When my date suggested pizza, I hung the little black dress back up and reluctantly slipped back into my skinnies.  However, I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled up to Pizzeria Mozza, a noticeably stylish restaurant met with a bustling line out the door of a myriad of young Angelenos:  suited up professionals and fashion-forward couples.  Immediately, I knew that Pizzeria Mozza is not your average straight-up pizza kitchen.

First thing’s first: don’t miss the wine menu!  Pizzeria Mozza is known for its extensive wine list and feel free to ask your server for a few samples of some of their more rare selections before getting a bottle for the table.  For starters, go for the melt-in-your-mouth crispy goat cheese antipasti ($12) or the eggplant caponata ($8) to share before delving into the sensational pizza selections.

The pizza selection is overwhelming and anything but your usual pepperoni (think wild nettles and funghi misti) – but with prices between $10-$22 and selections fit for foodies, you can afford to take chances.  A favorite is the Squash blossoms, tomato & burrata pizza – a thin-crusted pizza satisfyingly full of the freshest flavors. For an impressible (and might we add, hip) experience, try Pizzeria Mozza. Reservations are a must.
