From the appetizer to the dessert my party and I enjoyed every bite of this meal. Their attention to detail and presentation is phenomenal. The vibe was lively and upbeat, the decorations and designs were beautiful, the bathrooms were clean, the waiters were attentive, and as stated before the quality of the food was top notch. Here’s what we had:

I had the blackened salmon, mashed potatoes, and spinach, it was a 10/10 meal. It was a delicious meal I haven’t had salmon this good in a long time.

I ordered the margarita personal pie to go. The crust was a perfect balance between crispy/soft, and there was just enough basil without overpowering the flavor. This was an excellent pizza, and I highly recommend you visit mozzarella, and give it a try!

Our party of 9 people had a celebration lunch for our son and we were seated in a lovely glassed-in room out back. Our waitress was kind and attentive, always with a smile. The food was very good and the salads really fresh. The previous times we ate here, it was the same. This is a great, dependable place, highly recommended. And it’s BYOB!

Decided to try Mozzarella after looking up ‘good pizza near me’ and I can say I’m happy I did. The costumer service is great and so is the welcoming ambience. I ordered a pizza, mozzarella sticks and french fries. The pizza and French fries were good but I would say the mozzarella sticks weren’t bad but they’re definitely missing something.

I AM A FAN!!!! This was my first time eating here and I love it. Everyone was so nice. The gentleman making the pizza was so sweet. I couldn’t decide what I wanted and he showed me the rope and was even willing to make something special. I got the chicken bacon ranch slice as well as garlic knots everything came fast and hot. The pizza was flavorful and the garlic knots were perfection. I will be back soon.
