Pizzeria Mozza

Last weekend my husband, my mom and I traveled to LA for my sister's (and future husband's) wedding shower. The weekend was great and the shower was fantastic! I think it was the best wedding shower (especially for a couple) that I have ever been to!

On Saturday, we also threw them a delicious pre-wedding dinner at Pizzeria Mozza. For those of you who have never heard of this place, it is hand's down one of the best places I have ever eaten at in my life. One thing is for sure, Mario Batali sure knows his food.

The restaurant is family style, which means you put your order in (since this was a private party, we did this ahead of time) and they just bring out food for everyone to share. We started with some delicious appetizers of Fried Squash Blossoms, Bruschetta, a prosciutto plate and a small salad, then moved onto the most delicious caprese salad I have ever tasted.

The cheese was a burrata instead of mozzarella, and boy did it makes a difference. Then onto the copious amounts of pizza - 4 different kinds to be exact - yum!

As for dessert, I don't think the restaurant should be allowed to serve it anymore, as it is probably the most addicting dessert of all time. Butterscotch Budino, foreign to me before the night, has quickly overtaken molten lava cake as my favorite dessert.

Overall, even though I love Mario Batali's east coast pizzeria Otto, I think Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles takes the cake! (or dare I say Budino???)
