Pizzeria Mozza

641 N. Highland Ave.
L.A., CA 90036
(323) 297-0101
Website
It is almost impossible to have a civil discussion about pizza in this city of immigrants, because there may be no foodstuff so intimately linked to one's sense of identity. But in the wood oven at Pizzeria Mozza, Nancy Silverton has more or less reinvented the very idea of pizza, airy and burnt and risen around the rim, thin and crisp in the center, neither bready in the traditional Neapolitan manner nor wispy the way you find pizza in the best places in Tuscany. The crust is sweet and bitter, salty and chewy, circled by crunchy charred bubbles. Every pizza at Mozza is a unique marriage of flour, salt and hot-burning almond wood, stretched into irregular discs, as individually lovable as children. The crust is so good, in fact, that it may be at its best dressed with nothing more than a drizzle of good olive oil and a few grains of sea salt — though it's not sad to eat topped with burrata and vivid squash blossoms, taleggio and house-made sausage, lardo and rosemary. or pureed anchovies and fried egg. (The mandatory caveat applies here: Silverton is a family friend.) This isn't the pizza you used to eat back in Jersey, and that, perhaps, is the point. - Jonathan Gold

The Inside Word on Pizzeria Mozza

    I love their eggplant caponata. Their garlic bread is to die for drenched in extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and amazingness! the atmosphere was a little loud, but fun if going with a group of friends.

    If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation (just say you’re calling from Mark Taylor Jackson’s office – it works for my assistant!) this is one of the best eateries in town. Mouth-watering cheese, delicious pizza and a wine list that makes me want to get into wine and buy a home with a wine cellar (which I will do one day.)
