    Sicilian Style and NY style slices
    Steve S.

    Friendly guys behind the counter! Originally from NY and have been living in Seattle area for a decade. Whenever I travel to the east coast I'm always on the lookout for good pizza (can't be found on west coast, sorry everyone). My hotel was near NY pizza and stopped in for lunch. Grabbed a couple slices of cheese (I only do cheese when trying a place out, toppings just disguise the pizza ), one NY style slice and one Sicilian slice. I loved them both. The dough was airy and had a great crunch to it, perfect amount of cheese to sauce ratio and very tasty sauce. I was very happy with my lunch and plan to grab more slices later in the week!

    Tiny slice for NY style‍

    Tiny slice for NY style‍ Young staff were all pleasant but value just was not where it needs to be...around $8 for a small slice and fountain drink

    Single slice of Sausage and single slice of Hawaiian.

    Fast, friendly service. I am no expert in NY style pizza though I ate a fair share while living in the northeast. Don't care about the label. This is damn amazing pizza! Crispy thin crust. Drool worthy sauce, cheese, and toppings. It's close to the house so I will return again and again.

    Cheese sticks
    Kim C.

    I love this pizza! I stop in for a slice every now and then, but this time I had a few 5th graders graduating and picked up a whole pie and some cheese sticks. It was hot, fresh and as delicious as always. The kids really liked everything (especially the cheese sticks!) and there was plenty for everyone. Their prices are very reasonable and everyone is always friendly when you stop in to see them. Tucked away in the Bass Pro shopping center it could be easy to miss but make sure you find it to enjoy the fresh ingredients and quality NY style pizza!

    Receipts

    Two of the last 3 times that we have ordered pizza they have not given us the fresh garlic, that we paid a lot for, tonight being one of them. Are there new owners at this location? The pizza seems different lately. Answer to our question would be greatly appreciated.

    We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 3 Location: 3 Decor/ambiance: 2 Customer Service: 3 Decent location... kinda tucked in a shopping center. The only reason I found it was because I did a search for Pizza along 40highway and it popped up on my calendar. It sits right on the other side of the areas hottest chicken spot so the traffic over there is crunk! I was excited to try this place... simply because I was hungry. I asked the guy working about the the "Stealz" app that they were advertising on the window and his answer was " I don't know, I just started back working here a couple weeks ago". So with that being said I rant to the car to grab something and came back to order where I got a young lady at the counter. I asked her about there Sicilian pizza. Once she told me what it was I quickly said no let me get two regular cheese pizza slices. I didn't realize it but she rung me up for the Sicilian pizzas and I didn't want those. So, my order was not what I asked for. No biggie...i still took it and sat down to eat it because I was hungry. I will admit that the food just wasn't popping for me. I wasn't impressed at all. Super blan bready pizza with no taste. The garlic knots were just as bad. 2 Stars because they had good drinks in the fountain.

    Sausage and pepperoni- removed the sausage as it was cold.

The salads and hot bread came out first then a short time later the entrees. Both entrees were delivered quickly and hot. Both were delicious.. The drinks are self serve and the choices are sodas and tea. When they found out it was her birthday they insisted she chose a dessert . She chose the cheesecake and shared with me and it was wonderful. Thanks to the staff for making this special birthday a great treat for our family.

Got a white pie, maybe 18" basil olives and meatballs Also got 3 large meatballs on the side And a woodford old fashioned The pie was genuinely good. Was it worth $90? Maybe... The only real complaint about the food is it wasn't cut cleanly to the crust. The meatballs were also above average; flavorful throughout. I ate just 2 slices (so far) But I cannot in good conscience recommend for anyone to come here based on my experience. Here's the part that's indefensible. I asked if outdoor seating was open and was told to sit anywhere outside and someone would serve me. After five minutes alone out there, I went back in, and the hostess again assured me someone was coming. Nobody did. I finally hunted down a waitress who didn't know if outdoor seating was even open -- she checked, came back, and told me I'd have to sit inside. Seating a guest is the most basic function of a restaurant, and I was told three different things by three different people. I ended up at the bar, which wasn't gross, but wasn't clean either. Small menu, long waits, and at $90 for one person you expect something closer to a fine experience -- not a rowdy pub with poor service. And that falls on management, not the staff.

Of course, I could drive to local grocery store and get a frozen one and bake it at home.....but I was quite hungry! It took longer getting directions between a Nav and phone sync. Surprisingly, Mezza Luna is actually conveniently located in a short trip! I arrived in person and walked to the counter. I was greeted promptly and the guy was answering 2 phones and taking orders and gave me options based on time and wait for pizza. He did not realize that I was looking for gluten free and got a gentleman to help me. My apologies, as I was a bit overwhelmed and didn't catch his name and how long he said it would be. Regardless, I am a patient person and waited. The gentleman brought the pizza box and handed it to me. The inside restaurant has positioned seating to utilize the space very well. As the clock approaches 5 o'clock, the regular patrons come in and the guy at the counter acknowledges each person even by name. Back to my gluten free pizza.... I did say "thank you, smells amazing " hoping they heard me as this was my first visit. Fortunately, I have self-control and didn't peek until I got home. The plan was to eat half, then reheat other half to determine......besides smelling and seeing the fresh ingredients...no need to add any seasoning! Please don't judge...but I finished it myself! It was quite tasty. Ambiance 4 stars, quaint feels like good gathering spot Customer service 5 stars keep it up Quality 5 stars Quantity 4 stars no leftovers Prices 4 stars for regular (3 stars for gluten free) no deduction Overall 4.5 stars and try again to see if rating is a solid 5. Honestly, I was surprised being able to finish it and how delicious as gluten free is not always easy to make. I forgot to ask about the meatballs..are they only beef? If so, if I call or stop in a day or so in advance, could you consider making 4 meatballs no gluten maybe using cheese instead to taste? I saw hand cut fries...might need to give that a try. ;) No worries about the gluten and sans pork for me too, sorry. If you have a gluten free baguette that would pair well for me or I can pick one up! Thanks....you may see me again soon! Update with pics: disappointed overcooked both crust and cheese!
