Guatemalan cooks turn a Parsons Boulevard pizzeria into Luna de Xelajú
In 2003 the current owners took over a pizzeria here and, drawing on their Guatemalan cooking, grew it into a Guatemalan restaurant, bakery and pizzeria in one. The name refers to a much-loved Guatemalan love song and to Xelajú, the K'iche' Maya name for Quetzaltenango, Guatemala's second-largest city. The pizza ovens also bake sweet breads and cookies such as the sesame-topped champurrada.
