| Pizza perfection. |
On an unseasonably warm (in any other year) Presidents' Day, A and I headed to Harvard Square to see Safe House (loved it!) and check out
Otto Pizza. It's been in Harvard Square for a year but it was hard to break our
Cambridge One pre-movie pizza habit for a newcomer. When I found out Otto was owned by the same people who opened the universally-raved-about pizzeria by the same name in Portland the year after I left, though, I knew I had to go. One look at their
menu and I was completely sold.

The place was pretty much empty when we arrived, but it filled up right after we grabbed a spot at the windowfront counter.

| Where dreams are fulfilled |
We ordered a pie with Mashed Potato, Bacon, and Scallion on one half (the topping combination that sold A on the venture immediately) and Spicy Pulled Pork with Mango on the other. Two delicious iced teas rounded out the meal.

| Look at that bubble! I love pizza crust bubbles. |

We will probably be back to Otto every time we hit Harvard Square from now on (the fact that they sell slices is pretty deadly). Next time you're in Harvard Square, you have to go!

Great post! OTTO Pizza's opening a shop in Coolidge Corner in May, too. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My great quest is to make pizza dough approximating the Otto crust, I love it so much!
