The '''Venice pizza man'''<ref>Name seen on his gondola</ref> is a [[Venice|Venetian]] pizza-delivery man who appears in the episode "[[The Venice Menace]]" in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. At the start of the episode, he arrives in [[Desert Land]] via a [[Warp Pipe|warp pipe]] and lands in front of [[Mario]] and his friends. He explains to them that everyone was fleeing Venice because it was under attack by a sea monster. Mario, feeling an unexplainable attachment to Venice, recruits [[Luigi]], and the Mario Bros. head off to deal with the monster, which turns out to be the [[Doom Sub]].

After Mario and Luigi stop [[Bowser]] and [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]] from taking over Venice, the pizza man takes the heroes for a gondola ride. He stops in front of two statues that Mario and Luigi passed earlier, and explains that they were [[Marco Polo's Plumbers|Marco Polo's plumbers]], whom the brothers almost identically resemble.

The pizza man, instead of speaking proper Italian, recites the names of famous Italians or people of Italian descent.
