No wait, no fuss, just good ole' fashioned, NY slice Pizza.
And, if you don't know what a NY slice is, it's when you walk into a pizza joint and you ask for a slice, and the person behind the counter knows better than to ask you if you wanted chicken terryaki on it. They know, you just want a slice of "cheese" without having to say, cheese.
I was amazed that people on this left coast don't know what "slice" means.

The wife and I went to Mozza's last year and had a very wonderful meal, but I would confirm B's conclusion that it's not NY pizza. It's more Cal cuisine like Spago or CPK. I would also agree with B that Albano is an excellent choice for NY style pizza, but Tony's Little Italy in Placentia is the best.
If you're going to do Italian in the Melrose District but don't want do pizza, then go to Angelini Osteria on Beverly. It's my favorite Italian restaurant, it's affordable ($50-75/2), and the food is damn good.
Sidenote: Mozza's is located in the same building complex as the old Emilio's which closed back in the early 90's. Every restaurant that occupied it's place since then has failed and there probably has been 3 or 4. It's kind of an ill-fated corner. Hopefully Mozza's breaks that string.
