Absolutely love this hin Jim found in Murray Hill. I came here with a friend after work and we eventually had some other people come visit us. It's definitely a family friendly environment. Seating is first come first serve, but we were able to get a large table to accommodate everyone. Service was quick and very friendly. we ordered half Gorgonzola salad, a special everything slice and the Maui Wowi pizza. A cool special they run sometimes if you buy another slice you get another beer. read more

Amazing place. Pizza is so good. Have several awesome beers on tap. They really no how to load a slice with toppings. Staff was amazing and readily available if anything was needed. It wasn't too noisy and you could have a a decent conversation. The mood was really relaxed and casual with lovely art work on the walls. read more

Best pizza in Jax. The ingredients are fresh and plentiful. The pizza is always perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is friendly and bright. If I lived closer, I'd weigh 300 pounds. read more

Moon River Pizza - The special (without mushrooms) - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Got a large take out build your own pizza on a Wednesday night & the place was crowded, always a good sign. Our take out took about 30 minutes & was delicious. They're not shy about toppings. The price is a little on the high side but you definitely get what you pay for. Would definitely go back when in the area. read more

Moon River is a staple in Jacksonville! It's a great place to go with friends or just pick up a slice you're craving on the way home. The people there are nice and it's a very much a relaxed vibe. read more

Moon River Pizza - Slice of White Pizza with Pesto - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Delicious pizza made with fresh ingredients and the large is enough for a family of four! The service was exceptional for a Friday night, our 13 year old and his friends were well taken care of and the 2 large pizzas fed them perfectly. The pizza was a perfect balance of sauce, toppings, and cheese! I thought the sauce was flavorful but not over powering. The restaurant was a little loud but that was probably because we had 7 boys with us! We love Moon River! read more

Wow, the pizza was less than desirable, we ordered a large T-Rex ( supposed to be a meat lovers) I have never tasted anything like it, the meats were unidentifiable, close to $30. We had a piece each and into the trash it went. So disappointing. I'm left speechless! read more

Looked for a new place to find good pizza and picked Moon River Pizza. I split a pie with a co-worker. They got bacon and my half was onion. I went to pick it up because it may have been to far for delivery and I wanted to see the restaurant in person. The restaurant is on a street that is being renovated and is filled with food options. I dreamed of taking the rest of my miserable day of work off and making my own food tour...... to dream. I'll do it another day down the road because this is a dream that everyone can make come true. Moon River Pizza is a very respectable looking pizza place/restaurant. It was filled to capacity at 12:30pm and all the employees were friendly and welcoming. I told them my name grabbed a couple of sodas and left with my pizza. I already saw myself getting a pizza from there for my family in the future. Now to the important stuff. The pizza is great. New Jersey pizza great. My onion pieces were incredible. Filled with onion and cheese. A delicious sauce and crust that felt like it was made with water imported from the northeast. My co- worker lived the pizza too. Hopefully, the next visit will be as great a the 1st. I'm hopeful that the pizza just didn't seem great because my work day completely sucked. However, a Wawa just opened a couple of miles from my house and I may be buying subs for a couple of weeks before returning here. I will definitely be returning for more pizza and to try a Calzone but it may be a few weeks from now. read more

Food and ambiance were really good and service was great. Everyone was friendly and made rounds to offer refills and check on us often. /

Moon River Pizza The last time I visited Riverside to review Lola's Burritos I noticed at least a half dozen restaurants that I'd heard about repeatedly here and throughout social media. This time I ended up in Avondale hoping to try Josephine. Poor planning on my part and I missed their lunch and way too early for dinner. So I took the opportunity to walk about the streets. I passed a French sweets spot, a chocolatier, The Brick, Biscottis, Southern Grounds, MOJO #4, Mellow Mushroom, Blue Fish Oyster Bar and lastly Casbah. It's been over 10 years since I'd stepped foot in Casbah my only other time back when I worked Ruth's Chris downtown. I sat in for some coffee and hummus. Both were excellent. While waiting out the torrential spring up shower I asked my server what pizza she'd recommend. Without hesitation and to no surprise she said Moon River. I really just needed affirmation. So off I went a mile down the road. Within a few steps of the door I was cheerfully greeted by Cin(sp). "Hi sweetie what are you having?" I love southern charm. "I have no idea" I explained letting the next guy order. Around the corner appeared Jason with all the friendly charisma of Cin but a red beard to boot. "What can I get you buddy?" I ordered their meat lover T-REX ($26) all the meats plus extra mozzarella. I grabbed a Coke and a large booth next to a trio of JSO's finest and watched a commemorative showing of Pee Wee's Big Adventure as he passed from cancer at age 70 that day. Everyone, including the officers ‍ were a little bummed. Out came my pizza pie oven hot and aromatic. The toppings were huge chunks of meat mortared with melty mozzarella. I sabotaged my own cheese pull by recutting but it had epic potential. For all the debate on New York vs Chicago vs Detroit vs Napolitano Moon River is a terrific traditional hearty hand tossed pie baked to perfection with a robust sauce that squeezes out as you approach the crust. Incredibly flavorful off the pan and just a dash of grated Parmesan, some crushed red pepper and a few banana peppers and I was in Pizza Paradise. The vibe was totally chill with some cross between EMO punk and Wilco playing overhead. More than a few times I could hear staff singing along in the back, something I absolutely love to hear, signs of a happy crew and positive work environment. Another surprise experience and win for the Riverside food league. Visit Moon River Pizza and tell 'em Large Marge sent ya! read more

Love grabbing to go slices from here. They're always great portioning and the pie is super reasonable. The staff here always seem to be passionate about the accuracy and quality of the orders too. As far as the restaurant it feels super clean and feels just like what you would expect from a local pizza shop. It doesn't feel too upscale but just right and family friendly. read more

We were excited to be in this area tonight and go to Moon River. I didn't realize the hubby had not been to Moon River since we moved from Fernandina several years ago. The Greek salad was nice, the pizza delicious and the service top notch. We had several adult beverages while waiting and enjoyed those as well. Their pies, calzones, and pizzas are all delicious! Fresh ingredients and made to order. The only reason for the four star rating was the really rude, obnoxious family that decided to sit behind us and basically ruin our experience. I know there is nothing the restaurant can do but honestly I would have called the police to get them removed. Ridiculous behavior and looking for trouble. But on a positive note, Moon River is the bomb! Check them out! Murray Hill and Fernandina Beach. read more

Came here for lunch after a day of thrifting with a friend. I wanted to know if they had gluten free crust and they did. They also had vegan cheese. I asked about pesto and they had that too. Finally I was able to enjoy a pizza after so long. I thanked the cashier profusely because I love pizza and I missed eating it. I made sure to add pepperoni for old times sake. The place is pretty spacious. Staff is chill and laid back also. There's a massive menu on the wall right before you order. The gluten free crust only comes in the 10" size. It's also thin crust. My friend ordered their lunch special. Two slices of pizza with ham and mushroom as well as a drink. The cashier noticed I was wearing a Beetlejuice shirt, and gave me a Beetlejuice sign for when the person would bring the order out. I thought that was really cute the way they do their signs, and how they just happened to have a Beetlejuice one. I would definitely love to come back here in the future so I can try other variations of the gluten free crust. It's a different flavor obviously, but still good nonetheless. I also asked if they did delivery or third party, and they said no. So I definitely need to come back for more. read more

The first time I tried to visit Moon River was when I was already in the area but it happened to be on a Sunday and they were closed. I returned just at opening time months later to try a slice of their pizza. Like many shops that offer single slices, they had tons of half baked cheese pizzas on racks waiting for customers to add the topping before they put them in the oven to finish cooking. I ended up getting a piece of pizza with onions, peppers, pepperoni, and Italian sausage. I added a Greek salad and an order of "breadstyx". After 10 minutes, my to go order was ready. The crust on the pizza was nice and crisp and the cheese was well melted. Aside from the pepperoni, the toppings were kind of just thrown on and they were sparse. I couldn't really justify the extra $2 of toppings. The cheese sticks had the same great dough that was used for the pizza and they were soft and pillowy. I love very cheesy cheese sticks and I thought these were lacking some in the amount of cheese on them. But even though some of them were more bready, they were still very good. I probably should've just stuck with the pizza but I often like to add green veggies to my meals. Unfortunately, the salad was disappointing and it looked sad. It was as if they just used the toppings they had for the pizzas and put them on top of a bed of large lettuce leaves and called it a Greek salad. White onions were used instead of red onions, tomato slices replaced cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives were substituted with black and green olives, mushrooms were added, and the caesar dressing (on a Greek salad) was too thick and tasted like it had a mayonnaise or miracle whip base. The taste was offputting so I ended up using a dressing that I had at home. Overall, I enjoyed the pizza and breadsticks mostly due to the great crust. The value is probably much better with ordering a whole pizza so the toppings can be plentiful. At $.50 for each topping that is added to the cheese pizza slices, I am not sure that it is worth it. I wish that they already had some specialty pizzas that they sold by the slice and a better Greek salad, which was a miss all around. read more

I can't believe anyone thinks this is good pizza. only in Florida where they have no clue what good pizza is. I thought I was going to throw up after eating one slice and I threw the rest in the garbage read more

This is another favorite that I love to visit from time to time. It's not fancy but the pizza is good, the salads are fresh and the servers are super friendly. Located in Murray Hill, there are other venues within walking distance for after dinner activities. I think this place represents the eclectic beauty of the Murray Hill, Avondale, Riverside, Ortega and Lake Shore areas. The prices are very reasonable and there's usually plenty of parking on the street. If it's a busy night, you might have to walk a bit but it's worth it for something local, friendly and casual! read more

My favorite place for pizza , fresh ingredients definitely worth the drive. Atmosphere is a plus! Service consistent and welcoming always!

I did take out and I called ahead on my way home. I was able to find a close spot and run and get my pizza paid for and head out quickly. They were semi busy on a weeknight after work. I was confused that they didn't have chicken as a topping for their pizza. That's a first for me at a pizza place. So I just got cheese and bacon. The pizza was great but I don't get the hype the place gets. I'm still giving it five stars because the pizza was great, service was great and ordering it was easy. read more

Well, I'm hungry again and in need of some good food. So, we found this street with restaurants on both sides and a axe throwing place. (Which i was told you can bring your food in to eat, while there.) We walked in and were greeted by Whitney, who was so friendly and patient with me. It was my first time and I was unclear of the ordering process, he talked me through it. My friend was happy because they have vegan choices. We ordered our food, found a table, and sat with our cold pitcher of beer. The atmosphere was friendly, clean and relaxed. My pizza was ok. Reason being I like crispy crust. However, I enjoyed myself, a waitress came by to check on us periodically. I would go again. read more

Pizza is good as is the restaurant layout. Sure would like it better with a wait staff to take orders! If not- quit asking for tips!!!

This was a great decision. One of my pals suggested we hit this place up after a baseball game and it was a wonderful idea. Everyone from the cashier, to every single server was nice and attentive. Even all of my picky kids didn't have anything but great things to say about the food. We ordered 3 large pepperoni pizzas, salad and cheesy bread. Everything came out perfect and pretty quick. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the food... but trust me when I say-- it's worth it. read more

I havent actually been inside, so again its difficult to give a proper rating but the pizza I had was called the Special.

I say let's do it again soon. The employees are always on top of things and give the best customer service. Thanks going out to Moon River Pizza and also Wine Inspired with Kara!

This pizza is delicious. The crust is crusty outside and chewy inside, exactly the way I want my pizza. Some pizza sauce is too sweet, not this one, it was a great compliment to the crust and the cheesy goodness on top. The space itself is a good size, lots of tables and wide open spaces. Good variety of toppings on the menu but one that stood out for us was fried eggplant - as a topping! I don't like eggplant, but what a great topping! I love the creativity of it. I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Had lunch at Moon River today, and we opted for the Vegetarian pie with the non-dairy cheese. Cooking a vegan pizza presents some challenges and it was a busy time for sure, but it was a pretty good pie. I would say the sauce and crust were not the most flavorful on this pizza. Otherwise they did a pretty decent vegan pizza. The staff is super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere for a lunch is perfect. You order when you arrive and then take a seat and your meal will be brought out to you. It's pretty easy and laid back... read more
