My girlfriends and I recently dined at Marlow and we were thoroughly impressed by the experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish--attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was incredibly tranquil, making it a perfect spot for an enjoyable meal. Food was 5 stars! I wanted to specifically call out a special shoutout to the the Funghi pie which prior have heard the rave about this pie from friends prior to going already! It delivered. Appreciate Marlow's menu overall showing a dedication to featuring local ingredients such as the lapa'au farms oyster mushrooms on this pie. Had a nice selection of wines as well to choose from. Highly recommend Marlow for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience on Maui. I'll definitely be returning! Great romantic date night spot or ladies get-together. read more

Food was excellent. Service was just plain rude. The couple in front of us was waiting when we got there and they made them wait for about 10 minutes after we arrived despite having a lot of open tables and sat them at a table that was open when we got there- essentially making them wait for no reason it would appear. We actually asked if they were closing or something as the entire staff seemed to be intentionally just ignoring them (and us after we arrived). After they finally got seated we stood there for another five minutes (and no one else came in or was waiting) before anyone ever asked us how many in our party and then told us it would be another five minute wait - only to seat us at the table we had been standing next to the entire time since we walked in. They were only half full for lunch and seemed pretty slow so no idea why they treated people so unwelcomingly. They almost seemed annoyed that we were there. The food was fantastic but no smiles and no friendliness and we noticed it was the same for other tables. Our thoughts are they dislike tourists so maybe this is a local only place to go was our thought. We just wanted a nice lunch and this place had snooty service that really was pretentious for waitresses walking around in jeans and birkenstocks. Food five stars, service no stars! read more

Best meatball I've ever had! If it were socially acceptable to lick the bowl, I would have! Also had the braised Spanish octopus salad which was balanced, hearty, and seemed almost bottomless! So good. Service was great. Upscale food in an inviting, comfortable environment. A must-visit restaurant especially if you've just finished your adventure at Haleakala. read more

Marlows is such a gorgeous spot upcountry with such great coffee and absolutely first rate food. I can walk from my house and I'm so grateful to have such a quality spot so nearby. Craft cocktails, a proper chopped salad available both lunch and dinner and such lovely food. Staff is wonderful, too. Great place to get hostess gifts etc. Check it out. Sat morning followed by farmers market which is right there is a treat. You gotta go! read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch during the week. Their cocktails looked delicious but we stuck to their iced tea. They had two options and both were delicious! Our group started with the meatballs. These meatballs were amazing. They were light and airy but packed with so much flavor. The sauce was just perfect. We decided to split two pies the calabrese and the braised pork. Just wow. These pies were amazing flavor bombs. The braised pork was so balanced with the spicy sauce and the lilikoi butter. The crust was super thin and crispy. Service was friendly and attentive. They helped us get out quick when we realized we were running short to get to our next stop. Wish we could have had more meals at Marlow but we will be back! read more

Every time I come to Marlow's, I'm reminded why it's one of my favorite spots upcountry. The food & coffee is consistently amazing. But what really makes the experience special is the team. Lauren and Kira went above and beyond on our last visit. They're friendly, attentive, and genuine care really stood out, which is rare to find these days. If you're on Maui and haven't been to Marlow's yet, make the drive to Kula. Between the incredible food, beautiful atmosphere, and staff it is well worth it! read more

I just had to share this to warn others. I've been a loyal customer at Marlow, but yesterday was a perfect example of a business that doesn't value its customers. Normally, I try to arrive by 1pm, but we got there around 1:20pm. They advertise that they're open until 2pm. The restaurant was maybe a third full, and people were still getting their food. We waited a few minutes at the "Please Wait to Be Seated" stand, but no one acknowledged us. Someone in line told us to put our names in at the counter. There was one couple waiting ahead of us. When we went to the counter, we were told they had to check with the server to see if she wanted to seat us. After a few minutes, the girl at the counter said, "So we won't be able to seat you." I explained that we drove all the way up the hill to eat there. Her response? "Oh, sorry about that." We left the restaurant at 1:30pm. Another couple behind us was also turned away and seemed very upset, commenting on how poor the business practice was. This isn't the first time I've experienced this. Another lunch visit, as we were finishing lunch and someone in my party tried to order a pizza to go at 1:55pm while the restaurant was still busy. The waitress said no -- the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Are you really open until 2pm, or not? If not, update your website. Turning away paying customers when the room is more than half empty is never a good business practice. I no longer feel comfortable recommending Marlow to friends. It's a trek to get there from the west side of the island.. only to be brushed off like a crumb on the table. Do better Marlow! If you can't accommodate customers at least be responsible about it and not shoo us away like you would a fly. read more

Marlow serves up incredible Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza that's cooked to perfection in a brick oven. We ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza, and both were outstanding. The crust had that signature sourdough tang with a light, airy texture and a beautifully charred edge from the oven. It was crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside--exactly what you want from a well-made Neapolitan pie. The ingredients were clearly top quality--fresh, wholesome, and full of natural flavor. The tomato sauce was bright and simple, the cheese was rich and creamy without being heavy, and the pepperoni had just the right balance of spice and crisp. Nothing felt processed or overly greasy--just clean, honest pizza made with care. If you appreciate handcrafted, brick oven pizza, Marlow is absolutely worth a visit. read more

The whole experience on July 26th was fantastic and celebratory. We really splurged and had such a great time! For this meal, we opted NOT to get pizza, but instead assorted OTHER items, which come in the way of a tapas-sort-of-menu... small enough to try many, but plenty enough to share. Warmed olives, Kampachi collar, Tako Salad, blistered Shishito peppers..... a side of smashed potatoes, a flat-iron steak..... rounded out our savory dishes. Everything is SO FRESH and delicious! The stand out to me was the TRUMPET MUSHROOM PUREE that bedded the Kampachi collar. Such incredible taste and texture. Everything comes with fresh greens. Lots of olives, tomatoes on everything... all really wonderful and uber fresh. BUT DESSERT, specifically the Panna Cotta, with its cardamon granola, and the Olive Oil ice cream were absolutely TO DIE FOR. I am not even a dessert person but man oh man, were these items fantastic. This experience has changed my outlook on Marlow. Because of their impeccable execution and use of farm fresh and sourced local ingredients, I left walking on air, happily surprised by another recent turn-of-events at establishments I had given up on. My theory is, eat in the restaurant. Too much is compromised with take-out. MAHALO! read more

We had a great evening at Marlow!! I was a beautiful space with friendly and attentive staff. We celebrated my daughter's birthday and multiple staff said happy birthday and made her feel like the star of the show. The food was excellent- the pizzas were delicious and the appetizers were awesome too. I highly recommend Marlow! Definitely worth the drive to upcountry for the experience!! read more

After spending the morning at Haleakalā National Park, we decided to have some drinks and lunch at Mahalo Aleworks. They have a food truck on site, but they also allow you to bring in food from Marlow, which is right next-door. We opted to order a pizza and focaccia bread from Marlow. It was very easy to order. You just placed the order online, and then they send you a text when it's ready to pick up. Then you go next-door to pick it up. Marlow is a super cute restaurant. I would have loved to eat inside! They also have a little gift shop, section with local items, which was fun to look at. I really wanted to order the white pizzas that I saw on the menu, but my husband is a red sauce guy, so we shared a pepperoni pizza. It was good, but I know I would've loved the white pizzas and I regret not trying one! read more

Marlow - Cafes Near Me - Makawao, Hawaii

All these reviews are totally misleading. We saw on Yelp and Google these beautiful images of authentic pizza dough perfectly charred in an open wood oven pizza but that's not what we experienced. I believe they changed their dough recipe since the photos I saw of other customers or the settings of their oven was completely off. The dough was hard like a cardboard, no flavor, no texture, doesn't bend but break. Service was also mediocre. We enjoyed the drive there but do not recommend the place and we won't be visiting again. read more

Great food. Great ambiance. First time we went even the servers were great. Recommend the meatballs, beets salad, all of the pizza we tried were solid. Can't go wrong with any of them. The second time we went on V-day, the server didn't seem very happy to be there. She did her thing then tried to have us put it the highest tip. We would go again though. read more

After our super fun tour at Maui Alpaca, we had lunch at Marlow - a restaurant serving sourdough, Neapolitan style pizza in Pukalani, upcountry Maui. The restaurant is locally owned and named after the Chef/owner's youngest with his wife/co-owner of Marlow. The pizza pies are baked in Marlow's kiawe wood burning oven from Italy giving the pizzas the authentic charred crispy bottom with an airy and chewy crust. We ordered the coppa, a white pie, and the pepperoni. Both pizzas were incredible, but we especially loved the ciopinno with its plentiful Kauai prawns, kanpachi, and tako. The restaurant is bright and spacious and the service was friendly and great. Our experience was so wonderful, we returned for dinner and I have been recommending the restaurant to anyone headed to Maui. read more

Take out with a beer next door is a perfect match. The wood fired pizza was very traditional. The crust was amazing but not overwhelming the sausage, mushrooms, red sauce and garlic. While it was take out, inside was bright, clean, modern, and as delicious as the pizza. Great service when ordering and picking up after the text announcing the food was ready. We will probably eat in in next time. read more

Everything is good here. Wait staff is super friendly and great space to be in. Salsiccia pizza, prawns, salad with buttermilk dressing are all standouts. Of course the olive oil gelatos delicious read more

What an amazing experience from start to finish! We sat at the counter to watch the artistry in the kitchen. Our servers were incredibly friendly. Their meatball is so perfectly cooked and flavorful, with great sauce. The chopped salad pairs with it nicely, and our martinis were well made as well. We then moved to a heavenly pasta special, along with a delicious prosciutto and pomegranate white pizza and a perfectly cooked local fish. I would return in a heartbeat. read more

I have probably eaten here 30 times since they started and it consistently gets better and better. When they first opened, I thought their dough was a little too sour, but I think they tweaked the recipe and it is dialed in at this point. It is a little pricey for upcountry Maui, but the vibe is so good, you feel like you're in Brooklyn or Santa Monica or somewhere other than Kula. The salads are excellent, the pizzas are great, the entrées always impress, and my favorite dish are the meatballs which are a meal in and of themselves. Service is generally quite good, occasionally they got a little slammed or they are understaffed, but you can tell there is a strong team atmosphere and people I know who work there love the job and the owner. read more

Marlow is consisterly really good. We are obsessed with the pistachio Gelato with the olive oil honey drizzle. Their pasta and pizzas are really good as well. The ambiance is cozy and rustic and is the perfect spot for a date night or dinner with friends. The quality of the ingredients are amazing, and always served fresh. The staff is attentive and friendly as well. read more

All you need to know - best pizza on Maui! My family has been coming here once a year for the past few years and we all agreed Marlow's is the new winner. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed three of their pizzas. I'd vote 1. Salsiccia 2. Braised Pork 3. Margherita. The sausage on 1 is super, and I mean SUPER, flavorful. This with the caramelized onions was the table favorite. read more

This was by for our favorite place we ate during our trip to Maui. The service, the food, and the price were all the best we had on the island. Our only regret was we waited to come here till the last night. Will def be back again next time. Thank you!!!! read more

Really good food. We had the steak, meatballs, Marguerite pizza, octopus salad, and olive oil gelato for dessert. The steak was the perfect temperature with good flavor and tenderness. The meatballs and sauce were really good. Great texture and taste with really nice tomatoey sauce. The octopus was very nicely charred. The salad might have been a little overdressed or maybe sat in the dressing too long. The pizza was really nice, fresh and tasty ingredients with a nice crunchy and chewy crust. The gelato had good flavor but the consistency was a little off for me. I especially like gelato which is gooey and thick. This was a little icy. Overall, very good meal. read more

This place is located in the area we would not normally go when we visited Maui. The ambiance is hip and trendy that reminds me of places in Mission in San Francisco. The service is extremely friendly and super helpful on any request you may have. We went with our baby and they are super accommodating and helped us to set up the table worked the best for family with baby. We also saw lots of families with young babies and kids there. The food is hitting the spot as far as pizzas and meatballs go. The pizzas are thin crust with fresh ingredients. Both sausage and braised pork pizzas taste phenomenal. The flavors are different and both are delicious. Octopus salad came with lots of octopus! And most importantly it was not over cooked! Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly with both flavors and presentation. Will definitely come back! read more

Stopped by this local gem based on the reviews. Marlow's did not disappoint. We split a chopped salad and the Margherita pizza with added local mushrooms. Pricey but excellent quality. We ate every bite and it was delicious. Service was excellent also. Cute little strip mall also housed a brew house which looked interesting. I will say the Marlow vibe seemed better suited to lunchtime. Not really a dinner destination unless you want something super casual, but definitely consider takeout for dinner! read more

Where do I begin?? They were busy at 8:15 on a Saturday night but they were still able to seat us at the bar. I love the open kitchen because it's fun to watch our food being prepped right in front of our eyes and helps pass time if need be. Staff was friendly, we had Autumn as our server and she had amazing recommendations! The bartender made great conversation as well, and took care of us when needed. We started with the chopped salad which was absolutely amazingggg, I loved the lemon vinaigrette dressing and how you could tell everything was so fresh!! The portion sizes were perfect to share, gnocchi was huge and delicious! The highlight for me personally was the prosciutto white pie, sooo damn good cause I'm a truffle lover. We also sampled the ciopinno but that was underwhelming compared to the rest of our dishes - I so wanted it to be the cherry on top for us but it's okay, the rest made up for it! Dont skip over dessert, the sorbets are to die for - My favorite was the pistachio and olive oil with the honey & bee pollen on top- seriously a party in my mouth. Loved the atmosphere and the how clean the back of house staff was. Service was extremely quick and attentive. It was a great first time experience for me and I'm sure I'll be craving them again soon! read more

Marlow - Meatballs. Awesome. - Cafes Near Me - Makawao, Hawaii

Would give 4.5 stars if possible. The place has a nice vibe. Even at 8pm, the outdoor area was unfortunately full (would've been about 30 min wait). It's upcountry/inland, and seemed like people there were not tourists. The pizzas came out piping hot. The Margherita pizza was one of the best we've ever had. Thin, crisp, sunburnt, and very flavorful. I think the sauce was the star, it had a lot of flavor. The Funghi pizza was also really good but wasn't as flavorful as the Margherita, and not as crisp due to all the toppings. They used a unique sort of mushroom which was nice, just could've used less cheese or different type of cheese perhaps. Glad we tried the olive oil gelato, it was unlike anything we've tried before. Technically it wasn't a gelato, but a very very smooth/creamy ice cream. You can't really taste the olive oil in the ice cream itself, it's more of a fior di latte with additional subtle flavors. We got the toppings on the side and drizzled on the plate, which was good. The fennel pollen was so unique and added a really nice flavor. The coarse salt though is just quite unnecessary and some bites had too much. But it was great and would definitely have it again, along with a couple Margherita pizzas! read more

Very disappointed with their customer service. We are loyal repeat customers from upcountry. Yesterday 11/25/25 my friend from Kahana drove to meet me for lunch at Marlow at 1:15 and we were told they only have one server and sorry they couldn't accommodate us and the people that came after us. All of us were not pleased. Either your business is open and do your best or offer take out or show some effort to show your appreciation for our business or put up a closed sign. The two employees at the front were discussing for 10 minutes before telling us no. They could be hustling to serve customers instead. Unacceptable service when other restaurants are begging for business. read more

So glad we found this place. Loved the atmosphere!! Great customer service. We were seated quickly and orders taken right away. We ordered the Kauai prawns. I'm not a fan of prawns with the head on them. Totally creeps me out. However, the chimichurri sauce on them was AMAZING. The family loved them. Our pizza was perfect. Best meal of this trip. read more

We ordered food to go, the wait time said 6pm, it got to be 6:20pm so I checked in and the food was sitting on the counter cold. I never got a text to say it was ready. When I asked if I should have gotten a text they said yes, I let them know it's been 20mins since the original wait time and that was that. I left with my cold food... This has happened to me before, I wouldn't recommend coming here for take out. Spending $30 on a cold, soggy pizza is not worth it. read more

The pizza was incredible - super flavorful, and the lilikoi butter is a great touch that adds a unique flavor. The meatballs were HUGE, which makes sense given the price, but we weren't expecting how large they'd be. The salad was good, but not extraordinary. We will definitely be back to get more pizza, and to try eating inside. The ambiance is super cute and modern, but it's a fairly small place. You can also take your to go food from here to the brewery next door. We ordered online for pickup, which was quick and easy. read more

The quality of their pizza dough isn't as good as when they first opened but this happens to pretty much every single restaurant that gets popular and has difficulty keeping up. Still great pizza.

I still enjoy eating here but have reset my pizza expectations. read more

Who flies to Maui just for pizza and gelato?!? I do!!! Although this place is in upcountry, it is WORTH the drive! Hubby and I decided to plan a day trip. This was our last stop before we went home. Ambiance: it's a modern pizza shop with a beautiful view! It's a great place for a date night! Food: The pizzas are made fresh and are ohh so delish! We ended up buying extra to hand carry home to Oahu with us! Yum!! Besides the pizzas, you MUST have the olive oil gelato. I know it sounds weird, but the olive oil actually makes it more creamy!! Just try it. You're welcome. Service: Service was great! We had reservations and were seated right away. Our server gave us great recommendations and was really funny too. She made our date pretty memorable! It's probably why we ended up bringing pizza home with us. Lol! Overall, this place has great drinks, pizza, and a killer gelato. It is a must try. If you are looking for a nice plate for a date, this is it! read more
