The Pizza Thread

Yummo!  No tomatoes or sauce though?

Oh, yes! Didn't mention the sauce as I thought it was a given, but now I remember that some (misguided souls) enjoy those (godawful) white pizzas. Yes, there was spicy tomatoey goodness, and sliced San Marzano tomatoes on top.

Juliana’s Brooklyn. 

nice!!!!!

OK, so the date finally came for a meet up with 1 of the good friends from these boards @ Pizzeria Mozza in LA.  Made reservations as soon as we could (30 days out) and enjoyed it very much yesterday.
Will put the apps on here as well, at least what was left before I remembered to take a few pics.

Verdict on the pizza?  it is not what most of us in America think of as pizza...but this was some of the best pizza ever.  Ingredients were amazing but we both agreed that the kicker was the crust.  A-m-a-zing.  Just crispy enough, a little puffy on the outside with just the right amount of char on the bottom.  Damn this shit was good.

Went with what our waitress suggested after discussing what we might be most down for after reading the menu.  (It all looked good!)

Meatballs al forno -- simple, but excellent.  Sorry, the forno is already gone when the pic was snapped, lol.



Bone marrow (three pieces) al forno.  (Both marrow and forno gone...served with roasted garlic, sea salt and some microgreens.  Seriously, this is heart attack food but was so good!)



Aglio e Olio w/mozzarella & fontina.  We originally were going to go a Margarita & a Prosciutto.  Waitress, wisely so, suggested that we vary our order a bit more.  This was excellent -- the flavor and smell was pretty crazy.  (Crazy/good)



The Prosciutto di Parma, Rucola, Tomato & Mozzarella.
I would roll around in this and weigh 800 pounds if I thought I would live through it.  For sure a top 10 pizza, for me.  Got this last and even though I knew I wanted to take a pic, I waited until trying. 




Multiple beers & some wine was enjoyed as well.

Great friend, great food, great pizza!  Strongly recommend.  Pizzeria Mozza -- thumbs up!

Somebody's husband scarfed down the leftovers last night

I know I said I was stuffed but by the time I was over somewhere like Ohio I wanted a few more slices!

@F Me 

Bone marrow is one of my favs!

Anybody enjoy a good Abondigas soup?  For whatever reason it doesn't exist here in NY.

Anybody know a spot?

Answered the Soup q in the Food Thread.

Bone marrow. Wow.

It seems oddly out of place (the pizzas look great- especially the waitress's recommendation).

My father is a fan, but for some reason I can't bring myself to suck it back. I commend you for doing so.
