The food, ambiance, and service are great! We love the portion size of the pasta; it is not too filling. However, $13 for a valet (which is the only available parking) is ridiculous.

The pizza was the best thing we ate. The meatballs had no flavor, the octopus was overcooked, hard and salty, the fried zucchini was just ok. We sat outside which was a little loud because of the traffic.

Tables were spaced too closely together. The person to my right was obnoxiously loud and diminished our dining experience. We ate as quickly as possible, just so we could leave. I felt bad for his date who spoke little English and in my opinion didn’t know how to get out of the date! The people two my left felt the same as we talked about our dining experience in the parking lot. I’ve eaten at NB Mozza before and it was excellent! Food was great and the dining experience was excellent.

This was a very disappointing visit. The courgette fritters were black. The fennel pizza was overcooked and the cacao Pepe was dry with no sauce. The best bit was the focaccia We had been so looking forward to returning to Mozza but it has became another American chain with little quality control.

We’re a family escorted to the bar by a young clueless teenager acting as a Receptionist Door Manager. He couldn’t find Hospitality with a road map. We passed about 5 unoccupied unattended set tables and told we must sit individually at the bar. We asked the Pretended Manager for a cooked pizza dough called “Schiacciata” to eat with their Prosciutto di Parma and mozzarella antipasto just like they serve at the Los Angeles Pizzeria Mozza. He responds, yes I’m familiar with it, but unfortunately we can’t do anything at all without expressed consent approval from the boss Silverton. There’s no real owner on the premises that cares either about the customers or the business. There’s an old Italian saying “The eye of the owner makes the horse grow bigger and stronger.”

Pizzeria Mozza did not disappoint. We had high expectations and they were exceeded. The food was amazing- simple, fantastic ingredients prepared perfectly. We had the chopped salad, bread and garlic knots, the Salame and the meat lovers pizzas, the butterscotch budino, the apple pie and the cookies. The atmosphere is very humble, not pretentious at all (and it could be). The music playlist was at the perfect volume and was a series of classic feel good songs (Eric Clapton, Ray LaMontagne, Adele) that really topped it. The service was precise yet humble. We will definitely visit again when in Newport. Our kids, 2 boys aged 7 and 9, said it was better than Disneyland which we had just spent 2 days at ❤️

We tried Mozza for the first time this week. The food was very good, and we all enjoyed the pizzas. Service was fantastic and we felt taken care of. I know this is not anything the restaurant can necessarily control, and it's Newport Beach,so probably trivial to regular customers (or not important to people who can walk there), but $13.00 for valet parking is a bit steep and actually would cut down on the number of times we will return in the future.

I probably went in with expectations that were too high. We sat outside on a busy highway street and the small patio was very loud. The passion fruit drink I had was amazing, but the pizza and pasta we ordered were just ok. The meats on the pizza were very flavorful though and our waiter was very sweet. We will not be going back
