Al Nono Risorto
Manifesto or menu? At Al Nono Risorto, pizzas are listed alongside urgent action alerts: ‘No abandoning animals!’, ‘More rights for gays and domestic partners!’ Prices are left of centre, radical-chic servers can’t be bothered with petty bourgeois orders, and on sunny days, all of Venice converges on the garden for squid with polenta, the bargain house prosecco, and cross-partisan bonding.

Ae Oche
Architecture students and budget-minded foodies converge here for a choice of 70-plus wood-fired pizzas and ale at excellent prices. Extreme eaters order the lip-buzzing mangiafuoco (fire-eater) with hot salami, Calabrese peppers and Tabasco sauce, while Palladio scholars stick with the classic white estiva with rocket, seasoned Grana Padano cheese and cherry tomatoes.

Conca d’Oro
Pizza is not a local speciality, in case you hadn’t guessed from the cardboard pies you’ll find at eateries pandering to the tourist trade around San Marco – but this place is the exception. This local joint right behind San Marco brought pizza to Venice in 1960, and has been slinging generous thin-crust pies with creative toppings ever since. They’re not especially quick about it, so relax and enjoy the sun in the piazza and the Italian ska blaring on the stereo.

Pizzeria alla Strega
Late hours and dozens of creative pizza toppings are the secrets of Alla Strega (‘the Witch’) and its mysterious powers to satisfy picky eaters of all ages. With mod castle decor and a collection of witch dolls keeping a beady eye on proceedings, you might expect the back door to lead to Hogwarts Station – but instead you’ll find an enchanting garden where you can keep cool while eating your Calabrian pepper–laced Inferno pizza.

Antico Panificio
Most Venetian pizzerias pander to tourists, but this wood-fired pizza joint is packed with a neighbourhood crowd – be prepared to lunge at open tables when you get the nod, and order decisively. Basic options like pizza margherita (with basil, mozzarella and tomato) or sausage insult the chef’s intelligence – go with anchovies, squash blossoms or whatever seasonal topping your neighbours are enjoying.

Antica Birraria la Corte
The former bullfight pen became a brewery in the 19th century to keep Venice’s Austrian occupiers occupied, and even as a modern eatery it’s still obsessed with grilled beef and good beer. Pizza is the way to go here, including such non-touristy versions as the arugula, bresaola and Grana Padano pizza. With room for 150, there’s hardly ever a wait, and piazza seating is prime for outdoor movie screenings in summer.

Muro
Mellow at lunch, trendy at happy hour, and chic at dinner: this versatile restaurant/bar/pizzeria aims to please with inventive pizzas, seasonal salads that could serve as mains and an above-average selection of beer and wine. Grab a chair in the piazza, or duck into the snug, exposed-brick interior to canoodle in white-leather and striped-silk banquettes.

Da Tiziano
Keeping it low-key on the Lido, this local hang-out serves decent pizza at fair prices, and respectable cicheti to a regular happy-hour crowd. If movie stars drop by, that can’t be helped – this is the handiest pizzeria to the Palazzo della Mostra del Cinema.

All’Anfora
Head out the back into the courtyard to indulge in an enormous choice of generous, tasty pizzas over a beer. The crowd pleaser here is the namesake pizza all’Anfora, loaded up with local cured meats, artichokes and asparagus.

Pizza al Volo
Peckish night owls run out of options fast in Venice once restaurants start to close at 10pm – but slices here are cheap and tasty, with a thin yet sturdy crust that won’t collapse on your bar-hopping outfit.
