Don't hesitate and make the call! The pizzas are one size - 14". Thin crust that holds structure = perfection. We ordered breadsticks (pillowy goodness), a cheese pizza, and a combo. Everything was SO good. Recommend calling ahead for pickup - it took about 35 mins for our order during dinnertime over the weekend. read more

Just inhaled a whole pie in the car with my family. It was THAT good. It was so good, I came straight here to tell you about it. It was so good, we planned to come back tomorrow but they're closed Sundays so we're coming back Monday. The crust was lightly baked and pillowy. It's one of those pizzas where you'll eat the entire slice, crust and all. The pizza had the perfect amount of cheese and sauce and the flavor and saltiness was perfect. When you pick up the slice and fold it to eat, it doesn't droop. I will say this though, if you take the pie home, it will probably steam and get soggy with how thin the pizza is. Eat it fresh if you can and you'll have one of the best pizzas of your life. The best thing is the person who took our order was so friendly and had the pizza ready when promised. We'll be back! read more

Found this place the previous night while eating ramen in the plaza. Got there at 745p placed my order and went to KTA for drinks. It was tight because KTA closes at 8. After we got back we waited another 5-10 Minutes and noticed he place a "sold out" sign on the door... wow.... Got the last one. It's just one size and is ($24-28) depending on toppings. Ordered a a two topping with Hamakua mushroom and Italian sausage. The mushroom diced small but it works. The crust was buttery and crisp. The pizza was bit salty for my taste. read more

Authentic Italian Pizza in Hawaii no way!!! No but seriously staying near Mauna Lani resort area craving authentic style pizza this is the place worth treking 12 minutes up the mountain to get. Did I mention the flour for the dough is imported straight from Italy! The crispy crust with a hint of garlic was fabulous. The flavors were fantastic. Price wise $24-28 1,2,3 all one delicious size just the amount of topping increases. Again craving an authentic Italian style pie in Big Island this is the place. read more

Balsimo's Pizza - 1/2 Hawaiian 1/2 pepperoni olives mushrooms and 1 slice of cheese - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

Great spot for pizza. The pizza has a great chew and very nice flavor. Toppings are fresh and flavorful. They don't have the breadsticks on the website menu but they did on the board in store. I recommend them. Wish they had ranch instead of red sauce but they were good without sauce. The person at the front/phone was super friendly. The storefront is simple but great for takeout and they are open late. read more

Balsimo's Pizza - Here is the updated in store menu. Simple but delish. - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

What a great pizza place we stumbled upon. I called and ordered pizzas and was told there were so many pizzas in front of ours that we would get a call when ours was close to being done. The guy on the other end of the phone was incredibly kind, and you could tell he liked his job. We showed up and he was just as kind in person. It seemed like a one-man show, but he had it under control. Clearly locals love this place, as well as he seemed to know all of them by their first names. If you are ever in Waikoloa Village and craving a pizza this is the place to go. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of the ingredients, and the crust was exceptional. We devoured all three pizzas so much so I didn't even get pictures. read more

The pizza was yummy and hot . Very friendly, small place , great for take out , especially for Football. I just wish the mushrooms on my pizza weren't chopped so small, but would definitely go back . read more

Found this pizzeria in the Waikoloa village on the way to Mauna Kea. Their tagline of using flour from Italy caught our eye (over a chain pizzeria in the same stripmall) :). They are open late and is a bonus when most of the places shut down by 8-9pm. You can customize the toppings and they make it fresh based on the order (price varies per number of toppings on the pizza).. Placed the order over phone and the order was ready within 30m. On-time pickup and nice conversation with the owner there too :) The pizzas were hot and extremely tasty. We got two pizzas in total with variation on toppings on each half (so highly customizable) and was good for four hungry people. The chef's technique, hospitality is definitely visible as well as the quality of the ingredients used. Highly recommend and will definitely repeat. read more

This is quality pizza, I didn't know what to expect but it's really good quality. I just had a slice of leftover pizza from last night. The true test is when it's cold the next day. I make a lot of pizza and this is the crust I am trying to make. read more

Called ahead 25mins for a pizza and they did an excellent job having it ready just out of the oven once I got there. The ambiance is simple as expected for a pizza storefront. Our pepperoni and sausage pizza was delicious! With an excellent crust, tasty toppings, and a good cheese/sauce ratio, this was our favorite pizza of the trip to Big Island. Highly recommend if you are feeling a pizza! read more

Balsimo's Pizza - Pepperoni and Sausage pizza - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

This is the most amazing pizza on Hawaii Island. Thin crust with great chew. Phone orders are preferred as a lot of locals call in advance. You don't need to over top the pizza. It will have great flavor. read more

Pizza was excellent. We walked in, were greeted immediately, and the owner explained the menu to us. We chose 3 toppings and he pointed out that a 4th topping was the same price so we added a 4th. It took about 15 min for the pizza to be done and we strolled around the shopping center while we waited. He took my number and called when it was ready. The crust was probably my favorite part. Neopolitan style with good chew and firm on the bottom. His ingredients are clearly top of the line. The only thing I would love to see change as he grows the business is a seating area where we can eat the pizza hot, preferably with a good Chianti read more

Thin crust pizza with delicious toppings. Minimalist, like real Italian pizza. I loved it! Most customers this evening got takeout. We ate at the park bench in front of the store. Not romantic, but serviceable. I would be a regular here if I lived closer. read more

Balsimo's Pizza - Ham, mushroom, olive, artichoke, pineapple and onion - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

My son fell in love with this spot. We come to the Big Island once a year and rarely do we eat pizza. This last trip we ended up going here twice and it's a no frills spot but done right. The pizza dough is great and the owner is a great guy. If you're in the mood for good pizza this is about as good as it gets on BI. read more

The crust was perfectly thin & crisp (not overly crunchy) with the fluffy outer crust. The taste of that nice crust paired with the sauce was so dang good! I got Italian sausage, olives and Hāmākua mushrooms, no cheese. This is easily in my top 3 pizzas I've ever had. Idk what's up with the negative diced veggie reviews - it was actually really nice to have a bit of mushroom chew in each bite! There was no lack of toppings either. It was a perfect balance of everything in my opinion. My hubby got all the meat toppings and he also agreed this pizza spot is at the top of his list! Chad was super nice from the time he took our phone order to pickup. We're inter-island travelers and we are so happy we picked Balsimo's for our last dinner in Kona. read more

What an awesome spot! Owner is really kind. Pizza is simple and reminds me of mainland pizzerias. Got a pepperoni and sausage. Sausage was very flavorful, pepperoni is crispy and light on the sauce. The bread though...NICE. Had a great flavor and light crunch to it. The bread sticks are great! Soft and dense but simple enough to enjoy the flavor of the imported flour. Price shocked me. Probably the cheapest and most flavorful pizza to get on island. read more

The owner, Travis Balsimo, himself greeted us at the door and took our order. Very friendly and even called me when our order was ready! Love the simplicity of having only 14" pizzas. We ordered one plain cheese and a 1/2 pepp and 1/2 mushroom and sausage pizza to feed our family of 4 (2 teens). Both pizzas were instantly devoured right when we got back to our room and we all kept mmm'ing. You know it's good pizza when there's no crust left behind! read more

Probably one of the best pizza places on the island! Yummy breadsticks, solid pizza, and friendly service. Definitely try this place!

The pizza and service was great. It does take a little bit especially if they are busy but it was worth it. The inside was clean and well lit. The crust was just the right mix of crispy and chewy. The pizza was not very cheesy so if that is a thing for you I'd order extra cheese as an add on. It only comes in one size. I also wish they offered some kind of hot peppers- jalapeño or something local would be even better. I would certainly come back read more

Balsimo's Pizza - Out front - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

Simple and delicious! This pizza has the perfect crust, cheese, sauce, topping ratio. It is a great classic pizza and we really enjoyed it. We called ahead and they call you back when your order is ready so you don't have to wait around which is great. Decently long wait on a week night but the process was smooth and service was good. read more

Pizza was mediocre and toppings were diced to the size of a pea. The lady who was working was pretty rude. Not busy when we went at all and no seating options inside. read more

Pizza was amazing, and the owner is a really nice guy. I would highly recommend getting this if you're in Hawaii.

We have been there twice in one week! Gotta be the best pizza on the island. Affordable and GREAT service- you can call and order over the phone. Just go, you won't regret it! read more

Ordered 5 pizzas with different toppings. Each was great. The family loved them. Thanks!

Every review below 5 stars should stay eating at Dominos because the pizza was DELICIOUS. We got a box of 4 toppings and breadsticks and the breadsticks are a MUST! Extremely soft bread and never felt heavy. The owner is extremely hospitable & made us feel welcomed, this place is over 5 stars. I will come back every time I visit. So worth it! read more

So happy to have this cool pizza spot in Waikoloa that's open until midnight!! Love the no nonsense menu and friendly service. Pizza is delicious with a perfectly chewy crust!!! read more

Located in Waikoloa Village, in a new shopping area - a large parking lot offers plenty of parking. Take-out only, there is no seating to eat on site. Call ahead would be best, but we wasted time wandering to see what options were available in the area. The staff was super friendly. There is only 1-size pizza available, 8-slices. The price only changes based on how many toppings you want. It's a build your own option only. Price was reasonable. We got a simple pepperoni and it was delicious. My family dug in before I could snag a pic. Thinner crust, but not crispy. The flavor of the dough seemed a bit garlicky which was so good. Def give this place a try, they are doing pizza right. read more

Balismo's was okay. Some of the toppings are chopped in to really tiny pieces (mushroom, peppers, pineapple). The proportions are not right. I ordered 3 pizzas and they were all a little salty. Not sure if it's the cheese or if they add something to make it salty. Nothing special but decent. Pizzas range from $24-$28 depending on how many toppings you pick. Positive is that they are open until midnight. So if you need food late you have a pizza option. The location is about 10 minutes from the Hilton. The restaurant was clean but there is only one picking table outside if you want to eat your pizza there. I wish you could see the kitchen but there is no view, just a big white wall. read more

Travis, the ower is very friendly and treats customers as friends. We have stopped here several times and the pizza is consistently excellence. We highly recommend this establishment! read more

Really great service, we loved he pizza and we love that it has that mom and pop feel. It's in the same plaza as dominos but we would pick here 1st. In fact this is our 2nd time this week...lol You guys are doing great! read more

Ran into this place while visiting Waikoloa. The Pizza is top notch and the owner is super friendly.

Absolutely delicious pizza and the cheapest meal we've eaten on the Big Island. 10/10 recommend! Take out only. No inside seating. Super friendly service. read more

This was one of the worst pizza experiences I've ever had. The crust was soggy, the toppings were chopped so small they were barely recognizable, there was no sauce at all, and it was overwhelmingly salty. We waited nearly two hours for a pickup order -- completely unacceptable. The pizzas were tiny, overpriced, and tasted worse than basic fast food pizza. Honestly, any chain pizza place would've been 10 times better. Huge letdown. Definitely won't be coming back. Turn around go dominos. I would rate it a zero if I could. read more

Balsimo's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

We wanted to like the 5 star ratings about the nice owner and discount the 1 ratings that complained about it being no better that Dominos with small portions of sauce, ingredients and very finely chopped to the point you could not see it. We wanted to like it but it was not very good. The ingredients were unrecognizable and the sauce nonexistent. We went home and loaded the crust with our tomatoes and cheese and artichokes and it was great indicating that the crust is good. They also had fewer customers than the other two pizza places so I am guessing that they will not be around long. read more

Reasonably priced. Good taste. So it was gone before i could take the picture A little bit on the salty side though. read more

Travis is a great guy and the pizza was excellent as well. He was very personable and the pizza was reasonably priced. This is a great place to stop otw back to your hotel; forget about the Domino's right next to it haha. read more

Very awesome to have a pizza location in Waikoloa Village and the new shopping plaza. The menu is very simple. The pizzas are all one size, 8 slices, and the prices varies based on how many toppings and ingredients you want. They don't open until 5:00 PM however, but they are open until 12:00 AM (Midnight). Great customer service and one of the team members Travis was great to meet and order with. I loved the pizza I got and it was so fresh. Went with "3-4 toppings", and they were Green Bell Peppers, Pineapple, Onions, Black Olives. Prices are great and reasonable too! I hope to be back the next time I am staying in Waikoloa Village or near the area. read more

Best pizza in the area. Excellent taste and quality. If you're in the mood for pizza, this is the place to go.

In my experience, it's kinda hard to find good Pizza on the Big Island, but this is now one of my favorites. It's also nice to find a place near Waikoloa that doesn't close at 9pm! My family loved the pizza. All of the ingredients seemed fresh and the sauce was very tasty. The crust was also very good and was cooked to perfection. One thing to note that it is take out only and there is no seating available. I highly recommend trying Balsimo's! read more

The toppings are diced to the size of a pea. You can hardly tell to have ant toppings. The crust is great, but toppings and cheese are sparse. read more
