Originally from Italy, Franco and Carmela Liberta were living in New York with their young family when the health of their children forced them to relocate to Clovis. With a family history of delis and pizzerias, the Libertas planned on opening their own restaurant here but were met with sharp criticism from those in the area that they would 'never make it'.
On opening day in 1969, with no employees and borrowed money for the groceries, Franco and Carmela Liberta opened Luna Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in downtown Clovis. Despite warnings that their restaurant would fail, they persevered and their first day was such a success, that they hired a couple of their customers on the spot to begin working that evening. The Libertas worked hard throughout the years, involving their three children in the process as well. In time they bought the building next door and expanded the restaurant to include another dining area and a banquet room.
