There are many pizzeria in Venice. Pizza can be served in a sit-down setting or alternatively you can get ready to eat individual slices “pizza al taglio” from various outlets. In Venice, due to the fire risks, there are very few pizzeria with wood ovens. Usually in Italy, the pizza toppings are quite conservative (no ham and pineapple here!) with often just one topping at a time. If you have travelled in other regions of Italy you will notice that certain pizza names means something different in each place, so do check the list before you order. 

Most Italians order fried appetizers before the pizza, either fried mozzarella balls “mozzeralline fritte”, onion rings, chips or “olive ascolana” olives filled with meat and deep fried.
