After a long awaited opening/remodel!At last the dream pizza tavern has opened!! Tonight was my second visit to Mooney's. I ordered a pan supreme from the bar since tables are on a reserve only system. The pizza was excellent and the service was fantastic without attitude or rush. I especially enjoyed the bar staff tonight and was able to meet Hal Mooney the owner and his brother Peter that were very friendly and down to earth. The environment is usually extremely busy but designed like an upscale establishment. Everyone seemed happy to work for Hal. This is leaps and bounds above BJ's etc. less noise and confusion etc. The restroom was very clean. Unfortunately no take out is being offered directly from the establishment yet. I usually just get a free spot at the bar and take my pizza home after a tasty IPA. Stop by or make reservations and I guarantee you will love Mooney's pizza I do!! read more

Talk about a great cool pizza place with a 1980s vibe that brings you back to childhood. The pepperoni pizza is exceptional, and the prices are definitely fair. Whether this is takeout or a dine in experience, you are surely not to be disappointed. read more

Fortunately I ordered takeout pizza as this pizza parlor is a disaster to try and get a table. The parking lot was very crowded and the front entrance was so crowded I could hardly get in. I question whether the place was conforming to occupancy requirements. As for the pizza. I ordered a 18" pepperoni, with sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. Mooney's pizza stood up to it reputation. I found it delicious. The tomato sauce, while a bit sparse IMO, was a little spicy which I liked a lot. Eating in at a pizza place is always better than take out as the cardboard box gets steamed up and the pizza can get rubbery and lose its crispness. That aside, the portions were huge and we had lots of leftovers. I reheated a piece on the rack of my little Emeril LaGazzi oven the next day (on Air Fry) for a few minutes and it was crisp and yummy. read more

Good but needs a bit of work. The dough is excellent. Perfect blend of chewy Italian and crisp New York style thin crust. The pizza menu is a blend of fancy, gimmicky, and takeout pizza. While the fancy pizzas were great, the ingredients on the regular takeout style pizza were lackluster. The supreme pizza tasted much like the same ingredients any other take out place. Very familiar flavor profile. Wish they could perhaps use a better sausage and grab some better quality olives. They could also just get rid of the pizza entirely as I feel the moisture from all those ingredients turns the inner pizza soggy and diminishes the wonderful crust they got going on. The service was good but hectic. The were too many workers and seemed like not enough organization between all of them. Lots of standing around. Lot of gnats too. Overall they have a lot of solid food and a good concept but they could clean up the quality and organization a bit. Especially for the price. With that said def a place to revisit. read more

My family of four, including our two young children, was excited to finally try this place after following its progress on Instagram. Unfortunately, despite having a reservation, we waited more than 45 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Given the delay, it was fairly obvious that our kids were hungry, but there was little effort to acknowledge the wait or accommodate us. We had ordered a side of bread while waiting, hoping it would help hold the kids over, but it wasn't brought out until we were finally seated. It was then handed to us in a large to-go bag and placed on the table, which felt like an odd presentation given the circumstances and the lengthy wait. Once seated, the service continued to be slow and inattentive. Dirty dishes piled up on our table, and multiple bussers passed by without clearing them. We frequently had to go out of our way to get someone's attention for basic service needs. We had high hopes and understand that new restaurants can have growing pains, but the overall experience left us disappointed. read more

Had a great time the first time around & even participated in the beer club thing they have going on. Second time we came in, a different guy behind the bar who was so unfriendly and only seemed to acknowledge men. Seemed like an inconvenience to ask him about any of the beers or to stamp our silly notebooks you guys gave us lol. His vibe made me want to never open this notebook again. They should get some of the lovely hosts behind that bar instead! read more

This is one of the cutest old school vibe pizza joints I've been to, and the pizza is next level! Lots of beer options, extremely friendly staff, and just all around so clean, cute, and delicious. One of the best pan pizzas I've had, and for the price, I think it's cheap for the quality ingredients you get. read more

terrible. called and asked about gluten free, was told it was available and when we get her are informed "they are out".

Wow! What a gem to have been put into this building. The team at Mooney's understands fine hospitality and amazing food all at a solid price point. Had a wonderful meal on a busy Tuesday night. Started with the Squeakers (Cheese Curds), Ceasar salad and wings (Both sauces on the side). So so good. Don't skip on the wings, perfectly fried with amazing flavor. Ordered the large Double Pepperoni pizza and it blew us away. A unique crust with an assortment of high quality pepperoni's and cheese. It was delicious! Finished off the night with frozen custard. Plenty of great beers on Tap and a nice selection of wine. Thank you to James & Peter for the hospitality! read more

Such a fun restaurant! We had amazing food, played a couple of video games, had some great, unique wine and beers, decadent frozen custard, and engaged in the best people watching... the community that Mooney's seems to bring in is fun, eclectic and a great vibe! Can't wait to return! read more

Great pizza great staff great vibes. Don't sleep on the frozen custard. Also low key the best wings in town.

Restaurant is extremely well done and looks amazing inside and out. We had reservations for 9pm Friday night. Got there 10 mins early and was seated in 5. Ordered the cheese curds (8.5/10) warm not hot but tasted amazing. Ranch and marinara were amazing. Cup pepperoni pizza was a 9/10. Extremely good crust. Have tried every pizza place in the surrounding area and it's 1. West grove 2. Mooneys (better than pietrini) 3. Riip read more

Overall, I enjoyed myself, but I left scratching my head. I still don't quite understand the popularity. Noisy, electric, busy. Just what you want in a new popular restaurant. Since this place opened, it has always been packed, with people waiting outside. It's clearly a hot new spot, and I had to see what all the fuss was about. The brussels sprouts were delicious. Wonderfully created and wonderfully done nice and crispy, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, wonderful. Cheese curds fried. I wasn't impressed. Why? Because the weren't really that flavorful to me, but my wife loved them. The pizza seems to be the star of the show. The toppings were fresh, and the thin crust was well done -- crispy and flavorful. The sauce, however, left me unimpressed. I also tried one of their custards -- a graham cracker variety. If you've ever had vanilla soft-serve ice cream, you already know what to expect. Nothing surprising, nothing remarkable. What truly stands out here is the wine and beer list. They clearly know their stuff, and the selection reflects some real expertise. That much I'll give them. Would I come back, maybe. It's a simple straightforward menu which is nice. I just wasn't super impressed. My wife enjoyed herself very much and she wants to come back, so, I suppose I will be coming back. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience at Mooney's Pizza. The only positive was that we were able to get a table without a reservation, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. We ordered chicken wings, but when they came out, they were still raw. We sent them back, and they never returned with a replacement or even acknowledged the issue afterward. When our pizza arrived, we weren't given any plates and had to eat off the three napkins provided, which was frustrating and uncomfortable. The service was especially lacking. Our server never checked on us during the meal, we didn't receive any drink refills, and the only time we saw him again was at the end when he came over to ask if we were ready to pay. Very disappointing dining experience. If you decide to dine here I say bring your own plates, napkins and deep fryer if you decide to get the wings. read more

Everything was amazing, we had 2 delicious craft beers, a hamburger for the kid and split a small pizza and wedge salad for adults. Perfect amount of food. We ended dinner with a frozen custard. We will definitely be back. read more

We had reservations so we got sat immediately and the ambiance was very family friendly. Our server Jake was attentive and nice. I really like their Cesar salad but their cheese curds were a little on the salty side. We ordered the pineapple pizza which had their own twist on it, which wasn't too bad since it came with lots of meat on it. Next time I would love to try their pepperoni pizza with the ricotta foam! Their custard dessert was amazing! I give their custard 10/10 read more

4.5, bumping up to 5 stars!! All of the food was so delicious loved the pizza, cheese curds, wedge salad, fries and wings! Prices are very reasonable given the economy as well as the quality of the food. We also tried the vanilla custard and the chocolate chip cookie. It was so good!! Service was quick and efficient. Took off half a star because we were sat about 20 minutes after our reservation time. We saw the hosts seat a party of 8 that were 35 minutes late to their reservation but overall it wasn't too big of a deal. Love the design and the patio is great for kids!! Definitely will be back in the future!! read more

It's disappointing to have to write this review. We live nearby and watched this pizza parlor get remodeled from the ground up. First, I'll say they did an excellent job with the renovation. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. I noticed the staff constantly cleaning, which is something you don't see often these days. My wife and I visited for the first time yesterday, excited to try a new pizza place in the neighborhood. We ordered two medium pizzas, including what was advertised as their most popular pizza, and waited with high expectations. Unfortunately, when the pizzas arrived, we were both surprised by how little flavor they had. Neither pizza stood out, and both tasted bland. We're not pizza experts or competitors--we're simply local residents who enjoy good pizza and wanted to support a new business in the area. What made the experience even more disappointing was the price. Between two medium pizzas and a Coke, our bill was over $80. That's a premium price point, and in our opinion, the food simply didn't justify the cost. I encourage anyone considering this restaurant to read a variety of reviews before visiting. There are several excellent local pizza spots that offer better value and more flavorful pizza. One example is Amici's, which consistently serves fantastic pizza at a much lower price. I genuinely wanted to like this place and wish them success, but based on our experience, we won't be returning. read more

Really enjoyed our time at Mooney's. We arrived around 5:30 and as a party of two sat at the bar immediately. Bar service was great. Attentive and speedy. We enjoyed a beverage and roasted Brussels sprouts. We shared a supreme pizza. Great crust and sauce. The interior is lovely and inviting. It's a keeper!! Good beers on tap. Will be back to sample more. read more

It's the pizza and it is also more than just the pizza. If you've been following this place since it's inception.... Well you know it's been quite a journey. Normally that would mean cutting corners... Maybe not having the full realization of your vision. It really is inspiring to see how Mooney's didn't compromise. No corners cut. Is the pizza good? Absolutely. My kids ATE THE CRUST. (If you, you know). But beyond the pizza it's clear the focus and attention are on every touch. It could/would have been easier to do less. But Mooney didn't do that, and they should be celebrated for this. It's almost impossible to know what a restaurant is going to turn into. But I know what Mooney's is right now: it's a place to come and enjoy a great meal. A great beer. A great wine. It's taking a part of our community that was completely dead and bringing life to it. That is to be celebrated and supported. So go to Mooney's eat the pizza, have a beer or a wine and celebrate the fact that we can still build amazing things and that community can come around and support it. Short review: Food's great! The beer list isn't good-- It's great.... And the detail is something I'll be spending multiple visits enjoying. read more

Moony's was highly recommended by an acquaintance, so I had to give it a try. I was certainly not disappointed! Great place!!! The ambiance reminded me of an east coast neighborhood bar. A good crowd even on a Monday night. As for the food, generous is the main description. I ordered a house salad, which was great-- crisp salad greens topped with matchsticks of carrot and radish, heirloom cherry tomatoes, a generous portion of feta, and a perky vinaigrette. We ordered a cheese pizza with onions, olives and mushrooms. At first it looked like too much tomato sauce, but it was delicious! So I won't say it was too much; it was a generous amount. And the crust is the best I've had since my last trip to Italy. Overall, the pizza was great. Before becoming a pizza tavern, this was a custard shop, so we shared a custard for dessert. Of the two flavors available (pistachio and cheesecake), we ordered the pistachio. Again, a generous portion, made on the premises, flavored with a generous amount of pistachio that it fairly shouted PISTACHIO! and we were glad that it did. The service was great, we enjoyed talking to Pete (one of the proprietors) and hearing about the history of the place. As a pizza tavern, Moony's has only been open for 8 weeks, but what a happy crowd they draw! I think the neighborhood is happy to have this place. I'm sure happy to know about it! Oh, and it's got a photo booth, one of those claw toy dispensers, and I think some other stuff in the entrance but we didn't really check that part out. Overall: friendly atmosphere, great food, congenial and prompt service. This place needs to be on that silly little corner forever. In addition to the nice (generous!) bar and main room, there's another room, sort of a banquet room I guess, and a terrace on lovely Wardlow Avenue. (By the way, if there's a wait, you can always get some THC or CBD or whatever at the Haven across the street.) read more

Some of the best pizza I've had in California. Crust is crispy and airy, toppings are high quality with a mix of traditional and nontraditional options, ice cream was the perfect ending.

Heard many great things about this place so decided to stop in with my family after bike riding. We were told that reservations is recommended since it can get really busy but since we are walking in we can sit outside at the patio which we were fine with . We ordered a pepperoni pizza , cheese pizza , a supreme pizza , a margarita pizza and buffalo wings . , get ricotta on your pizza if you're a fan . So good but overall I feel like this is an average pizza spot , nothing spectacular. We ordered frozen custards after our meal which was good as well , read more

I've been watching you guys pour your heart and soul into this place and we finally got to try tonight. Idk if you were going for this, but the nostalgia of this place and the details that went into making it aesthetically pleasing but also warm and familiar literally made me emotional. While we were there, we observed several families with small kids come together over pizza (without phones), we watched friends celebrate a birthday, and a huge group get together on the patio. A group of kids in little league jerseys were running around enjoying the video games and photobooth while we waited for our table. I imagine when someone opens a business with this much soul, they imagine scenes like this in their head and figure you'd be so proud to know it all is happening. On top of that, the food was great, the beer was amazing and the service was top notch. I do restaurant consulting- for what it's worth- you guys have crushed it and I KNOW it's a labor of love. Just wanted to share read more

I'm always on the lookout for a good pizza and was excited when Mooney's opened, hoping for a new spot with great pizza. Tried it tonight for the first time and was not impressed. I ordered online for pickup, it was ready fast. The process to pick up was easy and the two girls working the host stand were very friendly. Kudos to them. I should have checked my pizza before walking away, the crust was burned and ultimately ruined the pizza. I ordered the sausage and chard (12"). The price was $26 for six burned slices. Other pizza joints in the area offer bigger pizza for roughly the same price. I'd argue that in some cases better quality ingredients. I am referring to local places and not national chains. Mooneys offers a variety of different sizes and options and I do appreciate that as they cater to a large audience that way. I'll give them another shot down the road. Maybe tonight was not the norm. I am more than willing to pay for a good product. Hopefully next time the product lives up to the price. read more

Pizza, beer and chicken was really good, my wife also liked the shirt, got one for her, can't wait to comeback.

This place is packed, average 60 to 90 minute wait these days, unless you make a reservation. My spouse and I sat at the bar to cut down on the time. We had a pineapple pizza with a delicious crust. We also had a caesar salad that was crisp, flavorful and fresh tasting. Our meal was simple and delicious. And, I almost forgot, we had the peanut butter and jelly custard ice cream; that was definitely a good choice for me. You can order beer and wine at this restaurant. It's a large place with a back room for large parties. There are also a couple of arcade machines. I sat a Strawberry Pizza on the menu, I will probably come back and give that a try. read more

3.5 stars overall Hostess ladies: 2 stars Pepperoni pizza: 3.5 stars Beer: 5 star Decorations and vibe: 4.5 stars As everyone mentioned, you need a reservation. We didnt known this going in, we were driving by and thought we'd try a new spot. We got lucky and found a spot at the bar. Beer and atmosphere was good. Bar area was nice, they had a game playing. Even though they were busy, we got service pretty fast for a beer and pizza took a reasonable amount of time once the order was in. Pizza was pretty good, we had the cup style pepperoni pizza. The pizza itself was huge but the pepperoni wasn't plentiful lol. The edge crust was crispy and yummy. The non-edge crust was maybe a little soggy (not sure thats the right word) but it was like a thin crust but a bit doughy at the same time. Overall, we may stop in again in a few months to give it another shot, but its just not something I would "plan" to make a reservation weeks out. Front desk ladies weren't overly friendly when turning people away, pretty matter of fact. Almost made us say forget it and walk away and not come back. A few tips: smile and maybe offer to make a reservation for another night. Parking was easy. Price was as expected and pizza size was very large. read more

Haven't written a review in a cool minute but Mooney's is so worth it! It is actually a 12 min drive from my house. Dangerously close if you ask me. We arrived at about 3:45 and there was already a few people waiting. Got seated right away. The whole vibe of this place is a 10/10 in my book. I really love the chandeliers and the wood detailing. The perfect shade of green makes it feel so inviting. We ordered the squeakers, cesar salad, bread, classic pepperoni! The large is huge!! For dessert we had the custard. Strawberry and chocolate were the selections. And we also got the cookie. Topped off the day with some pics in the Photo Booth. Just to add, service was amazing all around. Will be back SOON. read more

Amazing experience here! The restaurant sits in a plaza so there plenty of parking. The inside has a number of tables from a 2 top to 4+ top (yes that means they can accommodate large parties). Staff - the staff was super nice. Abby was my server for a bit and she gave me some great recommendations! Everyone seems on the younger side so please be patient with them as I'm sure a good portion of the workers are just getting into the work force. The food - I had the pineapple pizza with al pastor and holy crap it was bomb. I'm normally not a fan of pineapple pizza but the al pastor put it on a whole other level. The meatballs were great as well. Slight heat to it with a pepper taste. The buffalo wings were tender and full of flavor. If you're looking for your next neighborhood pizza spot, this is it. Keep in mind they just opened so BE PATIENT! read more
