Experience: The line for these was long at the WTC Smorgasborg. I had to get them because I've been seeing them all over Instagram! These were darker and oilier than I had expected. Despite being freshly made, mine did not have a great cheese-pull factor which I was most disappointed at. Glad I finally got to try these. Open to trying them again. Perhaps it wont be fried so dark. Also looking forward to trying their garlic fries! Also available at the WTC Smorgasborg: fried cookie dough as a collab with cookie dō read more

Was disappointed to find out they reduced the menu and Chicken Parm Bites didn't survive the cut. Regardless, I got an order of their Classic Mozzarella Sticks which came with 4 pieces for $11. Already this was way too pricey for 4 mozzarella sticks. The order did came out very quick. They looked deep fried a little too long and upon biting into the sticks, there was not really a lot of cheese inside that would constitute it being worth $11. It was pretty empty inside the sticks which was very disappointing. The hype is definitely built over great Instagram photos and social media marketing, but definitely not worth your time and money. So please don't get fooled by the pretty pictures and posts. Quoting Public Enemy, "Don't believe the hype!" read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Maybe I messed up by not getting the mozzarella sticks, but I wasn't in the mood for fried cheese. I did get the caprese sandwich and waffle fries though and they were good, but nothing special. It was fun to sit at the bar and watch them make the food, especially the mozzarella sticks. They make good use of their small space! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Wow -- some serious cheese and burrata going on here -- plus our guy hand rolled it right in front of us. Talk about fresh! Got the "classic" for 16 bucks with a generous portion of cheese, salad and Amy's toasted bread to gild the lily so to speak. Wanted to try the chix parm and Cubano -- but have to save something for next time -- Chelsea Market can do that to you with all the yummy choice. read more

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 :)! read more

*STRICTLY ON MOZZARELLA STICKS* Perfect crunch on the outside, gooey mozzarella inside, the batter...golden brown, packed with lots of flavor (parsley, garlic, romano) - the Romano provided a great balance of stink and saltiness. Very generous on the size; for $11 you get 4 fatty sticks. Marinara sauce to finish these puppies off and VOILA cheesy, magic in your mouth. Cool your mouth off with some canned Pinot grig and you're all set! Service: all good things. end of story. read more

Big Mozz - Flavor explosion; mozzarella sticks! - Food Stands Near Me - New York, New York

I came here on their 4th day after officially opening and saw their menu. All their items looked pretty good, and I was already a big fan of their UrbanSpace stalls at Bryant Park and Broadway Bites. Since I arrived early about 15 mins prior to opening for the day, they were still prepping, but one of their staff members saw me reading their menu and told me to ask them if I had any questions, which I did. One of the items on their menu is "Garlic Fries". I asked if they can have melted mozzerella cheese on top (after all, who doesn't love cheese fries, especially with their homemade mozzerella, amirite?), and to my surprise, they were caught off guard with my request! Their head guy had to discuss with their staff what they could do, since he hasn't received a request like that before, and they quickly thought up of having "Loaded Fries", which is basically their delicious pulled pork with their fresh melted mozz cheese on top of their crispy waffle fries, with a sprinkle of cilantro. Man, it was AMAZING!! They're still new and their Loaded Fries is not yet on their menu, but definitely ask for it!! I was really shocked no one has made that request before, as I'm sure hundreds of people came here before me especially in their grand opening, but I guess (hopefully) they have a new secret menu option? read more

BEST MOZZARELLA STICKS EVER, hands down! I am a mozzarella sticks fanatic and found this spot via instagram and had to try it. I didn't know it was in the Chelsea Market. I was under the assumption it had it's own stand alone location, but nonetheless that didn't deter me from finding it and trying it. They give you a serving of 4 mozzarella sticks, which the sticks are actual gigantic so 4 will definitely fill you up. They put sprinkled parmesan cheese on top, along with other seasonings for a finished touch. They are so delectable. Also the workers at the location are very kind. read more

Great food in a great location. I've eaten here twice and it's the best fried mozzarella I've ever eaten. My daughter made me drive her here from jersey for some mozzarella. It's so good that we never get anything else. I promise that next time I'll explore the menu. If you stop in Chelsea Market, make sure you get an appetizer of mozzarella here. read more

Wasn't the biggest fan of Big Mozz but worth a try. I Read great reviews going in and was so excited to take my client there. What confused me most was two mozz sticks for $5 and four mozz sticks for $11. I could have saved a dollar and ordered two orders of two. Not sure the logic on that one. Now to the review *drum roll* T mozzarella sticks were 6.8 out of 10. I grew up in an Italian family and have been served great mozzarella sticks my whole life so consider myself a good judge and that a good score. The cheese itself was very milky, soft and fresh and the sticks definitely had a nice crunch to them. They sprinkle grated cheese and salt which is suppose to give a nice final touch. I ended up getting two orders and thought both were very salty. What makes the experience is the process of watching the staff make the cheese and sticks throughout the different stations. The staff was also had a good vibe and gave a positive energy to the meal. I also split the Brooklyn Cubano which I thought was exceptional for a pre made sandwich (7.5/10). I was nervous when they pulled out a Cuban already made, questioning what I ordered. I wouldn't have even known it was pre made after it was pressed and plated. The easy Carolina pulled pork gave a great taste with each bite and the Mozzarella had a rich fresh taste to it. The Biellese prosciutto stole the show and would have you coming back for the sandwich. It was topped with homemade pickles and mustard to give a great finish. read more

Even more amazing than the food, was Anna who was working! And the food was AMAZING! We were there 25 minutes before closing which was no doubt less than fun for her working and she served and cooked by HERSELF with a smile and the food was SO good. Their mozzarella sticks were to die for, waffle fries crunchy & salted to perfection. One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've found in the city so far, even cut like a real Cuban! The burrata -OMW- the process to watch was a work of art! Chicken parm was so good. It had been a long day and that time of the evening, our hopes weren't super high at finding fresh food because we knew It was close to closing time. But we were proved wrong at the Big Mozz!! Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Perfect mozzarella sticks. I had them first In Bryant Park and have been thinking about them for a long time. I just had them at the market it Chelsea.

Sooo good. Perfect cheese , perfect crispness and just a delightful mozzarella experience. Not only was it excellent but The staff didn't make me feel bad for mentioning my dilemma. Great experience.

I've always seen this place in the Smorgasburg and sometimes in temporary stand but i'm glad it final has a stable spot close to where I live. This place has always made my favorite mozzarella sticks and they taste even better here. Since they make their mozzarella fresh, it makes it all the more tasty. What's even better is that their menu contains sandwiches and other treats as well. I tried the Chicken Parm Bites and Cubano sandwich. They make everything fresh there and make it when it is ordered so you are not given something from before. The chicken bites were amazing with great flavor in the chicken and cheese. They also give a good amount of them for their small sizes you aren't left wanting more for your money. The cubano sandwich was also delicious as just everything was made so well and the ingredients were perfectly put together so none of them ever took up as much as the other. The mozz sticks are even better here cause they make the cheese and bread it their so it's even more gooey and beautiful. I love this place already. read more

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? read more

THIS. IS. AN. NYC. MUST. VISIT. Their mozz sticks are basically the best I've ever had in my life. The crispy coating is authentic, crisp, perfectly fried, warm, and extremely tasty. The mozz inside was so fresh. We sat at the restaurant and watched them make mozz from scratch and the worker even handed us a little piece to taste (probably because we were staring intently, haha). There's so much more on their menu to check out, but I'll be back over and over again for their mozz sticks alone. They serve them with some fresh marinara on the side too - it's a nice little touch. The order comes with 4 relatively large sticks. So share with 4 people, or share with 2 people if you're hungry and can handle a ton of cheese (which luckily, I can!) read more

Best mozzarella sticks i've ever had here! They're $11 and there's 4 of them but they're absolutely amazing. I would definitely come back here just for the mozz sticks.

I arrived 8:10 PM on August 12 to the Chelsea market location. They had none of the items I desired. They were all out of mozzarella, out of both versions of Burata - only had chicken Parmesan and mozzarella sticks. I expressed my displeasure to the staff who were ignoring most of the customers rather than providing service. I explained that I had traveled a long distance specifically to buy mozzarella. The staff told me to "Get Lost. Yes they actually told me to "Get Lost." I sent an email to the supervisors email link on their homepage no response. If you want to be treated rudely, deal with staff that don't want to provide service, and not to get any mozzarella you should consider going here read more

The only reason I was here is because my daughter, the picky eater, considers mozzarella sticks to be a food group. These were sticks on steroids!

But I will allow them to get away with it because these sticks are the highest form of the art. read more
