Greenville: you don't know how lucky you are! When you step into this restaurant, you are IN ITALY! Owner Richard Williams went to Italy to study the advanced art of REAL Italian pizza, which is not very similar to the Americanized version you're used to. I stumbled across this place by chance, and found it amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming and you can see a lot of thought went into making the surroundings beautiful and "Italian." Richard was there, working alongside the staff, mingling with customers. When my pizza arrived fresh from the oven, I could not believe my taste buds. They take no shortcuts here! It's the real thing, and good luck finding a pizza this good in the States, outside a major metropolitan area. Wine and beer list is excellent, and just to cap it off: this restaurant is very reasonably priced! Go try it and see for yourself. read more

Excellent Neapolitan pizza - well balanced sauce and nice char on the crust from the wood fired oven. We enjoyed a 'pizza with sauce and cheese' and a 'crisp eggplant' (was a little nervous about the eggplant as they are large slabs but they were perfectly fried and tender). Both pies were delicious. Salad options are limited so we combined a 'dressed greens' and a 'panzanella' which worked great. We got takeout but the interior looked charming; if I'm in the area again it's definitely going to be a stop. read more

We sat outside and enjoyed our pizzas. I got a glass of prosecco as well. The server was very nice. My only suggestion would be making the outdoor seating area a little nicer. We will definitely come back. read more

Luna Pizza Cafe - Pizza and wine - Pizza Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Wait? I've never reviewed Luna Pizza Cafe? This is one of those things where I must have avoided it for so long because I love it so much and I was trying to gatekeep... although that's not really a thing if you're familiar with Greenville, NC. This is a downtown staple, right next to Pitt St Brewery. Pizzas are great and tiramisu even better. Probably my favorite thing on the menu, and the thing I crave the most often, is their salad with croutons, marinated tomatoes, salami, etc. Service is always great. Owner is always involved and serving customers. Beer and wine list extensive. Eat in at the bar or intimate tables or order to go. read more

I try to go to Luna every time I am back in Greenville. The pizza is one of my favorites and the eggplant app is amazing.

Great pizza, definitely the best I've had in Greenville. Also had the Panzanella, which was delicious. The people were friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in this town! The food is top shelf, atmosphere is nice and service is excellent!

There were 5 in our party on Saturday evening. Service was good. Waitress was attentive and helpful. The 4 pizzas we ordered were complete mush and had to be eaten with a fork to the crust. One pizza had to be remade as well. This was very disappointing. Tiramisu was pudding in a cup .. There is NO parking at the restaurant... ? read more

Wow I was shocked to find pizza this good in Greenville NC!!! Crust was banging just a little burnt on the edges just how I like it!! The appetizers (meatballs and the eggplant Melazani) were also awesome!!! Don't sleep on these country boys they know how to make a pizza here!!! 8/10 official score read more

Luna is a great lil artisan pizza joint. Food. The real star of the show is the eggplant appetizer. The eggplant is very crispy. The cheese is very cheesy. Combined together they make for the perfect combination of hot and tasty. The pizza is also very good but could be better. The complaint in a few of the reviews is that the crust in the middle is a bit oversauced and soggy. Those reviews are correct. If they can fix that I would bump the review up to a 5. Vibe. The buildout is nice. It is very intimate and well appointed. It is the perfect spot for a date or just hanging out with friends and family. I personally recommend setting at the bar, getting a cocktail, and getting down. read more

Shows open till 10, drove across town to try it. They closed at 8:25 yet people in there eating obviously fresh pizza. I never leave bad reviews, but that is wrong. read more

Food was average, service was horrendous - older lady behind the bar was argumentative, rude, and has no idea about bar cleanliness, using her fingers to reach into the jar of olives for a martini and using the same dirty dish rag to clean the counter and then make drinks with her dirty hand - not even sure there is a sink behind the bar never saw anyone was their hands. During our dinner a large man came out of the kitchen soaking wet sweaty to get water and then went back in. If you favor health safety and good service stay away from this place read more

In town for our kids soccer tournament and so glad we chose this place for lunch. I would not be surprised if the owner had made a few trips to Naples, Italy...the pizza is reminiscent of that area. The dough has that perfect mix of crunch and chew. The pomodoro sauce is well balanced and delicious and the toppings are fresh. This pizza is done right!! Please bring it to Morrisville, NC! Great service including bringing my pup some water without asking. She appreciated it! 10 stars! read more

Luna Pizza Cafe - Vegan Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

The pizza was excellent. We had a pepperoni pizza and a gluten free pizza which was reportedly very good. I highly suggest making a reservation because the place is small. The vibe of the restaurant is always great and has great service. The owner is always around and active. read more

Long wait, said it would take 30 minutes and ended up taking almost an hour. I tried to call to make a reservation and they wouldn't answer. Very rude service and they forget that you are even there. Food is just okay. overall i don't recommend going here. read more

We went here a week or so ago and it was so delicious! Our waiter was really nice and looked like a young Freddie Mercury. We both made our own pizzas and got the antipasto salad. The dessert was incredible and even though we shared it, I think I hugged most of it! The owner is so friendly and it's nice to talk to us when we go in. read more

Luna Pizza Cafe - Blueberry panicotta - Pizza Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Such a cute and yummy pizza cafe! Love the atmosphere! The owner provided my young children with tattoos and a small bucket of toys to play with! I consider myself a bit of a pizza snob, having grown up in New Haven, CT and being so close to NYC. Ive had some terrible Napoleon pizza before and Luna is absolutely amazing and my absolute favorite! The basil was so fresh and the mozzarella chunks were so tasty. I was provided extra sauce to dip my crust into and the spices in the sauce were heavenly! We love this pizza plan and will continue to eat here when in town! read more

Birthday party of seven. Easy to make a reservation. Ann our server was amazing and very accommodating for our rowdy crowd. Food was excellent. We had salad, meatballs, meatball subs and three different and delicious pizzas. Next time I'm going for the pasta! read more

Good food but really pricey. It's great that they are located right next to Pitt Street Brewing so you can have pizza and a beer but what we would call a small pizza is like $18! Don't get me wrong the pizza is good but be prepared to split something or two people are in for like $40 for pizza! read more

My fiancé and I have been in love with Luna since the day it opened. Whether it's food for date night or grabbing pizza to-go to eat at one of the breweries nearby, I always enjoy the food I get. Plus, their staff is absolutely wonderful. I've genuinely never had a bad experience and we've been going there for years. I also tell people that their spaghetti has ruined me on every other spaghetti because of how good it is. read more

Overall this is a nice upscale classic wood fire place in Greenville! I took my brother here for dinner and it didn't disappoint. Inside was classy and bar looked great. The pizza was perfectly crisped and service was fast. The prices were the same as how it looked, which was expensive. This place really fits the vibe of the whole district over near Dickinson avenue. read more

My husband and I have regular date nights. Do to my health; we have our special dinner dates at home and wanted to try a new Italien restaurant even though we actually have our 2 Italien restaurants that we are very pleased with. We should NEVER had ordered/delivered from Luna!!!! The Pizza's arrived "soaked/wet" so crust was mush, most of the toppings slid off. My husband ordered a 2nd dinner for him (which he usually does to "try" around) and ordered the Spaghetti with Meatballs....well what arrived was one (1) Meatball, Spaghetti overcooked, and barely any sauce!!! Come on; a basic Spaghetti w. Meatball and that can not even be prepared correctly? Let's talk about the size. My husband assumed that I ordered a "Kid's Meal" because the "Meal" came in a little squared white plastic box that is usually used to put 1 small piece of cake inside and NOT an ENTIRE meal!!!!! We also ordered the expensive Tiramisu and that is the ONLY Positive that it tasted good......BUT the price of 1 tiny piece is not worth the Delivery order. We could have purchased true authentic Italien food from our Italien Supermarket online and it would have been cheaper and had more quantity and quality!!!! We usually do NOT provide negative feedback for privately owned businesses because it's normal that a restaurant has a "bad day" but common all items that were ordered/delivered were either not edible, no quality vs price. Very sad that we can not add Luna to our special & regular Date Night delivery. At the end we paid $83,- for 2 people that ended up not eating any of the food other than my husband that ate both of our Tiramisu. Again, this is nothing personal but rather provides our authentic experience, frustration and disappointment. read more

Luna Pizza Cafe - Suppose to be Spaghetti with Meatball(s). Since this is a close up pic; the portion looks much bigger than what it was. - Pizza Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Best Pizza in Greenville. Had an issue with the wrong toppings but my server corrected it and had the kitchen make a whole new pie for me. Also the meatballs were top notch. Highly recommend! read more

I love Luna Pizza so much! Every time I come the staff is sp friendly and the food is always fresh and delicious! I took my dog and ate at the outdoor patio and they brought her out a water bowl and a couple pizza bones! Always a delicious and enjoyable experience! I got the bacon and jalapeño pizza last time and it was so tasty! I recommend coming here to anyone, just make sure to get reservations because they get busy so quickly! read more

Luna Pizza Cafe - Bacon & Jalapeño Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Due to COVID-19 we were only able to order for pick-up. We ordered the mushroom sausage pizza and one Cannon sandwich. We were told 20 minutes. When we arrived and dashed in for pick up the pizza was already done and waiting, but it was another 15 minutes for my sandwich. Despite being salty, the foot-long Cannon was awesome and two full meals. Great meatballs and sauce smothered in cheese. Heated up nicely the next day. Sorry, not as passionate about the chewy dough with nothing special toppings of a highly priced 12 inch pizza. Maybe we just aren't the artisan pizza types. I'd be willing to give this place another try, I'd like the experience of eating inside. From what I saw of the inside and the full bar, it looks like this old Coca-Cola bottling company would be great fun. Outside is cute with rusty metal sculptures in what's becoming a quirky artsy Dickerson Avenue Corridor in Greenville. read more

What a great place! Pizza is outstanding and the mushroom appetizer is delicious! Highly recommend.

Love Luna! The service is outstanding and the pizza is true Italy! While the ambiance may leave a little to be desired, the quality of the food more than makes up for any decorating shortfalls. If you want to experience true Italian pizza, Luna will give you the experience in every bite! read more

I love this place. It is a great spot for folks to experience the greatest pizza in Greenville. Everything about this restaurant is fresh- inviting and so comforting. I recommend ALL of my customers to go and enjoy. I have never been disappointed. The dining experience is amazing- the staff is amazing- the outdoor dining is amazing. They have a cucumber tomato salad that is all their own. Delicious!! Go and eat. Your tummy will be happy and your heart filled with joy!! read more

The only problem with this restaurant is it's a one-hour drive from our home in New Bern! We read about Luna's in "Our State" magazine and desperate for a real Neopolitan pizza, (other than my own homemade), we drove to Greenville today. We share a meatball starter and it was better than Mamas so we placed a second order to take home with us. My wife had a Proscuitto & Arugula pizza and I had the Margarita. Both were excellent and cooked to perfection in their 1250 degree oven. I give Luna's 5-stars and although it's a 2-hour RT, I declare it to be our "go-to," pizza restaurant when I haven't made my own dough, but feel like pizza! PS - Our server, Stephanie contributed to the great experience as did John, one of the owners and pizza chef, who took time to explain some aspects of their oven and his training in Firenze (Florence). read more

This place gets an A for effort and a C for execution. The wine from a box is not good. It is cheap, but not good. They used to pour a decent glass. The pizza is fair. Crust and sauce ok, the mushrooms piled high were pretty much raw. Picked them off. Salad get the mixed greens. Very good. I ordered 2 salads. The other one had crouton made from cement. Bottom line, it's pizza. If you want to offer a higher end experience, the details are important. It appears this place stopped caring. On the bright side, everything is fixable. read more

Before coming here I checked the menu and loved how they had panzanella, parmigiana/melanzane and panna cotta. And of course pizza! If you have to order anything, let it be pizza. It is a pizza place after all. Skip the appetizers because you can get pretty stuffed with just eating one. The pizza dough is soft and I dare say has a traditional texture to it. Another nice thing about this pizza place is that you can choose your own base: tomato or white sauce. And for those who suffer from heartburn or esophageal issues, being able to choose an alternative to a tomato-filled pizza is a big deal. Yay to the pizza. Please don't come here if your idea of good pizza is Pizza hut or Dominos. The pizza here will leave a true Italian impressed. Definitely come here for the pizza! Service is well-timed and prompt. Hip and trendy and perfect for a young professional's budget - not too sure it's prices are made with college students in mind. Clean place, good selection of wine and draught beer. Seating arrangement: mostly high tables and bar chairs. There are more desserts to go and try. You can stop reading here. All the good stuff is up there. Their appetizer melanzane needs a bit of work with the besciamella sauce cus it was a bit crumbly and almost had a texture of scrambled eggs. As you can see on the photo, it was also flooded with tomato sauce on top running off to the side. It could also benefit from more of the melted parmesan cheese. It was a good attempt on my favorite dish but it was definitely an "appetizer" - leaving me wanting to go straight to the main meal. Panzanella salad is really a salad made with stale or leftover bread. Which is a really tasty salad if done right. But the bread they used is too stale to be even made into a salad. Too hard and dense. Too much cucumbers on it too. Maybe more fresh basil leaves perhaps? If it wasn't for the mozzarella cheese and salami cubes, I'd think I'm actually eating Greek salad. Panna cotta with salted caramel syrup another favorite Italian dessert of mine. My go-to dessert when I invite friends over to my home. The panna cotta here wants to be panna cotta but is almost like milk jell-o. It's not as creamy as a custard should be. Maybe the salt (on the caramel syrup) should be less big? The salt that size is too empowering. It nearly masked the whole flavor of the caramel. Ugh. Desperately wanted to love this place. I may have just ordered the wrong stuff. Sigh. read more

5 stars every time. We love Luna - hands down best pizza, salad, spaghetti and meatballs, tiramisu!

After being delivered the wrong order and waiting over an hour for food, we won't be patronizing Luna Pizza Cafe for the foreseeable future.

HORRIBLE WAIT TIME TO RECEIVE MY FOOD! Me and some friends went here for dinner on 9/28/2024 and ended up waiting almost 2 hours to receive our food after the waitress had taken our order. I have no idea what was going on in the kitchen but it was absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if they were short staffed in the kitchen or if management is just that bad but there is no excuse for it. The only good thing about my experience was the waitress keeping drinks filled and being kind. I will not be suggesting this place to anyone. read more

Hm. Where should I start.. the only thing the was good was the Host and Server asking did we need help. I ordered a $17 pizza that was cut into four slices. The pizza was soggy overly sauced.. I also ordered an appetizer of mushrooms yuck. I've never in my life had a pizza so nasty. Paying $51 for 2 pizzas, appetizer and a salad was not worth it. The salad didn't even have any lettuce most cubes of cheese and 20 cherry tomatoes and like 6 pieces of hard sausage/ham I don't even know what it was. But that is my first and last time dinning at this restaurant. I was so disappointed I actually could've eaten a frozen pizza from the dollar store. I wish I could give a negative star. Maybe if the pizza was cooked longer in the stone cooking oven thing it might have been okay. Over all it was a 1/5 for me. read more

Atmosphere was great! Needed some tweaks for a perfect night. We got the prosciutto and arugula pizza which was good but but the arugula blew away in the wake of the fan. The pizza could have been cut more for easier eating. Overall 8.5/10 good date night. Needs improvement read more

While in town for my son's piano recital, we decided to eat at Luna being that it was right around the corner from where we were staying. Upon entering, they have outside seating options and the inside is just the right size. The staff was very professional and the place was clean. I ordered the cucumber martini, rather low in volume from what I am use too, however it was delicious. My son order the pepperoni, fancy type, and cheese. He enjoyed it. I ordered the white pizza with shitake mushrooms and arugula, again delicious. The pizzas came out rather quick and worth the wait. read more
