Get ready for a taste of California sunshine in the heart of London! Pizzeria Mozza, the celebrated Los Angeles eatery co-owned by renowned chef Nancy Silverton, is finally opening its first UK location. And where else could it be but at the stylish Treehouse Hotel London, nestled near Oxford Circus?
This isn’t just any ordinary pizzeria. Silverton, known for her Michelin-starred Osteria Mozza, Chi Spacca, and La Brea Bakery, is bringing her award-winning talent to London. She’s even won the prestigious James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Chef Award and starred on Netflix’s Chef’s Table!
This exciting venture will mark Pizzeria Mozza’s first foray outside of Los Angeles. It’s sure to become a hot spot, joining the ranks of the hotel’s other popular restaurants: Madera, the Nest, and Backyard.
A Menu Fit for a Queen (or King!)
The menu will be a symphony of Italian flavors, featuring fresh, seasonal British produce. Alongside mouthwatering pizzas, you’ll find an enticing selection of meat and fish dishes, with a nod to traditional Italian cuisine.
Get your taste buds tingling with antipasti like salt cod fritti, shrimp with melon, and squash blossoms fritti with ricotta. Don’t forget to indulge in locally sourced salamis and mozzarella and Italian-inspired salads.
Weekends bring the ultimate Italian-inspired brunch. Dive into torta rustica, brisket or oxtail hash al forno, and two olive oil fried eggs.
For a sweet ending, satisfy your cravings with Nancy’s Fancy ice cream, available for dessert or a quick grab-and-go treat.
A Mediterranean Paradise
The restaurant’s design, by the talented Ward & Gray, evokes a Mediterranean garden oasis. Imagine lush planting, cascading vines, terracotta tiled floors, and elegant glass lighting by Sogni di Cristallo. Relax in the iron garden chairs from Milanese furniture maker Soto, and let the atmosphere transport you to a sun-kissed Italian courtyard.
A Sustainable Success Story
Treehouse Hotels prides itself on its commitment to sustainability, aligning perfectly with the eco-conscious ethos of 1 Hotels, its sister brand. The 95-bedroom London hotel, once the Saint Georges hotel, has been transformed into a haven of modern luxury and sustainability.
This exciting collaboration brings together Starwood Capital, Cairn Group, and SH Hotels & Resorts, making this a landmark moment in the London hospitality scene.
A Dream Come True
For Nancy Silverton, opening Pizzeria Mozza in London feels like a homecoming. After graduating from London’s renowned Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School 44 years ago, she’s come full circle, returning with her culinary expertise to inspire the next generation of chefs.
Ayo Akinsete, area managing director of SH Hotels & Resorts, echoes this sentiment: “This has been years in the making. After all that our industry has been through over the past year, opening a new restaurant feels more exciting than ever.”
Matt Erickson, president of food and beverage at SH Hotels & Resorts, adds, “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Nancy and this amazing brand over the pond to our guests in London.”
Prepare to be wowed by the authentic Italian flavors, the stunning design, and the warm hospitality that awaits you at Pizzeria Mozza London. This is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience, a journey back to Silverton’s roots, and a celebration of the best of both Italian and British culinary traditions.
