armenian Premier League](/source/2007_Armenian_Premier_League) and scoring 17 goals during that [2008 Armenian Premier League](/source/2008_Armenian_Premier_League).<ref name="PS">{{cite web|script-title=hy:Մարկոս. 100 խաղ առաջնությունում|url=http://www.armsport.am/am/news/2/26/8933/|publisher=armsport.am|access-date=6 March 2013|language=hy|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100712200603/http://www.armsport.am/am/news/2/26/8933|archive-date=12 July 2010}}</ref> As a result of the financial problems that befell Ararat, the club decided to loan Pizzelli to the amateur club of the French 5th Division – Ararat (Issy-les-Moulineaux).

===Pyunik Yerevan===
Six months later, in the summer of 2009, Pizzelli's contract with [Ararat Yerevan](/source/Ararat_Yerevan) ended, and, as a free agent, he accepted offer of [FC Yerevan Pyunik](/source/FC_Pyunik). In July, he signed a long-term contract. With Pizzelli playing for Pyunik, the club won the [2009 Armenian Premier League](/source/2009_Armenian_Premier_League) and [2010 Armenian Premier League](/source/2010_Armenian_Premier_League), won the [2009 Armenian Cup](/source/2009_Armenian_Cup) and [2010 Armenian Cup](/source/2010_Armenian_Cup) and won the 2010 Armenian Supercup. In the 10th round of the 2010 Armenian Premier League, Marcos had his 100th match in the Premier League in the history of his performance.<ref name="PS" /> That season, Pizzelli became the top goalscorer for a third time along with Armenian [Gevorg Ghazaryan](/source/Gevorg_Ghazaryan), with both scoring 16 goals. In the middle of the [2011 Armenian Premier League](/source/2011_Armenian_Premier_League), Pizzelli scored six goals, but was then transferred to [Metalurh Donetsk](/source/FC_Metalurh_Donetsk).

===Metalurh Donetsk===
In June 2011, Pizzelli signed a contract with [Metalurh Donetsk](/source/Metalurh_Donetsk), along with Pyunik teammate Gevorg Ghazaryan.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ru:Первые новички донецкого "Металлурга"|url=http://metallurg.donetsk.ua/ru/news/archive/7132|publisher=metallurg.donetsk.ua|access-date=1 March 2013|language=ru|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811225337/http://metallurg.donetsk.ua/ru/news/archive/7132|archive-date=11 August 2011}}</ref> In his first official match for the Donetsk club, Pizzelli scored a goal, and this goal, scored against [Chornomorets Odesa](/source/FC_Chornomorets_Odesa), was the only one in the match. In the higher level championship, Pizzelli had more difficulty playing and found it harder to score than in the Armenian Premier League. However, his trouble scoring was also due to the Metalurh coach not playing as a striker, but instead as an attacking midfielder.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ru:МАРКОС ПИЦЦЕЛЛИ: Я СДЕЛАЛ ШАГ ВПЕРЕД|url=http://www.fckuban.ru/news/3344/|publisher=fckuban.ru|access-date=6 March 2013|language=ru}}</ref>
