    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I haven't eaten here in awhile. This place is located at the Pearl Highlands Shopping Center so there's plenty of parking. Came to support some friends for a "fundraiser night" where they had singing live entertainment. There are lots of tables and I believe you can call them to reserve a table and they'll put up a sign for any tables that are reserved. Most workers looked young (maybe high school and college) and service was okay. Ordered a pizza, fries, and 2 beers ($40+!). We got the special Garlic Parmesan and Kalua pizza, which was tasty. Waffle fries were meh. I got to try their Stuffed Mushrooms from a friend's order and that was actually delicious. I liked that they had regular beers on tap and even had beers from local breweries on island. I would recommend trying this place!

    Pizza Press is not new to us as we have been dining at this spot whenever we fly to Anaheim for Disneyland. So we were VERY pleased when this spot opened up in our neighborhood. We love that you can customize your pie but tend to order off the signature menu. Great sized pizza for sharing or easily feeding yourself. You can watch them assemble and cook fresh in line and the toppings are evenly spread around the pies. The chicken wings sides are good too but we usually order too much to finish. This location has lots of seating and a bar area - great for parties or watching sports events. I think they have live music here and there too. The Pearl City spot is very large and spacious- ample parking as it is on property of the Pearl Highlands Center.

    This Place Is A Great Spot For A Weekend Game, Beer & Pizza Your Way! I always get a salad, pizza, wings & a beer... I'm still trying to figure-out why they ask "if it's for health reasons or dietary needs" when i flip my crust to a cauliflower crust... i just wanna limit my carb intake... lol. But, besides that, the staff is friendly and fast and efficient. The restaurant is huge and there's a bar area. never seen it open. but, they probably use it for super bowl Sunday's and big game days.. A lot of TV;s around playing random games... Good way to fill the empty spaces of conversation while chewing my yummy Pizza, Wings & Salad...

    Great place to hang after work with great pizza and fresh looking salads! Adding hot honey to my pizza is a game changer!!!! Must try if you haven't. You can create our own or order off a menu. There's a bar on the other side. They also have happy hour! Fact is the pizza names are all news press names haha... hence pizza "press" so smart. I didn't notice at first. Wings are a hit or miss to me. But it's not always the restaurant fault it's probably their shipments. If you need fundraisers place, they can help!!

    Ordered a custom pizza for pickup through Door Dash and my order was ready with 20-25 minutes. Custom pizza orders made through the Door Dash app include the following choices: crust, sauce, cheese (select up to 10), meats (select up to 8), veggies (select up to 17), and finishers (select up to 10).

    EXTRA EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!! Another good pizza joint in the heart of Pearl City. Located in Pearl City Highlands and as with any shopping center, busier days can also mean you may need to circle around a few times to find parking, but finding parking has never been a problem. Now to the good stuff. I ordered The Herald pizza and the flavors made my mouth dance. I HIGHLY recommend The Herald. All fresh ingredients and the white sauce was to perfection. I also added the pesto sauce to it which was amazing! I also ordered the Garlicy Cheese Bread which had just the right amount of garlic flavor and cheese. I chose their marinara for dipping. Another one I recommend. Comfortable dining area, great lighting and excellent customer service.

    My boyfriend and I enjoyed our Friday night at The Pizza Press at Pearl Kai Shopping Center. [Food and Drink] The Pizza Press no longer offer $5 beer pitchers for happy hour; however, you can still enjoy 16 oz for $5! Not too shabby. The pizza was pretty good! The pizza dough wasn't quite what I expected but decent nonetheless. I tried the Tribune, no olives. Extras toppings and/sauce costs extra. You can substitute ingredients in the pre-set builds; however, our request for basil instead of olives was forgotten. Not complaining because no olives were on the pie. The wings are pricey but perfectly sauced. 10 pieces for $20.99! Wish they came with ranch. [Customer Service] Employees were nice and helpful. [Ambiance] The location itself is huge. It was pretty dead when I went but they have trivia and other fun events. Very clean. Restrooms available. Parking at the lot for free.

    The pizza press has a variety of pizza toppings, tried half spinach artichoke and half pepperoni with veggies. The pizza bakes super quickly!!! The garlic bread was decent wish it was a bit more cheesy. It would be a good contrast for either the pizza dough or garlic bread to be more doughy as both were a bit flat, but i do appreciate crunchy crust. Also the bar was closed so i really missed out on trying their drinks :(

    I love the vibe here! Clean & spacious, plentiful seating not all on top of each other. You can either pick from a menu of different pizza varieties or choose your own. They're very accommodating either way! Prices are reasonable, two 11" Pizzas were more than enough for a party of 3, with leftovers to take home.

    Lunch special

    Stopped in for a quick lunch with 3 friends on a Tuesday at 1130am. Barely anyone inside so we were able to get any table! They have many seating options. They had music playing medium-loud. But we were still able to hear each other for conversation. There were two workers at this time. One was brand new and wasn't quite familiar with the menu yet but she had a great attitude and customer service. Everyone has to start somewhere! Our food came out quickly, as fast as the oven baked it. Overall everything went well and the pizza was great. Although I wish they had a bit more meat and veggie options for the pizzas. They have a fountain drink station for soft drinks as well as some tea options. A tv screen in the dining area was displaying their daily events. Like Wine Wednesdays ($5 house wine) and Trivia Tuesdays and a Paint n Pizza day. I think some of those events sounded worth trying! Will be coming back.

    Bought calzones from here. It was very delicious- moist and tasty. There are a little larger than most calzones I've had at other places. You place your order with the first worker at the menu board. Then wait until u add extras as u move along. Don't pass anyone too early or it will mess up the order of the items at the cashier. Be sure to indicate it is for take out or if u are eating at the restaurant. It's a good place for just 2 or a family. Large tv screens are around with a variety of channels playing. Has good ambiance.

    Similar to pieology but a little more pricier but still decent for what you pay for. The pizza was delicious along with the garlic Parmesan wings. Love how clean and spacious this place is. The person helping us was kind and very patient. All in all if you want fresh and delicious pizza give this place a try.

    Cheese sticks

    For the longest time I always wondered what Pizza Press (PP) was. After a few years of living in PC, the fam and I decided to try PP for lunch one Sunday. When arriving, there was no line and we were immediately helped. I didn't realize PP was kinda of like a Pieology where you can choose your own topics or choose a preset one. The kids loved watching the staff make their pizza. Service was great and the food was fast. The reason for the -1 star is that the taste and flavor wasn't outstanding for me. It was good but not outstanding. The mozzarella sticks were maybe 3 stars. I probably wouldn't order the mozzarella sticks again. Would I go back? Most likely. I have to say, they have a decent amount of beers on tap and a variety of booze. I think it'd be a good place for pau hana and chill. But price wise, I do feel like they're somewhat price for a family of 4.

    10-piece wings. Not spicy.

    Ask the Community - The Pizza Press

    Does this place have vegan/ plant based options for cheese and meats like how pieology has?

    Good question and yes they do!

    This place open for sit down?

    they are allowing sit in to dine but very limited seating as well as the bar area.

    Any keto options?

    Yes. Wonderful KETO Cauliflower crust.

    Does this place take phone orders?

    Yes they do.

    Where are prices on their menu?

    There is only 1 price, so you can put as little or as much on your pizza

    Does this place take reservations? If not, how long is the average wait time?

    The info says no reservations. But we went at 12 on a Saturday and waited 5 minutes to order as there were two guests in front of us. Then you watch them make the fresh pizza and put it in the oven. Then you pay and get your drinks. Find a table…

Everything tasted fresh and I like the bbq ranch dressing it came with. I also had a few bites of my mom's grilled cheese and tomato soup, and that was really good too. It's hard to go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup. The only downside I would say was the price. Our meal came close to $40 for a small salad, a grilled cheese with tomato soup, and a drink.

When she handed me my order, she did tell me thank you though! I ordered the Fresh Island Ahi wrap on this trip. When I got it, it was pretty delicious as usual! I love coming here because the ingredients are so fresh, and the blend of all the ingredients together just hits your mouth as a foodgasm. The only thing is I shouldn't have tried to open up the wrapper holding the wrap together. When I did, the fillings all came out. Lol! I ended up eating it like a salad and a wrap by stuffing the fillings back in. It was still delicious. If I don't get the wrap, I usually get the Ono Island Ahi salad. It's all so yummy! If you are at Pearlridge Shopping Center, I suggest giving them a try! The ingredients are all locally sourced too, which is always a plus!

They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

I called the day before to order a small party pan of Fried Udon, and wow - it was really good! They were very generous with the beef, udon, and veggies. Unfortunately, the whole reason I ordered fried udon was to avoid eggs for my nephew, but I completely forgot to mention that when I placed the order... oops! Lol! He just skipped the noodles that day, but the adults were more than happy to enjoy his share for him! When I called to ask about pickup, I was hoping for 10am, but was told the earliest it could be ready was 10:30. I said, "Shux! I'll already be back in Ewa Beach by then, so it's okay." To my surprise, the woman on the phone offered to have it ready earlier, and we settled on 10:15 instead. I really appreciated her willingness to accommodate my schedule. As we were heading to the pickup, the same woman called letting me know my order was ready - it was almost 10am on the dot! Early!! She was also very friendly at the pickup window, which made the experience even better. The pricing was fair too - $60 for a small party pan. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu... and especially for another order of that delicious Fried Udon! Thank you to the New Town Cafe staff for the prompt and accommodating service! :)

We ordered the cold ginger chicken, loco moco, pork chop with gravy, and sesame balls. I have to say, I really miss the cold boneless ginger chicken the way it used to be made. It was one of my favorite dishes here. Unfortunately, the food just didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. The pork chop in particular tasted a little off to me, and instead of the Chinese-inspired flavors I remembered, the dishes felt more like local comfort food with a bit of Chinese flair. The overall experience also felt a little lacking in warmth and friendliness. I know many restaurants are facing challenging times, and it's never my intention to leave a low review. I genuinely want local businesses to succeed. But one thing I've learned throughout my food journey is that when food is made with love, you can taste it. It's more than just the ingredients--it's the care, pride, and aloha that come with it. And when that feeling is missing, you notice it too. This is simply my honest experience. No hate, just Queenie keeping it real. I'm hoping this was just an off day, and I truly wish them the best moving forward.

When we told our server that one of the drinks we ordered tasted funny, she was quick to offer to replace it, which I appreciated, but she didn't really offer an alternative. It took a second try before we were able to get something different. As for the food, it was okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out to me either. Maybe I'm a little biased since I grew up eating Filipino food, but for the price, I just don't think the food was worth it. I ordered Jessica's Bento, and unfortunately, it just didn't hit for me. Personally, I'd rather get a Zip Pac from Zippy's for less money. Would I come back? Yeah, I would. They have a pretty big breakfast menu, and I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying some of their breakfast options. I think there's potential here, especially since this is a new location, so I'd give them another shot!
