    Grandma Pie
    Kristine S.

    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!

    The service, atmosphere, and the pizza was delicious! My daughter had some butter noodles and they hit the spot! Good price for everything too.

    crab ravioli
    Melissa Z.

    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.

    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!

    Used to go here a couple of years ago when it was Ashley Harvest Moon for breakfast, been wanting…read moreto try Spazio for ages. I knew it was a local fine dining restaurant, but just making reservations was an interesting experience. (Call and leave a message, there's no open table. There's a form to fill out. What?" As soon a we arrived we realized a reservation wasn't necessary as we were the only guests there for 30 minutes or so. My wife and I ordered: Glass of Wine, Ravioli, a Roman Pizza, a side of green beans, and a desert of tiramisu. The food was quick as we were the only ones there for a while as other guests came in. But as other recent reviews indicate, the menu options are pretty small, but the pricing and ambiance doesn't meld. I expected more redesign of the dining area that was used by the former restaurant; but that wasn't the case. It was a bit small dining room. I'll go back for an appetizer or glass of wine due a gift, but the pricing is too high for the food and the portion size that you get.

    We booked an outdoor igloo for what was supposed to be a special night out with friends, and…read moreinstead got a cold, confusing, overpriced dinner that honestly felt like a parody of a "premium experience." First -- the ordering rules were never explained. Four adults sat down and each ordered an entrée, only to be told that apparently we were only supposed to share one entrée and one pasta for the entire table. How exactly are four people -- especially with dietary restrictions -- supposed to eat that? It made no sense, and the confusion led to us ordering extra just so everyone could actually eat. The igloo itself was freezing. There was one tiny heater doing its best, but only the person sitting directly in front of it was comfortable (YAY ME!). The rest of our party spent the night cold and distracted instead of enjoying dinner. It would get a little warm and then a server would unzip the dang igloo and leave the flap open and we were back to freaking COLD. Food timing was chaotic -- two meals came out, and the other two arrived about 20 minutes later. One guest who is lactose intolerant was hungry while waiting and asked for more bread, only to be told no. That's not hospitality -- that's just frustrating. Like... you can't bring the cold hungry man some bread? I'll PAY for the tiny pieces of crust but good Lord, just poor hospitality. Then the bill arrived: about $437 when we expected closer to $330, largely because of the unclear ordering situation. They SHOULD have 1. explained the "deal" better 2. automatically taken something off of the bill due to the additional meals being 20 full minutes behind the other people at the table. 3. Brought bread when asked ffs. They did take one of the "additional" meals off, so to be fair... when pushed... they did fight back, make a bit of a scene and ultimately took some off the tab. It was never about the $$ by the way... but paying over $400 for a sub par meal in Holly Springs in a cold igloo will be a good story I suppose. And the biggest disappointment of all -- the food simply wasn't good. At all. For the price and the hype, the quality just wasn't there. The lasagna was bad. Risotto pretty good honestly but not great. We are easygoing people who go out often, tip well, and genuinely want to support local restaurants. But this felt disorganized, uncomfortable, and not worth the risk -- especially when we've since heard similar feedback from friends. It's a shame, because the concept could be fun with better communication, warmer setups, and much better food. Unfortunately, we won't be back. We left colder than when we arrived and not happy with the food at all. Just no... go elsewhere.

    We came here for the first time yesterday and I thought the food was great. We were seated right…read moreaway. Our server came in greeted us. She was very nice and pleasant. The restaurant was busy in the kitchen was backed up, so there was a little bit of a delay, but the manager did take care of us by offering us a comp salad. We had this Sicilian meatballs as an appetizer the house salad that you entrées we had was the rigatoni Bolognese and the shrimp oreganatta. Both pasta dishes had good flavor, a little bit of spice as well as the meatballs in case you were not a spicy fan. It did have a little bit of a kick. We would come back again.

    Our party of 13 came in with a 6 PM reservation on a Wednesday night. We ordered the calamari and…read moresome pizzas to share. All were just fine, and nothing amazing. For my main, I had the Penne Sardi (penne pasta with chicken, wild mushrooms, and caramelized onions in tomato cream sauce; topped with oregano & garlic breadcrumbs and baked to finish). This was heavy and reminded of something you'd get at an Olive Garden. The portions are huge and basically everyone had leftovers for the next day. One weird thing to note - when ordering, the waitress asked if we wanted a soup or salad. This made it seem like the entrees came with a soup or salad but really, she was asking if we wanted to add this on. It was just a matter of miscommunication, but it would have been nice if they were more clear on it. I'm not sure what the Italian restaurant scene looks like in this area (since I was just visiting), but I felt like this was chain restaurant quality at almost NYC prices. Not sure if it's worth checking out.
