#2
Mozza2Go
7.8
Nancy Silverton's takeout window delivers the same chewy, blistered-crust pizzas and slow-braised meatballs that built Pizzeria Mozza's two-decade reputation, packaged for the car or couch. The to-go format strips away the full-service experience but keeps the California-seasonal ingredient sourcing and technique intact. Reviews run polarized—regulars swear by it, but the occasional off night and limited format mean expectations should stay calibrated to a pickup counter, not a sit-down meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Meatballs al Forno, Fennel Sausage Pizza, Margherita Pizza
What Makes it Special: Nancy Silverton's James Beard Award-winning pizzeria, widely recognized as one of the best in the country, built around a much-talked-about crust and California-seasonal ingredients
7.7
Botanical café tucked in strip mall combining specialty coffee with flower shop aesthetics. Known for house-made syrups in signature Bloom lattes and surprisingly fluffy breakfast sandwiches amid lush greenery.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lavender Bloom Latte, Avocado Breakfast Sandwich, Sweet Corn Matcha
What Makes it Special: Cafe-florist hybrid with house-made lavender and butterscotch syrups
