Their 2 go pizzas had always been the same size as far as I recall.

Oh, so there was more stuff? While I wasn’t super offended by the Mozza op-ed, knowing that he had a history of that would cause me to think differently… 
Possibly this one.

Really? Down-hill-alert already? Trying to recoup and stay afloat after the loss and everything they’ve been thru. Ya’ll are a tough crowd.

@paranoidgarliclover Joe Rosenthal (the guy who broke the sqirl story) richardeaglespoon.com and @joe_rosenthal (insta handle) has covered it within his social media postings. He’s made reference to comments made by Krikorian in support of Koslow on social media (after moldgate) and also referring to his past writings within related postings on krikorianwrites.com. Don’t have a definitive article to link back to but at least for me after reviewing Krikorian’s comments along with his Op-ed it definitely puts a damper on my enthusiasm for Mozza as a whole.

This is not firsthand knowledge but it is as reported by our esteemed @Chowseeker1999. Can’t figure out how to quote cross thread so I just posted a link to the posting.
Fair and valid reasons to be turned-off. But I think the recent reports of the food not being up to par (and maybe even the price hikes) are unfair from peeps claiming to love and want to support struggling restaurants.

Yup. I read that too, but Mozz2Go have been offering those pizza takeout for years. I’ve had it a few times and, quality aside, the picture looks about right compared to what I had in terms of sizing.

Yep @moonboy403. Plus, Mozza pizzas to-go have never been great. That crust is to be eaten immediately before it turns to stone… and this is from a person who does not hate-on takeout.

That, I can attest to. It turns super chewy when it’s no longer hot.

Maybe downhill alert is harsh, but I would definitely say proceed with caution. Honestly, the price gouging and shrinking food portions aren’t great but its really the reported attitude of one of the co-owners that really turns me off.
Currently, in this new COVID/BLM world I want to support businesses that support causes that I believe in. For example, if a business said “FUCK BLM” or “All Lives Matter” I would not do business with said business.
And as a real world example, North End Caffe in Manhattan Beach posted on their menu board something to the effect of “Masks were an infringement of their constitutional rights and all adults should be allowed to make their own decisions, government stay out of my business etc…” and after seeing that with health concerns aside, I will not be patronizing their business.

It was reported by other posters. I have updated my post to reflect that accordingly.

Yeah, sorry @hungryhungryhippos. My comment wasn’t specifically directed at you (or confined to this Mozza thread). You seem like a fair person. And I’m definitely not the person to rely on for cost analysis (reason I wrote “maybe” 
). I go out to eat when I can afford to and once decision is made and we’re there I don’t really check prices… unless it’s an obscenely small portion, etc. But! I do think folks need to temper the expectation that all their favorite places will be exactly the way they were before Covid and turmoil on the streets - food-wise, atmosphere-wise and price-wise. Or maybe stay home and cook.
P.S. About the Manhattan Beach restaurant? It seems beach people are a different breed. We went to Seal Beach yesterday and were able to get a spot away from others and take off our masks. But, less than 5% were wearing masks even in the public facilities with big signs saying to do so, and there were parties of 20+ with not one mask. Spreaders.

i wonder how much mozza had to do with the pricing of this “michelin guide experience”/samsung propaganda bullshit. it’s more likely they were approached to come up with an “exclusive” three-course menu for a special promo. the menus for nyc, sf, and chicago are also three courses and $150 for 2, however they didn’t cheap-out on the ingredients e.g. bluefin tuna, quail, heritage pork loin, short ribs, salmon vs. aglio e olio pasta?

Really good point.
Did Osteria Mozza a couple weeks ago and got that clutch Piazza seating. Since they’ve reopened for indoor service, the multiple menus are no longer merged, so while we didn’t get a shot at pizza, overall it was a fantastic meal in an outdoor space that honestly I quite preferred to the dining room.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Mint, Almonds, and Pecorino
Simple and fantastic. It was a much larger serving than I was anticipating, but was great to share.
Burrata, Peas, and Speck
With peas still in season, this was an excellent combination of slightly sweet peas, creamy burrata, and cured ham. We got some extra garlic toast as a delivery vehicle.
Mozzarella di Bufala with Cantabrian Anchovies and Garlic Toast
Easily the star of the show. I wish I could eat this every day.
Orecchiette with Sausage and Swiss Chard
Of the two pastas we got, I wasn’t feeling strongly about this, but it turned out to be great. While it may seem like a fairly pedestrian combination, the execution here is what makes you remember this is Mozza.
Ricotta and Egg Ravioli with Browned Butter
Even though we each only got one bite, it’s still a must. Pro-tip: be the last one to take a piece so you can scrape up all the yolk and butter left.
Grilled Beef Tagliata with Rucola, Parmigiano Reggiano and Aceto Balsamico
Expertly cooked and a great finisher.
Nancy is still throwing heaters.

The burrata with peas is actually my favorite from the mozzarella bar. I’m glad it’s still on the menu.
