Best Place for Pizza Take Out? Mozza 2Go Opens
On the southwest corner of Melrose and Highland, there's Osteria Mozza, Mozza Pizzeria and, as of yesterday, now Mozza 2Go. Eater LA visited finding that they're offering "the A-Z in gourmet Italian products, including the newly launched line of Mozza-brand edibles. Need some EVOO? Dried pasta with unpronounceable names? Canned tomatoes? Or even a cookbook? No problemo. The Batali-Bastianich-Silverton joint venture number three encompasses a small retail area plus counter where the hungry can place takeout orders from a condensed pizza menu, and/or choose from several grab-and-go salads and desserts out of a refrigerated case." Yum! Don't forget to check out their homemade recycled cooking grease soap and bacon pizza!
