Food was really good, and the service was great. The personality of the servers really is an important plus. My only comment - park in the neighborhood and avoid the valet, the wait to get your car can stretch to over 30 minutes.

The tables are arranged WAY too closely. I do not need to be elbow-to-elbow with the table next to me. Further, the table I was sat at was clearly meant for a 3 top but they proceeded to seat my party of 4 there. This was evident by the fact that there was no chair or setting for the 4th guest when we were brought to the table. I also was continuously bumped throughout the entire meal by the FOH staff due to being sat in the middle of the flow of traffic.

As always, a great experience at Pizzeria Mozza. Ate outside for first time, and despite the alley view, it was actually a bit quieter than indoors and a bit less cramped. And easier to hear the really great playlist, which included a lot of Florence and the Machine on this night. Pizzas were outstanding as always. And budino, gelato and sorbet didn't disappoint.

Loved our pizzas and our server was kind and outgoing, albeit slightly aloof at a critical moment. Only snafu was that our appetizer (can’t remember name) of some small dried tomatoes, burrata (a quite large ball of it) and scant piece of toast cut in two, was extremely overpriced, while also strangely proportioned, at $29 - more than each pizza. The toast didnt come near to being enough for the amount of cheese and dipping oil still sitting there tempting us after having devoured the toasts in what seemed like a flash (all delicous by the way). Since the pizzas then took about another 20-25 minites to arrive, I was left at the table with a crazy gaping hunger pang, which could have easily been resolved with just another piece of toast or basic bread, but waiter was nowhere to be found, or when he was we couldnt get his attention. All cares were forgotten, of course, after pizzas arrived, but the uncomfortable feeling of everyone else around feasting the heck out while I couldn’t get waiter’s attention for some bread, did indeed provoke a sour feeling. . But even with that in mind, I look forward to returning… will just make sure to ask about sizing and proportions of dishes next time. And will possibly need to be less polite with waitstaff if ignored or forgotten. I suggest others do the same, as this place is a well oiled machine by now with a highly professionalized team.

Good but not great. Like that the wine list is extensive but the waiter didn’t know how to pour. He spilt a bit and kept refilling our glasses when they were still more than half full. Rushed! The vodka pasta dish was the best. Like that the online menu states what is vegan/vegetarian but the in restaurant doesn’t. Fortunately the wait staff knew. Pizza was tasty but not Pizzana level at all! It was my birthday and they knew but didn’t offer a free love of cake or anything. Quite sad when when you spend way over $300! We were talking about returning bc of the pasta but it took over 20 minutes to get our car! The valet worked hard but definitely short staffed. Not sure if it was the restaurant or valet company but there were about 50 people outside the restaurant waiting. Again, good but not great. We’ve been there before on about two occasions. Recall the past visits being better…

One of the best dining experiences you will have!! The food is simply incredible, the service extremely friendly & efficient, the experience perfect!!! Best Margarita Pizza out there, from homemade mozzarella to the richest, tastiest sauce on any pizza anywhere! No clinkers anywhere, a tightly-oiled machine that never loses its friendliness or courtesy. The perfect dining experience in all ways!!

Having always enjoyed Mozza and needing a restaurant to take out of town friends I made a reservation for dinner in the Pizzeria. We ordered a tricolore salad that was not tricolore...and was overdressed. We ordered the famous Nancy meatballs that were sadly dry... we ordered the squash blossom pizza and margerita pizza that both were sadly cold. We could not win last night. I did not complain as it was very busy. The server was the best thing of the evening. I live in the neighborhood and have depended on Mozza for excellent quality. 200.00 for a bottle of Rose and one salad, one meatball and two pizzas should have been better quality.

Amazing food, better service, standard drinks. Beer and wine and the selected mixed drink. No liquor, which isn't a deal breaker at all, but if you want delicious food with fantastic ingredients paired with great Italian wine, go to nancys.

Great innovative pizza recipes. We were in the side room. Unfortunately, next to a very loud family and the small room acoustics made the experience very unpleasant. Service was subpar. Pushing very hard to order alcohol that we were not interested in. Overall experience was better than average, needs location upgrades.

Food was just OK. Ordered the polenta fritti and while it was very tasty the portion was shockingly small for the price. You get 4 very tiny triangles at $4 each. Margherita pizza could've used more of the fresh mozza. Other pizzas were fine but just ok.

While the food was good as usual, one of the wine glasses broke on the table. I called the waiter over to take the broken glass. She didn’t even ask as to whether any glass got into our food or seemed at all concerned that it may have. The right thing to have done would have been to take the food away as a caution and bring new food. Not at all professional or safe.

Delicious food, excellent service, not quite as much ambience in the wine cellar themed room where we were seated as in the main one but it’s quieter. Best place to sit is on the bar stools so you can see what’s happening in the kitchen. Parking via valet.

A lot has changed. Been going there for 15 or more years. Menu smaller. Salads half the size that they used to be and more expensive. My last couple times the pizza was salty and on the margherita pizza, cheese cold and not melted. They had a good run but it’s obvious that they were so successful and are now running on fumes and lazily depending on past fortunes. Was once my favorite pizza in LA but not today.

Alas, Mozza is a casualty of its own hype. *Such* a disappointment. We weren't butt-sin-seats before they wanted our drink orders, and it felt rushed from there on. We ordered the tricolore salad which was, but shouldn't have been, the best thing we ate all night. The fried squash blossoms were far too salty (and I love salt) and super greasy, and the oil tasted terrible. The pizza -- that world famous pizza --- well, for 30 bucks, it should have knocked our socks off, but it didn't. It was fine, but not memorable or even particularly good, and as the one thing that wasn't rushed, it showed up lukewarm - kiss of death for a pizza. To top it off, it took 30 mins for my car to show up at the valet. My party and I left bummed and in some ways, really cynical; foodie culture in LA has become so self satisfied, it's as if the food doesn't even matter anymore. Ya put it on Instagram, say "I went there." No thanks. I'll take the pizza at Silverlake neighborhood eatery Blair's, any day.

Bianco vs Mozza Both are spectacular...there is no doubt. And they are not the same approach to pizza. For my money, I give Mozza the slight edge. First, you can plan for the experience because they take reservations. I highly recommend the pizza counter so you can watch an incredibly efficient kitchen in action in real time. We got a salad to start and a lovely dessert to finish - both well done. But the pizza...good enough to make you weep in public. The crust is perfectly baked and SO flavorful...just a little sweet. We got two pizza's and I expected the fennel sausage pie to be the clear winner. But it was the Margherita that stole the show. No parlor tricks...no exotic ingredients. Just perfectly sourced ingredients, seasoned to perfection and combined into 10" of perfection (insert joke here). Best pizza I've ever had.
