a moonlight goodbye in Raleigh
In the sticky transition I am in, lodged back and forth amidst my new home (Asheville) and the home we’re leaving (Raleigh), I was lucky enough last week to have two goodbye outings with work colleagues. The first was fun and official. The second one was impromptu. On a whim, four of us went to my favorite pizza place in all of the Triangle (or anywhere I’ve been, actually): Moonlight Pizza.
(That’s Lisa on her blackberry in the pic.)
My sister discovered this place several years ago and introduced me to its wonderfulness. I love that it is locally-owned and better than anywhere else around. I love the funky, warm ambiance of its inside area. I love the essence of Raleigh you feel when you eat on their patio, which we did being the great night it was (plus Doug brought his buddy-dog Willow Bee ~ btw, thank you, Doug, for suggesting Moonlight!).
I love that I can order a tasty pizza without cheese and have avocado and pistachios on my marinara instead. I love that two of the four beers they had on draft were Angry Angel (my favorite Raleigh beer) and Highland Oatmeal Porter (an Asheville brewery).
Then, when I asked for the to-go box for my leftovers, I found another thing to love about Moonlight:
100% Recycled-content box. Heck yeah! Locally-owned and steps toward a more sustainable business practice and smaller footprint!
Cheers to what is wonderful about Raleigh and Moonlight! ~ Ashley Sue
