    Sumo pizza - yum!
    Gail U.

    1-25-26 Last night, phone ordered dinner from the airport as our flight from Lihue back to Honolulu was delayed. 20 minutes quoted for a Sumo pizza. I was told only 7 inch since ran out of the 12 inch size. Sure, that's fine. I'd like to order dessert please. The female voice told me what was available and once I heard we have a new one, coconut mochi. I was sold. The 7 inch size was loaded with all the wonderful ingredients of a Sumo pizza, good for one person/ like a personal pan pizza size. Tried the coconut mochi this morning. Probably the first time I didn't immediately devour a dessert. The slice comes in a clear plastic container. I cut it in half to share and marveled at the nice crust edge. The flavor was indeed like a homemade butter mochi made with love. So if you are near the airport, across from Dunkin' Donuts, enter the armed gate. You might enjoy their various pizzas but if you LOVE butter mochi, try it here - very good!

    Sumo

    Been years since I've been here. It was one of my favorite lunch places when I was working. Same clean surf stuff decor. Sometimes old familiar is good. Cute happy girl at the counter was very good. I ordered a Sumo pizza. I figured as much stuff on it as possible. It came out when a pizza should. I burned the top of my mouth because I didn't want to wait to taste it. ONO.

    Looking for something different from the usual big chains like Pizza Hut or Papa John's? Big Kahuna Pizza by the airport is worth a try. They've been serving up their pies for years, and they've got some fun specialty options you won't find anywhere else. Just a heads-up: their pizzas run a bit smaller than the typical "large" from the other guys, but the flavor makes up for it. You might want to grab a few of their famous garlic cheese balls. They come in a 6 or 12 pack, and honestly, the 12 is the way to go since most people end up eating more than one. Guilty as charged!

    Sumo Special love all there pizza and Garlic Cheese Balls (7)

    Great pizza I go there all the time I fly in and out Great service and everyone is Ohana

    I can just taste the Paisano pizza toppings as I look at the photos. There is absolutely NOTHING bad about Big Kahuna's! Fresh ingredients assembled by the finest pizza makers in the state, reflects in the flavor of the finished product. A friend orders the sandwiches and said they are also very good. Two sizes depending on your appetite. Usually really busy at lunch sometimes not making any more pizzas bc they sold out, but still do sandwiches and famous cheeseballs. These delectable buttery, cheesy balls are soft and fluffy. Once paired w marinara sauce, it's game over. No sharing! Get your own!! Lots of stalls in the gated parking lot. Take a ticket and get it validated. Restaurant is not very spacious inside, however, there are several places to sit and eat. Thank you, Grubhub for offering delivery!

    Big Kahuna's Pizza located on Paiea St near the airport. Love their Pizzas . The crust makes it cravable. Oh and the Garlic Cheese Balls are to die for . Wonderful baked pillows of dough topped with lots of garlic and ooey gooey cheesy goodness. We had the Barbecue Chicken and Pepperoni 6" pizzas as well. Everything was amazingly delicious . Service was great. Nice casual dining room decorated with nostalgic memories.

    Sumo pizza is the thing to get! I took off the pepperoni and olives so I could taste the pork underneath it and it was delicious!

    I used to love this place so much but I haven't been in years. Was in the area so I was so excited to eat it again. Honestly, it was just ok. Not bad but wasn't as good as I remembered it being. I was most excited for the garlic cheese balls. They didn't have as much flavor as they did before. I feel like it used to be almost too garlicky but now it's kinda bland. Pizza also is kinda bland even though they put a lot of sauce. Not a lot of toppings (see picture) pork was a little light. I would come back to try something else like a sandwich but I would not get the same pizza or the garlic cheese balls again. Service was fine, not very friendly but quick considering they make the food fresh, around 20 min.

    Chorizo pizza
    Roxanne Aguon B.

    Haven't been here in a very long time. Lucky for me, my kids picked me up from the airport and came straight here for dinner. First time I had to eat were their garlic cheese balls. Delicious just as I remembered. The kids ordered two kinds of pizza: the chorizo one and a sweet chicken one. Both tasted good because you can't beat homemade pizzas but I'm more of a spicy girl so the chorizo one was the winnah! Best welcome home dinner yet!

    The worst pizza place. They don't honor their promotion.

    Tiny overpriced Pizza. And they don't honor their advertised promotion. There's so many better pizza places nearby

    12" Sumo Special
    John D.

    With so much good local cuisine who comes to HI to eat Pizza? Apparently we do. With the number of reviews and ratings we couldn't resist. It's small, 6 tables with a long wait time. About 25 mins for our 12" Sumo Special. We were told up front there was a wait. In reality it only took 15 mins for our hot, messy & gooey pizza to arrive. No complaints, it was ridiculously delicious. The thin crust was completely covered with ingredients( too many to list) The only reason we saw cheese is because it was on top. I was a little skeptical about the $26 price tag on a 12" pie. That ended at the 1st bite. I've been eating pizza for more years and in multiple countries than I'd like to admit to. This was, by far, the best pizza I've ever eaten. I don't rave about much, these guys earned it. If you're reading this review you're looking for great pizza. Look no further, this is it. They also support our armed forces. If you're military or veteran bring proof for a small discount.

    Da California Club Sandwich , Garlic Cheese Balls (7)

    Food was OK. The customer service sucks. The girl that works in the back has horrible customer service would I come back mmm maybe.. I had the California club. It tasted OK.

    Roz A.

    I been coming here since they first open & I must say, it gets better & better with taste. The "white" pizza is BOMB! As for their chicken wings & garlic balls, to die for. I would eat here everyday if only I live closer...

    Made a quick stop to buy a quick meal before heading over to the airport…read more Just like their slogan: Fast, Fresh and Friendly. I'm amazed how fast they were when making sandwiches for me and my parents. The workers were attentive and swift. There was an assembly line of them making the sandwiches in house. It was towards the end of the day so they ran out of most of their choice's of bread , tomato, and sprouts (complimentary toppings) which is no biggie. Ordered three "Vinny" which is like an Italian sandwich with wheat bread (which all they had that night) my choice of seasonings, oil and red onions. It was well made sandwich wrapped nicely, no spills since I had some oils, however I prefer to try that sandwich with a different bread next time and wish there was a little more protein. Inside the shop, was very clean, but bright like being in a yellow blue submarine that's trying to be tropical. Overall, it's a friendly atmosphere with the walls giving "military on tropical island vibes" lol I mean it is near base and they do have some variety of vickies and utz chips at the front of store. Will be back next time to try other options.

    This was my first time here at the new store in Kapolei…read more When I walked in I was Instructed by the cashier that he was going to read me the menu. AAHH, ok. I can read but what ever! Then i was told by the 'sandwich maker' even before i ordered that I could not watch her make my sandwich because 'This is NOT Subway'. Weird, but AAHH, ok... so I ordered a sandwich with extra mayo. The sandwich maker is making my sandwich, even tho I was told 'not to watch, I can see her, she's scraping off the mayo, so I asked nicely if I could have extra mayo. She tells me, loudly that I need to order what I want at the register! The cashier then tells her, she did, she ordered extra mayo, no lettuce. I guess if you don't order EXACTLY the way THEY want you too they get offended and yell at you!!! I asked the cashier how long they've been open. He said 3 months. In my opinion that's way long enough to have your act together !!! There's No ALOHA at this location! Yes I walked out and went to Subway where everyone is happy to have your business! I rate this place at ZERO STARS!

My son had the pot roast loco, um gravy smelled like peanut butter, my son said tasted weird.

As soon as I opened the box, I was impressed by how generously stuffed the sandwich was with tuna, along with the large portion of chips on the side. The tuna melt was delicious, a flavorful tuna salad packed with pickles (I love pickles), served on perfectly toasted bread. Every bite was satisfying. The chips tasted fresh and homemade, and I even used some of the tuna that fell out of the sandwich as a dip for the chips, which was yummy! The staff was friendly, and I appreciated how easy it was to place an order by phone and pick it up without any hassle. Parking was also a breeze, plenty of stalls available next to the building, so there was no need to worry about finding parking. Overall, Leilei's is definitely a treat yourself type of meal.

I remember seeing French Dip on the menu back then so that's what I ordered for myself with a side order of fries. My husband ordered the Teriyaki Pineapple Burger with a side order of fries. We also ordered the chips and Fresh Clam Chowder to share. My thoughts: - French Dip on a French roll with truffle aioli, London broil roast beef, picante provolone, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and au jus: I enjoyed this! Lots of meat and the bun was soft which is how I like it. When I brought it home and opened the au jus container, I thought they didn't give enough BUT it was...whew! Since I ordered a lot of food, I could only eat half a sandwich...tomorrow's lunch. Yay! - Teri Burger with house made Patty, a pineapple ring with teri sauce, mayo, red onion and romaine lettuce on the side: My husband was skeptical about the pineapple but said it worked and would definitely order this again. - Both the fries and chips were a little too burnt and oily for us so we'd pass on this the next time. - Clam chowder: I was looking forward to this with the bread bowl but they no longer sell it with the bread. They said the bread they could get was too small that there wouldn't be much soup. I ordered the soup anyway. It was thick with lots of clams, bacon and potatoes...very tasty! We ate only half so another leftover for tomorrow...yay again! FYI: - Located on the corner of Mokauea Street and Hau Street - They have about 5 reserved parking stalls in front of the gray bldg on the Hau Street side - Offers Military and First Responder discounts - Charges 3.5% fee for credit card payment - Clam chowder available Thursday thru Saturday or until sold out - Condiments located in the small black refrigerator located on the right of the food truck I want to try their smash burger so I'll be back!
