Pizzeria Mozza

<p>A pizza place run by Mario Batali, Joseph Bastianich (Batali's partner for <a href="/restaurants/babbo-manhattan">Babbo</a> and Del Posto), and Nancy Silverton (of Campanile and La Brea Bakery)? It sounds like a fantasy, but it's not; since 2006, this dream team has been dishing up spectacular Neopolitan-style pies with puffy, charred crusts to throngs of fanatics. The toppings range from the semi-traditional (house-made fennel sausage with sweet red onions) to the creative (squash blossoms) to the <em>outré</em> (sweet Gorgonzola, radicchio, and fingerling potatoes). Be ready to wait for a table and to use your shouting voice: this place gets loud. </p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> If you'd rather sample more upscale fare from this trio of chefs, their elegant Osteria Mozza (<em>6602 Melrose Avenue; 323-297-0100</em>) opened in summer 2007.</p>
