Deaf-owned eatery with pristine wood-fired Neapolitan & GF pizza
"While Mozzeria’s pizza is decent, it’s how you experience the H St. restaurant that makes it worth visiting. The deaf-owned pizzeria centers deaf culture, so American Sign Language (or a lot of pointing for anyone who isn’t fluent) is used from the moment you walk through the door. There’s a small bar and dining room, which gets busy pretty quickly. A video about the restaurant—including its design that makes it easier for the staff to communicate with each other no matter where they are in the dining room and kitchen—plays on a loop above the host stand. The menu has a number of vegetarian and vegan options, plus a solid mocktail selection, including the When Life Gives You Lemons, a tart thyme lemonade served in a martini glass." - Tristiaña Hinton
"Mozzeria has garnered praise for its focus on ending the employment gap faced by members of the deaf community, but the pizza made in its 5,000-pound Stefano Ferrara oven is also worthy of attention. Its Neapolitan pizzas can be made with a 10-inch gluten-free crust for an additional $4." - Eve Batey
"Mozzeria in San Francisco is recognized for being designed with true accessibility in mind for wheelchair users." - Janelle Bitker
"The Mission’s deaf-owned restaurant not only churns out pristine, wood-fired Neapolitan pies but also GF versions of its popular margherita and peking duck pizzas, so no one has to miss out." - Eater Staff
