The pizzas are innovative and filled with glorious gastronomic delights, and yet they are not heavy. Ingredients are ensconced in a pizza crust that is airy and unforgettable. The innocent sounding gelato dessert was outrageous berry hedonism. The waitstaff sublime. Thank you Nancy Sullivan!

The food and service is consistently excellent. The restaurant was a bit chilly because of the need to keep air circulation flowing. I would highly recommend the restaurant...the pizzas are invredible!

The food was all beautifully prepared with amazing ingredients however with the exception of the garganelli (which was fantastic) it was all shockingly, overwhelmingly, inedibly salty. Service was great, ambiance was great. Food would have been great, with the seasoning toned back quite a bit.

The service and food were great. They were very accommodating when we had a minor emergency that forced us to have to push back our reservation. We ate outside which was nice and quiet and they had a lot of heaters to keep us warm. Inside was a bite louder.

Ate dinner in the parking lot. Remember that if you request to sit outside. We were charged for an extra beer that we didn't drink so review your check. Service was very attentive. Sunchokes and Chopped Salad were tasty. Fennel sausage and onion pizza was okay. Less slivers of scallions would be better. Made each bite overly stringy. Dough was solid and delicious as to be expected. Strawberry gelato pie was sooo good. Would go back for that alone. Maybe get it "to go" and sit on the sidewalk next time. ;)

We always have a wonderful meal at Mozza. The service is impeccable (Christo is our fav but they ate all great!). Order a Rosita cocktail and sit and enjoy a Caprese salad and melt in your mouth yummy Pane Bianco before your meal. Sun chokes are also a fav! Get there early and sit at the pizza bar or make sure you have a reservation. You won’t be sorry!

Only had four high chairs and all were being occupied. Had to use our stroller for my daughter’s seat which was not ideal. Hostess and who appeared to be the manager did not try to help the situation or find a solution. It was clear neither of them had kids and how frustrating this was. I understand this isn’t known to be a kid-friendly restaurant but they need more than four high chairs. My first Mother’s Day dinner was less than ideal.

The pizza and appetizers were fantastic. We love the pizza and also the Barada. The service was outstanding. The ambience can use a lot of work where the outside area was only half utilized and looks like we were sitting in a parking lot. Needs a lot of improvement for the cost of the food. The chicken was a little disappointing and a bit bland. The best part of the evening was the pizza and the service. The gelato was a great finish.

What a special treat. Mozza’s “funghi misti, fontina, taleggio and thyme” arguably the best mushroom pizza on this planet! Wow. Move over napoletana it’s time to make room for Nancy Silverton’s creations. Quality across the board. Absolutely terrific offerings. Thank you.

Pizza quality is average but overpriced. There are many pizza options nearby that are of similar or better quality for less money. The “valet only” parking option that costs $11 is also a complete rip-off. Definitely avoid Pizzeria Mozza unless you WANT to pay for overpriced mediocre pizza. The competition for high end pizza has really picked up and this place is stuck in early 2000s quality but charging 2022 prices. They need to really revamp their menu
