Mozza Mia

Manny's:

"One of the few places I feel comfortable surrendering to the bawdiness that invariably follows criminally huge servings of meat and liquor."

"[The brunch] standouts include the Mannys omeleta kitchen-sink concoction of prime rib, chicken sausage, bacon, asparagus, and cheddar that happens to taste wonderful."

Pizza Pizza:

"Pretty good pizzeria, a worthy upgrade to the 50th & France nexus and a restaurant with a great deal more energy than the tired Tejas it replaced."

"Mozzas main point of differentiation is its mozzarella program."

Cheese Lovers' Pizza:

"Compared to other restaurants in Edina... Mozza Mia is fantastic."

"When in Edina, count your blessings for a little taste of Japanese-Italian fusion perking up the pizza scene."

Elizabeth's Pick: Mozza Mia:

"I can't stop thinking about the Salumi pizza, topped with sweet tomato sauce, fennel-flecked salami, aged provolone, and piquant peperoncini."

"...[T]he baked manicotti pasta special was the best comfort food I've eaten all winter."

Mozza Mia in Edina:

"While we found the restaurant's cozy dark wood decor and hot pizza oven to be inviting, the inconsistency of the pies failed to bring us to our knees in praise."

"Even a goat-cheese hater couldn't resist the tempting sweetness of the marmellata, which nicely balances the creaminess of the cheese spread."

"Its aesthetically pleasing setting and 50th and France location will appeal to shoppers who crave warmth and a glass of wine after a brisk walk among the boutiques, and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff make Mozza Mia a welcome respite for diners of all ages."

Pizza in Edina? At Mozza Mia, si:

"Mozza Mia feels like a switch from the company's usual something-for-everyone strategy, and it's a welcome one."

"The star of the show is pizza. While it's not an epoch-altering pizza -- remember when Punch's wet, stretchy, Neapolitan-style pies materialized and the world momentarily stopped spinning on its axis? -- it is a formidably good one."

"...nothing is terribly complicated, and the pizzas require about two minutes of baking time, the food flies out of the kitchen"
