Pizzeria Ortica - 650
Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, CA is presented by the David Myers Group.
The pizza dough is hand stretched and fired in a brick
oven. The staff will warn you that the
crust around the pizza is burnt but that is the way it is done in a brick
oven. It is not overly burnt and is
perfectly done the way I remember in Florence, Italy so no harm no foul. I must admit that the pizza’s dough to
filling ratio is perfect. It is not
doughy. I recommend the Pizza Margherita
made with c Pizza di Banderas had
too much cheese and Kalamata olives were too salty which overwhelmed the
flavor. For those with fancier tastes I
recommend the Guanciale, ricotta e cipollotto.
It is made with f

The appetizers and salads are a bit small for the price. If you are looking to be filled up then family style would be the way to order from the menu. Order many and share. This will allow you take part in a little bit of everything. It also opens you wide up for dessert. Unfortunately they ran out of Tiramisu so I left a little disappointed.
Parking is located at the Plaza Tower behind the
restaurant. The restaurant does provide
2 hour validations. Remember to tell the
parking attendants that you are there for the restaurant NOT the theater
otherwise you will have to cough up $10.00 to park.
Service was good however the bartender was fabulous she came
to our table herself to refresh our cocktails.
The drinks she concocted were EXCELLENT.
This place would be perfect for appetizers and drinks after work or
before the show. Not sure I would go
back for dinner as it was a little pricey for what you get and I can order that
anywhere. All in all 3 forks for effort and the bartender made it a pleasant
experience for everyone.
