    The crust! Oh, the crust! Born from a 300-year-old starter, massaged by a knowing knead, then slid into an oak-burning oven to blister and bubble, the pizza at David Myers' Pizzeria Ortica makes you feel like you're tasting pizza for the first time--at least, pizza as it's meant to be.

    Their pizza and salads are absolutely amazing here. Crispy and topped with fresh ingredients that will make you an instant addict. If you're bold, try their desserts- any of them. They area all equally delicious, especially if caramel is involved.
