Pizzeria Mozza stands as a beacon for lovers of that ancient and beloved Italian import: pizza. But to call Pizzeria Mozza just another pizza joint would be an understatement akin to calling the Pacific a pond.Mozza gleams with a sophisticated rustic charm. There’s an old-world ambiance, punctuated by modern touches, that immediately lets you know this isn’t your average neighborhood pizzeria.The centerpiece, both figuratively and literally, is the wood-fired oven. Bathed in a warm glow, it births pies that are, for lack of a better term, transcendent. The crust, with its perfect balance of chew and char, acts as the stage for toppings that dance between traditional and avant-garde. Take, for example, the pie adorned with squash blossoms and burrata — a medley of textures and flavors that feels simultaneously comforting and novel.But to focus only on the pizza would be an oversight. The antipasti, particularly the roasted carrots and avocado, showcases an understanding and celebration of fresh Californian produce. It’s a reminder that even the simplest of ingredients, when treated with reverence, can steal the show.The wine list, thoughtfully curated, offers a harmonious accompaniment to every dish. And the service? Effortlessly gracious.Pizzeria Mozza, a Nancy Silverton creation, doesn’t just serve food; it tells a story. It’s a narrative of respect for tradition, a nod to Los Angeles’ dynamic food scene, and an invitation to experience pizza as not just a casual meal, but a culinary event.In the realm of the LA dining scene, Pizzeria Mozza doesn’t just deliver; it enchants. And for anyone seeking the heartbeat of Italian fare in the City of Angels: Here lies your pulse.
