Ridor recently moved from Richmond, VA to Frederick, MD. He and another person were responsible for Chef Kurt Ramborger to be a guest chef in Frederick, MD recently. For two nights, they sold out the small upscale restaurant and the whole thing was very successful.

Tousi

TX, from what I hear, you won't be sorry. The place, although is a pizza place, it is small and upscale. Gourmet-like, if you will......

TXgolfer

Sounds awesome. I will give a review next week!

I've been there more than 10 times, my favorite is Duck Roast Pizza (Fridays only) and Lemon Ice Cream-----too unresistable!

I have to be careful about cheese products because some cheese products caused to aggressive my IBS symptoms, even if I take lactose enzyme.

I have no problem with pizza that don't use cheese.

During weekend, I ate pizza from Little Caesars with cheese so I'm fine but not Domino Pizza and other local pizza.

There are no good local pizza in here so I usually go to Atlanta.

ha ha yeah I am glad to know they are good. I am sure that they are please to hear what you just said that.

TXgolfer

I ate and drank at Mozzeria tonight....I will give a full report tomorrow but will end the suspense now by saying it was probably the best dining experience I have had. I would really have to nitpick to find anything to complain about. I may become a regular when in town. Just outstanding!

Mozzeria

First off the place is small....Like most of the places in the area.... I would say 35 people max. It has a great urban feel. The decor was trendy yet comfortable. They had 5 beers on tap (I tried all 5 since I wasn't driving) and probably the only beer most people would have heard of is Fat Tire. The sodas were bottled pure cane sodas and seemed to fit the place perfectly. I showed up at 6 and ended up staying til around 9. The place was pretty much full the entire time. At 6 I think everyone who was there was deaf or was with someone who was deaf. At 9 the crowd appeared to be split 50/50. As for the staff I believe all were deaf except the hostess (I didn't ask) My server was Justin and he was deaf. He read lips well and carried pen/paper so their were no communication issues at all. With my limited ASL, writing was faster than signing and they were very busy. The entire staff was very friendly. I think I met all of them while there. The service was excellent

I wasn't in the mood for pizza so I had a couple of appetizers. First I had the gulf shrimp which was probably the best shrimp I have had anywhere. The second was a fried cheese bar. It was good but way too much cheese for one person...lol. I probably should have ordered the shrimp again! The prices were very reasonable.....even cheap for an urban restaurant. My shrimp was $12 and the fried cheese was $8. Beer was on the high side at $6 but that's not too bad. My total bill was around $50....not bad for the setting. A good sized pizza runs only $15-18. They looked really good and I may go back tonight to try one.

The only complaint I have is that the toothpicks were in a cup and not wrapped.... That is the only flaw I could find. Lol

Ate at Mozzeria again last night. Another packed house. Problem was they were tremendously short staffed. Only one waiter for the entire house. Last night was the 75th anniversary party of the Golden Gate Bridge.....not sure if they were not expecting the crowd or if people called in "sick" to go to the party. lol. Regardless the staff did an excellent job. I had the Japanese Funghi Pizza..it was excellent, though slightly burnt. This was understandable given that the hostess was pulled off the door to watch the oven. My rating of the food last night would be "average". However given the circumstances I was very impressed. I was really impressed with Melody who did a great job of running the show. She was very much in control and never lost her smile.

Also of note.... in California the Health Dept. inspection card is posted for all to see. Mozzeria got a 100....I have never seen a perfect score before.

The crowd was different than the night before... it appeared everyone was hearing. I think this is a great thing as it means all of the locals are really enjoying the place and that it is not just serving a niche.

I may go again tonight
