Play while you wait, between board games of all sorts, to Fortnight, to classic Nintendo, Sega. Want to have a party there, they do that as well. Service is amazing as well read more

I would definitely come back again. The pizza was great although a little pricey, worth it. I got the pandemic pizza and the sonic the veg hog pizza. The white sauce on the veg hog pizza was amazing and completely made the pizza. The pandemic pizza was also good just in a different way. I personally like slighter thinner crusts than thicker, and that's just what this crust was. It wasn't thin enough to be called a thin crust but you definitely have to fold the pizza to stop it from giving in to gravity and drooping. If this isn't your type of crust just keep this in mind and remember that the flavor is amazing! I have heard and saw that they have a arcade game room inside, however never experienced it. Lastly the parking is a little difficult since it is in the downtown area. There's a small parking lot on the makai (ocean side) or back side of the restaurant. read more

Grabbed cheese and pepperoni slices along with a pasta bake. Food was very meh... There's a ton of cheese on everything, but it's the low quality stuff with weird texture. There was very little tomato sauce with minimal flavor. Pasta was mushy. The people working there were super nice, and the video game setups were very cool, distracting our kids while our food got heated up. read more

The pizza was very good; ambience was meh. The place is definitely catered to kids. Video games on every table, and the walls are painted themes of games. No alcohol. However, pizza is good. read more

Each time we visit this place it gets better! The menu is simple, easy and the pizza is creative, delicious. Price is super affordable and the service is a plus! Everyone is friendly! Of course kids would love even more! Oh! YES! There is all types of video games from all kinds for FREE! I was just talking about food and service. Yes yes, this place is phenomenal, definitely recommend! One of the best places to eat and be with your family in the Big Island! read more

The pizza and garlic knots are AMAZING! We highly recommend! The service was welcoming and friendly. read more

Cool place- you can play video games before/ after you eat. Pizza was good, but be prepared- it's very thin crust. Some people like that, however I'm more of a deep dish or pan style crust person. Staff was friendly- a little slow but would recommend regardless. We ordered the pulled pork drizzled in ranch pizza- it was good. read more

Visited Hilo this past weekend and found out about this place thanks to yelp. Decided to spend our family dinner here on a Saturday. Overall, BEST decision ever! We walked in and got seated right away. We were pretty much the only ones there. However, more families and couples were coming in later on. Anyways, first of all, my son and nephews instantly started playing video games... Yes... this spot has different video game consoles to play while you wait for your food. The games consoles consisted of Sega Genesis, X-box, Playstation, Nintendo switch and a Simpsons arcade. While the boys were occupied, us adults looked over their menu (they serve pizza & ramen). We ordered two pizzas and two pitchers of drinks. The boys fave was the Poke Ball Pizza (half pepperoni and half cheese). Prices for their food are reasonable. All in all, we were full and we all had a blast. The keikis didn't want to leave, so if you want to enjoy pizza and video games, this is the place to be. read more

I really want to like this place more. I really do. It's got some fun artwork all over the walls, it's cool that they have the video game consuls for free for everyone to play..... ..... But good Lord what the F kind of pizza place doesn't do half-and-half? That's like the fundamentals of pizza. It's me and a vegetarian and you're telling me we gotta get two pizzas instead of just putting chicken on part of it? No. Bad form Antics. Bad form. To make matters even worse I asked the waitress instead of a half-and-half Pizza how about just half and half sauce. Same toppings, half red half white sauce. Still no. To make matters even worse worse...... just tell me straight up " No we don't do that." There's no argument that can be had there other than me thinking it's dumb. But when you start telling me things like "especially when it's so busy it gets complicated" and there's only a couple tables with people....you're now just looking like foolish excuse makers lying about something blatantly obviously untrue. Making me roll my eyes at you. Is it really that complicated to put two sauces on a pizza? Pretty sure I've done that at 100 other places who never get overwhelmed with the complications but that's okay. And then to continue and tell me how the sauces have a hard time staying on the same side of the pizza and they just get mixed together anyway. How does that happen? I've never experienced this with any half-and-half sauce pizza before. What an anomaly The pizza took super long to come out and then when we got it it was an undercooked piece of slop. Literally every piece we took off the box had no tip to it. It was like they had cut the center of our pizza out and just put toppings in the hole. Upon closer inspection we realized that the uncooked thin layer of dough was simply stuck to the box with a bunch of slop piled on top. ..... They definitely put vegan cheese on the pizza which is not what the pizza we ordered came with....and that stuff was identical to glue....quite literally had to scrape our food off of the cardboard. All in all....not the best experience. Not the worst experience....but not great. Perhaps the ramen is a better option. read more

Visiting from Cali. This pizza joint is off the wall. This place is the perfect world for any gamer and enjoy having a pie. We enjoyed having thin crust pepperoni and olive plus Canadian bacon with jalapeños. Service and ambiance were just right. To all tourist if you enjoy pizza and Fortnite or Call of Duty this is the place to go. read more

Not a bad pizza at all. We ordered a pizza and salad to take out after reading other reviews. It took a little longer than they had estimated to have our order ready. We arrived a few minutes later than the estimated pick-up time, and had to wait another ten or fifteen minutes or so before the order was ready. It's a small place, not much room for the eat-in crowd, but the video games seemed popular. In any case, both the pizza and salad were pretty good. Pizza had a relatively thin crust. It wasn't overly greasy, as some can be. The caesar salad fed two of us. So we were happy campers. Parking was limited, and it took a few minutes to find a spot relatively nearby. But overall, we were happy with Antics and would recommend it. Don't expect fine dining, but a decent meal and an ok price. read more

It's been a minute since I've been on the Big Island (sigh), but here are my notes for this place: "awesome concept, passionate owner, friendly staff, good NY-ish style pizza" Awesome concept: it's videogames and pizza. Seems like it's been done before right? Pizza Hut had arcades. Chuck n' Cheez...well..wasn't that their whole thing?! It's different here. Every table has a little mini-console loaded with a dozen+ games. Passionate owner: he either knew everyone here or was on the fast track to doing so! Charismatic, empathetic, and gregarious are words I would use to describe him! Friendly staff: they take after the owner! NY-ish style of pizza: they have their own take on the pizza, but it is very good! It is very similar to NY-style (thin and floppy), which I love! Only complaint is that they don't have beer but...maybe alcohol laws in HI are weird and/or maybe they want to ensure it keeps the family vibes. read more

Our Ohana celebrated my son's 12th birthday here. The kids in our group had a blast playing the different video games Antics has to offer. The adults myself included were probably more excited than the kids at having classic Nintendo games at our table. The ambiance is relaxing & fun. We could not stop talking about how amazing our pizza was. The portions were huge, crust was perfect, sauce delicious & they do not skimp on the toppings! I worked at cpk for years and I prefer Antics pizza! We BYOB and paid the $5 corkage fee. Our Ohana can't wait to go back. Our server was very helpful & friendly! read more

Pizza was good. Surprisingly the ramen was very good too. Our family loved the concept gaming and grinds. I took one star away from that second room they expanded. Once you enter it, it smelled like you were in the bathroom. Hoping it was resolved and not an ongoing thing. read more

Booth was super small, no high chairs if you have a baby with you. A bigger location would probably suit them better. Ordered the garlic knots & they girl said they ran out of dipping sauce. It was on the drier side. Now for the pizza, it was alright. Nothing amazing about it. Seems like other ppl have more toppings on their pizza, unless it's because I ordered the biggest size & they didn't accommodate the size difference with the toppings for it. Upon leaving, looked like 2 of their employees were having enjoying a nice joint smoking session behind the building facing the parking lot. the smell was very strong for my young children to be inhaling read more

We had so much fun playing games at Antics Pizza. We stopped by right after landing in Hilo, suitcases in tow, and we ordered the Master Pig which we really enjoyed. The pizza here is great! Crispy and thin with good cheese. And the games make the wait go by quickly. Definitely worth a trip here. The staff here are very kind and go above and beyond. We'd finished our meal and left when problems with our rental car led us to return and ask if we could sit in the corner while we figured out alternate transportation. They were incredibly gracious and said that we were even welcome to play games if we were waiting. Brandy especially made an impact by calling her friend who helped us get a car that night (thank you!!!) Antics Pizza is a special place for us now, and we really appreciate the people who've made this place what it is. Will be back! read more

Great place! My wife has food allergies including dairy, gluten, and soy. We found this place on a vacation 3 years ago from Salem, Oregon. We think it is the best pizza we've ever had! We came back in vacation and have been here twice! We still think it is the best pizza ever! We hope they can put place of business in Salem, Oregon! read more

Just left after another visit, Sonic the Veghog might be my favorite pizza I've ever had! Basil, our server, was incredibly helpful and on top of things even though it was pretty busy.

If you like playing old computer games, this is the place for you. Play games and eat at the same time. But I don't like the taste of his pizza very much. It may not be in line with Asian tastes. By the way, the boss is very enthusiastic and the service is also very good. read more

Fun environment with chill music. Lots of video games for the kids to play. They have an excellent GF crust. Maybe the best I've ever had. The kids say it's the best pizza they've had in their lives.

I love this place! My boyfriend, his son and I all wanted to come here due to the boys being video game addicts! They also love pizza and ramen too so this place was heaven. It was relaxing, but also fun. Service was awesome and friendly. Food was absolutely great! I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and because of it i have to watch what i eat....but i gave their pizza and ramen a shot hoping my stomach will take it. and it did! TWICE! (since we visited antics twice within our trip. I definitely recommend this place. My boyfriend's son also asked the owner for his autograph and the owner was happy to do so and it made his day!

Great food, great environment and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Price is great as well.

Pizza is good and the overall atmosphere is pretty cool. Play video games while you wait? Yes please!

My husband and I have different choices of pizza so when we find a place where they sell individual pizzas, it's a win in my book! Let's talk about the establishment: They've got a gaming theme and the consoles to go along with it! We sat at the table with the Nintendo system and played some Mario Kart while waiting for our food. The food: I got the Pacman's Luau and it was so good! It was thin crust but had plenty of toppings so it was filling. My husband enjoyed the Master Pig which he also enjoyed. Customer service was awesome and the people working were very friendly. We really enjoyed it overall! read more

So picked up two pizzas to go on Labor Day. Yeah! They were open! Pleasant phone demeanor . Got a large cheese (Karen) lol and a combo that my friend wanted. Medium. She appreciated that the bell pepper was put on freshly! The (owner) was so pleasant upon pickup and I hope that when I visit the BI next January he has some tee shirts that say Hilo so I can buy some for friends. They are adorbs! read more

So happy we found this place! We had a long day at the Botanical Garden and Volcano National Park that pizza was the obvious craving. Called to order from leaving the National Park which is about a 45min drive. The girl who took our order timed it perfectly! The pizza was done once we arrived. There was seating avail inside so they were kind enough to let us eat there although we had requested to pick up. Seating is limited but very nice atmosphere to be in! Gamers will love! We ordered the Bradda Yosemite Sam, Pacmans Luau, and garlic knots. Everything taste amazing! read more

Antics Pizza - Gaming - Pizza Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

This was our first meal in Hilo and prior to coming here all I ever heard was "food in Hawaii isn't good since everything is imported". Well Bam! Incorrect from the get go. This is def the top rated pizza spot here in town. The Dough is something special. It is thin but I wouldn't necessarily call it a thin crust because it's cooks softer than normal crispy thin crusts, I think that's what makes it so unique aside from its yummy flavor! We had a cheese with half chicken for the kiddo (it's their breaded meat), and the Pacmans Luau. With jet lag at the time I didn't get to go in but I wish I had considering the 80s/90s gaming theme it touts with a visit. Don't forget to ask for a side of ranch! I haven't tried any other pizza in town since and I don't want to! Will definitely come back here for another before we head home. :) read more

Great place to spend an afternoon! The 90's music and Tetris on a Sega Genesis at our booth sent me back to my high school years is the late 90's. Staff was friendly, we enjoyed the video game character themed pizza and had a Pokémon pizza, half cheese, half pepperoni and a generous dollop of ricotta in the middle. Pizza was great and prices are reasonable. My son appreciated the many stations with different gaming consoles and we will come back, next time we are in Hilo read more

Here's what you need to know: Charming place with amazing service. Pizza taste was 4 stars but quality of fresh ingredients and service/charm (video game arcade) push it to 5. We pre-ordered the half cheese half pepperoni with ricotta an hour before we picked up. Pizza was ready in time and ricotta was amazing. Overall an enjoyable meal and we considered going back another day during our vacation so that's a referral for sure :) $20 for a 12" pizza read more
