Pizzeria Orso

Opened in 2010 in Falls Church, VA. Pizzeria Orso is family-friendly authentic Neapolitan Pizzeria that also showcases an assortment of globally-inspired small plates. Pizzeria Orso features an enormous custom-made volcanic brick oven handcrafted by Forno Napoletano for the restaurant, in Italy. True to traditional Neapolitan technique, the pizza dough – which uses a sour starter - at Pizzeria Orso is naturally leavened, never refrigerated, and baked in the wood-burning oven at approximately 800°F for 90 seconds. Pizzeria Orso was named as one of the top 50 Best Restaurants by Northern Virginia magazine and was also recently awarded Best Italian Restaurant by Northern Virginia Magazine and inventive globally-inspired small plates available in the DC area.
