When a group of people who were in the same class at St. Pius X High School years ago decided to hold a mini-reunion in November, it didn\u2019t take long to figure out where they wanted to meet. They chose Enoteca Mozza Restaurant at Centropolis in Laval, a place everyone calls \u201cMozza.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a nice place to go in the winter time,\u201d said Joey Mennitto, a 43-year-old who was among the group. \u201cWhen you walk in, the place has glass on three sides. The inside is homey. All the pizza is cooked with wood burning ovens so it feels like you\u2019re in front of a fireplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the group got there, they met a bunch of people from another class in the same high school holding a similar get-together. That\u2019s because Mozza tends to attract people ranging from thirty-something to forty-something who are looking for a modern, yet comfortable place to have a good meal without paying too much. Mennitto finds himself meeting friends there every month or two.<\/p>\n

\u201cI usually have pizza and the prosciutto with arugula salad on top of it,\u201d he says. For dessert, he recommends the calzone with Nutella inside. Since Mozza heats most of its desserts in the brick wood oven, the apple crumble and chocolate chip with ice cream are both good too.<\/p>\n

Mennitto says that the restaurant side is often packed with families with young kids, but there are also 20 or so tables on the bar side for people who want a quieter space. \u201cThe older crowd still enjoys going out, but now they bring the whole family,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not pretentious. It\u2019s the type of place that you\u2019d bring your mother for a fancy meal. It\u2019s modern but still comfortable. It\u2019s affordable, not expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mennitto likes the fact that Mozza is convenient to get to with no issue for parking and that service is quick. \u201cTypically, I go on a Sunday or a Thursday evening. On Sunday evenings, it\u2019s full of families, friends and their kids celebrating some event. You always see balloons with someone turning 40 or 50.\u201d<\/p>\n
