Mezza Disappointed Luna
 
My wife and I were craving pizza and decided that we would try Mezza Luna Italian Restaurant. We called up to place and order for takeout and was told there was a 10% surcharge on all takeout orders.

We never heard of anything like that before, (pizza boxes must be more expensive then washing dishes and the help needed for that). We decided to order anyways hoping that the pizza would be superb.

An extra cheese and sausage pizza was ordered. Turn around time for the pizza was excellent. Unfortunately that was the only good thing.

The cheese tasted like a mixture of ricotta and mozzarella and the sausage was hard, crumbled up and tasteless.

What a Mezza disappointment. We will not be going there again.

I like Fliippers also but we wanted to try something new and see if we could find another good pizza place

We have gone to Mezza Luna three time and three times we were disappointed.

Giovanni's does better but try and get a table

What's the difference between Mezza Luna and Giovanni's?

Mezza Luna is an Italian Restaurant attempting to cook Italian using Italian ingredients .

Whereas Giovanni is an Italian from Naples who brought with him his home town recipes. My parents were Neapolitan and Giovanni's menu duplicates my mother's home recipes. Yea I'm bias here and my mothers meat sauce so thick and rich was the best:D I had my wife mentor with my mother for many years I'm not stupid

Mezza Luna
 
I have never had their pizza, but I love the other food I have had. Especially like the Veal Parm and the Pasta e fagioli soup. I will be going back.

Where is NYPD pizza?

Buena Vista, left on 466, go past Bone Fish, and it's on the right at the right end of a strip plaza.

I've never had their pizza, but agree with sallybowron that their food is excellent. It is my favorite Italian restaurant around, their gravy/sauce is the best and have never been disappointed. Their service is excellent. To each his own, but IMHO, Mezza Luna beats Giovanni's. The last time I ordered Chick Parm at Giovanni's, the chicken was still frozen in the middle. Giovanni's does have great pizza, but for me, NYPD is best pizza around. But as I say, to each his own which is why they make chocolate and vanilla.

We really like the pizza and the stromboli. Their sauce is so fresh tasting.
