I was wondering if anybody has been to this pizzeria on 38 East 23rd Street

between Park & Madison. I am planning on going but I want to know if it's good.

I've heard it's very good.

I actually wanted to go there on Sunday, but unfortunately I got glutened at brunch so I never made it there. If you go let me know how it is.

Yea so today I went to Mozzarelli's for lunch. It was good, but I think the best part is that they sell it by the slice ( $3. 50, I think). There was no dessert, which was a bummer. I have to say Risottoria is better because there is more of a variety.

LOL!! I was at Risotteria for lunch today.

That is awesome that you can just get a slice, and not expensive either. I mean yeah more than a regular slice, but that certainly isn't bad. How does the pizza compare to Risotteria's?

The pizza is made in a brick oven which made it taste really good. So it was crunchy and chewy just like new york pizza should be. I personally think that Risotteria's pizza is better. Mozzarelli is good for those days when it's just you can you only want one slice.

I love Risotteria but have not been able to bring myself to go back there since they were temporarily shut down by the board of health.

I've went to Mozzarelli's once and found the pizza to be very good. The crust is more like a "normal" pizza than Risotteria's thin-crust, but Risotteria offers much more variety as here they just have the traditional tomato sauce, cheese pizza.

I called Mozzarelli's over the weekend to see if they had any gluten free pizza left and they told me that during the week they now sell a whole variety of gluten free desserts along with the pizza. So, I'll have to stop by and check it out and report back here.

wow - i hadn't heard about this place before. I've been going to risoterria every 2 weeks. i'd love to go more often, but it takes too long to get to and costs too much. this place sounds like it's better on both.

i'll have to check it out

thanks for the heads up!

I love Mozzarelli's. I make it a point to go at least once a week. I actually like the pizza better than the pizza at Rissoteria but I am a big fan of sicilian pizza so I like the thicker crust. I always go during the week. The last time I went they had gluten-free carrot cake (which in hindsight I should have gotten since I love carrot cake) I am probably going again tomorrow so maybe I will check out the desserts then.

the crust was a little overdone

It's a good thing you didn't go on Sunday. Apparently they are open Mon-Fri. My husband & I took the bus down from the theater district on Saturday. I was totally psyched for ordering pizza by the slice and totally bummed out that they were CLOSED!. They are in the insurance district and many places don't bother opening on the weekends.

I went tonight for dinner (around 7ish). They didn't have any prepared, so I had to order 2 slices because that was the minimum they could do. But it was a short wait, and it was AWESOME!!! First pizza in 2 years, boo-yah! 2 slices and a drink for about $10. Especially in NYC, I call that reasonable! I told the manager (?) on the way out that the pizza made my day. My only disappointment? I don't get into the city often and I'm moving cross-country next week!

I finally got to Mozzarelli's! My husband and I took Wednesday off to go to the city for a show. After we got our tickets at TKTS we took the bus downtown so I could finally walk into a pizza place and order a slice! Well, I had 2 slices. First, a regular cheese slice, then a veggie slice. I was in gluten-free heaven! They also have a few gluten-free pasta dishes listed that they will make fresh. On the way out I bought some gluten-free biscotti that I noshed on while walking and still had some to take home.

Too bad they are only open Mon-Fri.

LOVE Mozzarelli's!!!!! I went for the 1st time a couple weeks ago, and went back again for lunch last Friday. I think I may make it my ritual Friday lunch.

The first time I had a spinach mushroom slice and a bruschetta slice. Both were wonderful, but the bruschetta slice.... OMG HEAVEN!!!!!! I wanted the same when I went last week, but they were out of the bruschetta :( so I got the spinach mushroom and a sausage slice.

They also have a chocolate cake which is incredible.

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
