Pizzeria Mozza is a bustling, urban burst of flavor and color. Open noon to midnight, seven days a week, Pizzeria Mozza is the perfect atmosphere - whether it be a business lunch or late night snack. The wine bar provides a vibrant venue for sampling from a selection of 50 Italian wines at $50 and under, but don't forget about the ample offering of salumi and pizza.
"Mozza Pizzeria is trendy and hip, noisy and cramped; all of my least favorite attributes in a restaurant. However, the pizza is perfection, and the service is not as snooty as you'd expect. And on top of it all, the desserts are simply amazing."

"Revisited and rediscovered the wonderful flavors of well-executed Italian home-cooking. One little glitch reflective of an absence of genuine hospitality and appreciation for patronage, following our meal, our request for a spoonful of olive oil gelato to accompany our order of a three-scoop gelato combination to share, was denied by the chef. Give me a break!"

"I keep coming back to Pizzeria Mozza because it is consistently delicious. I absolutely love it for lunch and it's easier to get into for lunch than for dinner."

"A busy, vibrant, lucrative business is what every owner wants. However, the plan needs to be completely thought through. Your valet parking situation is unnecessarily tense. While waiting for our car, we were serenaded by the horns of irate northbound Highland Ave. drivers trying to turn left onto Melrose. After the car arrived, we were 'given' the car in the street! All that value for a Hollywood-priced $10 valet fee is pretty low value. But, hey. The restaurant is great."

"I come here regularly but won't for much longer unless they replace some of their rude, ungracious hosts. In the past 6 months, I've had two inexcusable seating experiences (both with reservations): once I was given unacceptable attitude and nonservice by Kali when I requested to sit at the bar instead of the tiny crowded in the middle of the room two top she was seating me at (Instead of saying certainly and leading me to the empty bar, she mumbled something about wanting to seat walk-ins there AND LEFT ME STANDING THERE);another time,I made a reservation for 6 and was told (in a very rude and disrespectful tone), upon arrival that my party would be split into two tables!!"

"I sat at the pizza bar and the food & service were outstanding! I counted 5 different people that took my order, brought by the food, cleared the plates and brought the check. The pizza was the best I have ever had and the squash blossom appetizer was outstanding! A fun a lively place, it could not have been better."

"I'd been wanting to try this place for ever as good pizza is hard to find. The pizza was great. Perfect crust and not overwhelmed with sauce or cheese. I was disappointed in the deserts. The butterscotch budino is legendary, and I'm not sure what the big deal is. The caramel sundae was good but too salty. It's covered in salted peanuts which usually i'd love but they were REALLY salty to the point of overwhelming. The seating is really, really tight. Only other complaint is that my husband asked for a recommendation for a glass of wine and they gave the most expensive one. So, decide on your own unless you want to be up-sold!"

"I felt rushed the whole time! Not only do they charge $30 for corkage (with the excuse that their food is specifically paired to the wines they choose), you have about 5 different people serving you. The bus boys and the waiters are always looking around, looking at your table, waiting for you to be done so that they can pick it up as soon as you lift the fork off of your plate to eat your last bite. The food was fine - not so much true Italian food as it is California-Italian. I had very high expectations of this place coming, considering the rave reviews and popularity, and I was let down."

"Too bad that the meat lovers pizza and the eggplant were so garlicy. Garlic should be subtle in my opinion. The Bianco sauce was outstanding. Loved the light as air crust. Butterscotch budino was wonderful dessert."

"This was our second time at Pizzeria Mozza and not quite up to the same standard as our first visit. The mussel appetizer was a little chewy and the sauce used was a bit too spicy for most tastes. I had this on our first visit and it was amazing then. While the pizzas we selected were good, the desserts were the highlight of the meal. Our server was only fair, but the support wait staff were excellent and very attentive without being overbearing. We'll certainly come back again, but hopefully with an experience that matches our first visit and not our latest one."

"I dont know about everybody but when i go out i like to eat delicious food. My cousin recommended this place to me so i took my beautiful date there friday night (6/07/13). Two days later im still thinking about every item. Who makes garlic bread like they do? Im probably never going to find such awesome garlic bread so i will definitely be back. It just shows how they treat every item served as if it was the main course. Every item we ordered was better than i could have anticipated. From appetizers to dessert, it was a mind blowing experience for my tastebuds. it was a great dining experience.
FYI i guess its always busy so make a reservation. I did online through open table. easy."

"Heavenly. If I were to die tomorrow I'd do it knowing I'd had the most satisfying meal ever. The pizza - with thyme, fontina and mozzraella was devine, the daily special of eggplant parmigiana superb. We also had the salade mista to start , dressed with a hint of lemon and olive oil, and three flavors gelati for desert, made fresh daily -- our favorite was the gelato with olive oil and salt. The two of us shared each dish and it was more than ample. It was my friend's birthday, and it couldn't have been a better celebration. The ambiance was lively but somehow the acoustics allowed for intimate table conversation and a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for any type occasion. Oh yes, and great service, too."

"They've just nailed it with Mozza, everything you've heard is right. Everything on the menu is spectacular, and even though it's a pizzeria, the small plates and dishes are the stars here. If you haven't been just go. And the fact they've maintained the same level of excellence in the years they've been open is a testament to how great this place is."

"The two of us had a great lunch, the food at Mozza is always sublime. We had a waiter who accommodated our need to have a private conversation. He wasn't pushy and did not rush us out of the restaurant. Outstanding wine selection for a lunch meal; the bartender suggested a few and the one we selected was perfect."

"An established fixture in LA well worth the time spent early on making a reservation well in advance. Crowded, lively with wonderful thin crust artisan pizzetta's and bruscetta's. Wonderful House salads and fabulous Ricotta Squash Blossoms as an app. Killer Butterscotch Budino as a dessert! Service is done in a teamlike fashion and is efficient and professional."

"I know your staff is tasked with turning the tables as quick as they can but I found the hostess' constant questioning of my incomplete party quite irritating. 5 people seated 6th on the way, we were only delayed by the hostess prolonged questioning while we were trying to finalize what we eventually ordered. Went to Newport Tan Cang the following day, they earned a 20% tip from me on a $490.00 tab. Improve your service or people will stay away inspire of the food. Plenty of wood fired oven pizzas out there these days."

"With a menu mostly in Italian and full on "Foodie" oriented, a little more patience and assistance from our server would have been appreciated. That said, we had a great time at the counter watching the pizza's and appetizers being constructed. The food was indeed, delicious and the gelato truly memorable."

"I have eaten at both Osteria and Pizzeria several times. I find the staff in the Pizzeria to be more friendly, accommodating and helpful. As there was a bit of delay in getting our table ready in Pizzeria we walked over to the Osteria for a drink (only wine in the Pizzeria). The hostess and bartender both were a bit rude despite our spending $80 in 2 minutes. We quickly made our way back to the Pizzeria where we enjoyed a delicious meal and bottle of wine. I thoroughly enjoy the Pizzeria."

"We had a reservation, but arrived 20 minutes early, and we were seated promptly. Gem salad with dates was fresh and Goat cheese with lentils appetizers were excellent. Pizza had delicious toppings, and a perfect crust that was reminiscent of pizza we've had in Italy. We shared two desserts, their taste and combination of sweet and salty were outstanding. Our server was one of the best I have had at any restaurant, at any price point. If you're down in the Hollywood area on a weekend day, Pizza Mozza is relaxed, energetic, and a good bet for an excellent meal."

"Amazing Pizzas and starters, service is great - only possible problem is the tables are crammed in real tight - don't expect to have a private conversation. So you take a break from talking about work and just concentrate on what you are ordering next like the butterscotch budino for dessert."

"Pizzeria Mozza. A fine and noisy meal can be had at pizzeria Mozza. On our second meal there we were a party of four and had better and more attentive service than the previous visit and equally excellent food. The wine prices are steep but interesting choices make up for that. We drank a lovely Lagrein from the alto adige. The pizzas are among the better pies I have eaten in the States with hand stretched crust and cooked in their wood fired oven. The tri color salad is not to missed. Desserts are excellent. In a heart beat I would eat here again."

"The food-- absolutely amazing. The pane Bianco, the the meatballs, the crispy goat cheese with Umbrian lentils...it was all incredible. We went there to celebrate my mothers birthday, as per her choice because she has been such a loyal customer of Mozza for a long time. But from the moment we walked in, the hostess had an attitude about her that you would expect from a 14 year old girl. Not an employee of a 5 star restaurant. They placed our large party at a table in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the restaurant after I specified that it was a birthday and we wanted it to be a bit more private and special."

"We came for the food and were not disappointed. The field greens in the salad are fresh and tender, the dressing light and tasty. The Bianco Dinapoli Pomodoro pizza is made with simple, high quality ingredients, very flavorful with a beautifully crisp crust. The pizza size is considered a single serving but we are small eaters and one was sufficient to share. We were glad to have made reservations as the lunch crowd comes early - by 12:30 the space was mostly full. We are visiting from out of state. If we lived in LA, we would eat here regularly."

"The food here is, in a word, awesome. Start with the chopped salad, end with the butterscotch dessert, in between get two pizzas (one being the white with sage). You'll have leftovers, so you'll be happy for two meals instead of one.
Beware: even if you have a reservation, if you eat at peak (read, normal) mealtimes, expect to wait. The past two times I have gone there for lunch I have waited 30+ minutes past my reservation time. The hostesses are perfectly pleasant and apologetic, but clearly they overbook. You can eat at the bar without a reservation. Best bet is to eat at 2:45 after the lunch crowd is gone.
There is 2-hour free street parking on Highland during the day. At night you are pretty much stuck with the $10 valet."
