Widely recognized as one of the best pizzerias in the country, Pizzeria Mozza is known for its California ingredients and a much-talked-about crust.
In the words of the New York Times’s Frank Bruni: “[the crust is] soft chewy in spots, crisply charred in others, ever so faintly sweet, even more faintly sour.” “Both tender and crackling crisp on the bottom, blistered and smoky from the wood-burning oven” wrote the Los Angeles Times in its 2007 review.
Pizzeria Mozza is an expression of Nancy Silverton’s unique aesthetic and approach to cooking: focused but not fussy, straightforward and always uncompromising.

In Short
Mario Batali (Babbo) and Nancy Silverton (Campanile, La Brea Bakery) are combining their love of authentic Italian food and artisanal breads to proffer what could be L.A.'s best pizza. The colorful restaurant welcomes… Read Full Editorial

Amazing all around
fine food but didn't live up to the hype by maybell via Citysearch on 7/17/2011
I was thrilled to be sitting at Mozza Pizzeria on a Saturday night! After at least a couple of years or more of hearing about how great it is I couldn't wait!
Our server was really good, she was patient, answered a few questions we had…
Great Food by ChrysWhims via Citysearch on 4/7/2011
Great Pizza Place. Real Crowded but the Desserts made up for it.
Had a great time at Mario Batali?s Pizzeria Mozza tonight! by Kellerconnection via Citysearch on 1/16/2011

Crispy goat cheese with Umbrian lentils to start,
Then two kinds of Pizza?s: Coach farm goat cheese, leeks, scallions, garlic & bacon and Fennel sausage, panna, red onion & scallions…
Great Service, Vibrant, Fennal Sausage Pizza by LaCienega via Citysearch on 8/30/2010
Our party of four was treated well ----- If you want a quieter spot Try a seat in the wine cellar style area behind a wall at the rear -- The main dining area is vibrant and full of activity and madness----- wine list reasonable, pleasant…
Rushed by Kid McGuire via Citysearch on 8/30/2010
Thursday at Mozza in LA. Well, worse than "eh" really. Mildly upsetting. 5:45 sitting The whole focus of the meal was to move us along and get us out before the 8:00 sitting. Everything about the service was wrong. The waiter wanted…
Can't Get A Res? Sit At The Bar! by Kika Davis 2 via Citysearch on 6/1/2010
The mecca for all high-end pizza in LA, Pizzeria Mozza sure aint your weekly delivery place (and if it is, make sure I'm invited to your next house party). Reservations are highly required if you sit at a table - otherwise try for the bar…
Beyond overrated! by Kasra Saboktakin via Citysearch on 4/15/2010
I was very tempted when I heard about this place, especially after looking at the pictures on the internet. To my disappointment, this place is way overrated.
I checked the working hours online and it said that they're open till midnight.…
pizza pretends to be a NY pizza by susanora via Citysearch on 3/19/2010
this pizza fools you for a second, nice crust, great smell, then you taste it, you think you just drank a glass of wine. i hate pizza that tries to taste like something it's not, and i hate alcohol, so that's too bad, it could have been a…
Terrific by ModernRafe via Citysearch on 2/28/2010
I went here last weekend for dinner with friends and had the prosciutto- I was feeling a bit brave, I usually never order things that I'm not used to. To my delight it was absolutely delicious! The staff were so accommodating and…
Cupcake incident by Chubblewub via Citysearch on 12/7/2009
I've been a avid fan of this place for years now. I've gone for every Valentine's Day, birthday, Anniversary and whenever out of town friends are in LA. Just went for my birthday and had a very unfortunate experience which I will refer…
The BEST! by JAG099 via Citysearch on 10/21/2009
As long as you phone ahead and speak to someone, you will get a reservation and believe me, there is no wait once you have one. You arrive, you sit, and like me you'd enjoy a glass of Prosecco and begin tasting what Mozza has to offer on…
felf unwanted and a bit akward by destroe via Citysearch on 8/22/2009
So we ended up going because a co-worker said it was the best pizza in town. Rushed home after work, picked up the wife and went to the restaurant. I guess from reading all the other reviews we were lucky to be given a 30 minute wait. That…
Hurrah! for Nancy Silverton by mancina via Citysearch on 6/10/2009
Oh, my. The first time I ate here it literally changed my life (in a small but significant way.)
I am a pastry chef myself, and for the last two years I've been forced, in my current job, to make all the pizzas at a very busy…
who books for a slive of pizza a month in advance ..? by martinilvr via Citysearch on 3/2/2009
How many of you have gotten this restaurants "we dont have any reservations available except 5pm and 10pm?" ... well I can say I have gotten this everytime I have called. I call horse pucky. I am in this business and know that there is not…
best pizza in la by tyro1 via Citysearch on 1/14/2009
freshest ingredients makes this the best pizza in los angeles, especially when the owner is there to oversee the pizzas that come out the oven.
Great Pizza!! by troywarkentin via Citysearch on 12/8/2008
Really enjoy the pizza and the atmosphere at Mozza. Over the course of my visits there I have had the Fennel Sausage, the Prosciutto, and the Tomato Mozzarella pies, all very good. Sit at the bar if the wait for a table is too long, the…
