Squash blossoms with burrata & tomato, if not the best, possibly the tastiest pizza I’ve ever had? The burrata is so fresh and melt in your mouth.
Funghi misti, Fontina, Taleggio & thyme, 2nd tastest pizza so far?
Prosciutto di Parma, Rucola & mozzarella and Fennel Sausage, panna & red onion. Their taste is up there too.
It’s clear how much I love these pizzas ^^;; Foodies in LA been hyped about this pizza place for awhile and it finally opened on Tuesday (11/17)! From Famous celebrity chef Mario Batali (owner of NY’s Babbo, i.e. the Italian chef on Iron Chef USA) and Nancy Silverton (owner/pastry chef of Campanile and owner/baker of La Brea Bakery), a likely equation to offer the best pizza in LA? Since it’s brand new opening, the place is crowded and table reservation for dinner time is tough. I called on Wednesday to try to get a table for 9 people on a Thursdays night and the only opening is 11:30 pm and apparently they don’t take reservation for more than 6 people. We went for lunch instead at around 2:00 pm and it’s about 90% full, not crazily crowded.
I love the crust very much, it’s crispy and soft and rich. Of the 4 pizzas we got I love the burrata one the most as I mention up there. The mushroom and prosuitto ones are both fantastic too. I didn’t try the sausage one, the person who had it said it’s pretty good but not that great. He prefers Alessi‘s pizza. Mozza is located at where Alessi used to be at. It was a great Italian place too (read my old entry on it). I heard that the restaurant before Alessi was a really good Italian place as well. So it’s been quite a “cursed” location as these two restaurants were both good quality but couldn’t stay in business. Let’s hope Mozza would break the spell.
