We have been frequenting Moonlight for years. Lived out here for 5, been coming that long, or longer as a visitor. As a NY'er- I have been around pizza. This is not your typical NYC thin stuff, it is rustic, and more akin to the old school stuff you get in Dyker Heights, but has that nice herb sauce you find more commonly in Queens. The crust, sourdough, is amongst the best I have ever had- the black char bubbles are a highlight. If you want wimpy and flavourless crust- go to one of the yokel spots- not even run by Italians - disgusting. The cheese to sauce ratio is perfect, and if you add toppings, they are well thought out. We have had most of the offerings, and I would place the Cheese & Greens varietals on top of my list. These pizzas command respect, and I also commend them for the way in which the business is run- it's quirky, and permits them a home-life. Support them during the slower Wednesday/Thursday. Deal with the phone calls! Get a salad- you won't be disappointed- they are always interesting and freshly made. Mrs Moonlight is in charge of those. I have never eaten in, but it is cozy appearing. Too much whinging about silly things on this website. 'Waaaaaa- I couldn't use social media to do something.' Come off of it. I would not change a thing with Moonlight- you guys are doing this incredibly well. Saluti from a longtime Loyal! read more

I had the incredible pleasure of getting a cheese pizza from Moonlight Pizza today. First off - I was supposed to get it yesterday, but due to circumstances I was not able to (totally on me). They were so accommodating and understanding as I called them with updates as to when I thought I would make it and the eventually saying I couldn't - and then they suggested a time for today. Their customer service is beyond compare - 5 stars for that alone. Now the pizza. I ordered cheese because quite frankly, if you can't make a good cheese pizza why bother trying anything else. Ate the first slice upon immediately getting into the car. This pizza has ruined all other pizzas for me- just amazing. Needs no additional seasonings or toppings - like I normally would. To put something on the pizza (hot honey, garlic salt,etc) that they didn't include in the making of this pizza would be.... Ruinous. This pizza is so perfect it only needs to be eaten as is. Run, don't walk to your phone to call and reserve your time to get your pizza made!!! I am a convert and they will definitely see me again. My wife who is not a pizza fan, had a slice and was amazed - so that should tell you something right there. When we get pizza for the boys, she makes pasta for herself. Not going to be the case anymore!! read more

Now that the putz "Pizza Review guy" from Barstool's review is a bit old the demand seems to have gone down a bit and they actually answer the phone after 25-40 re-dials. Still too much of a pain in the arse. I will revisit in six months. Again, pizza is very good. read more

Crust is 1/3 of the pizza The pizza is very good but for the price, dial back on the crust which = more sauce more cheese read more

Wow, what a special place! Im born in CT, raised in NJ, and I've had my fair share of legendary pizza parlors across the NE USA. Moonlight holds it down for one of the best places in the region. The pizza reminds me of my childhood, eating homemade pasta and dipping amazing Italian bread into the sauce. There's not single place in the entire Poconos region that compares, and Ill gladly be a lifelong customer. I highly recommend read more

These people are doing the Lords work. Unreal pizza. Crispy on the bottom. Great chew to the dough. Crust has nice crisp and air pockets. Lady at the counter couldn't be sweeter. Super Vibey. Unlike any pizza place I've ever been. Great atmosphere. My advice is to show up a little before 2pm. The phones were ringing off the hook when I was inside at 2pm. And sold out quickly after. read more

Heard about Moonlight Pizza after it was reviewed by Dave Portnoy's pizza series on YouTube. We had to call many, many times to get the pies reserved for pickup in the evening, but it was well worth it and some of the best pizza we've ever had! For perspective, this is coming from two people who lived in the NJ/NY area for many years. The crust and dough underneath were crispy, well done, fluffy on the outer edges, and able to support all the toppings on both the cheese pie and bacon & and caramelized onion pie. The sauce on the cheese pizza was balanced, not too sweet or sour. The bacon & caramelized onion pie was savory. Can't wait to go back! read more

Good pizza with a crispy and bubbly crust. The spot is tiny and cute, and the owners are super nice. Have to call in the day of to pre-order your dough, and it is usually impossible to get through on Fridays. Out of the 3 pizzas I tried, the white was my favorite. I'm glad I finally got to try moonlight pizza. read more

A hidden gem. Best pizza. Nice town. Just driving thru. And looking for a 5 star place to spend some money at. Well. Bingo. read more

Do they even need my opinion after getting an 8+ from Dave Portnoy? I tried this place before it was famous and fell in love. The quality of ingredients are a notch above what you find in most pizzerias. I got a marinara veg pie and the garlic just melted in my mouth. Don't even get me started on the olives that were on that thing - out of this world!!! It's getting hard to order because the phone is always busy now but I am happy others are enjoying it. Maybe in 2024 they can expand a bit and share the same delicious pizzas with more people. read more

This was well worth the hour drive. The crust is thick yet light and crispy. The ingredients are fresh. Probably the best pizza I've ever had. Make sure to call in early! read more

This pizza is a true treat! Absolutely delicious! And the young couple who own/work at the restaurant are really nice. The salad is amazing, too. Best kept secret in Pen Argyl! Be advised, order before 3 if you want pizza on a Friday night! read more

This is the best pizza I have ever had the pleasure of eating. This may be a controversial opinion, but I don't care. Moonlight pizza FAR surpasses any pizza I have eaten in New York or Philly. And nowhere else in the local area makes pies as good as these people do. We ordered a single Pepper and Sausage 16" pie. The crust was FRESH with a light, crispy, and airy texture unlike any other pizza I have had before. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. The sausage was QUALITY. And the red peppers were roasted and so deliciously sweet. To top it off, the basil topping was fresh basil and a good amount! I had high expectations of this eatery, and they still exceeded those expectations. I didn't even have a chance to snap a picture of our pizza because it smelled so damn good. Once we started eating, we didn't stop until it was gone! Superb. read more

Can't really rate. Bet the pizzza is fire but really Just wondering if any of y'all actually get through via phone ever. Been trying to order for a year and still can't get through ... thousands of calls made. Suppose I should drive over to place my scheduled order and come back to pick it up? read more

My review will be 1 of 1000 saying that this place is amazing. I am a little out of the area, so the issue will be not speeding to get home sooner to eat it. The whole menu looks fantastic and the salad we got with the pizza was equally delicious and well made. It is very clean and the food prep was meticulous - gloves and clean surface areas. There is a small area to dine and the chairs have little booties on the legs. I mean, if you are going to take the time to put booties on your chairs, you are surely going to make amazing dishes. I eat way too much pizza and this place in my top 2-3 places. Today was a better day b/c I had a Moonlight Pizza. read more

Purchased two pizza from MP, on Thursday. One white and one regular cheese , both were very good and ready on time. This little hole in the wall shop puts out a very tasty treat. One thing to remember, they are priced higher than the local pizza restaurants that we are used to. read more

It's definitely a different process but well worth it! They make a limited number of pizzas so you need to call early in the day to reserve yours for a time slot. The pizzas and even the salads are amazing. You can tell how much love is going into their food! While I was waiting a few minutes for my pizza to cook just right, the small cozy shop was calmly lit by pretty little things and candles. I watched the two people behind the counter look like they were creating little works of art. It definitely wasn't your typical pizza shop where the cooks are sweating and the waitresses are yelling from the counter. The ambiance was something special and it translates into the food. If you're looking for something different and something special in the Slate Belt, this is it! read more

A little hole in the wall with the kindest folks behind the counter and killer pizza and salad! the crust is perfection, real Italian pizza as close to Neapolitan you can get. The salad with arugula, apples, goat cheese and walnuts with homemade dressing was amazing. This is not a greasy average pizzeria pie this is worth the wait in every way! Bravo!! read more

Love this takeout place. We have picked up a couple times now and every time it has been ready on time and the pizza is very good. Definitely a go to for us. read more

We just moved to Bangor PA and the seller's realtor brought us a pie of pizza and an Argula salad. This is the most delicious food I've eaten. The Pizza is amazingly delicious. read more

The place is amazing, pie is fantastic, I can't wait for the return after all this pandemic stuff is over, we've found our pizza spot. Amazing little place, the owners are top notch, and the pizza is second to none!! Fresh, fresh, fresh!! Thanks again, see you soon!! read more

Sometimes amazing things come from unexpected places. Pen Argyl isn't known for having many stellar places to eat, but this tiny place is the exception. The only negative is that you may develop an addiction to their food, it is that good. We have had just about every kind of pizza, they are made in small batches so you need to call ahead to "reserve" your dough. Some days they may be sold out, but it's worth trying again another day! In addition to the pizzas they have incredible salads. The best I've ever had, and I can't figure out why! Simple fresh ingredients may be the key. The owners are very kind and you can tell they care about their food & customers. Only open Wednesday-Friday currently. A must try! read more

Absolute best. The pizza is so good I have started eating the slices by pulling the crust apart and eating the pizza in small bites. It takes longer to eat but you really do not want it to be over. The salads are outstanding but you will have to take my word that it's true because my wife says so. ( I am not a salad guy) . We were shut out once when we first found this place but never again. read more

Very happy to have found Moonlight while visiting family in the area. I knew from the pictures that quality ingredients were being used by people that care a lot about what they do. They are definitely doing something unique and have put a lot of thought and passion into the business. I look forward to going back. read more

Ordered a cheese pie, sausage pie, bacon and caramelized onion pie and the harvest salad... and all I can say is WOW!! I read all the 87 five star reviews on google and my first thought was, well, they must be well known to people in the area, and all the friends are posting.,. but let me tell you, that is not the case!!! I have had a lot of good pizza and usually have to travel to get to the really good ones but I am amazed they are in a small area like Pen Argyl, and not to mention I am selfishly thrilled they are!! The harvest salad had bits of goat cheese, apples red beets and arugula oh and don't forget the delicious candied walnuts and nice light vinaigrette, oh boy, I am salivating just reminiscing of it!! The sauce on the pies is delectable and the crust is crunchy, just how I like it! The sausage had a nice fresh taste and to look at the bacon onion pizza it's not exactly pleasing to look at but is pleasant to the palate!! I really hope they stay here, thank you so much Moonlight pizza for coming to our small town!! read more

If you haven't had a pie from Moonlight Pizza you are missing a slice of heaven. I've eaten great pizza in places from Naples, Italy to Brooklyn, NY. Moonlight Pizza is in the same class. (I still can't believe I can get food this amazing a mile from my house!) With every bite you can tell that Anthony puts his heart and soul into the food he creates In his little pizza kitchen. The crust is beyond delicious - thin, crisp and flavorful. The toppings are all top quality. The service (from sweet Nicole) always comes with a smile and a thank you. I have had the red, white, white with caramelized onions, and the sausage and red pepper special pizzas. All of them are truly fantastic. While you're at it, treat yourself to one of their salads, too. Each has the perfect balance of fresh, quality ingredients and their delicious dressings are homemade. Really, if you have a craving for pizza get it at Moonlight Pizza. You'll never get it anywhere else again. read more
