Luna Corner Pizza opened on November 16, 2009 and brings authentic Italian pizza creation into the MiMo District (which runs along Biscayne between around 50th up to 80th). The fast casual restaurant offers guests a “taste of Italy” with its fresh  pies and friendly customer service. The Neapolitan-style pizzas are made with top-shelf, high quality ingredients imported from Italy, including multi-grain dough, extra virgin olive oil, Italian meats and cheeses and organic San Marzano tomatoes. Created, baked and ready in under five minutes, the pizzas serve 4 to 5 people with half size options and by the slice. Luna Corner Pizza is ideal for on-the-go patrons, with quick and easy pick-up or delivery available.

Luna Corner Pizza’s location, 69th and Biscayne, is the first domestic outpost for the Amatruda family. The family has been specializing in the art of pizza making in Crema, Italy for over 40 years, having opened the first Luna Pizzeria in 1968.  They then decided to expand their business and launch Luna Corner Pizza internationally in China and France. Luna Corner Pizza stays true to the Amatruda family’s pizza origins, making them one of the most sought after among pizza aficionados internationally. 

The restaurant offers five signature flavors and weekly specialty pizzas. Menu options will include the Margherita (Italian style mozzarella, Italian style (Parmigianino and fresh basil), Salciccia (Italian style mozzarella, Italian sausage, onion and fresh basil), Hawaiano (Italian style mozzarella, prosciutto cotto and fresh pineapple), Salame Piccante (Italian style mozzarella, salame piccante and fresh basil) and more. Weekly specials may include pizzas such as the Napoli (Italian style mozzarella, capers, anchovies, olives and basil) and Verdure (Italian style mozzarella, green pepper, eggplant, zucchini, onion and basil). The restaurant also serves authentic Italian desserts by the famed Dolcemio by La Donatella, such as apple pie, profiteroles, tiramisu and chocolate mousse. Guests can also enjoy sparkling Italian sodas, San Pellegrino and more.

Luna Corner Pizza’s design was inspired by modern Italian aesthetics with contemporary LED lighting illuminating the colorful space. The focal point is the state-of-the-art kiosk, with a traditional Italian stone oven. LCD television screens and quotes from legendary Italian personalities through the centuries,, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Giorgio Armani, Andrea Bocelli and Sophia Loren, accent the walls.
