The pizza is amazing! Stopped in without looking up reviews, and we got lucky! We tried two different slices and they were both outstanding. Crispy thin crust - the best we've had in a long time! Great flavor and just the right amount of cheese. Can't wait to go back. read more

Best pizza in NY!!! The chicken parm pizza is SPECTACULAR. the crust is thin but crunchy. the toppings are the perfect amount. It's the best pizza. BBQ chicken is also delicious. Slices are HUGE. Definitely worth it. The workers are nice and whip up your pizza slice quickly. They warm it up immediately so it's always fresh read more

I came here on a whim having seen the reviews on Yelp. This pizza is certainly a very large slice, but its quite costly for the slice. The plain slice was only okay. We did enjoy the margarita slice though! Not sure if we'll come again though. read more

Mezza Luna Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

My First stop of my personal journey to find the best Pizza in the NYC (by Borough) starts at Full Moon pizza in the Bronx. (In order to find and determine the best pizza I will be ordering a Large Cheese pizza. I will not try and order the pizza parlors special combinations. A pizza could be judged by how fantastic their simple cheese pizza is). Now let me first start off by saying that Full moon pizzas are HUGE. The staff, when I ordered a large pie, looked at me like I was crazy and tried to warn me how big the pie was. Given that, I was surprised by how huge the pie was (however I did finish it in one sitting). Let's start the review with price. For an entire cheese pie, the price was 25.50. that's excellent considering one pie could feed 2-4 hungry people. The pizza was great. the sauce flavorful, not too much cheese to ruin the crust, sauce, and cheese ratio. The crust was crispy and a little chewy throughout the whole slice. So when you fold it, the slice did not flop. because of the crispiness of the crust, it held together folded throughout the whole process of eating it. The texture of the crust throughout the slice gave the eating experience a pleasure texture and enough contrast. The reason this pizza is not a 5/5 is that the crispiness of the crust is extended throughout the slice, so the end crust turned into almost a cracker crunch. It made the ends of the pizza (the crust) almost inedible to me. If you like your crust thin and crispy like a cracker, then this would be perfect, but I prefer eating a slightly crispy but chewy crust. This crust was too crispy at its end. Overall, a 4/5 more like a 4.3/5 if that was a rating on yelp. The ambiance is great. It's a local favorite in the little Italy section of the Bronx. Which a lot of other options in the area, this one stands out a little above the rest. A lot of Variety of slices and pies as well. A worthy slice and pie in the Bronx. IF you are looking for a local favorite, Full Moon check that box. (bonus: The Garlic Knots looked like a local favorite as well) . read more

This was my first time here. I got a slice of pizza and the meat Stromboli with mozzarella. The slice was really tasty, a little thinner then I'm used to but still delicious. The crust was crunchy with a bit a chew to it. Not to much sauce and the right amount of cheese. I gave the Stromboli to my mom so I didn't get to try it lol. I will surely be going back read more

Ordered dinner for the parents, to be sent via DoorDash. They've told me that this is their favorite pizza in the area, and they've always raved about the mushroom pizza and how despite the higher price, the slices they stop in to get, are well-made and well-topped. So while there are many other options in the area for pizza, I decided to pay more and order from here. I was not impressed with the Large Mushroom Pie. Slices seemed large indeed but the pizza itself as far as sauce, cheese and mushroom topping - were underwhelming. Also, they choose not to allow/accept any Special Requests or Notes on DoorDash. So while they have Sodas on the menu, there is absolutely no way to indicate which soda you want. They sent Pepsi, whether or not we had any choice. House Salad was standard, so again, on the higher side as far as price for something very basic. I know that they get great reviews, and my parents do enjoy it - but perhaps they're good with in-person, dine-in more so, and aren't as meticulous when it comes to delivered food. read more

This piece of pizza made my heart burst. I loved it more than words could express. The crust. The sauce. The cheese. The sausage. These are the 4 elements of the perfect pizza. When i first moved to this neighborhood, i couldn't find a good pizza spot. One day as i was roaming the neighborhood i saw her. She was beautiful. Exquisite. Breathtaking. A wonderful smell lured me towards her pizza. As i curiously opened the door, my nostrils were filled with even a more exquisite smell, the perfect pizza. I felt like a bergen, and this pizza spot was my Poppi. The service is immaculate. The community is amazing, and i always feel welcome. Thank you. read more

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie..from Full Moon Pizzeria.. that's amore! Absolutely loved this pizzeria in the heart of little Italy. It felt so good to walk in here and catch up with the owner and parlare un po d'italiano with this paesano. The pizza pies are huge and the slices even huge-er! Loved how thin the dough is and all the delicious toppings to choose from. My favorite was the broccoli rabe one but there were endless options coming out. Warm plates also available. Loved to come here and grab a bite and just listen to Tiziano Ferro, Eros Ramazzotti and all these amazing artist on the radio while I stuff my face. Felt a little melancholic and brought me back home. Grazie full moon for the pizza! Can't wait to be back! read more

I was really excited to try this place because I pass it all the time but I wasn't a fan. $6 for "specialty" slices. The white pizza had tomatoes on it which I didn't love. The issue with the slice was how mushy it was. The super thin crust also made it a bit challenging. The weight from all the mushy ricotta was just a bad mix. The spinach artichoke pizza was also a bust. There was soooo much spinach and then one big piece of artichoke. Again, no real seasoning to it and thing crust. The staff was super nice but I won't be back. read more

Walking by we saw some folks chowing down on what looked like some tasty slices of pizza so we decided to stop in and see what the fuss was about Slices here are a little on the pricey side $6 for a single slice. The crust was crispier than I would normally like but that's a personal preference Grabbed a slice of the white pizza and thought the toppings tasted fresh. I would go back if in the area but with so many awesome pizza places we may try another next time. read more

I been eating pizza from Full Moon since I was a kid! Pizza slices were always big but they have definitely gotten bigger. The pizzera is rarely empty so that speaks to their great service all year round. It's a corner spot pizzeria. Cozy space inside despite at times being packed. It also has outdoor seating for the warmer weather. My favorite slices are the chicken slice, pepperoni and sausage, and no one can ever go wrong with a classic cheese slices. The pizza option are endless. You won't find a $1 slice but the price for their slice is definitely worth it. Oh... and the garlic knots!! Amazing. Full Moon is a Bronx staple. read more

Full Moon Pizza is a New York-style pizzeria that opened up in the Bronx, New York in 1976. It is owned by the Petti Family, who immigrated to New York City from Nocera Inferiore, Italy around 1970. Located in the heart of the Bronx's "Little Italy" neighborhood, the eatery was originally home to the Half Moon Restaurant. When it was converted to a pizzeria in 1976, the name was changed to "Full Moon". Stan Petti bought the restaurant in 1978. His parents Jerry and Marie helped out in the kitchen and his sisters Nancy and Joanne worked as waitresses and counter help. The pizzeria immediately became popular with students at Fordham University. Aside from students and "Little Italy" locals, several celebrities have also stopped in the pizzeria over the years. Today, Stan works alongside his son Gerardo. In addition to their pizza, Full Moon also makes calzones, paninis, wraps, subs, pasta dishes, and various Italian entrees. My wife and I first visited Full Moon Pizza in December 2019. We were visiting the Bronx Zoo with some friends to see their Holiday Lights display. Afterwards, we were all pretty hungry so we decided to take a walk to Little Italy nearby. When we walked by Full Moon Pizza, we thought, "what about this place?" We walked in and the place smelled great. We looked over the menu and decided to split a large Buffalo Chicken pizza. The crust was nice and crispy, the chicken was very flavorful, and the Buffalo sauce had just enough heat. We were all very satisfied! read more

HUGE slices!! Service is good. Good offering of different varieties, including vegetarian slices. Vegan slices are hit or miss. But, their price point!!! One of the best bangs for the buck in all of the five boroughs!! We will be back! read more

Delicious pizza and quite a selection to choose from. Right on the corner of Arthur Ave in the Bronx. Absolutely a must have.

True NY pizza. read more

The service and food was amazing! I worked with Joe for a larger order for a Food Bank for New York City volunteering event, and he was incredibly accommodating. Not only did he throw in a few pies and a salad in-kind, he delivered the pizza himself and was incredibly patient when I was delayed in receiving the order. Delicious and fantastic customer service! read more

Solid NYC style pizza. The slices are generous, the crust is crispy, and the cheese to tomato ratio is practically perfect. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's the best pizza in the city, but it's solid. I wish there was more herb or garlic flavor in the sauce. Also, I recommend getting the garlic knots. read more

Rolls: a surprising find, but delicious! We pointed at the things on the counter not knowing what they were. Turns out: they were rolls! $7 each. After a quick blast in the oven, the dough crunched up, the cheese was gooey, the generous heaps of meat and sauce were warmed through. Marinara sauce was a nice addition. We were deciding between these and the calzones, which also looked solid. We chowed down at the outside tables under the awnings: essential, because it was pouring! We were passing through on our way to the botanical garden and were recommended this place by the staff at a bakery down the street. Great recommendation. read more

Customer service here is top notch. Pizza is excellent. When and if in the Bronx, this is the place to visit for Pizza. Typical home town Italian Pizzeria. Very busy and very cool all in one. Always a great experience when visiting. Would definitely return and would absolutely recommend. read more

Something I love about Yelp is when you see good reviews online, and then go to the place IRL and it is seriously poppin'. I mean, who knew the place would be so busy at 3:30pm on a Wednesday?! Loves: 1. Cards accepted (yay!) 2. One slice is enough. It's HUGE. 3. Reasonable prices for the size ($5.50 for a specialty slice) 4. Pizza is yummy and got a slight crunch which I looove. Not so loves: 1. The seating gets full quickly bc the spot is popular, so just wait a bit or sit outside. 2. It's about a 15min walk to the subway. Meh. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised when coming here and I would surely come back again for some yummy pizza on Arthur Ave! read more

I enjoyed it so much I decided to "Full Moon" the customers, and let me tell you, you haven't seen The Bronx until you've seen it from the inside of a South Bronx Jail Cell. What to get: A slice What not to get: Arrested for mooning the customers Didn't want to love this pizza, but oh wow, I so did. Definitely my 2nd fave slice that I've had in The Bronx, after Louie & Ernie's. Delicious margerita with succulent fresh mozzarella. Loved it, and each slice is ginormously huge. I only wanted a few bites (since I was on my way to Queens Summer Stunner - a Yelp party), but I ate a lot more than expected. The best pizza places I've ever had (anywhere in the world) are in Queens but Brooklyn and Manhattan and Bronx all have some pretty stand-up and potentially life-changing pizzerias, and this is well worth a try if you are in the neighbourhood. There's nothing like a Full Moon Pie, except my boyfriend says he'd prefer to Fill my Moon Pie, but I'm not sure he's talking about the same thing. read more

Pros: - best slices you will find in the area - really fresh sauce - slices are huge. Like HUGE. - can grab a slice and find a seat (yes they have outdoor seating) Cons: - slices are expensive. Personally I would almost rather them have smaller, less expensive slices so I could try different types they make. Oh well. From what I've tried I like the meatball and margherita slices the best. They also have a good assortment of beverages and make some nice salads too. Service is friendly and kind. Gets really busy around lunch time. read more

Grabbing a slice on Christmas weekend was likely not the best idea but totes worth it! Apparently, I had to travel all the way to Bronx's Little Italy in order to find a much-needed ingredient for an entrée I would make on Xmas. On our way to a bakery, we passed Full Moon and hubby was immediately taken back to his days when he worked in the area at the local hospital. After purchasing my baked goods, we doubled back and split a regular slice. It took some time for hubby to bring out the slice but I was happy once it made its way to my gullet. I want to go back and try a white spinach slice ASAP. read more

We got here at the end of the night, but we're able to grad some regular slices. The pizza was very good with crunchy crust and a cheesy slice. The service was quick and served hot. There is outdoor seating area as well as inside. Would definitely visit again in the area read more

For starters, they charge $6 for a single specialty slice. That's insanity. Additionally, the sauce is bland, ordered a chicken parm pizza slice and all I tasted was the crust. It could use SALT. I've never tasted breaded chicken that tastes like nothing. I know they're 40 years in business, but I'd hope that I'm not the first person to tell them that they have bland pizza. Please try harder. read more

Great New York style pizza always try to grab a few slices when in that part of New York City!

As a new student at Fordham University, I've been dying to find new places to eat near campus. After walking around the area with my dad, we found this place that a friend recommended to us awhile back. This little pizza place just a few blocks from school is amazing! There are tons of slices to choose from and everything tastes fresh. The grandma's pizza was by far my favorite. The sauce was the freshest sauce I've ever had. This place is a little bit expensive, but you should still check it out. I can definitely see myself being a regular here during my time at Fordham. read more

My favorite place to grab a slice, or even a plate of pasta. This place is possibly the best of the Bronx.

On recommendation from my buddy I stopped by for dinner during my work day. They a had nice long counter/display area with a myriad of pizza choices. There however was no plain cheese slices. I decided on a white slice and a chicken parm slice. The two slices and a bottle of seltzer were over $13. Not a bargain. We didn't eat there, so it was boxed up. About 10 min later the pizza was barely warm. The slices were a nice size. The white was delicious. The cheese and fresh tomatoes were really tasty and definitely hit the spot. The chicken slice was ok at best. Definitely repeated on me all night long. The food was ok, the place was nice, but it's pricey. read more
