City Oltra

Tucked right down the stairs from Central Station on Eddy Ave—neon lights buzzing, R&B pumping. City Oltra is slinging serious dough. Pizza purists make a beeline here for the dual-threat menu: impossibly massive NYC-style slices with a shatter-crisp base, and thick Detroit-style squares boasting a flawlessly caramelized frico edge. The topping game is wild but calculated. Think heavy-hitting potato and sausage, a sweet-heat Diavola Bianca drenched in hot honey, or a defiant grape jam creation. Those perched at the bar will tell you the crumbed olives are non-negotiable. Wash it down with a razor-sharp cocktail. The crew here is fiercely hospitable—always ready with a killer recommendation or a soothing side sauce if the chili hits too hard. Save room for the house-made cookie ice cream sandwich. Total carb euphoria.
