London is pushing boundaries in the kitchen with the launch of Luna—the world's very first first pizza taco, available at Unlock in Hackney Wick from October.

This innovative dish is a combination of two beloved street-food classics: the Neapolitan pizza fritta (fried pizza) and the Mexican taco, offering a new take on classic comfort food favourites.

Luna is shaped like a half moon and is a creative take on a Naples classic pizza fritta, available with both classic and more inventive toppings. The new dish combines the crispy dough of a Neapolitan pizza with the bite-sized convenience of a taco, the first of its kind.

Giovanni Izzo, the founder of Unlock, says: “Luna is more than just a new dish—it's a revolution in street food. We've taken the heart of traditional Neapolitan flavours and married them with the boldness of gourmet ingredients to create something that's never been done before. We believe it will challenge the boundaries of flavour while still delivering the soul-warming comfort food experience.”

Luna by Unlock is available in three flavours:

Porcino – Porcini, shiitake mushrooms, crispy guanciale, leek, taleggio cream
Genovese – Slow-cooked silverside beef, stewed onion, crispy onion, pecorino sauce, chives
Spicy Mango – Mango, green cabbage, avocado, feta, sweetcorn sauce

Luna is available exclusively at Unlock Pizza in Hackney, London from October 2024.
