Luna Rossa Winery & Pizzeria 1321 Avenida de Mesilla, Las Cruces, NM 88005

"We’re always on the hunt for delicious wood-fired pizza and Luna Rossa did not disappoint! My son is a Margherita pizza “expert” and he raved about his. The Insalata Paolo was full of delicious toppings and served far more than just 2 of us. I had the Quattro Stagioni as I’m a sucker for artichokes. It was delicious! The crusts were just perfect! Had their Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio and enjoyed both. Shared some very tasty gelato for dessert. All in all, a very satisfying night out!"

"The pizza was disappointing. The dough was very soggy. I’ve never had soggy wood fired pizza before so it was a huge bummer. The atmosphere is wonderful. We sat outside under the shade and enjoyed the sun and live music. The wine was great. We ordered the Sangria and definitely recommend if you like a sweet red. The salmon pasta was amazing. I can’t wait until our next trip to Cruces so I can order it again. Good gelato too!"

"Fun fact: Luna Rossa is the largest grape grower in New Mexico with over 200 acres of vineyards. They grow all of the varietals they offer on their menu and the types of grapes are extensive. I would think that having so much variety seems like a hard thing to do well. But I do have to admit, I enjoyed a number of the wines! Things I loved: they offer “bambino” sizes of their pizzas and pastas which gives you so many options to choose from for the kiddos. The wine selection does not disappoint. The pizza. Oh. Em. Geeee. So so good. Try the Bianca and add the green chilies. To die for. Where they can do better: I would have appreciated learning more about these wines through the servers. It’s more of a choose a flight and here you go. Also the bathroom situation is tough; there are single stalls that are gender specific. They should make these non-gender specific so the ladies don’t always have a long line. If you’re feeling wine and pizza, this is your place!"
