La Pizzania Cafe
Located in the trendy Venice Grand Canal, La Pizzania Cafe brings Italian cuisine to our homage to Italy’s most romantic city. While the pizzas they serve are by no means traditional, they’re still a sight to see. La Pizzania’s margherita, bacon carbonara, and pepperoni pizzas are all balanced, as their sauces don’t overpower the cheese and vice versa. And if you want something more Western, we recommend trying their Detroit-style pizzas.
