Delicious Portabella Mushrooms topped with "Grandma's sauce", goat cheese and basil. A great first taste.
I was recently invited to check out Blue Moon Pizza, a local chain with four Atlanta area locations. Owners Kelvin and Mandy Slater have built a fun concept including a delicious variety of "specialty moons" (pizzas) as well as salads, "flatwiches" (sandwiches with bread made from pizza crust dough and appetizers. In addition to the Buckhead location (pictured below), there are locations in Marietta, Smyrna and now Sandy Springs as well. Click here for specific location information.
We had the opportunity to taste the mushroom appetizer (above) as well as several pizzas and one of the salads. Everything was good, with enough spice already added to make red pepper flakes a non-issue (at other pizza places we are always shaking those little glass bottles to try and get more flavor on the food!) I particularly enjoyed the portabella mushrooms, the Santa Fe style pizza and the Cobb salad. I look forward to trying more options on a future visit. We also had a fun time talking with Kelvin and Mandy, who are obviously dedicated to their concept of making Blue Moon "an everyday place that still feels special" for their customers. There is a loyalty program as well as a newsletter.

Casual, pleasing dining area adorned with special blue moon decor. The restaurant also features the amazing Coke machine with dozens of possible flavor combinations. I had fun trying out cherry Dr. Pepper - a rare treat!
Top half: BBQ chicken pizza; below: Jerk chicken pizza - just the right amount of spice!
Top half: Grandma's Pizza; below: my personal favorite, the Santa Fe featuring black beans, avocado and jalepenos - spicy and so delicious.
Calvin enjoyed a blue "moontini" - all locations feature a full bar with $5 martinis every Thursday.
Cobb salad - this is no ordinary salad! All salads at Blue Moon are served on pizza crusts - a neat touch.
Blue Moon also features a special gluten-free pizza crust, which can be used for all of the pies and for garlic bread. There is a list of gluten-free menu items and even a gluten-free chocolate brownie. Additionally, the restaurant offers lunch specials like a slice of cheese pizza, a side salad and a soda for $6.99.
Delivery is available within 3 miles of any location. Blue Moon also features Take-n-Bake: you pick up a pizza that is ready to be cooked in your oven at home. The pizza comes with a special baking tray to help you achieve that perfect crispness!
If you haven't already become a fan, give Blue Moon a try!

Yay! Gluten-Free is the way to go! Thank you for your review! I'll be visiting Blue Moon soon.
In today's hectic world if you want to relax then having a very good, mouth watering, well decorated pizza a good idea. At the same time if you are getting the ethnic and very close to its original creation then its simply mind blast. so thank you very much for these many varieties with absolutely perfection.
