Pizzeria Orso

Whether you're looking for an Italian five-cheese or a more unconventional combination of flavors, Pizzeria Orso has the pie for you. Most intriguing? The Tri Colore, a stuffed pizza with both pesto/ricotta and ricotta/salami fillings. The restaurant also offers other Italian specialties, but the pizzas are the real draw here. Pair a slice with one of the Italian wines from the resto's list, and you're in for a treat that's magnifico. 400 S. Maple Ave., Falls Church, 703-226-3460; pizzeriaorso.com
