    3.75 for Cheese Slice. Great Budget Friendly Option. Fresh handmade pizza. The dough, sauce and cheese are fresh for the price. Pizza a little on the greasy side, I don't mind though, personally. I will be back!

    Extra cheese

    Still yummy after all these years just more $$$ though unfortunately. But for an occasional treat, by the slice, it hits the spot.

    Best Garlic Knots in Raleigh !!!

    *** update*** The pizza is now better than the garlic knots. The garlic knots weren't as good as I remember them from two years ago. Not sure if it was because I ate them after they had cooled down a bit. BUT the cheese pizza, Omg. So freaking good. I would 10/10 recommend getting a slice.

    Pretty good pizza. The crust is thicker than what I expect for NY pizza but it was chewy and crunchy, with a great taste. I also ordered a Caesar Salad which was good. The service was decent. My family and I went there for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't too busy and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. Ordered the Meat Supreme pizza, size X Large, so it was a good size for all 4 of us. They have stromboli, calzone, and different kinds of pizza. They also have a few sweets, too, like cannoli. Their lunch special is well priced. I would come here again if I want a pizza for lunch and I was in Cary.

    Lots of tables

We had this Sicilian meatballs as an appetizer the house salad that you entrées we had was the rigatoni Bolognese and the shrimp oreganatta. Both pasta dishes had good flavor, a little bit of spice as well as the meatballs in case you were not a spicy fan. It did have a little bit of a kick. We would come back again.

    Our party of 13 came in with a 6 PM reservation on a Wednesday night. We ordered the calamari and…read moresome pizzas to share. All were just fine, and nothing amazing. For my main, I had the Penne Sardi (penne pasta with chicken, wild mushrooms, and caramelized onions in tomato cream sauce; topped with oregano & garlic breadcrumbs and baked to finish). This was heavy and reminded of something you'd get at an Olive Garden. The portions are huge and basically everyone had leftovers for the next day. One weird thing to note - when ordering, the waitress asked if we wanted a soup or salad. This made it seem like the entrees came with a soup or salad but really, she was asking if we wanted to add this on. It was just a matter of miscommunication, but it would have been nice if they were more clear on it. I'm not sure what the Italian restaurant scene looks like in this area (since I was just visiting), but I felt like this was chain restaurant quality at almost NYC prices. Not sure if it's worth checking out.

I chose the lunch special with the Cotoletta di Pollo and house salad. Unfortunately, the bread on my sandwich was burnt when it arrived, but the staff quickly replaced it without any issue. The second sandwich was better, though just average overall. The real standout was the Berry Blossom cocktail, which was absolutely AWESOME! It was refreshing, flavorful, and easily my favorite part of the meal. The fries were also excellent, and the pasta dishes were definitely the stars of our lunch. Our bartender was serving us and did a fine job taking care of everything we needed, but the service felt a little less warm and personable than we typically enjoy. That said, the issue with my sandwich was handled promptly and professionally. Overall, the rigatoni, delicious pasta, amazing Berry Blossom cocktail, and great fries made for an enjoyable lunch. We'd definitely return and look forward to trying more items on the menu.

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!

The host was upbeat and pleasant and I was shown to a table quickly upon entering. It is a fairly open and bright atmosphere but I did notice it tended to be rather loud even if not very full. There seemed to be a lot of banging (almost like throwing?) sounds of plates all around. My server came and got my drink order quickly and pleasantly. I got one of the N/A cocktails from "The Dry Bar" section of the drink menu, called Intern-Earl Affair with blueberries, Earl Grey, lemon, and lavender. I liked this mocktail a lot, good flavors without being overly sweet as many mocktails tend to be. Bread service was brought to the table and while I really enjoyed the inside texture of the small loaf with the oil/balsamic vinegar, the outside was a bit, and unexpectedly, tough. To start, I went with the Wedding Soup and their version is pretty good but not the very best I've had in Morrisville (if you know me, you know where my favorite is...). For my meal, I went with the Carbonara pasta selection but their version includes peas and chicken unlike traditional carbonara. This dish was good, I enjoyed it except it was a bit heavier or thicker in finish than I remember. With carbonara, I tend to think of it as a lighter pasta choice where less is more. Tasty, but pretty heavy here with this meal. My server was always pleasant and helpful, good service this time. I also noticed generally that the prices are a bit higher on the menu these days (sign of the times maybe). In all, a good meal (a bit heavier than expected) with pleasant service for this visit to Leo's Italian Social at Park West Village in Morrisville.

I knew it was a local fine dining restaurant, but just making reservations was an interesting experience. (Call and leave a message, there's no open table. There's a form to fill out. What?" As soon a we arrived we realized a reservation wasn't necessary as we were the only guests there for 30 minutes or so. My wife and I ordered: Glass of Wine, Ravioli, a Roman Pizza, a side of green beans, and a desert of tiramisu. The food was quick as we were the only ones there for a while as other guests came in. But as other recent reviews indicate, the menu options are pretty small, but the pricing and ambiance doesn't meld. I expected more redesign of the dining area that was used by the former restaurant; but that wasn't the case. It was a bit small dining room.

    We booked an outdoor igloo for what was supposed to be a special night out with friends, and…read moreinstead got a cold, confusing, overpriced dinner that honestly felt like a parody of a "premium experience." First -- the ordering rules were never explained. Four adults sat down and each ordered an entrée, only to be told that apparently we were only supposed to share one entrée and one pasta for the entire table. How exactly are four people -- especially with dietary restrictions -- supposed to eat that? It made no sense, and the confusion led to us ordering extra just so everyone could actually eat. The igloo itself was freezing. There was one tiny heater doing its best, but only the person sitting directly in front of it was comfortable (YAY ME!). The rest of our party spent the night cold and distracted instead of enjoying dinner. It would get a little warm and then a server would unzip the dang igloo and leave the flap open and we were back to freaking COLD. Food timing was chaotic -- two meals came out, and the other two arrived about 20 minutes later. One guest who is lactose intolerant was hungry while waiting and asked for more bread, only to be told no. That's not hospitality -- that's just frustrating. Like... you can't bring the cold hungry man some bread? I'll PAY for the tiny pieces of crust but good Lord, just poor hospitality. Then the bill arrived: about $437 when we expected closer to $330, largely because of the unclear ordering situation. They SHOULD have 1. explained the "deal" better 2. automatically taken something off of the bill due to the additional meals being 20 full minutes behind the other people at the table. 3. Brought bread when asked ffs. They did take one of the "additional" meals off, so to be fair... when pushed... they did fight back, make a bit of a scene and ultimately took some off the tab. It was never about the $$ by the way... but paying over $400 for a sub par meal in Holly Springs in a cold igloo will be a good story I suppose. And the biggest disappointment of all -- the food simply wasn't good. At all. For the price and the hype, the quality just wasn't there. The lasagna was bad. Risotto pretty good honestly but not great. We are easygoing people who go out often, tip well, and genuinely want to support local restaurants. But this felt disorganized, uncomfortable, and not worth the risk -- especially when we've since heard similar feedback from friends. It's a shame, because the concept could be fun with better communication, warmer setups, and much better food. Unfortunately, we won't be back. We left colder than when we arrived and not happy with the food at all. Just no... go elsewhere.
