Moondog Pizza - Morganton

Thanks to informal recommendations from several local friends—one of whom even insisted that his parents host their wedding rehearsal dinner at Moondog Pizza—I was excited to try it for myself. It absolutely lived up to the hype. They serve the ideal thin crust pizza, which can be topped with their fantastic specialty combinations or customized with your choices. Whether you prefer red sauce, white sauce, or the more unique pesto sauce, you’ll feel like a winner at this pizza lover's paradise.

The pizza was soggy and unappetizing. The wait for our food was absurd, especially since we only ordered three items. Almost everyone who arrived after us received their meals long before we did; some diners had already finished and were leaving by the time ours finally arrived. This place is also significantly overpriced. You could overhear the kitchen staff behaving unprofessionally. We waited 20 to 30 minutes before anyone acknowledged that we were waiting to be seated, and it took another customer going into the kitchen to inform them about us. On a brighter note, our waitress was exceptional—she deserves five stars, while the kitchen earns just one.

If you enter from Sterling Street, you'll need to walk up some stairs, but it's definitely worth it. This is one of the top five pizza places I’ve ever been to!

Some of the best pizza we’ve had in a long time. Loved the pillowy crust. Our server (whose name I sadly forget) was awesome. Super attentive, friendly, and even took our picture for us. My mom is hard of hearing and loved that the acoustics allowed her to hear the conversation.

Wonderful place. Great food. Outstanding staff. Welcoming to all. Family friendly. I’ll visit every chance I get. If you’re going to eat it Morganton this is where you go. They deserve 10 stars. I personally want to meet the owner and shake their hand. I grew up in this town and can’t tell you how grateful I am to have such an accepting and open minded business. Never thought it would happen. I hope they thrive and grow for many years to come.
