Pizzeria Mozza Introduction Pizzeria Mozza is almost exactly the same as its flagship outlet in California, with the delicious addition of local seafood and vegetables. Located next to its fine dining sister Osteria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands, Pizzeria is a bustling, urban burst of flavour and colour, presenting a casual dining environment amid upbeat rock music. The highlight of Pizzeria’s menu is the hand-crafted artisanal pizzas prepared daily, fresh from two wood burning pizza ovens in a lively display kitchen– the energy centre of the main dining hall. Opened everyday from 12 noon onwards, Pizzeria welcomes families, business lunchers, foodies, pizza mavens, dough-obsessed bloggers, wine geeks, and late-night clubgoers with enthusiasm. The wine bar offers a selection of 100 Italian wines all under $100. In addition to its world-famous pizzas, some of Pizzeria’s other signature menu items include crispy Duck legs with lentils, Lasagna al forno, and Nancy’s legendary Chopped Salad. Must-try desserts include its homemade Sorbetti, Gelati and Butterscotch Budino. Pizzeria Mozza also offers Meatless Monday specials as part of a global movement for health and environmental benefits. On Mondays, the restaurant serves a series of wholesome wood-fired oven roasted vegetables and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Peter Birks (Executive Chef) Peter Birks brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Executive Chef of Osteria Mozza. The Brisbane native’s passion for food and cooking started from a young age when his parents – who owned a franchise of popular Australian bakery, The Cheesecake Shop – signed him up for his cooking course when he was just 12. His restaurant journey took off in 1999, as an apprentice chef at Italian restaurant Il Centro in Brisbane. Winner of the Rising Chefs of Australia competition in 2002, Peter landed a work stint at Italian restaurant Cecconi’s in Melbourne in 2005. When the restaurant was approached to open a location in Hong Kong in 2007, Peter was asked to move over as the Executive Chef. Peter also spent time in Carnevino and OTTO Enoteca in Las Vegas, which put him in good stead to assist with the opening of Italian restaurant Lupa in Hong Kong in 2012. Four years later, he joined Osteria Mozza at Marina Bay Sands in 2016, leading the culinary team to reach greater heights.
