Mozzi's Pizza is a five-location, Hancock County-based mini-chain of pizza joints that I thought for sure I had visited in Richmond - however, I was assured that all their locations are in Hancock County - two in Greenfield, one in New Palestine, one in Mt. Comfort, and one in Fortville.
This location is located directly on U.S. 40 in Greenfield. The location is decorated with a strong basketball theme that is fun to experience including a nicely decorated Reggie Miller display. They do have a daily buffet, though I had just missed it when I arrived. I had the day off work and decided to go for a drive on the eastside. After checking out options, I stopped at Mozzi's for a late lunch.
They have two accessible parking spots out front, though they're not quite ADA. They do have a nice curb cut and due to my arrival just outside the usual lunchtime I had no difficulty finding a spot where I could get in/out in the wheelchair.
The entry involves two different sets of doors (as I recall, they're both double-sided). A rather nice customer stopped and opened both for me.
As you enter, you go straight to pick-up or order. To the left is a dining area that also has two smaller rooms (one room is not wheelchair accessible as it has a step, however, the main room is just fine and the side room is just fine).
The main employee I dealt with was super friendly. She was definitely a selling point for the restaurant. She was helpful, conversational, and we discussed everything from Greenfield to a Franklin, Indiana bookstore.
As it was a holiday, I made a note that police must've been bored because I'd been followed multiple times in Hancock County. She made a joke about the county being known as "hancuff" county. I guess you had to be there (It was funny!), though it was clear they have a positive relationship with the local police.
I ordered a small pepperoni pan pizza. It was definitely bigger than expected (I believe eight slices instead of the usual six). I made the mistake of also ordering garlic bread - way too much food. They carry Pepsi products and do have iced tea.
I did enjoy the pizza, though it was a touch overly done. I do like mine with a crispness, though this was a bit much. It honestly could have easily served two in my opinion. If I'd gotten there for the buffet, pricing would have been reasonable. However, at $19 I did feel like it was a bit steep. Not bad, but I'd definitely focus next time on arriving for the buffet or skipping the side item.
3.5 is probably a more accurate rating. This was a good meal, however, it was really the employee and the atmosphere that sold it for me. Dining out is my main socialization since I live alone and don't have family around - this was a pleasant experience and the type that makes you want to return.
So, I'm skewing upward to the 4-star rating. In addition to pizza, they have salads, calzones, some sandwiches, pasta, appetizers, a handful of desserts, and they do have some beer options.
While I can't say this was a destination experience, I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. read more
