Thanks. I can't remember a pizza place there, but it's not the
first time I've forgotten something. ;-) I'm pretty sure I've
never been there though.

Ugh! Did I actually spell "Giorgio" with an "e" instead of "i"?
Sorry.

"Guidecca side"? There's no Guidecca side. It's San Marco on one
side and Dorsoduro on the other.

Dorsoduro is the side closer to Giudecca, if that's what you
mean.

If it's on the Dorsoduro side, then I think I remember it.

Don't forget about the mosquitoes - I was attacked and looked like I had gone threw a round with Mike Tyson! All the same I loved Venice.

That reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon from decades ago: a real estate
agent in Arab dress, showing a property to a similarly dressed client,
says with a big grin "And it's only a stone's throw from the American
Embassy!"
