I wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint, i had the chicken marinara spaghetti with the meat sauce spaghetti and a garden salad with italian vinaigrette. The spaghetti was very good and the portions and qualty were top notch and were great for the cost, very affordable. The salad also was huge for the cost and had very good quality and tasty. I will definitely return to try other options including the pizza and others. The owners are very nice and helpful and they surely do a great job at their food. This is a must try place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Wanting to support a local small business, I made it a point to schedule Amina Pizzeria into my day. Parking was a bit of a challenge since Kalakaua Avenue is a busy area. I did takeout since I wasn't able to find street parking. Inside, I was surprised to see such an extensive menu. I would like to return to this clean, pleasant, cozy eatery someday, and get a pasta dish! This time, I just ordered a Combination Pizza from the efficient, friendly cashier. She was very kind to each customer! The Pizza was cut into four slices - just right to share with my niece and sister! We all enjoyed it - especially the crust with its crispy edges! The ingredients were fresh (onions could be chopped smaller) and the flavor was delicious! Looking forward to returning! read more

Ordered spinach and roasted garlic Calzone, $12.95 Combination Calzone, $13.95 Antipasta salad with vinaigrette, $12.95 Prices are reasonable. Good portion.

The FOOD was amazing, there were so many options and the cheese pull on the Margherita Pizza was phenomenal!! I throughly enjoyed my garlic bread and will definitely be coming back to fulfill my pizza craving again. The kind young lady at the counter was so knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable at the small take out restaurant. I ate in and for me personally I hate taking things home to get cold, so I would def recommend grabbing a table and ordering to your hearts content!!! read more

Nice little pizza place about 1/3 mile from Waikiki. I picked up a small fresh spinach and garlic (#3) to go. It took 7 minutes (they were not busy). The pizza is good, but not spectacular. Cheese was good and the toppings were fresh, but the crust was just ok. Next time, I will try the French bread pizza. Little containers of crushed red pepper and Parmesan in the box were a nice surprise. Service was great. Location is convenient and it's much better than Domino's, a Little Caesars', etc. Will return. read more

I can't believe that it was my first time here. The food was absolutely delicious. I pass by all the time. We actually wanted to go to Machete next door, but they were closed, so we dined at Amina Pizzeria. We ordered the #16 cheese calzone $9.95 and #53 garlic bread with marinara sauce $6.95. They both were fantastic and both came with marinara sauce. It's the sauce that made all the difference. It wasn't too tart and I could taste all the seasonings. The garlic bread was garlicky and the calzone was loaded with gooey cheese. It was filling. The meat sauce lasagna caught my eye. I will have to definitely try that next time. read more

Surprised to see some of these lower reviews. You're probably that 1% that just needed something to complain about. Heck one of you gave this place 2 stars because it took 7 minutes. Like bro, the average bake time for a pizza place is 6-8 minutes - you must be a Tostinos pizza lover, where the pizza shows up fast because it never fully committed to being a pizza Amina Pizzeria is outstanding!! Never had a bad experience here and we come here every time we're in Hawaii . The lady up front is nice and pleasant, and the pizza is seasoned good, cheesy, and the crust is great. Definitely recommend read more

Probably the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. Lady up front was so kind and sweet. The sauce was off putting the crust seemed almost raw. Except the back that was better. The cheese didn't seem completely melted , and the pepperoni almost tasted generic absolutely no flavor. Maybe other stuff is better just not the pizza. read more

Just a little neighborhood pizza shop! I had always passed this spot and wondered. Boy did I miss out! I have gotten take out here about 4 times now and have been pleasantly surprised every time. Their pizza is very tasty. I love their salads tho...! Ugh and their cheesy garlic bread....ugh so delicious! The salad is loaded plus has little pickled veggies that a delight with every bite! If you share this ..you'll be fighting over the pickled celery! The garlic chewy bread are what dreams are made of...soft and buttery with garlic. And just the right amount of cheese for that cheese pull! 5 read more

I ordered takeout from this place, based on walking distance from my hotel and the reviews on Yelp. I ordered a cheese pizza that was ready in about 15 minutes. The pizza was good, very cheesy. There was Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes in the box to add which was nice to see when I opened the box. There isn't a lot of space inside the restaurant to eat there if you were looking to do that. They also gave me plates and utensils which was nice because I didn't have any of those items back at the hotel. read more

Amina pizzeria is one of my fave, go-to pasta places on the island. Love their spaghetti and meatballs, and their Alfredo pizza, so good. There's a little bit of seating indoors so I usually always do takeout. Their prices are really affordable, and the owner hasn't changed even after I first tried them over a decade ago, and they've been consistent on taste and quality! The value of what you get is way more than what you pay for, so I love coming here. Owner and staff are always nice and honest, love this place!! read more

Great little lunch spot located on Kalakaua close by to Don Quiote area. You can dine in or take out. There's a shared lot for the other stores & restaurants in the building. Not a lot of parking, but there's also street parking. Ordered 2 kinds of pizza. I would say if there was more sauce it would've tasted better. They aren't huge like the Sam's or Costco pizzas so I would say they are more like a personal pan style pizza. read more

Short wait, fresh pizza, & super sweet staff * We for: 1. Hawaiian pizza w/ extra cheese: - Pizza came out in 15ish minutes - bread is a little different than what we were expecting. It does taste as if I made the dough at home but less fluffy. There's seating inside the store but we opted to grab it to go. Not bad though!

Another experience that doesn't match the above average rating. Another experience where I was the one expectation out of 4-5 above average experiences. Though, some reviews are more generous than it should be, but that's fine. Here we are at Amina Pizzeria at the corner of Kalakaua Ave and Fern St--next to Machete's Mean Sandwiches and Moped Garage. There's a small parking lot in the back of the building along Fern St. It shares the lot with Pho Bistro 2 and other businesses. Inside is small--definitely hole in the wall size--with a few tables. But atleast is bright and clean. Besides pizza, this place offers calzones, spaghetti, French bread pizza, lasagna, baked penne, salads, and sandwiches. Pizzas come in three sizes, 10-, 12-, and 14-inch. I went with the Amina Combination Pizza (pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, Italian meatball, red onion, and bell peppers. I have to agree with the lower rated reviews regarding the dough and toppings. The dough/pizza crust really tasted like the frozen pizzas from the store. That was my immediate thought after the first bite. The crust was just thin, dense, and cardboard-like. The lack of sauce and taste was obvious. The toppings, albeit fresh, were too raw and undercooked for a pizza. Sure, I can taste the sweetness of the bell peppers and onions, but the crunchy texture didn't feel right. The oils from the pepperoni and meatball did not come out. Everything just ate bland and dry. Overall, it's disappointing the pizza is under seasoned, under cooked, and under sauced. I liked the fresh ingredients and the generous portions, but eating the cardboard-like, generic, frozen pizza crust killed the mood. These are really simple fixes. Use better pizza crust, lower the heat, so you can cook the vegetables and meats without burning the cheese, and USE MORE SAUCE and seasoning. Service was good. The lady was friendly and patient. The ingredients are there, and it wasn't awful. Just missed the marked on cooking time. Can't be bad twice right? I'd probably come back to try again. Maybe... The Sam's Club Deluxe pizza is pretty good though. read more

It was our last night on Oahu and were looking for some pizzaaaa. The dining area is very small/really casual so we decided to order to go and eat it by the pool. The service was great! Super friendly and efficient. We ordered a large Margherita with some sides of ranch. The pizza was undercooked and overall I felt it was just average. Surprising because the reviews are so good. But again, the service is exceptional. read more

We enjoy pizza on a regular basis. We patronize 4 or 5 pizzerias from Kakaako to Moiliili. All are locally owned mom & pops. Amina is a place we recently discovered & we keep going back. They have high onlinereviews for good reasons. Their pizzas are great with generous toppings & perfect thickness of crust. Owner is very sweet and accommodating. read more

Super easy to call and order. The worker is super sweet :) she double checked our order and made sure we had enough forks, pepper, Parmesan, etc. pizza was yummy and filling!! I would recommend this place if you're tired at the end of your day and need some good pizza read more

We love coming here and don't mind taking the drive. Aunty at the front is so sweet and gives great customer service The food prices are reasonable with great portions. Everything we've tried so far was great, although I prefer the calzone to be baked just a little longer. There's a small parking lot around the corner or there's street parking just be careful as it is in a sketchy area. read more

We used to have an Amina Pizzeria in Kailua decades ago where Fat Boys is now. I used to come here for simple pasta, although they do have pizza and sandwiches too. Now they are on Kalākaua Ave and Fern Street. They have been here for years. The same lady works here which is probably one of owners. Most of the pasta are quick like the baked spaghetti with meat balls and even the spaghetti with meat sauce! Love coming here although sometimes finding parking during the busy lunch hours in their shared parking lot can be challenging with other businesses and Pho Bistro 2. The most recent times I was lucky or I just find parking before ordering from my car. Pasta was usually quick. What is so different here is the taste in their marinara sauce. You can smell the marinara sauce and it's taste good too! She said they make their own sauce! Believe me it's yummy! It was hard to describe and she said it's a sweet but tangy taste! You would love it and can taste the difference. There are a few tables to dine in. It's a casual restaurant serving yummy Italian food. Nice and friendly service! read more

The ONLY reason it's not 5 stars is the pizza was slightly under-cooked for my preference. I should've asked for "crispy" but didn't.

Amina Pizzeria - Inside - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've heard about Amina pizzaria and worked nearby (sorta) but didn't really get a chance to eat here. It's a small shop off kalakaua Ave with some parking behind. I went during a off hour so it wasn't that busy at all. Hopefully, they do have busier times and it's not completely dead there. I'm not sure if it's a one woman show either, but she was very pleasant and seemed really happy that I had such a large order. I spent about $60 and got the following: Amina calzone Sausage and bell pepper French bread pizza 10" Amina pizza Spaghetti and meatballs. Portions was huge, but I only really got a taste of the French bread pizza which was my favorite. I also got to try the calzone but it was a little too much cheese for my liking. My mom took the rest of the foods since it was her bday anyway. I definitely want to try other things again. A lot of the menu items weren't so terribly priced for the amount of food you get. read more

Sometimes you just want carbs and cheese. When those cravings hit, head straight to Amina. Their made to order calzones are why I keep coming back. Pipping hot, loaded with fillings, and served with a marinara dipping sauce, they are consistently good. Another option would be their pizzas, either a traditional pizza crust or french bread. Try the tomato pesto or pepperoni mushroom. Amina proves simple can be so satisfying. read more

Amina Pizzeria is small pizza shop with few small tables to eat in, but seems more designed for takeour. They offer a variety other Italian dishes and calzones, too. The pizza is not like New York pizza, the crust is diiferent. But, I still liked it. It was service with a smile from the moment I walked in. I ordered the 14 inch Hawaiian pizza then sat down to wait for my order. My pizzz was brought out to me sooner than expected less than10 minutes. I sat at the table and ate a couple of slices before leaving, tasty! I recommend it! read more

I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant from co-workers. I've always driven past it but never stopped for a bite until recently. I wanted to eat some Italian food but wasn't sure what I wanted and remembered Amina's offered a selection of pizza, pastas, sandwiches and salads. They are located one block mauka of Kapiolani Boulevard at the corner of Kalakaua Avenue and Fern Street. Parking wasn't a problem as there is a lot on the back of the building or on the street. The restaurant itself is small with limited tables to dine in. After checking the menu, I decided on the lasagna. My order was ready in 10 minutes. The portion was just right. The ricotta and marinara sauce complimented the noodles and ground beef nicely. I also ordered a slice of cheesecake which was also good. I'm not sure if they make it in-house or order it from somewhere else but it wasn't heavy as some cheesecake can be. I will definitely be back to try their pizzas and sandwiches! read more

Located next to Machete's Mean Sandwiches. Easy phone order to-go if you're in the mood for pizzas or calzones! Small shop. Took about 20 min. Calzones were large and tasty!

Came here two days in a row. The food is excellent, it's approved by our Italian friend, he tried the lasagna, the pizza, the meatball sandwich, and even the salad. It's a small place, better for takeout, but there are 4 tables where you can eat your food. The Lady was super nice and helpful, she brought our food out and made sure that we were happy with everything. All the food items were fresh, not greasy, and most meat items were also halal, she told us which were not. Also, my husband is very sensitive to bad oils, and he didn't have heartburn from the food here. I had the breadsticks with my avocado salad and they were amazing. read more

I usually don't write reviews but this is one of my fav spots in the neighborhood, I get cravings for it & love getting it for the fam ! The auntie is always so sweet and helpful at the front. First off the prices for the portions you get are so cheap and reasonable! Everytime Ive gone she gets us right , cutest little Ma & Pop whole in the wall shop . You wouldn't expect from the outside My personal fav is the amina special sandwhich, it's like a melted hoagie to perfection!!!! Everything is melted and smooshed so good together and the vinegar sauce on the side i could drink, like others have said lol. I get extra sauce and no charge fee The pizzas are so yummy and they have unique flavor combos. It's almost like a thick flatbread which my son loves . The small is GIANT btw All the spaghetti my family has tried multiple times, from white sauce to red meat sauce & always fire and flavorful, it honestly reminds me of my Grandmothers cooking in New Jersey. The meatballs are so fresh too. I wish this place would stay open forever in my lil neighborhood. Mahalo auntie!

Amina pizzeria is a solid choice for pizza if you're in Waikiki. Especially if you care anything about eating locally and not ordering from Pizza Hut or whatever. I picked up some pizzas for my students from Amina. The lady who answered the phone to take my order was really friendly. She sounded so sweet on the phone. When I arrived, she was very nice and told me it would be a few more minutes. I'm not really sure where to park, but I parked in a lot. I think it may be street parking only. There are a few tables inside, but it's a little hot. I'd suggest ordering to go. The friendly lady even gave me a huge stack of napkins without me asking. There are 3 sizes of pizza to choose from. They also offer French bread pizzas, calzones and pasta! I'll have to come back and try some of the other things they offer. I got the combination pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious and the kiddos gobbled it all up. I think it would have been a lot better hot. By the time I was able to eat, the pizza was a little cold, but it was still good :) read more
