Typically in Venice, the less touristy areas will have lower prices with similar quality. Pizza and Gelato will be good anywhere you go in Venice. If you want the best deal however, Algiubagiò is the place to go. Algiubagiò is right next to the Fondamente Nuove boat stop. Algiubagiò is also about a 5min walk from the Ca' Corte apartments. Algiubagiò has a big plastic cone of gelato in front of it.
The pizza here is among the best I have tasted in Venice (and I have been to many places in Venice). A slice of pizza Margherita (plain cheese pizza) is 1.50 euro while a slice with toppings is 2.00 euro. Other pizzerias have at minimum a 50 cent increase in price per slice. Not only does Algiubagiò have a wide variety of toppings, but they make regular and deep dish style pizza. One common lunch that a teammate and I would enjoy was a large pie of pizza Diavola (pepperoni) which costs 11.00 euro. A pizza place that we would eat at previously near the VPC sold the same pie for 14.00 euro. Personal pizzas are good enough for one person. A personal pie of pizza Margherita costs 5.00 euro.
Gelato is a great treat, and Algiubagiò does not disappoint. They can sell from one to about 30 scoops depending on how much you want. For one scoop of gelato, the price is 1.00 euro cup or cone, and the price for each additional scoop drops the more there are. For example, 5 scoops of gelato cup or cone costs 3.30 euro. Comparatively, 5 scoops can be sold for as much as 5 euro in the more expensive parts of Venice. They have a great selection of around ten different flavors. Some places that sell gelato taste more like American ice cream than the creamy Italian treat. Algiubagiò sells the real stuff, and it taste great.
The people that work at Algiubagiò make this place great. The people are very friendly and on occasion gave us special deals because we were regulars. Algiubagiò also sells drinks, alcohol, chips, cookies, and even pasta. I feel that Algiubagiò is a great place that all WPI students should know about and enjoy.
