We love Luna and are so happy they opened in Clayton after closing the North State Food Hall location. This appears to be a brand new building and the atmosphere is very similar to the one in Greenville. You could go for a casual lunch or dress up for a dinner date. They have a few options that can be adjusted for gluten and dairy sensitivities. Everything is delicious! We got the mushroom appetizer and two pizzas--margherita and a build your own with sausage and pepperoni. The bathrooms are single stalls, and the women's had a changing table.

Ate here for the first time yesterday and was HIGHLY impressed! The inside was nice, the staff were very helpful and informative and the food was SO GOOD. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it was slammed with flavor. I will be a regular at this place!

New to the area but not to Italian cuisine, I can honestly say the pizza crust is phenomenal in and of itself, the perfect balance of crispy and soft with an incredible chew. I got the Greek pizza and it was perfect in the balance of salt, savory and acidity. I cannot wait to try the other items on the menu. My favorite Italian dessert is Tiramisu and I am PICKY about it...so when I found out it wasn't exactly traditional, but instead the chef's take on it, I said ok let's go. When I tell you I would marry someone over that tiramisu, I am dead serious. Amazing texture, flavor and the perfect amount of sweet. The staff was friendly and expedient, service was very quick and the atmosphere is very laid back and comfortable. I will definitely recommending it to everyone and will make it a regular stop for myself!

We finally got the chance to check out Luna Pizza and really enjoyed everything that we got! Their menu sounded really good so it was hard to choose. Their cocktail menu was also really intriguing - we'll have to go back to check it out! We got the single order of the Panzanella Salad and it was really nice and refreshing. It had tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, house croutons, mozzarella, salami, white balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. It was the perfect refreshing compliment to our Crisp Eggplant Pizza! The pizza was topped with a tomato or white sauce (we chose tomato), mozzarella, breaded eggplant slices, shaved Parmesan, and fresh basil. To round out a great meal, we got the Tiramisu. It came served in a cup which we found unusual for a tiramisu, but boy was it good! It was cookies, mascarpone, whipped cream, espresso, chocolate, and marsala. You could really taste the espresso and the cookies soaked everything in beautifully. So glad that Luna opened up in Clayton and we hope to be back soon!
