Mezza Luna Pizzeria

Service and food both are top notch! Best pizza we have ate in a long time.Don't let the little shopping center fool you.

UPDATE: disagree all you want., never mind the food clearly you have a following but you need to tweak your condescending attitude. You're no longer in NY. hmm how do I preface this; "if you're watching your salt intake come here"We were supposed to go to Daniel's or Anna's but I decided to try this one out based on the positive reviews. I'm starting to think the reviews are either made up or people just don't know the taste of a good real Italian food. I'm from NYC and have lived in Long Island most of my life where I've tasted the best Italian food there was. And based on what we've ordered this is not up to par with what a good Italian food should be.Let me start with the Chicken Alfredo; creamy yes, but not a hint of flavor or taste, no Parmesan cheese either, it's so bland. Our daughter who loves Chicken Alfredo couldn't agree more. The baked ziti; same thing, it's bland, can't even taste the tomato sauce and we had to add a ton of salt and pepper on both so we could eat it. The Seafood Fra Diavolo granted by its name it's spicy but man this is Szechuan level of spicy and it's paprika not tomato based. I'm not sure what spices they used but certainly not Italian, this one tastes so off. Too bad, I see so much people coming to this place when we were there. Service was fast but unfriendly and condescending. The old guy and old lady taking the orders were unpleasant. So much for customer service. Oh and they are pricier than other Itakian restaurants in the area, couldn't understand why. The place is a typical pizzeria vibe nothing special. We both agreed no way we're coming back.

I've spent a lot of time on Long Island, and I know what a good penne alla vodka tastes like. The secret is always in the sauce.Unfortunately, their vodka sauce doesn't taste anything like the real thing. No mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta either (I've never not had melted mozzarella cheese on top of penne alla vodka before I came here).Underwhelming and disappointing meal. They didn't bring any bread to the table for me but they did for others. I didn't try the tiramisu because $10 seemed like a bit much when Anna's in Apex (an Italian chain based in Long Island) has the same thing for $4.50. Granted, I don't know if the portions are larger here. However, I care more about quality than quantity.

Mezza Luna Pizzeria was highly recommended by my brother-in-law. After checking out their Yelp page, it was an easy decision. We called to order 2 pies for takeout on our drive back from the OBX.We ordered a large pepperoni pie and a grandma pie. We also added on 2 ordered of garlic knots. About an hour later we picked up our dinner.I loved the grandma pie! Yummy sauce, fresh basil, lots of melty mozzarella and delectable olive oil drizzle. The crust was crispy, not too thick with a nice chew. The pepperoni pie was very good as well. Pepperoni slices in every bite, not too greasy, classic NY crust. All around delicious pizza! The garlic knots were fantastic! Fresh garlic, so much flavor and perfect texture. They were great leftover, too. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won't be disappointed!

This spot was tasty. I've been looking for a good pizzeria with different pies and this might be it. I got the large grandma pie, large tipsy chicken pizza (vodka pizza), and crab ravioli. The staff was friendly, the food was done in about 20 minutes, and prices were fair. My total was around $75 for all 3 items. The grandma pie was great. I crave that pizza often and not many places make it like this. We all enjoyed it. The tipsy chicken pizza was great to me, but others agreed there could've been more vodka sauce because it felt a little dry and more flavor in the sauce. I think then it would've been a perfect pie because the crust was great and everything else was portioned perfectly.The crab ravioli wasn't amazing and tasted like the lump crab in the grocery store with no seasoning, but I think their other pastas could be great and I would come back again to try more.

We were so disappointed, there were lots of positive reviews so we were expecting the same. Walked in and the staff looked frazzled. We didn't know we had to be seated so they asked us to move 2x as they had a RSVP that NEVER showed up. The food wasn't great, very runny and missing flavors.One and done

Another great lunch at Mezza Luna in Apex!Ate in with hubby. Pizza arrived fast. So tasty.Owner Lucia is hospitable. Joint is bright and clean. Yes, I'll be back.

Mezza Luna Pizzeria was a fantastic experience. We got takeout on a rainy day and it hit the spot. When we picked up our pizzas, the owner was super nice; I ordered a gluten free meat lovers pizza, and she replaced the meatballs with extra sausage to ensure the pizza would be 100% gluten free. If you are gluten free, this is definitely the Italian spot to visit. We ordered the Lucy's fresh tomato (with added spinach and chicken), and the meat pizza. Both gluten free. They were absolutely outstanding. The crust wasn't like a thin crispy crust, as more gluten free pizzas are; it actually had some chew and a lot of flavor. Additionally, the pizzas were stacked high with toppings - you will definitely get your money's worth here.Overall, everything about our experience was great. I can't wait to come back and try their gluten free pastas!

This place was great. The couple who run the pizzeria waited on us were charming and authentic. The pizza we had was wonderful. The crust was amazing and the toppings wonderful. I miss the old Italian pizzerias from my youth and this place brought back some great memories. I am definitely putting this on my go to list.

Excellent pizza. In a strip mall. When you order a wierd name comes up on phone. Ignore it. You called the right place.
