    Went here for the first time last night. Everything was amazing! We interacted with 3 different staff members, each were so cool and sweet and very helpful. The atmosphere was great. Food was great. I love that you can just buy it by the slice, and also really appreciated the vegetarian option that was piled with veggies. So so good. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for pizza and a casual night.

    Best pizza I've ever had...for sure 😋. Everything is made fresh & from scratch, including the dough. They are great about customizing pizza to your wants with a smile and great service. Very reasonable prices!! Highly recommend Moon River! 👌

    Yummy pizza and friendly staff in a funky and fun setting. We ordered a T-Rex to go. I wish the dough was more even and a little thinner but I’ll go back.

    This is the hippest pizza place, with the best service and great pizza! Along with the menu on the wall is lots of awesome art work. There are also TVs to watch, if you'd rather. The vibe is great for family dinner, date night, or just hanging out with friends. Wine and beer are both available. I loved that the entire waitstaff was taking care of all the customers. It was teamwork at its finest. Our cups were never empty! And they were really friendly, taking time to search for answers to non-pizza-related questions. The pizza is DELICIOUS!! There's a vast array of toppings to choose from, including vegan and gluten-free options. We're definitely going back. Way even become regulars!

    A must go to if you're in town! We are visiting from TN to go on cruise. Belda and the other staff were incredible! We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. It was so delicious! Crust was perfect! What a great place!

    You keep seeing “Best Pizza I Ever Had” reviews. Well, I had to find out for myself. After my first time having this pizza, I started to dream about how tasty and fresh the ingredients taste. I’m currently writing this review while eating a large, and devouring half the trey. I’m not even that hungry, and yes it’s that good. If El Presidente Dave had to rate this pizza he would give it a solid 8.

    5 stars all around. Came in and had their lunch special. The staff were awesome and welcoming from the very beginning. There was even a guy that came around to make sure I didn’t need a refill, or anything else. Now for the pizza. Excellent! It was hot, and delicious. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re gonna get when you order slices from somewhere, and this place does not disappoint. Come for the pizza, stay for the good vibes and great people. I’ll be back🙌🏻

    Went today for the first time on lunch break and I'm hands down impressed. Jason was my server and was on point with whatever I needed well before even I knew I needed anything. Shout out to Jason for being the best server I have had in years. The food is incredible and the staff are all extremely friendly. You can taste the passion in the food. Thank you Moon River Pizza for an amazing experience! Will definitely be returning soon

    I did take out and I called ahead on my way home. I was able to find a close spot and run and get my pizza paid for and head out quickly. They were semi busy on a weeknight after work. I was confused that they didn’t have chicken as a topping for their pizza. That’s a first for me at a pizza place. So I just got cheese and bacon. The pizza was great but I don’t get the hype the place gets. I’m still giving it five stars because the pizza was great, service was great and ordering it was easy.

    Bread sticks are delicious. We have ordered the medium with 1/2 pineapple Maui Wowee, 1/2 the Special. The Saturday crowd packed the place.

    Loved this place! Great staff, funky and nice atmosphere - loved the pesto bread sticks, salad, and sweet tea. Pizza was really good, but not my absolute favorite sauce. Am excited to try it again when I pass through town.

  • 5/5 Jeff K. 2 months ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    A perfect neighborhood pizza place. Big slices, pizza is always good, probably the best balance of quality and price in the city. Funky atmosphere that feels real, not manufactured. It must be a great place to work, too, because the staff is stable over time.

  • 5/5 Robert R. 2 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant is clean and the food came out quick and was delicious. It is loud in the restaurant, but you can still communicate easily with the people at your table.

  • 5/5 Vicki 6 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    I honestly had never heard of this place before, but after coming here, I'm hooked!! The pizzas are HUGE, like what everyone else calls an extra large, they call a medium here. The toppings are big and thick, and the whole thing tasted amazing. The service we got was excellent. We never even came close to finishing our drinks before they came to see if we needed a refill. Staff was awesome and friendly!! This place definitely has a new regular!!

    I just moved to the area and got my dog spay so I couldn't leave the house. I ordered pizza over the phone from here for the first time and asked for a special request due to the circumstances. The owner is a dog lover, so an employee named Belda (super nice) kindly walked the pizza across way to my house! That was so incredibly kind and I am so thankful!! Also, the pizza as SO fresh. I have never had pizza where they cook the vegetables perfectly, not overcooked, but not raw. It was fresh and homemade and felt healthy to eat!! Kudos

    Always enjoy finding local spots while visiting Amelia Island..and Moon River had the best pizza! Delicious crust, not greasy at all! And such fresh toppings!! Friendly customer service. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Claire S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were on our way through town and stopped here because we wanted beer at a place around the corner. At first glance, no one was inside but once we opened the doors, it was packed! The front area guy was personable and fun. We ordered the garlic breadsticks and each had a slice and the prices are right. The staff are on it too; quickly moving about helping customers. Had a great experience here; too bad there isn't one in Tallahassee!

    Excellent service great pizza and they are consistent with checking to see if you need anything and making suggestions to improve your visit. The pizza has a crisp bottom that blends extremely well with the toppings this is the T-Rex

  • 4/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good pizza at a great price. A ton of options ranging from meat lovers to vegan. All the staff are also very friendly and seem like they are having a great time working there, been going here for years.

  • 5/5 Space C. 10 months ago on Google
    Everyone was so nice!! It was our first time there so homie hooked us up with a large vegan pesto, housemade tempeh and vegan sausage pizza that was literally to die for. Everything tasted amazing, and the price is exceptional for what you get. Only 30 bucks or so for a GIANT vegan pizza that tastes like an angel came down from heaven and made it specially for you? Sign me up. Unfortunately I didn't catch the guy's name who helped us, but you know who you are! As new vegans he also gave us some other vegan places to check out which was super amazing and helpful. I would sell my soul for this pizza.

  • 5/5 LeoDiva G. 1 year ago on Google
    House hunting and wanted a quick bite to eat..pizza is our favorite! Google led us here. It was packed... a good sign. Although we don't drink, they serve beer which the other patrons seemed to enjoy with their slice. They have pizza specials and the staff is SUPER EFFICIENT! Great spot!! Pictures are of the special medium.

  • 5/5 Dina A. 7 months ago on Google
    The place is cozy and the workers ate very friendly and kind but the pizza lack enough cheese to really taste and enjoy it.... too much bread and not enough cheese and the ingredients necessary to savor ur slice of pizza.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel E. 8 months ago on Google
    I ordered the hawian pizza I should have let it cool a bit more before eating it I had issues with the cheese and toppings falling off and I wish the ham was a bit smaller but their service and attention to detail more than made up for it. Also the owner let me pet his beautiful German Sheppard and for that alone I was gunna give them 5 stars as I am a dog lover. 40 bucks for 2 pizzas and a fountain drink isn't bad for the quality they produce. Definitely going to be back.

  • 5/5 Leo .. 7 months ago on Google
    Been going here for years. Not only the best pizza in town, but the atmosphere is great and the crew is always phenomenal. I've never had a bad experience in all the years I've eaten here. The team working there always makes me and my family feel welcome and they set the bar very high for customer service.

  • 4/5 Madison C. 9 months ago on Google
    Pizza is nothing to write home about but the area is super cool. I was expecting more from all the other review. I’ll probably go back and try it again- maybe the pizza was just off that night. But the dough was flavorless borderline sweet and I’d have to say the same for the sauce. Hopefully next time it’s better!

  • 5/5 Joe H. 8 months ago on Google
    If you're a New Yorker, you'll find this place to be close to home with taste and style. Awesome atmosphere and great customer service. Stop by they have great lunch specials.... See you there 😋😄

  • 5/5 Josh 1 year ago on Google
    I have only been here once but I truly love the vibe. The pizza was really good the salad was ok. But the real gem here is the staff. Such great people they really make the place. Loved it

  • 5/5 Charlene H. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are ALL SO NICE!!! We've gotten great pizzas and salads everyone we've gone. Highly recommend!! Don't forget to try their special seasoning. Gives your pizza and extra zing. Do good!!!

  • 5/5 Victoria S. 8 months ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this place. It's a different vibe than restaurants back home, and we loved it. Everyone was so friendly and the pizza was fantastic. Definitely would recommend..

  • 5/5 Rachael O. 10 months ago on Google
    My favorite pizza ever!! I always get just onions on my pizza. I add a little garlic powder and some crushed red pepper and it's heavenly! The slices are generous and a nice thin New York style crust. I think the secret is in the sauce. It's perfect. But then the crust is so good that there's no leftovers and I'm not a real big carb eater but this is worth cheating for. I often get the salads as well which can be an entire meal if you get the full sized salad. My favorite is the Greek salad. They take good care of you here. Great service and a fun atmosphere.
