Pizzeria Castagnacci In Chioggia

Cute little shop in the heart of Chioggia! They only serve Margherita pizza and it's delicious! Sometimes there is a bit of a wait but that's part of the experience. It's super tasty and you pay by weight.

It's an experience beyond the usual takeout. The lines are unbelievable, but the philosophy for those waiting is to take the time to escape the frenetic pace of modern life and enter a small, ancient world of craftsmanship and decades-old tradition. Even watching the pizza chef prepare and bake the pizza takes us back to another era. And it's also a chance to chat with the people there. A return to the past that leaves a lasting impression. It reminds me of the old bakeries of Venice in the '60s and '70s, when I used to go with my parents to visit my uncle, who was a baker, getting up at 2 a.m. The effort and dedication to making the best bread possible. In short, if you're not in a hurry to eat, dedicate an hour and put your phone in your pocket. The spectacle is always the same, but timeless.

A magical place with incredible pizza, just one flavor to choose from, but of the highest quality. It's worth waiting in line for an hour to try it, and you'll definitely be satisfied. I also recommend trying their castagnacci cake. You can also eat inside, as there are tables available. Thank you for the experiences you've had all these years.

A must-do when visiting Chioggia

I've been going there for over thirty years and it's never been a disappointment, always excellent.

Friendly staff and excellent pizza. We came from the Czech Republic and discovered excellent pizza. They only make one type of pizza, but it's excellent. There's a line every night for excellent pizza. Thank you. 👍👍

Historic pizzeria in a small alley downtown. A little hole in the wall. Margherita pizza and castagnaccio. Sold by the pound. Crispy and unique.

A small, quaint, old-fashioned shop with a very busy atmosphere. Their deep-dish pizza is excellent.

Traditional pizza. Delicious, made right in the stone oven.

This pizzeria is an experience! It's tucked away in a small alley. You wouldn't expect to find such a little gem! They only serve traditional Margherita pizza from the wood-fired oven, but it tastes excellent! You should allow yourself some time, though; we were there around 8 p.m. and it was packed. Since most people buy lots of slices, it takes a while, but you can use the time to watch the food being prepared! Eating in isn't really possible, as there are only three small tables! So, order pizza to go!
