Best pizza crust in the OC. Pastas and salads also great, and wine by glass selection is decent
MaximilianoOctober 2, 2013The crust on the border could be less burnt but overall it is a good Neapolitan style pizza. If you like spicy food, ask for the spicy oil: it is flavorful, dense and ... hot!
Alyssa KingFebruary 23, 2013Great service! I had the Margherita pizza, which was delicious. Even better was the Tiramisu! Definitely recommend dessert!
- Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011Authentic Rustic Italian pizza is served here. They are obsessed with pizza and you can definitely see that. *Guanciale, ricotta e cipollottoFresh ricotta, house-cured pork cheek, scallions*
Winery ExplorersNovember 4, 2013The pizza's are insane! But we have to agree with our 8 year old son, the CHICK is the best! Mmm! Try the roasted Brussels Sprouts too! Read more
Bradley LangermanMarch 6, 2013Pepperoni pizzas; sausage pizzas; cheese pizzas; and diet cokes tastes delicious to eat at Pizzeria Ortica.
- Kathleen EngeAugust 8, 2010Perfect place before the theate enjoy a bottle of wine then walk to OCPA center. , Choose anything with the Buratta. Especially the burrata appetizer with balsamic. Dang.
Hand made Napoli-style pizzas and fresh pastas as well as traditional antipasti in a casual setting.
Dina PepitoMarch 28, 2010If there is an event going on, don't pay the $8 parking fee. Just tell them you are going to the pizzeria and get a ticket. The restaurant validates!
Bruce NewtonFebruary 13, 2019Nothing on the menu sounds appealing. After ordering the best of the limited options, nothing I ordered tastes good. Not impressed with the food or the service. Not recommended.
NandiniApril 17, 2013Not that great anymore. I used to love this place, but the quality has declined in the past few months. Pizzas come out chewy. How hard is it to fully cookand slice up a pizza?
☆ La la la Linda ☆March 5, 2014Pizza is good. Stick to that. (Other plates look pretty and that's it.)
Have a pizza - it's the closest you'll ever get to an authentic European-style pizza in OC.

"Great venue!! Very beautiful! It's very intimate that you can see the stage from any seat! My only problem is the acoustics. It's difficult to hear in the back of the orchestra section."
