Luna Pizza

by

Far out at the crossroads of I-17 and the 101 Loop situated in one of those shopping centers built around a mega-theatre complex, is Luna Pizza.

It’s a pleasant little place inside and had quite a few people late on a Sunday night. It’s in a poor location in the shopping center, and everything near it was closed.

One person appeared to be using his laptop with available wireless internet, but I suspect it was coming through from the Wildflower Bread Company next door.

I try to approach every pizza restaurant with an open mind, but the pizza on the other patrons’ tables didn’t look too promising.

When our pizza arrived, I was still under-whelmed by its appearance. The crust just looked flat and lifeless.

The pizza spilled cheese and sauce everywhere as we pulled the first pieces and so I took a fork and grabbed a bite of cheese and sauce only. I couldn’t quite place my finger on it, but I didn’t like the sauce, it was a bit too much like a jar of spaghetti sauce. The cheese was overpowered by the sauce.

There was also a loose piece of pepperoni, so I tried that before having a bite of pizza proper. The pepperoni was bitter.

Once I’d gone this far into trying the pieces separately, I decided to take a bite of the end of the crust. As it looked, so it was – lifeless and flat.

And so, having determined that I didn’t really like any part of the pizza, I started to eat.

I’ve always said that pizza is more than the sum of its parts, and Luna Pizza proves that. Perhaps it’s the missing link between just ingredients and pizza, because it was a lot better as a whole.

It still wasn’t great, and I wouldn’t recommend it, but it was better than I was expecting.

Their prices already have tax built in, so to equalize their prices versus my other reviews, I’ve applied the following formula X*108.1%=$10.50 or X=$9.71

At that price, it works out to $0.06 (0.063) per in2
