“I cannot say enough amazing things about this restaurant. The Catupiry cheese something I have never tasted before and it's out of this world. The dough is exquisite and it's slightly fermented so it's not too heavy in your belly. The dessert pizzas are so good and also unlike anything I have ever eaten. The restaurant has amazing ambiance and the service was great too. Do yourself a favor and try the Brazilian style pizza when you're in Waikiki. They'be even imported the pizza oven. It's something special.“
“I love me a good sandwich! I'm not too well-versed in Italian authencity but Bocconcino was so fresh and filling that I would love to come back again and try their other selections. It's a small shop where they sell deli meats, pasta, wines, and other ingredients. I love that they have a covered designated eating area next door -- the convenience! The pictures fooled me because it didn't look too big until I held the Bolognese in my hand...I'm so glad my friend and I shared it because there was no way I could finish it all in one sitting. However, we also ordered the Prosciutto Arugula Pizza and I was struggling to take a bite because of the sandwich. Depiste being full, I loved everything and wouldn't mind coming back again! The wait can be pretty long so it's highly recommended to participate in their online ordering system. They have a couple stalls in front but we parked at Whole Foods and walked over“
“Fantastic! We had the calamari , tagliatelle alla bolognese and tagliatelle pomodoro e crème con gamberetti! Fantastic choice with a generous portion! Our server was Randy and he was fantastic! Aran info is our go to Italian restaurant and we go there frequently, never have been disappointed!“
“Neapolitan style pizza in Honolulu. Recommend reservations before you go. Order the meatballs - you won’t be disappointed!!!Service is excellent. Waitstaff are always kind, personable and professional.Parking in the area is suspect. Your best bet, Uber over. Trying to find parking in the area on a Saturday night - good luck.Parking: Best bet is to Uber to avoid the aggravation.“
“Solid Italian restaurant that hit the spot. I almost feel like the decor and store front doesn't match the level of quality of food. Don't let this fool you. The food here is very good and doesn't taste like fast food at all. We were surprised that it was empty on a Monday night at 7pm but by 8pm it filled up! I would definitely come back to try the lasagna! We loved every dish that we ordered!“
“Got introduce to this pizza place by the wife and when around the airport area or work around the area it was a must in getting me that Kanaka pizza and garlic cheese balls the food there is awesome can't complain and the service there to is cool. Take out or eat in either way to enjoy some pizza from Big Kahunas one thing I miss is there shakes not to sure if they still makes them but I always had a mix Oreo with Mac nut shake hands down favorite hope to visit soon maybe this weekend“
“Best vegan pizza on the island hands down! The owner and the team are all vegans as well and are great people to talk to. The restaurant has a very chill environment with outside and inside seating. Everything and I mean Everything from the dough to the cheese to the toppings is made in house definitely making vegan replacements is tough, but they have pulled it off. The salads were awesome definitely recommend while waiting for the pizza! Also the cheesecake is great! Definitely our go to dinner spot on the weekends we love the vegan food and chill atmosphere here!“
“Great atmosphere and service! Typical beers for an Irish bar, but being from NY, it's definitely not NY Pizza. Too thin, flimsy, and small, but it tastes great and it's nice having the option downtown. Excited for st paddy's day!“
“The shop is at the bottom of the hotel, it's pretty small from what I remember, but what a great way to start the day!We tried different pastry shops for malasada, and honestly, they were all really good. Some probably a little better than others, but it's hard to pinpoint a noticeable difference.I think I actually like those more than I like regular donuts. The flavors are different too.“
“Hidden gem! We ordered a pepperoni, a margherita, and half-cheese half-sausage pizza and loved it. Crust is New York style, great red sauce and quality toppings. Staff is super friendly. No indoor seating, so be prepared to take it to your place or the park. As tourists we ate it in the back of our truck! Thank you for the great eats ‘ili’ili!“
“We had went there as a family get together and my sister in law shared with the manager why we were all gathering she was so generous to give my 8 yr old son a game pass that he could enjoy as many games as he wanted for a whole hour. We had a party of over 10 people whom was there to show my son how much they love him after a vicious pitbull attack happened a few days prior..“
“Just moved here and wanted to try something besides Costco..which is delicious. So we looked up random place on Google and found Boston’s Pizza. We walked in and the atmosphere was great. You can see the chefs in the back flipping doe which my daughter loved, and a huge fire oven. The pizza itself tastes pretty good. I would definitely go back with family. Was not a fan of the price point though!! But it everything else amazing“
“I like this place and my kids love it. The pizza is really good, I can eat a whole medium pizza by myself and still want more. I like that there’s not a lot of crust allowing for the other ingredients to be noticed in the pizza. The atmosphere is great, I also did my son’s birthday party here and it was awesome. The staff took care of everything, they were very nice, great service, decent amount of games to play, kids get to be kids. I take my kids here every other weekend.“
“Impressive service, delicious food, reasonable prices. An absolute win! Bruschetta is HIGHLY recommended. Best we’ve had in a LONG time. The ahi with asparagus risotto broke da mouth. One of our favorite meals on this trip. Worth the drive if you’re coming from Waikiki or Ko Olina!Parking: Easy, on-site parking.“
“Pretty decent food the evening we went! Great friendly service with live music. The restaurant had no windows so it could be a little dim. I feel like it could use a bit more decor to make add more warmth to it. My favorite items there were the mud pie and surf and turf. The filet mignon was very tender and juicy and the lobster was delectable. We also tried their escargot, foie gras, duck breast. The escargot could use a bit more herbs, the foie gras was mostly fat and not much liver, not very good quality, and the duck breast was cooked almost like in Cantonese style? Too much hoisin sauce for me. Overall nice evening to celebrate my birthday in a small, local restaurant.“
“Food was good (when in Oahu, it’s hard to find as good quality we’ve found so we’re comparing this place to other Oahu places- not mainland).They use San Marzano tomatoes so the sauces are that good true Italian flavor.Portions are okay, and cost is high, but so is the island in general.It was SO LOUD and kind of crammed inside so don’t expect to be able to have a quiet table conversation. It’s as loud as a cafeteria.Our waiter was such an amazing person and was very helpful.We would eat here again for sure!“
“Stopped in to watch March Madness and cheer for Duke. Visiting from NC. Ordered off the happy hour menu. The crispy rice and spicy was super fantastic. Also, really enjoyed the beer menu. Ryan, was super helpful. Will absolutely come here again when we visit Hawaii. I highly highly highly recommend this place.“
“This is strictly take-out, but boy, they do it well. Talk about yummy! Any one of the lasagna options are my favorite. We order from here regularly, and I have to say I have never (knock on wood) had a sub-par meal. I daydream about this food I love it so much. Service is on point, place is clean, food is great and prices won't give you sticker shock. Try it out. I dare you.“
“Some solid pasties here, but not all taste of what they're named after! The lychee danish was super light but the pastry was properly crisp. Lilikoi cheesecake tasted just like a normal NY style cheesecake but was yummy nonetheless. The mango scone tasted just like a plain scone and the cranberry one was also very light, but both were fluffy inside with a crisp exterior.Overall, favorites were the panna cotta with fresh fruit (refreshing and not too sweet), the guava rose shaped cheesecake, and the pear tart. We do wish that there could be less packaging used - we got individual plastic containers for everything which generated a lot of trash.“
“Pizza Mamo is a nice little pizza place in Chinatown. If you want a hand crafted pizza with fresh ingredients then this is the place for you. Typically they have two beers on tap and two wine choices. The focus here is the pizza. Come in sit down and dip a beer while they craft your pizza to your liking.Vegetarian options: Just say no to meat.“
“Love the atmosphere and the staff are so great. Its our local watering hole. Go for the Hibiscus margarita, kitchen sink fried rice and salt and vinegar chicken skins. My only critique is I wish they had more options on items like the salad (can only get salmon, no other protein option) and the burger appears to be a premade patty instead of the amazing burgers that are in the meat case. But great idea to have it in a grocery store where purchasing power and usage or ingredients can be maximized. Plus the Foodland Farms in Pearl City is impeccable.Parking: Lots of parking available“
“Over Priced small portions Mahi-mahi fish and chips, more like appetizer , taste okay.Now, the Coconut corn chowder soup ? taste great and Uber Coconut Pie ? are very good ‼️The Service is okay and just a little slow for me and isn't even busy at all.“

“This place is stunning! Its very resort like and not super cheap, not too crazy expensive given you're in hawaii. This is like an upscale fun zone, cornhole, surfing, dining, drinks, kayaking, sup, paddle boards/bikes, jet skiing, lounging, water fun/slip n slide adventure course, a small white sand beach-- lots of space to have a more quiet moment or separate from the group. Parking also is very easy. Definitely will be back!“
“I absolutely fell in love with this bar from the get go. The location, amazing. The food, spectacular. The staff, friendly fun and total sweethearts. Although all the staff I got to meet were awesome, shout out to Nikki specifically. She made me feel welcome from the first time I walked in the door. Her cocktail menu is delicious and not at all what I had expected from a bar tucked into an alley. Her attention to detail and attentiveness you all the patrons is excellent. I would hire her any day of the week.“
“Firstly, it's been awhile since I've been to La Pizza Rina. Secondly, i vaguely recall their pizza, which I had once. Lastly, they provide vegetarian options ( only a few ) other than a cheese pizza. I dined in once several years ago - small dining area with around 10 tables - but have had takeout the last 3-4 times I have patronized this local small business. There is parking behind, I believe, but I have only utilized the metered street stalls. Ordered takeaway pizza on this last occasion. Got it within the wait time quoted. Small cheese pizza. Not exactly a classic NY pie but it was alright. I have had a couple of pasta dishes and antipasto and if I recall correctly, I did enjoy all of the aforementioned.“
“We bought 2 sticky buns, 2 round sweet pecan pastries, and 2 savory croissants. Both the sweet pastries were excellent and the savory croissants were very crispy after putting it in the oven for 3 minutes. Not a lot of filling but good. Great prices 2 for $5 but I had to take away one star for the very arrogant rude service by the server dude with the beard. We waited in line and iso wanting to serve an elderly he wanted to help the young gal behind us so i mentioned to him we have been waiting in line. From that point on, he did not even want to make eye contact with us and he was rude to us. We asked him for the price and instead of just saying 2 for $5, he pointed to a sign with the prices and rolled his eyes. Shame on this young man with the beard for not displaying hawaiian friendliness.“
“Can't wait to come back! The homemade gnocchi was an absolute treat, the cacciucco was chock full of fresh seafood and veggies and the escargot was delectable! Highly recommended!Parking: Parked on the street, so can't speak to a lot of any sort“
“Delicious food. Some of the best pizza and ingredients our family ever had. Nicco our server was awesome. Fountain soda was on point with their syrup/CO2 mixture. More of a takeout place than dine in but there is some dine in area. Overall 5 stars for sure!“
“Stumbled on this place because I wanted pizza from a place that wasn’t a large chain establishment. It didn’t disappoint. Good beer on tap and good pizza with a couple of other options. I’ve had their super a couple times and just recently the bbq chicken pizza. They’re heavy pizzas so something to consider when choosing size.“
“My go to place for pizza when near Pearl Highlands Shopping Center! I always choose the Build It Your Way option and am never disappointed. Also got the Italian Salad. The fresh mozzarella cheese balls and veggies was actually a meal in itself!“

“We ate for 2 for under $50 with cocktails! That's a hard find on the strip. There are multiple restaurants in the food hall. It's located on the 3rd floor of the shopping center. We tried Potama, Burger Wiki Wiki, and Five Star Shrimp. I was really impressed by Potama, for $5 this is definitely a bang for your buck type of meal! The seaweed one had a sweet and savory umami flavor that I loved. The garlic shrimp was amazing and for only $15.5 you really can't beat the price. There are other restaurants in the food hall so I'll definitely be back before the end of my trip.“
“Not sure why this joint isn't on Yelp, but happy I get to introduce it. It's a speakeasy above the kaka'ako Aloha Beer that's open only Fridays and Saturdays. They serve a selection of the popular beers from downstairs as well as craft cocktails. The cocktails are mostly classics such as painkiller, old fashioned, paper plane, with some of their own like the aloha. What sets this place apart is how well each drink is made.It's order at the bar and find your own seating type of place so don't be shy and make friends in the lounge seating enclaves. Be friendly with an aloha spirit like the bar staff so no worries sista/brah.Love the dark and gothic ambiance, but not sure what to think of the fairy tail looking reindeer over the stage/fire except that I found it funny once told it wasn't real.There's valet or self parking next to the place and the fee is reduced with validation.If you're really overzealous you can visit Aloha Beer until 11 pm and come up here til midnight.Only recommendation I’d have is to improve the ice. They use regular ice versus large cubes or balls. Regular ice melts too fast, especially on the island.“
“By far the best pizza on the island! The pizza was glossed with a nice mozzarella glaise but wasn't too overwhelming for the palate. A perfect balancing act if I do say myself. I have ventured into many establishments through years that have claimed to "perfect the pizza". However, Pizza Pie is truly unrivaled in their culinary skills. Compliments to chef! I was also amazed by the hospitality on display. The staff was phenomenonal! My server, Blake, went above and beyond. He was constantly checking in and made sure I felt welcomed. Pizza Pie is second to none!“
“We had lunch on the terrace. Enjoy Italian food under the blue skies of Oahu. There is also a Japanese menu.The staff was smiling and friendly, and even took photos for me.The food was delicious and plentiful, and we took the leftovers to go.“
“TL;DR Very good (but not quite amazing) pizza. La Bomba pizza = ONO Funghi pizza = ONO Cannibale pizza = ONO ----- My family lives right across the street from Manoa Marketplace, so we were very excited to here that Aroma Italia (AI) was coming to town. We had enjoyed the catering of the Monsarrat location a couple times and were looking forward to having a pizza joint nearby. I believe that last time Manoa had dedicated pizza restaurant was when Boston's Pizza was located at the now Serg's. Enough chit chat. Let's get to the review. We've ordered from AI three times now and have enjoyed every meal. Is this the best pizza in the world? Of course not. But it's solid. Our favorite pizzas are the La Bomba, the Funghi , and the Cannibale. We've also had the Pollo Pesto Caprese (decent - I'm just not a huge fan of pesto sauce on my pizza) and the Garlic Pink Scampi (very good flavor, but very little shrimp). We ordered the Caesar Salad, which was alright, but they provided the tiniest portion of dressing; it was not nearly enough to dress all the lettuce provided. Apparently they typically provide two dressing containers, so perhaps they just forgot one of ours. We probably won't order another salad. Hopefully in the future they expand their menu to include pastas.“
“Affordable $9.99 pepperoni and drink special. Perfect size pizza with good portion of pepperoni's. Came with a fountain soda drink. But I bought a beer separately from the purchase. The young man taking my order was very personable, courteous and accommodating adjusting my order to add the beer. Pizza was quick and I was eating with 15 minutes. Excellent indoor and outdoor dining. I'd return for sure.“
“$10 Charcuterie!? I'm in!I saw this place on Instagram, offering $10 Charcuterie Days on random Fridays, so as soon as I saw the post announcing the date, i gathered my food-loving friends and we made our way downtown (walking fast, faces pass). We got there 20 minutes early and were the fourth people on line. By opening time, the line was out the door and stayed that way for last least an hour.They have a variety of items to choose from like cheeses, meats, pastas, salads, etc. and they'll keep refilling it as needed for the duration of the buffet, and you can go back as many times as you want. Everything we tried was delicious, and it's a great way to sample different things. They also sell groceries (cheeses, snacks, olives, truffle oil, etc.) straight from Italy.“
“The food is really excellent. Cakes and the rest of bakery goods are great. Pizzas are like expensive gourmet pies. The pizza dough/crust is delicious. Not greasy! Beef brisket is also really good. Everything is so affordable it's one of the few killer deals left these days.“
“I haven't been to a club ish bar in such a while, but it was my first time here. I like how at a certain time, a dj got set up, and music started bumpin. The dance floor got filled up pretty quickly and it got packed. There was no entrance fee the night we came, and they had some pupus and drinks to order. Seating was very limited in the main entrance area due to it being turned into a dance floor, but there were private areas available and an outdoor area. It was pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind coming by again for an occasion.“
“Great place for a quick bite to eat! Food is always consistent. Service with a smile all the time ! Our favorite is the pizzas and how affordable it is , if I have to feed a group of keikis I always get pizzas.. a bummer is that they don't have the combo pizza anymore .. that was the best!“
“Best pizza on the island! Focaccia sandwiches are amazing as well. Chef owner is dedicated and very responsive. Support local business! Convenient location a block from Nimitz in a former custom glass company. You can admire the beautiful stained glass windows while you're there.“
“Hands down, my favorite location on Oahu. Never had a problem with all of the deliveries I have had, or their drivers. The orders are cooked to perfection. Shout out to their driver, Elijah, who is always prompt and courteous and has a sick ride.“
“Today on Saturday night, 12:00am midnight, Dec 17th, an Asian elder delivery man open the door for me with respect and amazing customer service. Also, there was a tall white man in the back and he was wearing a mask and looked like he might have long curly hair but he was extremely nice as well. These guys genuinely made my night because usually I always get the cold shoulder from everyone in general. Thank you dominos for having such excellent workers. Find these men and give them a raise. The Asian gentleman drives a white Nissan Altima. My name is Alex Chang and I phone-ordered spinach feta cheese sticks with Fanta orange. Thank you guys.Give them my thanks.“
“Pretty good actually. The orders are always on time, staff is very clean so are the facilities. Love the rewards when using app, though the free large pizza changed to middle now, there’s a lot more options to redeem the points now. Thanks Domino’s!“
“My first time ordering from Domino's Hawaii and I wasn't disappointed. The gentleman I spoke with was very courteous, polite and helpful. The pizza and cheesy bread (my new favorite) was delicious and fresh. Thank you Domino's Kapolei.“
“A local community gem that has been serving great pizza for decades. Parking is available for pick up, just have to time it right. One size makes it easy. Good options available for toppings. And the best is their quality and taste........so delicious!“
“Stopped at Lewers Street Pizza & Ice Cream for a snack after some drinks and dancing at Kikis Upstairs. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the ice cream was so good! I got the ube flavor and it definitely hit the spot for the late-night sweets craving. The smell of pizza was tempting me as I saw people walking away with some, will have to come back and try it! Honestly, the perfect combo is grabbing a late dinner at The Pupu House, going to Kikis Upstairs to dance and grab drinks, and then stop at Lewers Street Pizza & Ice Cream for the after-club munchies.“

“Pizzas were perfect, delivered hot and tasty (The Philly cheese steak pizza and the veggie thin crust). Driver was very polite and friendly. Never had this kind of customer service when I lived in California.. sorry, can’t post photos pizza was gone as fast as it was delivered ?“

“Came to watch tennis. Called prior & they told me sure come over & when I did the place was only partially occupied. They told me to pick whatever tv I wanted. I was so happy. My server Todd was great &so was the cesaer salad. I would come back for sure. The music was fun & lively.“
“Amazing! I love the employees at this location. They're very heavy on customer service & always seek ways for improvement! Would recommend ordering online for carryout and delivery, because online has better deals than what they have instore. Also, past hickam hours, Target Papa John's handles all Hickam orders. You can order online for special deals, but you have to use a fake address that they deliver to & then put the real address on delivery comments. If it's too much of a hassle, you can call & ask what their specials are.“
