Osteria Pizzeria Mozza MBS by Mario Batali
This is a guest post from LadyIronChef.
Chef Mario Batali’s first foray into the Singapore food scene is with the opening of Osteria Mozza & Pizzeria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands.
Pizzeria Mozza is probably the most affordable option amongst the Marina Bay Sands celebrity chefs’ restaurants. The pizzas on Pizzeria Mozza’s menu are priced between $18 to $38. I’d think this is extremely good value given that most of the pizza restaurants in Singapore charge around the same price for a pizza.
My foodie friend visited Pizzeria Mozza a while back, and he told me that they have the best pizzas in Singapore. I was skeptical initially, but I finally managed to try it for myself during a recent media tasting at MBS.
The Italian restaurant has two different dining concepts. Pizzeria Mozza comes with a wine bar and it has a variety of pizza selections. Located just beside the pizza bar, the upscaleOsteria Mozza features a Mozzarella Bar, and it serves pasta, seafood and meat dishes.
Pizzeria Mozza has quite a few interesting choices on the menu. Amongst the antipasti (priced under $20), there are Bone marrow, fried goat cheese. While some of the pizzas (ranging from $20-30) that caught my eye were the Yukon gold potato & cippolini, and the Burrata with slow roasted tomato.
There are many people who refuse to touch foie gras or pig liver, but I absolutely love it. Naturally, I was quite excited when they served us the Chicken liver bruschetta. Acquired taste was probably the best way to describe this appetizer. The chicken liver was kind of overwhelming and we did not really fancy it.
On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the Cauliflower Fritti which was essentially deep-fried Cauliflower. It was brilliant.
The special thing about the pizzas at Pizzeria Mozza is definitely the big and crispy crust. I know most food lovers in Singapore seem to prefer thin crust or skinny pizzas. But trust me, Pizzeria Mozza’s pizzas are worth a try.
We had the Margherita Pizza (with mozzarella, tomato and basil), Fennel Sausage Pizza, Fungi Pizza (with a generous spread of mushroom) and the Tomato & Oregano pizza. The Funghi pizza was definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve had, while I thought that the Margherita was exceptionally ordinary. But still, the light and airy crust was good.
For dessert, we had the famous Butterscotch Budino which was way too sweet for my liking. And this is coming from a guy who has an incredibly sweet tooth.If you want the experience of eating in a Celebrity chef restaurant without breaking a hole in your wallet, both Daniel Boulud’s DB Bistro and Mario Batali’s Pizzeria Mozza are your best bet. They are the only casual dining options out of the 7 Celebrity Chef Restaurants in MBS.
Is Pizzeria Mozza the best pizza restaurant in Singapore? I don’t know… It is really hard to say since there are so many pizzerias in Singapore. But I think it is definitely amongst the best. From what I heard, it is quite difficult to get a table during weekends, reservations are required at least a week in advance.
What's your favorite type of pizza?

- About Me: How it all got started The fateful time was March 2007, taunted with the prospect of being ordinary this life, out-of-the-blue I decided to have a blog. And mind you, I sneered at the mere thought of bloggers before, why are they wasting your bloody time updating about their personal life when nobody wants to read. I did not started out as food blog, rather a personal blog (the irony). However there seemed to be some interest in the posts that were food-related, so I blog on more food. With the increasing number of readers, I realised that the bad writing and lousy photos had to go. Hereby began my quest to notice how others wrote, and I started to improve my writings. The delicate photos, after all pictures tell a thousand words; photoshop was an essential skill, and I got my Dslr (the partner-in-crime for making everybody hungry).
