Burger
King, but McDonalds very definitely has a presence in Venice.


There is a burger king within a stones throw of the rialto
bridge.


I'm not surprised, but as I said, I wasn't sure.


But my fave cheap eating place in venice is the pizza place
under the
academia bridge.


Which place is that? Which end of the bridge? The Dorsoduro side?


Nope the other side.

This picture (not mine) was taken from the restaurant:

I wouldn't say it was in any way the best Pizza I've had but good value for
money, which is hard to find in Venice.

Yep, ate there. Or, at least, she did. Couldn't talk her out
of it:-(

It was the smallest Maccas I've ever been in, but at least
the toilet was clean.

Actually, the Bar Accademia Foscari is at the foot of the bridge on the
Dorsoduro side.

Sorry to correct spelling, but since it's the name of the church,
and likely to confuse people if left as is, I think you mean St.
Georgio.

Giorgio Maggiore. The campanile, by the way, is closed til l-- we are
told -- autumn.

Not knowing where exactly Dorsoduro was I found this map:

From memory I thought it was on the Guidecca side, but its a short bridge
:-)

Proves you to be right, I didn't correctly spot where the Grand Canal was on
the first map :-)

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.

Are you suggesting that we throw stones at it?

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!"
