Pizzeria Mozza, helmed by culinary queen Nancy Silverton, serves up artisanal wood-fired pizzas and tantalizing antipasti in a laid-back vibe that’s pure LA charm.
"Let us be very clear. Pizzeria Mozza is good. The pizzas are built beautifully, most of them taste like you want them to, and you’ll walk out of that door satisfied. The space is classy yet casual. It’s suitable for anything from a first date to a casual business meeting, to an impromptu solo dinner at the bar after a nice little trip to Wi Spa. But if you’re looking for truly spectacular pizza, head to one of these places instead. " - brant cox
"Your Order: Nancy’s Chopped Salad Inspired by La Scala’s classic chop, Nancy’s chopped salad at Pizzeria Mozza is the kind of salad that could constitute an entire meal, and somehow manages to push the limits of what a salad even is. Sure, there’s lettuce, but there’s also (thankfully) a whole lot of salami and provolone to cancel it out. It’s a balanced meal in salad form, and might just be better than its original inspiration." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, nikko duren
"This is Giada’s favorite pizza in Los Angeles, and we definitely recommend ordering the goat cheese and leek pie if it’s available. But don’t skip the other corners of the menu, either. The delicate meatballs al forno come out in scalding hot tomato sauce with a tower of cheesy, chewy sesame bread, and Nancy’s Chopped Salad is a classic of the form." - brennan carley
"“I’m a fan of Nancy Silverton, so whatever she does, I’m inclined to love. I’ve known her for many years now. She spent a year working on Pizzeria Mozza’s dough before she let anyone taste it. I was one of the people she let taste her pizza the first day it was ready. It was the best pizza I’d ever had up until that point. I had just come back from Italy. My daughter Lily was a little girl, and she said, ‘No offense to Italy, but this is a little better.’ That’s now a quote outside the restaurant. I think that fennel sausage pizza is pretty special. It has a unique flavor I love, but they’re all great.”" - sylvio martins
"This London outpost of Nancy Silverton’s much-loved LA restaurant is all about pizza. Located in The Treehouse Hotel on Langham Place—aptly replacing a Pizza Express—it’s a decent spot to pop in for a pane bianco with extra virgin olive oil and a napolitana pizza if you’re in the area. The interior is warm and cosy, with hanging lights, a wood-fired oven and strong second date potential. And those with a serious sweet tooth will appreciate the dessert offerings, specifically the excellent butterscotch budino." - Rianne Shlebak
