Orto Pizzabar

Tucked into Belfast's Linen Quarter, this lively pizzabar has become a go-to spot for sourdough, Neapolitan-style pizza in the city centre. The dough is proved slowly and the pies emerge blistered and chewy from the oven, with a proper Margherita Pizza that lets the tomato and mozzarella do the talking alongside more adventurous toppings. Beyond the pizzas you will find small plates, well-made cocktails and a relaxed, buzzy room, but plenty of locals simply grab a box to take away or collect on the move.

It is a firm favourite with both visitors and Belfast regulars, holding a rating of 4.0 out of 5 on Tripadvisor and a top Food Hygiene Rating that points to a kitchen run with real care. Staff are well briefed on allergens and happy to talk you through the menu, which makes it an easy choice for groups with different needs. Whether you are after a quick weekday slice or feeding a crowd at the weekend, it delivers honest, freshly made Italian food without any fuss.
