Pizzeria Mozza ~ 120511

As I still owe Ms STM a birthday treat, I decided to treat her to dinner @ the much raved about pizza place in town! ~ Pizzeria Mozza @ MBS! =) Has heard from friends that the restaurant was always packed hence I had made a reservation beforehand. We reached there at around 630pm & the restaurant was already quite crowded (luckily we had a reservation) & were ushered to sit "by the window" ;)

Look at how crowded the restaurant was!

A"package" spotted on the table for each guest?! ~ LOL, that's actually to contain the utensils, interesting find ;)

A package for guest? LOL

The restaurant provided complimentary Bread sticks served in paper bags. These bread sticks (with herbs) were thin & rather crispy. For me, they tasted very much like Pretzels!

Being a seafood lover, we ordered the Mussels al forno ($18) for starters & it was indeed a good choice! Ms STM was commenting on how fresh & tender the mussels were! If you look closely, you would have realized that the colour of the mussel shells differed from that of the usual green ones that were normally served. Perhaps that's what made all the difference! The Salsa calabrese sauce also made a difference to this dish, do try it for yourself! ;)

Woohoo...MUSSELS~

Look at how fat the mussel was!

The highlight of today's dinner was of course....the PIZZA!!! After much deliberation (since it was our 1st time here), we decided on the Benno Pizza ($35). The Benno Pizza consisted of sausages, pineapples, mozzarella cheese, jalapeno & tomato sauce. As both of us do not take jalapeno, we requested to take that out. As each pizza was "hand made" from scratch & then put into the big wooden oven (yes, right in the restaurant itself!), it took around 20 mins for it to come.

The wait was definitely worthwhile! The pizza was huge (cut into 4 big slices) & look at the outer big crust! What was amazing was that no doubt the outer crust was huge, the inner crust was so thin that I could barely lift it without the ingredients dropping all over ;) The outer crust was airy & fluffy & I am not exaggerating when I said we were practically "gawking" at each bite! LOL. That was how good it was! The ingredients of the pizza were also not what we had expected it to be! One can barely see the pineapples (unlike other pizzas)! The pineapples were so thinly sliced that it blended in with the dough & it tasted very SWEET & JUICY! *thumbs UP* Next, the sausages....haha, I would call them meatballs instead! Look at those minced meat on top of the pizza, each mouthful was soft & infused with herbs! =)

Look @ the crust & ingredients ;)

The pizza was an absolute winner for the evening! We thoroughly enjoyed it (no doubt we were not entirely full) & would definitely be back for more! Service staff were also friendly & service was prompt too! If you are a Pizza lover, do come here & try it for yourself. Do remember to call & make a reservation beforehand! ;)
