Review:
Pizza Mezzaluna is a great little pizza shop on West Houston. Chef Francesco Vitale works the wood-fired oven like a master dishing up a delicious assortment of piping hot pies to eat in or take out.
There is the Napoli ($14) with tomato, anchovy and mozzarella; the Picante ($15) pie with spicy salami and chili peppers, and the Tonno ($16) topped with Sicilian tuna and capers. Or you can go for a traditional Margherita ($14) with tomato, mozzarella and basil.
We sampled the Funghi e Salsiccia ($17) topped with a healthy supply of fresh mozzarella, wild mushrooms and spicy sausage. The crust arrived perfectly crisp with a nice char. A simple tomato sauce and fresh basil finish it off. Simply delicious! And while the four-slice pie could easily feed two, you may want one just for yourself.
Pizza Mezzaluna also serves up a nice assortment of fresh salads, and pasta dishes like; homemade Black Linguine ($12) with a spicy tomato sauce, and Green Lasagna ($13) with Bolognese sauce. Bufalo mozzarella can also serve as a meal here. It's offered with your choice of Italian salami, prosciutto di Palma, mortadella and bresaola Valtellina.
Pizza Mezzaluna is a friendly spot that any neighborhood would gladly welcome.

I finally found authentic pizza like I eat in Napoli! It's surprisingly hard to find in NYC, especially made by a real pizzaiolo from Italy. Felice, felice - grazie!

My favorite chicken salad in SoHo
Everyone raves about the pizza, but it's the fresh salads that I like here. One of my regular stops on shopping trips.

Slice new favorite Pizza in West Village
Wow, I didn't veer from the Bleecker Street Pizza pizzarias like Joe's Pizza and Pizza Box, but I did last night and it was delicious. Thank you Slice for another great food find! http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2009/03/pizza-mezzuluna-greenwich-village-nyc.html

The Best Pizza in Greenwich Village or SoHo!
This place has increased the value of the real estate around it. Everything on the menu is really wonderful and fairly priced, even for NYU students. Grazie!
