Farini Venezia

If you’ve ever wondered whether Roman-style pizza al taglio exists outside of Rome, Farini in Venice proves it absolutely does—and it’s worth seeking out. This casual spot near the Rialto Bridge specializes in those thick, airy squares of pizza that have made Rome famous, bringing a taste of the capital to the canals of Venice.

The crust here is the star of the show: gloriously thick, impossibly fluffy, and with just the right amount of chew. Whether you go for something indulgent like brie and speck or keep it simple with a classic margherita, each slice delivers that satisfying combination of crispy edges and pillowy interior. The toppings are quality and the portions are generous, especially considering the wallet-friendly prices.

Farini makes for an ideal pit stop while exploring Venice’s labyrinthine streets. With multiple locations near the Rialto Bridge, it’s easy to pop in between museum visits or canal-side wandering. The Aliani location offers the most seating with plenty of high-top tables, making it comfortable for a proper snack break rather than eating on the go.

For budget-conscious travelers or anyone craving something quick and satisfying, this is exactly the kind of spot Venice needs more of—no-fuss, delicious pizza at prices that won’t break the bank. Just point at what looks good in the display case and let them cut you a slice.
