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.

Easy parking and wonderful Hawi town. Plenty of seats inside and out. Nice people there and a good crowd of regulars. 20 and 30 somethings. It was a lot of fun. Well worth the trip from the Westin. Five stars all the way we had a good time, we drove up to the statue and then on the way back down the street We stopped at the market and bought some fruits to throw in the fridge at the hotel. You'll never find a scenic drive like this anywhere else you're kind of up in the mountains way north Hawaii Island, but the sea is everywhere and beautiful.

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.

Darcy took great care of us and suggested we order family style so we could try a bunch of different dishes. She also said she would time each dish that was ordered. Great suggestion, delivering food in waves, so we weren't overwhelmed and could actually enjoy each dish without rushing. They surprised my friends with complimentary birthday desserts, which was a really nice touch. The house-made cannoli was definitely the standout as we all agreed. Yumm. Good food, great service, and a nice spot to celebrate a special occasion. I'd definitely come back again.

It's an order at the counter spot, sometimes there's a wait - for best pizza in town. You came here for a little slower pace than the mainland, chill out & wait for it, do some deep breathing or go check out Uila Records, next door. Sometimes they are jamming busy and focused - don't expect them to be sugar sweet - customer always right. Expect really good pizza with really good ingredients and work out your need for them to be really really nice to you in therapy ;)

It was so good, we planned to come back tomorrow but they're closed Sundays so we're coming back Monday. The crust was lightly baked and pillowy. It's one of those pizzas where you'll eat the entire slice, crust and all. The pizza had the perfect amount of cheese and sauce and the flavor and saltiness was perfect. When you pick up the slice and fold it to eat, it doesn't droop. I will say this though, if you take the pie home, it will probably steam and get soggy with how thin the pizza is. Eat it fresh if you can and you'll have one of the best pizzas of your life. The best thing is the person who took our order was so friendly and had the pizza ready when promised. We'll be back!

I asked for water twice before getting a refill, and while I could understand delays when it's busy - it was not - we were the only occupied table in that whole room. So unsatisfactory on all levels.

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
