Bertha's Pizza is known for Neapolitan sourdough pizza made with a long-ferment starter dough, proven for at least 30 hours before baking. This signature process ensures each pie has a light crust and crisp base, cooked in the hand-built wood-fired oven. Locals and foodies come here most evenings after work or on weekends to eat with friends. The place is packed, so it’s best suited for social gatherings rather than quiet solo dining. Events are rare but typically feature seasonal menu launches, expect live music and food tastings during limited release periods.
