Best day on the island EVER! Pizzas was delicious, we had three at the table.

This is an old school pizza place with giant ovens, an open kitchen and staff that welcomes you like family! The pizza was genuinely incredible, perfectly cooked and made by James, the owner, an artist working his ass off and creating perfection. If you're passing through, a local or anyone in the mood for some delicious pizza, look no further!

We stopped at James Angelo's Underground Pizza while visiting the Big Island and had the pepperoni…read morepizza, garlic knots, and a salad. Everything was outstanding. The pepperoni pizza was excellent. The crust had a great texture with a light crisp on the outside and just the right amount of chew. The sauce was flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and the pepperoni was generous and cooked perfectly. It tasted fresh and homemade from the first bite to the last. The garlic knots were fantastic. Soft, warm, and loaded with garlic flavor, they were easily some of the best we've had. The salad was fresh, crisp, and a great complement to the meal. What really stood out was James himself. You can immediately tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in his restaurant. He was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely interested in making sure guests had a great experience. It is refreshing to visit a place where the owner is so invested in both the food and the people walking through the door. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, and the entire experience felt personal rather than rushed. Places like this are becoming harder to find. One thing visitors should know is that the restaurant is cash only. That wasn't a problem for us, and there is an ATM available at a nearby gas station if needed. Just come prepared so you can focus on enjoying the food. This was one of our favorite meals during our time on the Big Island. Great food, great service, and a restaurant that clearly reflects the passion of its owner. We will definitely be back on a future visit.

We usually get pizza at least once during the week here. So I popped in and the owner was the only one there ( He had let his staff off due to the storm, seemed to be a very concerned employer for his staff) so he was closed as was most of the restaurants in town preparing for the wind and heavy rain. Anyway the owner was extremely polite and friendly and offered to make my pizza since he had his oven on . Kindness goes a very long way in this crazy world and this wonderful person made my day and week. If you have not tried this great place after this storm go, no run to your nearest Black Rock ( 2 locations on the big island). I couldn't thank him enough!!! Best pizza ever!!!

This place is in what I would call a complex with other businesses sharing a parking lot. Menu-wise, the Black Rock is simple. Just a bunch of good stuff! The pizza and rolls we ordered were fantastic. The dough wasn't just the perfect texture, but was also loaded with seasoning. And those rolls? Well, don't ask me to describe them while eating or you'll hear smacking. We dined in and at on the outdoor patio. Of course the weather was just perfect. So, if you want some great pizza - this is your place!

There is indoor and outdoor seating however no alcohol beverages outside so sat inside. We ordered a Garden Salad and Caprese Pizza. The salad was delivered first and the ingredients were fresh and the pizza arrived shortly after. The pizza crust was thin and crisp, the sauce has a zest to it, and although they ran out of basil, it was still a delicious pizza overall. The staff are friendly, the place is clean and the food hit the spot! I would definitely come back.

Hilo Pizza Company sells New-York style pizza comparable to the Big Apple itself using quality ingredients. Any of their choices look amazing, and if you're into a Hawaiian twist, they even offer Kalua pork as a topping option on their pizzas. Seeing as how we were going to be busy throughout the day, we opted for the lunch specials for our meal consisting of either 1 or 2 slices and a fountain drink over a whole 18" pie. Considering the location, it was an amazing deal that's hard to beat for a lunch out in town ($16 to feed two people!). For slices, the employee offered to make the slices either warm or crispy for those who like their pizza toppings and crust done a little more. Though the inside was beautiful and reminiscent of a pizza parlor in any modern city, we decided to enjoy the great weather with their outdoor seating. We loved this place and highly recommend it.

We went for our anniversary dinner and were so glad we decided to celebrate here. Very nice relaxed atmosphere, there are tables inside and out side on like a large open air lanai area with festival lights strewn across the ceiling and arches to view the sunset. Our server was Courtney who was very friendly and attentive. She made great recommendations! We tried everything she recommended. We started with a the Brussel Sprouts that were served in a cast iron skillet, crispy and tender with a balsamic glaze and the Caesar's Salad which was so fresh and coated with the perfect amount of dressing. We ordered the garlic Focaccia with melted cheese served with the most delicious marinara sauce for dipping. Then we ordered the Vodka Pasta with Shrimp, 4 large shrimps in a creamy tomato vodka sauce and house made fresh pasta. For dessert we had the Cannoli, the best Cannoli I ever had! The shell was crispy the filling was light, sweet and just delicious! Courtney gifted us the Cannoli for our anniversary and the entire staff signed an anniversary card for us. They also have a full bar and my husband was pleased with the whiskey selections and their reasonable prices. What an amazing dinner that delighted all of our senses. We will definitely have this place on our must go to list whenever we visit Hawaii Island.

We like coming for happy hour and dinner, but I'm very unhappy tonight. I believe that restaurant is out of control in adding unnecessary charges.
