I had no idea where to take their kids one night when I was visiting with a friend in Cary. After examining the many pizza joints in Cary, I finally made the decision to bring the kids to Mezza Luna. I was not disappointed..nor were the four children..The staff is really friendly and welcoming.. we really greatly enjoyed the Sicilian. The Sicilian pizza looks so delicious, and the wonderful smell overwhelms you, you just want to dig right in. It was gone quick! We were treated like family, in my opinion. What a wonderful pizza place! When I visit Cary, I will very certainly return!!The kids parents can’t wait to try after hearing us talk about it!

Mezza Luna has become our go-to for pizza! We ditched our old downtown Cary pizza joint after trying Mezza Luna and we haven't looked back. We even ordered take-out for the Super Bowl from Mezza Luna. The Grandma Pie is our favorite with its amazing crust, fresh sauce, and perfect amount of cheese. The other pies we've tried are also great, but we keep going back to the Grandma Pie. We pair with salads, meat balls, and calamari. We've loved everything we've ordered. Everything is fresh and pricing is also very fair. Clean and relaxed environment. We've been there when it's been really quiet and we've also been there when it's been super busy. Either way, service has been efficient and friendly no matter the level of busyness. You can tell it's a family-run business and they really pour themselves into Mezza Luna and their food. They even come out of the kitchen to interact and chat with customers, treating everyone like family. If you haven't yet visited yet, do yourself a favor and give Mezza Luna a try. You'll definitely be back!

This was my second time coming here and it has been amazing each time. This place is one of the few places I will tell people about to go get pizza from. I’m originally from New Jersey and I lived in New York as well. This is some of the closest pizza that you will get that is like the pizza in the northeast. Crunchy bottom, dough is cooked perfectly and the everything else tastes great. I got myself a sausage slice and then a slice with chicken and bacon. Absolutely delicious. I also did get an entree to go, which was the baked manicotti. I will say it wasn’t the best, it was mediocre honestly. It also didn’t really remind me of how manicotti is supposed to look like and taste was fine. And the side salad that it comes with is a very basic salad. My girlfriend got the penne rustica, which I tried and it was incredible, the sauce was amazing, the sausage crumbles had a great taste. Would definitely recommend that dish. Lastly I ordered a piece of the cheesecake. It was one of the better cheesecakes that I’ve had and it’s on the bigger size. As I normally do with this place, I definitely recommend coming here if you’re craving good pizza.

This is our go to family restaurant! We go here for all our family dinners and always have the best experience! You will not find better pizza, Italian pasta dishes, and appetizers! Everything comes out fresh and cooked to perfection. You can tell they make everything in house and it’s not just frozen food from a distributor. They have even cut the potato’s in house for their French fries! I also have to say their Sicilian Pizza is the best I’ve ever had! The owner always comes out of the kitchen and talks with us and makes sure we are happy which I really appreciate. If you want to support an amazing locally owned business you should definitely come here!

Title: Exceptional Pizza and Fresh Calamari - A Stellar Dining Experience! Mezza Luna Pizzeria is an absolute gem that I can't praise enough. The grandma pie they serve is a must-have for pizza enthusiasts like me. It's hands down the best pizza I've ever had, and the flavors are simply divine. The calamari at Mezza Luna Pizzeria is a delightful treat for seafood lovers. The freshness of the fried calamari is evident in every bite, and it's always perfectly cooked to perfection. The restaurant's cleanliness is commendable, creating a pleasant and hygienic dining environment. I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout my visit. The service at Mezza Luna Pizzeria is impressive, especially during busy Saturday dinners. The staff is quick and efficient, ensuring that you don't have to wait long for your scrumptious meal. Overall, Mezza Luna Pizzeria is a top-notch eatery that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone craving exceptional pizza and fresh, delicious calamari. I'll definitely be coming back for more of their delectable offerings!

Mezza Luna is a hidden gem for pizza lovers! Their garlic and red sauce specialty pie is nothing short of amazing—bursting with rich flavors, a perfectly balanced tangy-sweet sauce, and just the right amount of garlicky kick. The crust is crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and cooked to perfection in their oven. Every bite is packed with fresh ingredients, and you can tell they put real care into their craft. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make the experience even better. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Mezza Luna is a must-visit for great pizza!
