There is a late B flat major piano sonata for piano solo which is really lovely. Why i prefer it is because he later ADDED a solo violin part without altering the piano part, which makes is also a violin-piano sonata. Therefore, if you get great at it and later find a good violinist, you can also play duets without having to learn another separate piece.
However, that being said, there is an earlier D Major piano sonata with a theme and variation last movement, which is spectacular and so melodic and at times vibrantly boisterous and energy filled. It's not programmed too often, but it is a favorite of mine.
I've played both

The sonata that Legandivori is talking about is the Sonata in D, K. 284. This is a gem that should be better known.
By the way, the 11th variation in the final movement is a great piece to learn how to improvise ornaments in Mozart's style, since the right hand part exists in a simplified version (the autograph) and one with ornaments written out (the first publication). Modern editions give you both.

The piano sonata in C minor K.457 is my favorite to play. It is an unusual Mozart piano sonata because it is a little darker than most of his other ones. It is a very interesting piece and it's enjoyable to listen to and to play. All three movements are great and playing it is very satisfying and a lot of fun. Overall, I enjoy playing it so much because it's interesting and I can relate to it.

I've been quite taken by the little C-major sonata, K. 545, from the first time that I heard it. It's probably the easiest of the sonatas to play (although still beyond my abilities; I think that I'll stick to guitar). I like the ascending/descending runs in the first theme, I like the way the each starts a little lower, I like the somewhat abrupt ending to the theme. As always, Mozart surprises, but the surprise is always the right thing.
