Mozza

Since I've arrived in LA, everyone has been saying Mozza is the place for pizza.  Coming from NYC, I was wary but I'll try any Batali-backed Nancy Silverton restaurant once.  I went for lunch with my buddy from E! and was happy with our selections.  She suggested the squash blossom and burrata pie.

Oooo I loved the combination.  Crust was a little fluffy for my NY sentiment but it didn't stop me from digging in for seconds.  The wobbly burrata atop the baked blossoms, once spread out, really made for a perfect lunch pie.


I wanted the mushroom pie... my friend doesn't know I always get the funghi option - but she perked up when I mentioned 'shrooms and and so I followed through.

The flavors - mushrooms, taleggio and thyme - were well balanced... and familiar.  I guess this is classic combo (seen it at Otto for one) but it was nonetheless satisfying.  She ended up being more into mine and I, hers. But all in all the place was solid.  I dug the airy vibe, high ceiling and friendly waitstaff.  I liked the size of the pies (if a touch pricey) but I guess with big names comes bigger profit margins. And nothing will ever be DiFara.
