    Good 'ol Mozz Sticks
    Vivek D.

    had a fun time here eating some good 'ol mozz sticks. They're all basically made to order so it takes some time to receive your food. Fortunately, there's quite a few barstools so you can hangout waiting for the food or grab a beer from the Filling Station right behind you. The mozz sticks I got came with 4 large mozz sticks. I thought the mozz sticks tasted damn good and filled me up despite costing $11. No complaints food wise from me.

    BEST MOZZARELLA STICKS. I was told to go to the Chelsea Market specifically to go get their famous Mozzarella sticks. Their recommendation was completely right. A serving of Mozzarella sticks included 4 thick sticks and cheesy marinara sauce. Very quick service. These sticks don't look like your ordinary, bright yellow, artificial-looking mozzarella sticks. These were darker and mastered the perfect balance between having a crispy outside, but soft melted cheese on the inside. The cheese wasn't too stringy nor hardened like most others I've had before. Pairing these with their mozzarella sauce created the best cheesy experience I've ever had. The location was a little hard to get to. The Chelsea market is highly trafficked and the aisles to Big Mozz are small, but the trip is well worth it!!

    The popular Smorgasburg stand that started out serving just mozzarella sticks has just opened a permanent stand in Chelsea Market. Taking over the former Very Fresh Noodles space and cleverly repurposing the nice neon sign and swapping in "Mozzarella" for the last word, they are now serving much more than just those perfectly made sticks. Today I tried the Brooklyn Cubans ($13), a great sandwich with plenty of the excellent fresh mozzarella. I also had the Chicken Parm Bites ($10), which you can watch them bread fresh on site. Will definitely come back soon for Garlic Fries ($7.35) and the classic mozzarella sticks that never fail to please.

    After hearing great reviews about Big Mozz, I knew that I had to stop by their stand at Smorgasburg Prospect Park when I visited-- and I was NOT disappointed! I ordered the regular Mozz Sticks and they came out the truck piping hot with a warm side of marinara sauce. Before tasting them, I already had high expectations because the mozzarella sticks had an amazing cheese pull! (I wish I could post the video but check out my IG: @hungrykayxo for it!!) Flavor-wise, these were sincerely the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. You sincerely cannot go wrong with a perfectly golden brown crust with melted mozzarella all in the middle but what made it better was the extra Parmesan on top and flavorful Italian seasoning. I would highly recommend Big Mozz if you're ever craving mozzarella sticks and are tired of the frozen ones from the supermarket. Worth every dollar and the friendly + quick service was also a plus!!

    Chicken Parm bites are seasoned to perfection and taste amazing after dipping in the marinara sauce & paired with an IPA. We tried food from 5 different locations at Chelsea market and this was by far the best item we ate. I'll come again and try other items because everything they were making looked delicious and at a great value as well.

    Wow. Hands down the best mozzarella stick I've ever had in my life. The breading is so good and the cheese inside is melted so perfectly. $12 for 4 pieces...a bit pricey but I think it's worth it since you're in a touristy spot already. It doesn't take a long time to come out and they have bar seating around the counters.

    As a huge mozz stick fan, these definitely live up to the hype. They're so well seasoned and crispy on the outside with some really high quality streeetchhhyyy mozzarella on the inside. Super filling so if you do try them at a food market just keep that in mind!

    There's standard mozzarella sticks, and then there's Big Daddy Big Mozz. We found our way to Chelsea Market on a Saturday afternoon. The venue was busy, but we found our way to mozzarella heaven soon enough. We were greeted with a smile and soon was granted entry to food delight. Our crew of 5 ordered 1.5 orders of their works famous mozzarella sticks and 2 orders of waffle fries. Obviously, the mozzarella sticks were life changing. Cheese pulls as far as the arms could stretch, crunchy exterior and warm, soothing interior. My god. It was amazing. However, the crisp waffle fries nearly stole the show as well! I was very impressed with their barstool setup, which allowed me to watch them prepare the food in expert fashion (they also are clean food ninjas, multiple glove changes to make this nurse a happy camper)! If we didn't love our of state, I'd be here almost daily. Perfection in every way.

    Was really craving some fried cheese and boy did I come to the right place... all a cheesy wonder. The mozz sticks are so tasty! They're so crunchy and not too thick (I hate when my mozz sticks are 95% cheese, it's so difficult to enjoy). The service was a little strange but decent, it was hard to get their attention once you sat down but they were accommodating after you got it. I would give them more stars but my stomach bothered me a little afterwards, maybe from the heavily used oils. And I wasn't a big fan of their sandwich. I had the Cuban and I felt like, for a cheese strong food spot, it was soooo dry. My boyfriend thought it was OK, but I would get something else next time.

    Most off putting experience at their Prospect Park location in Smorgasburg their opening weekend of 6/13!!! I understand having technical difficulties when you're newly up and running, but the tact and level of respect you handle your customers with is EVERYTHING. Going in order of savory vendors we first stopped at Big Mozz bc why not, mozzarella sticks, amirite? Not worth the $10 (I think) we paid? Bit into first stick melted outside, frozen inside and marinara sauce was cold. When it's 11a and you're just opening, it's probably wise to try your food before sending out the first ticket. I politely told the gentleman taking orders that they were under done. I could tell the patron next to me was having a similar experience, but we kind of just looked at each other until one of us made a move. He quickly apologized and told me my sticks would be replaced. At this point, the line cook who was preparing them, said loud enough for everyone to hear, "idk what you want me to do, the oil isn't hot enough," now I'm forgiving of situations like this... you're new, maybe it's a new deep fryer, maybe they're a new vendor all together-- and you're overwhelmed, but exhibit a bit of decorum. Now, where this went south for me was when we received our second batch, also still frozen in the center, and I kindly returned it to the gentleman, as he asked me to try one in front of him to make sure they were well fried, and the cook now sticks her head out of the food truck and says, "listen, honey, this is new to us, you've gotta be patient." NEVER and I mean NEVER "listen, honey," a customer, and who wasn't being patient? If your fry oil wasn't ready, why did you start taking orders? I told them I would later return, in an effort to give them a chance to sort out their mess. My husband and I were literally baffled. Someone from their food truck eventually found us throughout the crowd with a third and properly prepared order of mozz sticks. I think I was so turned off by the way I was spoken to, that I didn't even want to eat them. Sadly, I just thought they they were okay, nothing spectacular, imho.

    It was my second time in NY and my first time visiting Chelsea Market, and having lunch at Big Mozz was definitely the highlight of the day! Because as a good mediterranean I love mozzarella, and because this place specializes on making these cheesy balls of goodness, I decided to order two different mozza dishes - the sticks and the pesto ball. Started with the mozarella sticks, perfectly made, so crunchy and of course very full of melty cheese. Then I ordered the pesto mozarella ball - they actually inject the pesto inside the cheese ball, in a way that all the green pesto spreads through your toast and plate when you cut the cheese. Delicious, even the side salad was surprisingly good.

    I was walking around Chelsea Market, having fun in the store that sells vinegar and olive oil that you pour yourself. The sign that said fresh mozzarella caught my eye. I like fresh mozzarella the way I like fresh pasta. Even tho I wasn't hungry, I wasn't hesitant about this place. It was a sign I should eat here I stared at the food prep and menu for a while. I wanted fresh mozzarella but also wanted fried mozzarella sticks. I think the fresh ball will be nice as a meal since it comes with two sides and a slice of bread. I watched how they prepared the fresh mozzarella. Yes they put it in hot water and did some kneading to get the perfect ball shape and other shapes for other orders. Looks legit enough to me. I didn't see them bread the sticks tho so those were probably premade. I ended up getting the fried mozzarella sticks. The last time I seriously had these were probably a bunch of years ago in school lunches which was so rubbery. These ofc weren't like that. Still so hot coming right out of the fryer, the cheese is almost liquid, rushing to come out of the breading shell. Nice how nothing spilled out during the frying process. The crust is thin but sufficient imo cuz I wouldn't want a thicker but tougher rougher crust. The pecorino sprinkled on top added great flavor kick compared to the mozzarella and breading. I can't tell if there was garlic powder on the crust or the tomato sauce. The cheese itself was also so chewy and stringyyyyyy it gave such a satisfying pull between bites. Be careful it's hot tho! Sometimes as you're trying string out a bit, you end up pulling the whole chunk of cheese from the crust, fun but annoying when you end up eating an empty shell. The tomato sauce is the saucier type with large chunks of tomato, not diced, which I quite appreciate. The portion is just right for the amount of sticks they give. I think my coat got smelly after sitting at their counter for a bit. That sucked. I smelled so oily. I did think $12 was expensive because I can get a whole meal out of that. I'd wish they have fried mozzarella sticks as an option in their platter meal. I'm glad I shared this with a friend because it's too heavy as an afternoon snack (not filling and not enough variety for a full on meal) Regardless, I felt very satisfied and warmed up after eating it. I mean that's what you're looking for in comfort food right?

    I don't even know where to begin ! Hands down the best mozzarella sticks I've had and the marinara sauce is just as Delicious. I've seen these mozzarella sticks all over social media mainly from smorgasbord, but I never got the opportunity to try them myself till recently. Just my luck they had a booth for the San Genero fest this year ! So obviously I tracked down the booth on their Instagram page and made the purchase ASAP ! By my surprise the hype was indeed real ! Mozzarella sticks were made fresh and the cheese was not overwhelming at all. I'm very picky with my mozzarella sticks, they can't be too cheesy and the breading can't be so soft. These meet my standards and will now have to have any chance I can :)!

From the moment I walked in, the pleasant staff made me feel comfortable and informed. They took the time to explain the menu and their amazing specials. On my first visit, I tried a piece of fresh mozzarella. They recommended the Italian combo sub. It was gigantic, and, I needed to climb the "Weehawken Stairs" at the Port Imperial Station to return home to eat it. It took me three days to finish. I made sure to return on the next Thursday for the amazing Roast Beef with brown gravy and fresh mozzarella. Again.. climbed the "Weehawken Stairs" with the sandwich to start eating that evening. I would take the remainder home to finish in Connecticut. Well done, Fiore's! Vin Wallingford

Google led me to…read moreFiore's, where I found out they had a roast beef and mozz sandwich on Thursdays and Saturdays. We came in around 1:30pm on Saturday and there was a line, but I didn't wait longer than 20 minutes. There's really no menu on site, so you can kind of just listen to what people are ordering and figure out what sounds good. Originally, I was going to get two sandwiches, but I saw the size of them and decided we really only needed one full one. I got the gravy on the size, which I definitely recommend if you're going to be eating it even just a little bit later. This worked well for us, as we had about a 20 minute drive home. The mozz was fantastic and so was the roast beef. I would come back just to order both by the pound. I didn't love the bread, so I think my next step would be to just buy all the ingredients myself and then provide my own bread at home. Service was very prompt and friendly.

    On our way back from New York, we picked up our car and wanted one last quick, authentic food…read moreexperience before heading home. I had been saying for days that I was craving a good Italian deli sandwich, and my partner came across Vito's & Son Italian Deli in Hoboken. Well, it does not get much more authentic than this. What an experience. You know how some Italian restaurants say they make you feel like family? At Vito's, we actually felt it the moment we walked in. The welcome was warm, genuine, and immediate -- the kind of hospitality that cannot be faked. As we browsed the extensive deli menu, I had to ask what "mutz" meant. I am from Chicago, where we usually say "mozz," so this was my first time seeing it written in what I can only call New Jersey-ian. Without hesitation, they gave us a sample of their fresh, in-house-made mozzarella, and it was absolute perfection -- soft, fresh, creamy, and exactly what fresh mozzarella should be. We took several subs to go, and every single one was delicious. I had The Vito's, which was incredibly satisfying -- packed with that classic Italian deli flavor and everything I had been craving in a sub, and then some. My partner had The Sophia Loren, which was also full of flavor and definitely worth ordering again. My mom had what I ordered as a custom Caprese sandwich since I could not find it on the extensive menu -- mutz, fresh basil, tomato, balsamic vinaigrette, and herbs. It was so fresh, simple, and delicious. We also tried the arancini. The traditional one brought back memories of what used to be some of the best arancini in Chicago at Monastero's, which sadly is no longer around. That is not a comparison I make lightly. The cheese arancini was also wonderful, and the sauce was divine. Personal preference: I could have used just a touch more salt in the sauce, but the flavor was still excellent. Of course, we could not leave without dessert. The cannoli had the perfect balance of softness and crunch, and the filling was delicious. And naturally, we had to take home a pound of that fresh mutz. When we got home, we turned the leftovers into the perfect little Italian deli dinner. We thinly sliced the remaining halves of the subs, added fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette, and wine. It became a charcuterie-style dinner that felt like the perfect ending to the trip. Taking a detour through Hoboken was absolutely worth it. Some Italian restaurants claim to treat you like family, but at Vito's & Son, we truly felt it. We are already planning another stop on our next trip because we still need to try the homemade freezer dishes -- and, of course, the homemade tiramisu. If you have not been to Vito's & Son Italian Deli, do yourself a favor and go. Authentic, welcoming, delicious, and completely worth the detour.
