 | Venice ai Sportivi Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
After the big European VT Meeting near Verona, I headed to Venice with fellow VT'ers jessica-b & HORSCHECK.
Upon arrival, we walked Jessica to her hotel, which was located in one of my favourite places in Venice, Campo Santa Margherita. Here was the home to the restaurant that all the guide books claim has the "best pizza in Venice", and I had always been keen to eat here, but hadn't made it on previous trips.
Finally I got my chance - we all had lunch at Pizzeria Ai Sportivi.
We only just made it though - we just managed to order our food before the end of lunch.....but I'm so glad we made it in time....we did get a little lost on the way there....but what do you expect in Venice!?
The pizza's were fabulous - and huge! We enjoyed a great lunch sitting in the piazza - it doesn't get much better than pizza and vino, with friends - in Italy!
*** Last visit was Sep 2007 - had another tasty lunch, this time with my parents. The pizzas were even bigger than I remembered!! *** Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Dosoduro - Campo Santa Margherita, 3052Phone: 041 521 1598Directions: At the southern end of Piazza Santa Margherita, near the English Pub

This Pizzeria seems to be one of the hundreds with the best pizza in Venice, but Ai Sportivi really deserves a visit. It is in fact my favourite place among the three Pizzerias I visited in Venice.
The pizzas are delicious, huge and inexpensive; Ai Sportivi even doesn't charge for cover and service (coperto, servici) which seems to be hard to find in the centre of Venice.

It has both inside and outside tables.

We ate in this restaurant on both days of our visit. It was the only cheap restaurant we could find anywhere in Venice, the pizzas were good and the wine was cheap. What more could you want?

Small restaurant in a small Campo. Simple and inexpensive.
You must try the pumpkin, rosemary pizza. The single best pizza I have had in my life. Theme: ItalianPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Campo San Margherita, Dorsoduro, Venice, ItalyDirections: In the heart of the Campo.

Friendly, timely service. Great atmosphere.
Lots of kinds of pizzas. We all ordered different types and sampled each others'.

This place is at the church end of the campo. Looking into the restaurant, the church would be to the far right, exiting the campo to the left.

Same as above, but by evening. The Pizza is some kind of goats cheese & ruccola creation. Very nice it was too :-) Theme: OtherPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Campo Santa Margarita, Dorsoduro

We first came here to meet our friends Sandy(smith) & Dave, it was their recommendation. It's a very pleasant little bar/pizzeria and a good place to while away some time. Later we came back on our own, and after a few beers we fancied a 'snack'. We though 'if we get ONE pizza, we can sneakily share it'. When they brought it though, it was already cut in 1/2 and was on two plates. I think the guys here might be psychic or something! Be careful about what you're thinking, OK :-)

It was a nice and cosy little place and full of Italian families or groups of friends. We were told it was in not a very touristy area so the prices were a bit cheaper than you would find in the main areas... Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianAddress: I'm not sure, but I will find out if I can...

My guide book reckoned this was "easily the best pizza in Venice", and who am I to argue??!

Very disappointed by this place - having read rave reviews of it on several sites, we went there in October 2007 and had a bad experience. There were plenty of tables outside, but we were ushered inside and then made to wait at the bar for a table. While we were standing there, we saw pizzas being brought to a table next to us, and they looked dry and unappetising. One of the orders was wrong, and it was returned, but the poor lass who returned it was forced to wait and watch her friends eating theirs for a very long time. Eventually a table became free, but the party which had come in behind us by several minutes got it ahead of us. The waiters' clothing was grubby and they did not seem, from our pretty good view at the bar, to have a grip on things. After a very long wait - no offer of a drink while we were waiting - we decided discretion was the better part of valour and left. We had a great meal at another restaurant on the Campo.
