Pizzeria Ortica is more than just a place to enjoy thin-crust pizzas. This spot, which sits within walking distance of Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segerstrom Hall and South Coast Plaza, feels like a real Italian bistro with its tile floors, soaring ceilings, Palladian arched windows and sidewalk terrace.

"Fabulous" Neapolitan pies with "just the right char" rank as some of the "best in the OC" claim enthusiasts of this Costa Mesa Italian from David Myers (Comme Ça in LA), which also proffers "creative, tasty" pastas; "so-so" service in the "long, narrow" and "noisy" space rankles some, but the price is right, and it's way "easier to get a reservation" than Pizzeria Mozza.
