Little Venice Pizza

Little Venice Pizza has been a South Wedge neighborhood institution for over 30 years, earning a fiercely loyal following for its New York-style pizza, classic Italian dishes, and what many consider the best trash plate (Rochester's signature dish) in the city. Located at 663 South Avenue, Little Venice is the kind of neighborhood pizzeria that every city wishes it had. The pizza is the star — hand-tossed, perfectly charred, and topped with quality ingredients that set it apart from the competition. Whether you go for a classic cheese slice, a loaded specialty pie, or their famous Sicilian, Little Venice delivers the authentic New York pizza experience that Rochester craves. The trash plate — a heaping combination of home fries, macaroni salad, meat, and hot sauce — is a must-try for anyone exploring Rochester's iconic food culture. Beyond pizza and plates, Little Venice serves a full menu of Italian favorites including calzones, subs, pasta dishes, and wings. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it perfect for families, late-night cravings, and everything in between. For over three decades, Little Venice has been proof that the South Wedge is one of Rochester's best neighborhoods for eating well without breaking the bank.
