Optimal Pizza
Typically, when LA restaurants are the best for a brief moment, you find that they are filled with snooty staff, bad attitude and OK food with a gimic. Instead, Pizzeria Mozza is quite simply some of the best pizza you will ever taste in LA with a superlative waitstaff and huge wine selection. It's that good. Problems: very large lines for walk-ins, even during dead hours. If not, you definitely need a reservation. Hint: show up between 2:30 and 4:30 PM. Additionally there is no nearby parking and LA just made all of the nearby meters one hour, so don't count on street parking. Be prepared to use the valet. However, the food is divine and worth it. I have had the mushroom and salami pizzas and they are both great; the salads are huge and the butterscotch budino dessert is worth killing for!
