There is only Valet parking so we found some street parking 0.6 miles away and had a nice walk which wasn’t bad. We ordered the Mozzarella di Bufalo because our server recommended it and boy did it live up to the expectations!! I’ve had pizza in Italy and this is the closest I’ve ever tasted in America. The Mozzarella was divine, they put such a large scoop on every slice. The crust was very airy and had the right about of crispiness with softness. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, worth the money!

Stopped by here on a weekend night near closing(I think 8/8:30) as that’s the only time they had available for reservation. The had an extensive amount of items from food to wine. We ordered some drinks first then all the other food items. I don’t know if it’s because it was busy and we stopped by near closing but I recommend ordering everything all at once via drinks and food otherwise you are going to be waiting for a LONG time just to even get your order in. The salad was more than enough to share for a table of 4. Margarita pizza was great, the crust on the pizza was quite crispy but also soft and chewy in the middle, a great tasting crush/dough overall. The fennel pizza has huge chunks for sausages that needs to be broken up, especially if you’re trying to share, tasted like a finer sausage pizza. Mushroom pizza had its own creaminess and had a bit of gaminess from the mushrooms but not over the top which I enjoyed, just enough. The lasagna looked burnt on the outside but was quite crisp and had a green/greens infused layers of pasta dough, it was creamy in its own way. You definitely need to order at least 2 to share decent portions split amongst 4 people because it was quite small. The portion of the lasagna was enough for 1 person. All were quite delicious but I’d definitely go for the margarita pizza as with the mushroom one as well. I’d definitely stop by to try some other items that also caught my eye. Decent place to stop by but depending on time of day, get ready to order all your items without pausing or waiting because you might end up waiting for a while just to get in your items.

I liked the pizza - it was really very tasty! But bring a flashlight, it was very DARK inside. We couldn't read the menu but the waitress said we did have a flashlight attachment on our phones that we could use. She said our eyes would get used to the dark. It was really strange. They serve 'their' size pizza which was huge but it was a very good price. I really liked the pizza and the sangria was very good. If only I could see more. It was very noisy (music and voices) so don't come here if you want to have a serious conversation. The biscuits (sea salt, chocolate excelsior) were very good. It was within walking distance of the Sheraton. I don't know how to rate this restaurant - I regretted not seeing and hearing in there because that would have made it great.

First of all, the food was outstanding. Everything we had was delicious. The Mozza Caprese was actually burrata so it was suggested we get the Pane Bianco with it, which I also highly recommend. The spaghetti cacio e Pepe was delicious as expected. The speck pizza was very good but did not have any base sauce. I’m not sure I’d get it again but if you like the ingredients listed on the pizza, you’ll surely enjoy it. I was surprised at the serving size of the coconut stracciatella and it was delicious. First impressions upon arrival weren’t great. There was a line of cars trying to figure out where to park. There were cars pulling forward and backward trying to make room for valet. McDonald’s and Ferrari lots have no parking available for Mozza so you’re basically left with street parking or valet. Mozza turned their parking lot into outdoor dining so they basically added more seats but removed their parking which obviously stressed the street parking situation even more. I dropped my fiancé at the door while I had to drive down the PCH quite a ways to find street parking. When I made it inside, the waitress was friendly and promptly and asked if I wanted anything besides water. I replied I needed a minute to see the menu but it ended up taking quite a long time for her to return. They sat us in the corner against the wine storage and ended up having to ask my fiancé to move twice so they could get to the wine. The bathroom was a mess. Overflowing garbage with towels all over the floor. Empty tissue box. No soap in the soap dispenser.
