Fun stop for great house-made pizzas and video games for everyone. The ramen is also good if you have a chance to try it! My favorite pizza is the FogHorn LegHorn pizza! read more

My favorite is the Pestopalian. Nice and friendly but you will need to wait awhile for your order. Best to place your order online. It's a fun place to bring the kids and hang out. They have video games and consoles at every booth. Family friendly establishment. read more

The pizza here is really good had the garlic knots and pizza. Would say it's as close to NYC pizza without having to go to NY. The ambiance is cool to games while you wait and a cool urban feel with the decor. Would definitely recommend if in the area and craving a good slice of pizza. read more

We need more places like this in Hilo! More so during the rainy season. Last minute birthday celebration and they had opening to accommodate us! We celebrated my daughter's birthday! Highly recommend reservations if 10 or more! Ordered pizzas, drinks and ramen for the Keoki's while both adults and kids enjoy all the game selections from early Nintendo days to Minecraft! We love this place and will be back! One suggestion they should have ramen on the menu more often!! read more

Very cool hangout spot to eat pizza and play some classic games. I very much enjoyed my margarita pizza aka Mario's House party. I was able to take leftovers home and was still delicious the next day. The server was super nice and kind of cool to see the guy making pizzas in the back. Also loved the guava drink, yum! There are some tables that have a game console to play while you wait, little tight though.. there was also a row of computers with games, and more seating in the back. This place was recommended by the people we stayed with - The owner is a huge Ripcity fan too!! read more

We placed a take out order and ended up having to wait more than 30 minutes longer than we should have because they had not even started making our food when we got there at pickup time (they were not busy). They also had not updated us and kept just telling us to wait. Then the food was terrible. The sauce for the pasta didn't have flavor and was just like sauce from the bottle- and not nearly enough on the noodles. The garlic bread knots barely had any garlic at all and was hard. The pizza was cold. I would never go here again and would not recommend. read more

Service was great, food was excellent. The star of the show was all the retro video games you could play. So fun. Highly recommend. read more

Stayed in Hilo for a few days. Decided to order pizza one night and choose the right place! We ordered take out, but next time we are eating there. They have lots of fun games to play. The pizza had soft yummy dough and plenty of toppings. The employees were super friendly! read more

We went in and were not acknowledged until decided to leave and go somewhere else... What we saw of the food did not inspire us anyhow. Also it seems to be more of a video game place that a restaurant. read more

Let me preface this by saying that the ambiance of this place was amazing and the vibes were there from the start. With that being said, I unfortunately just had one of, if not the worst dining experiences of my life. For starters, we sat at our table for 15 minutes and had to go up to the counter for them to even acknowledge that we were there (we were one of 2 tables there). Even then, we were never served any waters, and a waiter NEVER showed up to our table. I wish I could say I was rating this place on the lack of service but unfortunately the food is the reason for this 1 star review. The pizza was burnt to hell / flavorless, our salad had 2 pieces of store bought chicken on it and tasted like it was made at chucky cheese, and we had to go up to the counter twice and ask for dressing for our salad because it was never served with any. I was so excited to try this place out from all the positive reviews, but unfortunately I don't think I've ever been so disappointed as a foody. I've never ever left a bad review on any restaurant I've been too but it feels warranted after this place almost making a 23 year old man cry lol. read more

Antic's Pizza in Hilo is what happens when a Nintendo cartridge explodes inside a pizza joint--and I mean that in the best way possible. Spray-painted murals of your childhood heroes blast across the walls--Mario, Sonic, even the TMNT! It's an 80s/90s fever dream brought to life. Every booth comes wired with a SNES Mini, and there's a gaming corner with modern consoles if you're feeling competitive (or just need to body someone in COD before your slice arrives). It's the kind of place you duck into when the Hilo sun starts slapping too hard--grab a slice, relive some pixelated memories, maybe lose track of time for a bit. But here's the kicker: I'd come back even without the games. No gimmicks needed. The pizza is genuinely good--crispy crust, gooey cheese, and a vibe that makes you wanna hang around. And the crew? Super kind, super chill. The kind of staff that makes you feel like you've been going there for years. Antic's isn't just a pizza spot. It's a time machine with great marinara. read more

The Cheesy Karen - olive oil base with garlic, mozzarella, dollops of ricotta & pecorino romano. Got mine with bacon bits. Absolutely insane. Pizza always hits when it's from Antics. Beats any other pizza I have had on island. Fast service. Ambiance - Great music. Friendly workers. Overall excellent vibes. read more

Antics Pizza - Cheesy Karen OLIVE OIL BASE with bacon - Pizza Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

The exterior of this business is very unassuming. I've passed Antics Pizza many times over the past four years and have always thought I should give it a try. I finally had the opportunity to do so recently. Walking through the front door brought me to a room filled with video monitors and seats. All for gaming. There were 2 seat booths against the wall and a big wood picnic table in the center of the room. I looked around and discovered a second room. Lots more seating and a great room for a pizza party. Since I was at lunch from work I decided to order a slice of pizza from a very nice person behind the counter. I ordered a pepperoni slice and a bottled water. Sat down at a booth. The pizza was brought to me after it was piping hot from being put in the pizza oven. It was a nice sized slice with lots of pepperoni pieces on it. The red sauce was delicious. Seemed slightly sweet which I loved. I reviewed the menu and noticed quite a few delicious pizza options. I'm going to bring some friends here at some point to try different pizza's. I do wish they sold a sausage pizza by the slice and/or a nice Italian roast beef or meatball sandwich. I'm sure they would be delicious. The Good: Pizza was delicious. Service was friendly and the place was clean. The Bad: Parking can be challenging. Only street parking. Chances I'll be Back: YES! In fact i've been back twice. Can't wait to try other pizza options. read more

Antics Pizza - Pepperoni slice - Pizza Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Antics Pizza in Hilo is a neighborhood pizza joint that caters to gamers. The are numerous gaming screens inside that you can actually make reservations for. When we arrived it was explained to us that seating was a little limited because of previous reservations. We took the picnic table in the middle of the restaurant. The menu showed that the pizza here is reasonably priced and we were able to order a half and half. We ordered a half pepperoni and half a deluxe called the pandemic. The pizza was delicious, I love pizza from non franchises and this undid not disappoint. The pizza resembled New York style thin and crispy. Even the tip of each slice had a little crispiness to it. The sauce was not overwhelming and both sides of the half and half were devoured in short time. I now know where I can get good pizza in Hilo. read more

Great concept. Video games and pizza. Pizza was a little undercooked but overall decent. Ramen was good. Prices were good. Service was about average. Moderately crowded on a weekday evening. Small private parking lot in the back plus street parking. read more

Maybe we just came on a bad day, but when a group of 8 customers who intend to give your business money come in, perhaps don't ignore them?? Aside from some little kiddos playing Fortnite and Minecraft, we were the only people there and the server could barely even be bothered to bring water... after waiting to order for a very long time, we just left and spent nearly $500 elsewhere. Whoever was "working" that day just cost this business a nice chunk of money. Oh. And there's no beer or anything. :( read more

This review is based solely on the vibe of the place since our waitress forgot to put in our food order and we didn't get to eat:(. Super fun place! We played Street Fighter and enjoyed the atmosphere! read more

Pizza was alright. Garlic knots were seasoned with way too much thyme. It took 30-40 minutes for it to be made. On top of that we paid for mushrooms and there no mushrooms on our pizza. read more

Food, Service, Ambience was great. Even tho we couldn't wait for dine in seating ( 45 min wait )we ordered take out. You can see the patrons really enjoy being there. The employees ate very young, buy very enthusiastic, which shows that they really like what they're doing good there. read more

As someone whose tried New Haven pizza this is on the level if not better! Justin the owner is so welcoming and knowledgeable he told us that everything is made to order. The sauce and dough are his own recipe and there's vegan options as well as gluten free dough ! Simply lovely , do yourself a favor and stop by Antics pizza shop! Don't be put off by arcade vibe it's a top notch pizza joint ! Sorry no pics we got lost in the sauce :) read more

The pizza was so good, I've been in Hawaii ten days and this was my favorite place I ate so far! I'm originally from Chicago and the pizza reminded me of home. I HIGHLY recommend the Greek Ganja Pizza and the (marinara) house red sauce, it was amazing! And you get to play video games while you wait and eat, a lovely blast from the past. read more

Best on the island! Master Pig is amazing! Took Grand Son. His fav place. Fun had by all!

We drove by this place one day and made sure to stop by and check it out. This is a small, but amazing pizza place. The staff was super friendly and patient. Having the games to play while waiting for our food was awesome. The menu states that there are "NO" substitutions on specialty pizzas so we went with the gluten free BBQ chicken (Ruby Red's Round House) and we had the Fortnite (build your own pizza). If you want to add or take sometime out of what is listed on a "specialty pizza", the simplest solution is to order the Fortnite to your specifications; problem solved! Now, they don't have fountain drinks; everything is bottled. That didn't bother us, but if you are expecting free bottomless refills on fountain drinks you just simply are not going to get it here. The pizza was simply amazing! Is hard to find any restaurant that has gluten free pizza options and even harder to find one that has amazing options such as this one. I simply have not had such a tasty gluten free pizza in a very long time! Now, yes there is a risk of cross contamination in a pizza restaurant but I did not have any side effects that would have suggested that it was cross contaminated. I would have known within the first 5 minutes. Thankfully this risk was totally worth it and it worked out in my favor Overall, if we are ever back in Hilo this will definitely be a spot to hit up again. read more

Great pizza! The dough reminds me of NYC pizza. Love the selection of video games at your table. You can choose which console you want and you can play while you're waiting or while you eat. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Very family and group friendly. They take reservations and walk ins. I've walked in each time and they were able to accommodate immediately. The decor is perfect for the theme and I wish they had a place like this on Oahu. Highly recommend! read more

I've been wanting to try Antics for a really long time now, and I finally got to try it! I think they're a pizza shop/video game arcade, and I also saw they have a ramen shop. We called in our order about 20 minutes before pick up, and I got dropped off along Kinoole St. I'm not sure if they have a designated parking lot, and there wasn't much street parking around lunch time. I ordered the pestopalian pizza. It was a thin crust pizza with pesto sauce, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, cheese, and spinach. Pizza well done! Next time, I'll need to try their garlic bread. The workers were also friendly. I'll definitely be back to try their different pizzas. read more

There is a serious lacking in Internet cafes and game zones around here. So then, Antics to the rescue. Local kids already love and haunt this place. Mom & dad points. Came for the games, stayed for the pizza. Thank you for working on that crust ;). Pizzas are better than great. Top of the game in Hilo and finally an epic alternative to the chains. Garlic knots surprised me. Everything is really very yummy. Naruto Ramen now too!! So much fun. And vegan options for both pizza & ramen, so it's a place for everybody. Family night is where it's at, or for the kidless adults, think date night. read more

Antics Pizza was a real crowd pleaser! We had a group of 7 that included a teenager and two vegans--everyone left full and happy. We arrived hungry and tired after a long day of back to back excursions that caused us to skip lunch. The staff was so helpful in accommodating our group and getting us seated right away. The teenager was well-occupied by the video games while waiting for the food to arrive. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered garlic knots to start. The staff was also able to make a vegan order of garlic knots with olive oil instead of butter. I was super impressed and delighted with this accommodation. Between the group, we ordered a 16" and two 14" pies and all except a couple of slices of one of the 14" pies were devoured. I had the Pokeball pizza and loved it! read more

This restaurant is next level! The food is amazing, we have a large pepperoni (16 inches) garlic Knots, and the cinnamon and sugar bites.

Grabbed cheese and pepperoni slices along with a pasta bake. Food was very meh... There's a ton of cheese on everything, but it's the low quality stuff with weird texture. There was very little tomato sauce with minimal flavor. Pasta was mushy. The people working there were super nice, and the video game setups were very cool, distracting our kids while our food got heated up. read more
