    8" Pesto Chicken

    We came back for another visit and now one of our go-to spots. We've been here multiple times, and every experience has been consistently great. The pizza is so delicious and love that there are so many yummy topping options to choose from! The sides are just as good! Definitely a solid pizza spot, and we'll definitely return when in the area.

    Food was hot and tasty. We got one local boy medium, the lunch special (served until 4:00 pm), and the garlic butter breadsticks. It was a bit of a wait until the food came but tasted very fresh, so it was to be expected. The ambiance was great and you should request to be seated outside if available. Overall, a great experience.

    I don't really eat pizza but this place was just so so good!! What sold me was that they offered Vegan cheese! For all my lactose people, come here! The best pizza I've had in a while!

    My husband and I love pizza, so on our last night on the Big Island we decided to grab pizza before our manta ray night swim. We ordered one small pizza to go and were happy to see how many options they had. Unfortunately for us, a lot of them included pork, which we don't eat. Still, I picked one pizza I was really curious about, and I was pleasantly surprised when they had no problem swapping pepperoni for chicken. That flexibility is always appreciated, and it never felt like we were limited just because we don't eat pork. We didn't dine in, but I noticed they have a really interesting cocktail menu, which fits the island vibe perfectly! To be honest, my husband wasn't expecting much, pizza isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for, right? That's what we assumed. But wow, we were wrong. About 40 minutes later, back at our hotel (after a shower and everything), we finally sat down to eat, and the pizza was still amazing. Crunchy crust, great texture, and full, balanced flavors. We're no longer on vacation, but we still talk about this place and easily rank it in our top three food spots from our Big Island trip, which says a lot, because we're serious about pizza. If we ever come back to Hawaii (and I believe they have locations on other islands too), we will 100% be getting pizza from here again. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're visiting Hawaii

    Not so Hawaiian pizza, specialty pizza
    James Q.

    We were very hungry and saw great reviews on this pizza place so we stopped by. The restaurant has great ocean view outside, and seems pretty clean. Server is friendly. We ordered a small loco moco pizza, and made a half and half pizza with not so Hawaiian and another specialty with the same spicy marinara sauce, forgot the name. Loco moco pizza is good, with running yolk fried egg on top. Not so Hawaiian and the other one is good but not impressive. I remember the not so Hawaiian being cheesy, which is a plus. Best dish is the short rib roll with beef au jus, loved it! It's a nice pizza place if you want pizza on your way, would stop by if I want some pizza again.

    We were lucky enough to make it back to Hawaii and to black rock pizza. So it wasn't the bike ride that made us think this was a 5. It is definitely a gem. Home made sauces--delicious, we had a pesto ranch dressing, i don't think I've had that combo anywhere before Fresh salad Pesto roll appetizer--think, bite size calzone with pesto instead of red sauce stuffed with chicken, bacon, spinach, mozzarella. With pepperoni on the bottom. Yummy! 3 pizzas, all great. Nice selection of drafts Friendly and super helpful wait staff Amazing view And friendly cats on the patio!

    BBQ Pork with pineapple slaw za'co
    Jennifer N.

    FOOD - Medium custom pizza: half cheese, half pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeños. The pizza was really good. 4.5/5 - BBQ Pork with Pineapple Slaw Za'co: mango BBQ pork, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and pineapple coconut slaw. Good flavor but the "bread" got soggy which also made it messy. It would have been a lot better if it was crispier. 4/5 SERVICE: The service was really good. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would definitely come back. Everything was good and the price was fair. I recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Hoi Boi

    We love eating at Black Rock Pizza when we come to the Big Island. The Hoi Boi is my personal favorite. Family loves a standard pepperoni pizza. My picky kids even eat the crust and say it tastes like breadsticks

    Heard about this spot from a local friend. Told me to get the ribeye cheesesteak. And boy was he right! That thing was so awesome! Crispy edges and lot of flavor. We ordered the pepperoni rolls and Jalapeno balls to go along with it. All solid choices. The server was a great help in explaining what we were looking at as well. They had a good amount of beers on tap to choose from. And I really liked the outdoor seating. It was cloudy and felt good out there. So if you're looking for some good pizza, this is the spot.

    Parking can be tight but if you don't go during peak hours it should be okay. It's a small lot. They've got some great signs lining the walls that I wish I could have at home myself too! You can mix pizzas if you order a medium or up, so I tried the kanak attack and local boy with BBQ glaze on top. It was loaded! Was able to eat most of it but took a few slices home for lunch the next day. The service was friendly, and the pizza was ono! Very pleasantly surprised to have this place in my neighborhood.

    Out and about we dropped into Black Rock Pizza (Capt. Cook location) for lunch. Great location, customer service (thank you Kimberly), and food. Ordered a meat lovers personal pan pizza and Golden Sabbath Belgian Ale. Very good from start to finish.

    half of our Loco Moco pizza...
    Kelly J.

    Start salivating as you walk in.. this pizza is so delicious and off the wall! and the cats are cool too that hang with you as you sit and enjoy the view and a cold beverage. We tried the Loco Moco Pizza and were not disappointed. What a way to change up a local fave! and the Pesto Pepperoni roll apps were scrumptious!! It's a must stop in Captain Cook.

This is another one of my YELP Bucket List places. 2 down 348 to go. We were heading to Captain Cook and then Volcano Village. On the way to a place to eat that after arrival, didn't look as good as we had hoped but I did notice a sign for Lau Lau. After pulling in and getting out of the car, the smell of home hits you. The whole place, inside and out isn't touristy at all but dang do they know where good food is. There are benches to sit on outside but not really outside seating. Although for this food I would eat next to the road with traffic driving by. I wouldn't care as long as the food was available. There are 2 big live edg tables inside. You have to sit like family. We met a couple from Utah. My Wife had the pork and cabbage. I chose the Lau Lau with 2 sides of Mac salad. The Auntie that brought out our food was exactly like my Auntie, just smaller. She was sweet to let me know about my food. She asked if I had it before. I said yes and she welcomed me back. Everything was amazing. I may have had a tear in my eye when I smelled my food. I immediately thought of my Grandma White. She was a great cook. We are already planning on coming back. The bill was 35.00. I bought a Poke plate a couple days ago that was 50 bucks so this was a great deal. We tipped $15.00 on 35. They tried to say it was too much and take some drinks to go. We said no, it was worth it.

We ordered a plate, which had garlic bread, salmon/tomato (I forgot the name), the pork wrapped in leaves, and the squid luau?

Honestly, I only really liked the garlic bread and the salmon/tomato the best LOL the garlic bread was crispy, nice and fragrant. The tomato with salmon was quite refreshing! Although the pork was kinda dry and the squid luau was very... interesting. I think the texture of the squid luau throws me off, which it was kinda too mushy for my taste. My friend, who had tried traditional Hawaiian food, did mention that this meal overall was just okay, she had better ones at other places. So this may not be my cup of tea, but she enjoys it haha. The vibe here is pretty great nevertheless! Located right by the ocean too.
