Medium pizza with jalapeños, garlic, breaded eggplant and spinach!
Rachna K.

This is probably my new favorite pizza place in Jacksonville! The hair salon I go to is right around the corner from this place so I've passed it many times and finally decided to try it last week. The crust was very crispy but not overdone and the breaded eggplant was a must! It was around $22 for a medium pizza with 4 toppings which I thought was reasonable. We also got their Greek salad which was good! I tried an Italian alcoholic seltzer they had as well and loved it. The restaurant is a casual place but great service.

I rarely give 5 stars, but this place deserves it. So attentive, courteous and delicious. Grabbed a custom calzone which was divine! Even got to watch one of my favorite movies while enjoying dinner.

We ordered a pizza to-go and walked over from Fishweir Brewing to grab it. It was just what we needed while watching some football and having some beers. The size was perfect for our group size. Made our own with sausage, banana peppers, and green peppers. I personally would've preferred crumbled sausage instead of sliced but it was still very yummy, and had plenty of cheese! I will definitely be back and stay to eat vs taking to go. To-go service was quick and easy

Receipt

This has now happened twice in less than a month. The first time, the bottom of the pizza was badly burnt. To their credit, the manager replaced it free of charge and the remake was excellent. Unfortunately, I returned today and experienced the same issue again (see photos)-- the entire bottom of the crust was charred and overcooked. When the pizza is made correctly, it's very good, but the inconsistency is frustrating, especially at this price point. I also don't feel customers should have to call the manager each time to get a properly made pizza. I'm hoping they can address the oven timing and quality control so this doesn't continue happening.

Delicious enormous slices of pizza, every time we go! My husband always thinks he should order two and we always bring one home LOL. The staff is chill, super helpful with refills etc. I've seen families, dates, sports teams, just about everyone enjoying this place. They have a couple of tvs, and they serve beer (draft and bottles) and wine, but the foods are the star of the show! Thin crust pizzas, toppings galore, calzones... shake some of that G-spot on top if you like a little spice... don't sleep on the Greek salad either. Check out Moon River, well worth the effort to get yourself to Murray Hill!

One of my favorite local pizza places is always a great choice. I love that they serve beer and cider on tap. Whether you're ordering a slice or a whole pie, everything is made to order. The service is consistently excellent, with staff frequently checking in to ensure you have everything you need. The pizza slices are a generous size, and the restaurant is kept clean. I also enjoy that they play movies on the TVs; during my recent visit, they were showing *The Mask*.

Interior decor

Discovered a treasure in Murray Hill this past weekend in Moon River Pizza. I don't know the origin story but it seems like some GenXers got together, decided to open a great pizza restaurant with the goal to make great food and create a fun atmosphere with impeccable service. We entered and ordered. We were complimented on our order and told that we had to try the balsamic glaze with our fried eggplant pizza and it was great advice. We were given a marker for our table. It wasn't numbered. It was an artistic rendering of Molly Ringwald wearing a Judd Nelson T-shirt. The interior is artistic and eclectic with local art on the walls and there are a couple of TVs that featured the Army/Navy game. Stickers lined the kitchen. It was like a 90s dorm room or apartment. Everything we ordered was great. The cheese calzone just had immaculate dough and the sauce was perfect. Tangy, not sweet. The epitome of what sauce should be. The medium fried eggplant pizza was actually rather large compared to other pizza locations in the area. The pizza was good on its own. I added a bit of oregano and red pepper but the balsamic glaze made it a home run. Alt rock was playing quietly in the background and several times while we were eating, our drinks were topped off and everyone on the staff paid close attention to everyone there and they seemed to legitimately enjoy doing it. Their attitude was infectious. Great outing, great place. We'll be back for sure...often. If you haven't tried Moon River Pizza, I highly suggest you do. This place is fantastic!!!

White Pizza + bacon
Michael S.

A vintage, chill, friendly place to have a fantastic pizza! Ordered the large white pizza and added bacon, just to make sure I would have left overs for the next day. The crunch, and mix was flavors is a hard one to compare to other places. While waiting and eating my pizza I was not the only one excited that they had the Mummy playing, it seems like we had made it to a Pizza Movie night lol Service was fantastic, and we were even treated to some delicious chocolate cupcakes. Coming back soon!

Veggie calzone
Nichole L.

Went with a friend and had calzones (funny shape, serious flavor) for dinner. It must've been kids night because there were several of them there with Disney on the TV. Surprisingly, it was well tamed, and everyone was very well mannered (no screaming Mimi's, thank you!!). The wait-staff were great and very attentive, stopping by on several occasions to make sure everything was OK. I'm not sure where I put it all, but I ate almost that whole calzone. It was absolutely delicious! I would recommend this place.

Debbie F.

We all know the pizza's really good here at moon river pizza, but really, what is delightful here is the service. I had at least 5 different people ask if we needed anything like our drinks cups need to be refilled etc.. all of them seemed to Just really take an interest in our experience there. This is a great model for other restaurants to follow. Enjoyed!

The line
Kristina C.

My calzone was so good my daughter stole my leftovers:( It was a Friday night and there was a line but it moved quickly. The counter staff and wait staff were very friendly and our drinks were never empty. Typical pizza restaurant with tables and booths. We'll be back it was fun and the pizza was good too!

Amara Smith and I had a "Girls Date" for lunch today and decided to visit V Pizza in San Marco (off…read moreHendricks). I knew yesterday as soon as I saw the advertisement for the new specials I had to get Layla's Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. My daughter couldn't decide on a calzone or the Mac Attack Pizza and after some deliberation, she landed on the Mac Attack Pizza. We got there just after opening and they already had a few customers in the door, but we didn't have to wait long at all. Our food was ready within 15 minutes and brought out. The chicken cutlet sandwich was everything I had hoped it would be. Tangy, savory, and the cutlets were the perfect thickness. Full of great flavor and fresh mozzarella made this the perfect lunch today. The bread wasn't too soft, nor was it too hard. Baked PERFECT. I would eat this every single day if could. Amara loved her pizza and is excited to have some left over for later when she's playing her video games. I like mac n cheese, but generally I'm not a mac and cheese on pizza kind of gal, so I did not try any as of yet. Maybe she'll let me have a slice later? I was too stuffed from the sandwich for anything else. 10 out of 10 recommend and hubby is a little jealous we went without him.

The entrance felt unclean--glass doors, floor, and mats were all gross--and seeing rodent traps by the front door during the day was a major turnoff.

She was patient and very helpful as well. I ordered a bacon and mushroom pizza. My go to pizza. The places is simple: ovens, slice station, and the prep counter. Exactly what's needed for a pizza place. The mural on the wall listed the 5 boroughs and had the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the Statue of Liberty. I mean, New York is there. The pizza came out fast and I got back. Here's the thing: Florida is notorious for having lackluster pizza. There's no ways around it. The pizza was cooked perfectly, thin, and a thicker crust. Perfect for folding. The sauce: not too loose and not too thin. Good amount for pizza, regardless of location. Flavor wise, not bad. Cheese and toppings had the right amount so it could incorporate into every bite. Now going back to my statement on Florida pizza. It's better than other Floridian pizzas I've had. It scratched the itch and I definitely enjoyed it. They'll get my business when I come back to Jacksonville!

The order-taker was rude, seeming to see customers in a negative light…read more Our pizza was below average. We got a Hawaiian pizza ($17 for a small). The ham was below average, with one hard bit. My wife didn't like that there was so little pineapple in it. Our Napoleon pastry was pretty good, and I might get it again ($5 for a small one). We both preferred it to the brownie ($4). I don't particularly like brownies, but this one looked particularly appetizing, and the order-taker said it was one of her favorites, so we tried it. That was a mistake. Perhaps I should have tried the mini cream puffs, which are a favorite of mine (3 for $5), instead. Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.

It's a tiny seating area, but the display cases will make you drool. Beautiful and very photogenic…read more A friend recommended I stop by when near the airport; happy I did. Julia at the counter must be used to first-timers She was so helpful and didn't seem put-out by all the questions. So many choices. See photos which are self-explanatory. While the fruit options are what they're known for, I thought them pricey, but ok for the optics, and a good flavor. All are made of the same stuff with the contents fruit-appropriate. I couldn't decide on just one, but with my only requirement being "not too sweet", I took the advice of a regular customer and got the lemon which was not too tart or sour and just creamy enough as to be likened to a creamsicle and also the recommendation by Julia who only asked: do you like coffee? To which I replied only with cream and sugar and I got that luscious lovely sl oblong confection. $24 for two pieces of delectable gorgeousness? I wouldn't do this often but it was a very satisfying bit of indulgence. Btw, they can't give you a cup of water, but you can buy a bottle of it. Or sit out back next to the pond with your own water bottle from the car.
