Mozza.

Made it to Pizzeria Mozza as planned. Took some photos. Ate a bit of everything and racked up a huge lunch bill with Citizenrobot.

I've been thinking about it ever since and even discussing a few things with the friend in NYC that I went to OTTO with. I cannot decide which lunch I liked better.

To recap, at OTTO I had:

• Italian bread
• breadsticks
• one large bottle sparkling water
• Warm House Cured Olives
• Prosciutto Arugula Pizza (Tomato, Cacio, Mozzarella, Crudo, Arugula)
• Two glasses wine (Rosato Bastianich and a red)
• Trio of sorbetti (Creme Fraiche, Tangerine, Pineapple Prosecco)

Now, Mozza:

• breadsticks
• tap water
• A white, A red (Ribolla & Aglianico)
  
• Fried Squash Blossoms with Ricotta
• Nancy's Chopped Salad
• Prosciutto di Parma Pizza (with Rucola [Arugula], Tomato & Mozzarella)
• Citizenrobot had the Coach Farm Goat Cheese Pizza (with leeks, scallions & bacon)
• Citizenrobot had Strawberry gelato pie, spiced almonds & saba
• Trio of sorbetti (Frutti di Bosco, Melon, Greek yoghurt gelato)

There were obvious similarities and obvious strengths. I cannot decide.

EDIT: Things I'm totally sure of

• OTTO and Mozza salads were the best I've had in my life.
• I cannot go back to eating the way I used to. At least not right away. I've been getting by the last couple days on fresh tomatoes, brie, grapes, apple slices and crackers. Not much else.
• Mozza is by far the most expensive lunch I've ever had. And totally worth it.
