Bella Luna Pizzeria and Pub

27370 Canal Road

Orange Beach, Alabama 36565

Overall Rating: Good to Very Good(** 1/2)

Pizza type: New York style, inspired.

Pizza ordered: Sausage

Crust: The crust is the weak point of this pie. Very bready and soft, only displaying any nice crispiness or firmness on the edges. The breadiness tends to overshadow the flavors of other ingredients and the overall flavor blend.

Sauce: The sauce is outstanding. It is a delicate tomato blend and the only fault I could possibly find with it is a bit too much salt, but other than that, it's a hit!

Cheese: Although it doesn't seem to be a natural mozzarella, the cheese is of very good quality and doesn't display any sour edge or separation, often found in poor quality, processed mozzarellas.

Other Topping(s): The sausage was very good and not over applied. It was distributed over the pie in smaller pieces, but not crumbles...it had some substance.  It was very well spiced with no greasy aftertaste.

Atmosphere: I would call it an updated, or contemporary, pizzeria atmosphere. The room has clean lines with a relaxing decor. An attractive salad bar is located along one wall, and the pub is in an adjacent room area. The space strikes a good compromise between family friendly and upscale pub feel.

Service: Excellent service and attention to detail.  The staff does not interrupt often, but does ask the right questions so you are accommodated.

Utensils: Sturdy silverware, but rather flimsy napkins.

Overall: This is a "Good" to Very good" pizzeria.  I would say the beady crust is the only trait that doesn't make it a solid "Very good".  With that said, this is a solid pizza in a great location.  So if you find yourself in Orange Beach, Alabama and need pizza...you can't go wrong here!
