One thousand stars ✨ Luna Pizza Cafe is a hidden gem, nestled in the heart of Downtown Clayton, and truly deserves the biggest recognition. We’ve searched high and low around Raleigh & surrounding areas for authentic Neapolitan pizza and Luna is the only place that nails it every single time. Also, huge shoutout to the kindest waiter ever, Kayla. We’ve official found our weekly pizza spot 🍕

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Blodgett · Feb 2026

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 regu

The food is freshly made and of a quality you don’t find in most restaurants. We ordered the Margherita pizza and spaghetti and Meatball. The pizza crust is like none I’ve never had. The sauce was perfect,fresh! The meatball was perfect as was the pasta. Order the water it’s fine!!!!
