Mozzeria--San Francisco/Bay Area (Pizza Place and Mobile Food Trolley)

The bay area has many note-worthy pizza places, and Mozzeria is one of them. Some of the words to entice any hungry pizza lover may be: "hand tossed," "wood fired" and "housemade burrata" for starters. Located at 3228 16th street, it's an easy walk from the 16th street BART station. They also have a mobile trolley, with a wood-burning pizza oven on it, that may come to your neck of the woods if you can't make it out to the city.

One unique aspect, not overly mentioned since the focus is on great food, is that this establishment is owned and operated by a deaf couple. Also noteworthy is they support the deaf community by providing jobs for other individuals with hearing impairment or loss. It's also a lot of fun to learn how to order pizza using sign language.

Here are some of the things I've enjoyed.

Burrata. Housemade, stretchy mozzarella with mozzarella cream encased inside. It was smooth and sweet with notes of nuttiness. The balsamic vinegar, fresh ripe cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and olive oil were simple toppings that really completed the dish.

Fried pizza dough. What a great way to use up leftover pizza dough. Fried and served with the burrata, this was not greasy, and an excellently crunchy accompaniment to the delicious cheese above.

Margherita pizza. The beauty of this pizza is in its simplicity. With tangy and sweet marinara sauce, fresh mozzerella, grana padano, pomodoro and basil, I enjoyed this very much.

Italian Sausage pizza. Fantastically tasty sausage, fennel fronds, red onion, white garlic sauce and mozzerella. All topped on a thin and wonderfully baked crust.

I've only experienced the trolley, since it was conveniently parked in my neighborhood. I look forward to visiting their restaurant and trying some of their other starters and pizzas next time I get a chance.
