    A cube of chicken! Yay. Not blown away by the chicken pizza.

    Ok, I am a retired line chef, I know what it takes with food cost, etc. Honestly (the only way to be) the flavor is good, and I think the talent is there. But this attached picture says it all. This is a slice from a chicken pizza (a pizza that has chicken on it as an option). What's happening here?

    Pizza fresh Special with pineapple on half

    A friend on the mainland recommend this place. We love the town of Makawao so made it a point to stop for pizza while there. Nice young man Travis at counter to our order. Great customer service. We ordered the medium Pizza Fresh Special and added pineapple on half. The pizza was really good, fresh tasting ingredients, and loved the crust which was on the thinner side and crispy just the way we like it! The medium size was plenty for 2 ppl and very reasonably priced. Definitely worth coming back to.

    Garlic Parmesan wings

    We all love Makawao, and this humble little place surely didn't disappoint. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza and a 12 piece order of the garlic Parmesan wings. The pizza -although we ordered just a simple pepperoni- had absolute perfect crust and they didn't hold back on the pepperoni either! Next time we're stoked to try one of their speciality pizzas, they had a lot! The Parmesan wings were flavored excellently, however we would have preferred them a little crispier. But this is something we can easily request next time! The service was just as superb as the food and we will definitely be back

    I was pleasantly surprised, and so happy I stopped by this place called - Pizza Fresh in Makawao! I was doing a job in the Pukalani Terrace Center yesterday, and when it got around 1:00 PM, I realized we had to stop what we were doing & take a break for lunch, as my coworker & I had been up since 3:30 AM. Originally, my coworker & I was gonna eat at a place called "Mixed Plate" within the Pukalani Terrace Center, but since this place didn't have already made food that day, we opted to go somewhere else to eat, and that is how we ended up at Pizza Fresh. Pizza Fresh is located in a small business plaza (sorry I didn't notice the name of the business center), there is free parking within the business plaza parking lot, that is shared by other businesses. The shop is pretty small, as it's more like a grab & go kinda place. But if you choose to eat at the shop, I did notice there were a few tables & chairs outside of the business, as well as a "counter table" inside the store with a few chairs. Upon walking into the shop, we were greeted right away & the clerk gave us enough time to look over their big menu mounted on the wall. After looking over the menu, I decided to get the Pesto Chicken Sandwich ($9.00), and my coworker got a small Pesto Chicken Pizza ($14.00). To wash down our meals, we got bottled waters ($1.00 each). What can I say about my sandwich? OUTSTANDING!!! To be Frank, I was totally shocked when the clerk brought out my meal, as I was just expecting a sandwich............ But what I actually got with my sandwich was a nice little green salad with some chips, and I must say it was a quality sandwich of great value! The bun was freshly baked, and the ingredients in my sandwich was all so fresh! Unbelievable! (see my pic!) As for coworker, he opted for a pizza.............as he ordered a small Pesto Chicken pizza. When the clerk brought out that pizza, I was shocked at how big the pizza was, as I thought my coworker got a medium pizza! The toppings used were pretty similar to my sandwich, as his pizza had fresh grilled chicken breast, red onions, Feta, fresh garlic, on Pesto. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! Should I be in the area again, I would gladly come back here to try a pizza next time! Looking for an ono pizza, pasta, or sandwich? Give Pizza Fresh in Makawao a try! Buggah is winnah's!

    6pm Storefront

    I placed my order for a large pizza one evening about 45 minutes before closing time, and then waited in the parking lot. Then at 7:59, one minute before closing, I saw some hurried movement inside the restaurant, and then all the lights went out. Realizing the time, I got out of my car and ran to the door. I knocked as loudly as i could and looked through the window, but all the lights were out inside, and the restaurant was apparently deserted. When I got in touch by phone with the same girl who sold me the pizza, she lied to me, & tried telling me that they waited for 20 minutes past closing and looked everywhere for me. Insanity. I was there. I know what happened, and I had 2 friends with me at the time, both of whom will attest to what really happened. My wife then called, trying to be reasonable, saying that if they didn't want to remake our pizza or refund our money, then they could at least dig what remained of our original one out of the dumpster. After all, we paid for it (and tipped 20% . . . sadly). That makes it our property, and by refusing to hand it over, Pizza Fresh had effectively robbed us of our money. But, the "manager" just kept saying "I can't hear you", & then hung up. When my wife tried to call back, she learned that her # had been blocked. We proceeded to go there in person, only to find the restaurant closed....& right at the start of the dinner rush (The time-stamp in 1 of my pics shows 6:05pm), simply because my wife had told her that she was coming to the restaurant (so she COULD hear her over the phone--no surprise there).

    Food was good/smashburger & garlic fries. I'll be back to try the pizza. It seemed like it had a steady business.

    For the last few years we've come to Kula after a long day hiking Haleakala's national park and…read moreevery time we're left satisfied! We love the food and I always order the same thing which is the chicken Parmesan! I love that the portions are huge and that the chicken is super flavorful. Whatever sauce they're using is addicting...5/5 For appetizer we decided to try the calamari for the first time, now the pic doesn't do it justice but it's super crispy and has plenty of greens. 4.5/5 Definitely a must go if you find yourself by the park. Overall 5/5

    Here's what I like: They cook protein well. Friendly staff…read more Close proximity to home. They offer large portions, if that is your thing. Here's what I don't like: They use VIP produce and other commercially grown, and flown in ingredients instead of sourcing locally, and their prices are too high to reflect this. The taste absolutely reflects this and if you know the difference, you taste the difference (yuck). Another competitive restaurant upcountry, Marlow, uses exclusively locally grown and sourced produce with exceptional quality, taste and execution, around the same price point. It is a no brainer for me; the taste, quality, and value are superior at later mentioned restaurant. Kula Bistro is over hyped and over priced, but in a pinch, we appreciate the convenience.

Service is always friendly and ambiance indoors is nice and relaxing. If you're looking for Italian food Upcountry for dinner try Casanova!

    We went here the other night for a cheap date…read more You know, when you don't feel like cooking, but you don't want to spend a lot of money at a fancy place, so no cocktails, no appetizers, no dessert. Instead of two entrées, we decided one appetizer and one entrée, simply because I think their meatballs are the best on the island. They are fantastic. The fresh baked focaccia bread was also outstanding, although my girlfriend and I both found the vinegar/oil a weird mix as the vinegar would not stick to the bread because of the oil. The service was fantastic. You're probably thinking how is this review two star when half of the meal and service is already fantastic? It started with the last two times we came to Casanova's upcountry. *black and white flashback* Casanova's was the restaurant of our first date 6 years ago and we always went there for any special occasion. It always delivered. However, the two most recent trips were less than subpar. The pizza had to be eaten with a fork because the crust was so floppy and thin, and the service was just not there. We had one of those grumpy waiters who made us feel bad for even asking for something. And then the sorbet dessert took more than 30 minutes to come out. *back to present day* So we told ourselves, this would be the third strike, and if Casanova's still disappointed, they would be out of the regular rotation. The waiter asked us if we wanted bread, and my girlfriend said, "yes, please." But then I noticed that bread is not free. To me, you don't offer something that is complementary at many places without letting people know it's gonna cost them. Then, for the meatballs, which, mind you, are still amazing...the manager asked if we wanted parmesan cheese. We said yes, and he brought back what appeared to be Kraft Parmesan cheese from the green cylinder container. You guys all know the one. The ground powder that you grew up thinking is what Parmesan cheese topping is, but then you go to a real Italian restaurant and realize no, it's actually something that is a much more luxurious experience. It is bursting with flavor and shredded on your plate for maximum freshness. I guess it's the same thing as grinding pepper over your salad versus giving you a salt shaker. This is not Fazzoli's lol Also, I do not know if they raised prices since our last few times, but everything felt more expensive. The chicken parmesan was $33. It was ok. It wasn't this omg experience like we had had previously, but, we also couldn't tell if it was just all of the experiences finally coming to a head. A month ago, I had also spoken with a coworker of their own subpar experience at Casanova's as well. So here we are, over $60 for what should've been a cheap night out for one appetizer and one entrée. ...And with this crazy weird Parmesan experience. We felt like they were increasing prices, but lowering the quality of the ingredients. We couldn't put our finger on it, other than to say this was a value to price mismatch. Given the prior two times, this was strike three. We will not be going here again.
