Pizzeria Mozza: In Want of A Wow Pizza

As I stepped into Pizzeria Mozza I was knee deep in the Los Angeles portion of my West Coast escapade.  By then, my stomach was well-coated with some of LA’s greatest culinary offerings; but, that didn’t diminish my anticipation for this pie.  Stationed just off Melrose Ave, one of Hollywood’s many famed thoroughfares, Mozza is …

Subtly tucked into a corner next to Buckhead’s year-old La Fourchette is Tartufo Pizzeria.  Since we first heard about Tartufo back in late May, the pizza parlor has grown from an abstract idea into a concrete and fully operational business.

Double Zero Napoletana Restaurant Review – Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]

Let me lay the groundwork for a shinning example of a faux pas.  Restaurant provides you with an abridgement of pizza history, aromatic fluff words and descriptors worthy of a James Cameron romance flick.  In accordance with strict guidelines for Napoletana pizza, said restaurant will not serve sliced pizza or pizza in to-go boxes.  A …
