The first time I tried to visit Moon River was when I was already in the area but it happened to be on a Sunday and they were closed. I returned just at opening time months later to try a slice of their pizza. Like many shops that offer single slices, they had tons of half baked cheese pizzas on racks waiting for customers to add the topping before they put them in the oven to finish cooking.
I ended up getting a piece of pizza with onions, peppers, pepperoni, and Italian sausage. I added a Greek salad and an order of "breadstyx". After 10 minutes, my to go order was ready.
The crust on the pizza was nice and crisp and the cheese was well melted. Aside from the pepperoni, the toppings were kind of just thrown on and they were sparse. I couldn't really justify the extra $2 of toppings. The cheese sticks had the same great dough that was used for the pizza and they were soft and pillowy. I love very cheesy cheese sticks and I thought these were lacking some in the amount of cheese on them. But even though some of them were more bready, they were still very good.
I probably should've just stuck with the pizza but I often like to add green veggies to my meals. Unfortunately, the salad was disappointing and it looked sad. It was as if they just used the toppings they had for the pizzas and put them on top of a bed of large lettuce leaves and called it a Greek salad. White onions were used instead of red onions, tomato slices replaced cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives were substituted with black and green olives, mushrooms were added, and the caesar dressing (on a Greek salad) was too thick and tasted like it had a mayonnaise or miracle whip base. The taste was offputting so I ended up using a dressing that I had at home.
Overall, I enjoyed the pizza and breadsticks mostly due to the great crust. The value is probably much better with ordering a whole pizza so the toppings can be plentiful. At $.50 for each topping that is added to the cheese pizza slices, I am not sure that it is worth it. I wish that they already had some specialty pizzas that they sold by the slice and a better Greek salad, which was a miss all around.
