This last week, I was in LA, and I went with my friend coprock to
Pizzeria Mozza, the new place opened by La Brea Bakery's Nancy Silverton & Mario Batali.

We started with a pair of great appetizers, a bruschette of white beans alla Toscana with extra virgin olive oil & saba and the mozza caprese. The bruschette was delicious and the beans were nice and creamy. The caprese was spectacular in that the mozzarella was so fresh, it was like a dollop of runny chesse. All this went nice with a glass of Barbera.

For our pizzas, we each ordered one kind and tried each others. I couldn't resist the pizza with white anchovy, tomato and hot chiles (above). It was genuinely spicy. Coprock selected the pizza with Prosciutto di Parma, rucola, tomato & mozzarella. Both were great.
Nancy Silverton supposedly devoted 2 years to finding the perfect crust- we were told it was cooked in an oven using almond wood. The crust was dashed with olive oil before cooking and it came out crispy- almost like a fried dough consistency, on the outside, and yet it also stayed chewy.

I tried to get in over the new year when I was visiting LA, but there was an hour plus wait! Oh well, those Californians could use some good pizza (besides CPK, haha)...
