I have had pizza in the People's Republic of China, all over Europe, Africa and the USA. I am here to testify that Black Rock Pizza in Captain Cook is now my all time favorite. Their homemade sauce and dough is phenomenal. The drinks are great! My favorite is the black sand margarita. The staff is wonderful.. so far we have eaten here twice on our stay. read more

My husband and I love pizza, so on our last night on the Big Island we decided to grab pizza before our manta ray night swim. We ordered one small pizza to go and were happy to see how many options they had. Unfortunately for us, a lot of them included pork, which we don't eat. Still, I picked one pizza I was really curious about, and I was pleasantly surprised when they had no problem swapping pepperoni for chicken. That flexibility is always appreciated, and it never felt like we were limited just because we don't eat pork. We didn't dine in, but I noticed they have a really interesting cocktail menu, which fits the island vibe perfectly! To be honest, my husband wasn't expecting much, pizza isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for, right? That's what we assumed. But wow, we were wrong. About 40 minutes later, back at our hotel (after a shower and everything), we finally sat down to eat, and the pizza was still amazing. Crunchy crust, great texture, and full, balanced flavors. We're no longer on vacation, but we still talk about this place and easily rank it in our top three food spots from our Big Island trip, which says a lot, because we're serious about pizza. If we ever come back to Hawaii (and I believe they have locations on other islands too), we will 100% be getting pizza from here again. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're visiting Hawaii read more

Black Rock Pizza - Captain Cook - Pesto balls are amazing and a custom pizza we put together ourselves! - Pizza Near Me - Captain Cook, Hawaii

We were very hungry and saw great reviews on this pizza place so we stopped by. The restaurant has great ocean view outside, and seems pretty clean. Server is friendly. We ordered a small loco moco pizza, and made a half and half pizza with not so Hawaiian and another specialty with the same spicy marinara sauce, forgot the name. Loco moco pizza is good, with running yolk fried egg on top. Not so Hawaiian and the other one is good but not impressive. I remember the not so Hawaiian being cheesy, which is a plus. Best dish is the short rib roll with beef au jus, loved it! It's a nice pizza place if you want pizza on your way, would stop by if I want some pizza again. read more

We were lucky enough to make it back to Hawaii and to black rock pizza. So it wasn't the bike ride that made us think this was a 5. It is definitely a gem. Home made sauces--delicious, we had a pesto ranch dressing, i don't think I've had that combo anywhere before Fresh salad Pesto roll appetizer--think, bite size calzone with pesto instead of red sauce stuffed with chicken, bacon, spinach, mozzarella. With pepperoni on the bottom. Yummy! 3 pizzas, all great. Nice selection of drafts Friendly and super helpful wait staff Amazing view And friendly cats on the patio! read more

FOOD - Medium custom pizza: half cheese, half pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeños. The pizza was really good. 4.5/5 - BBQ Pork with Pineapple Slaw Za'co: mango BBQ pork, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and pineapple coconut slaw. Good flavor but the "bread" got soggy which also made it messy. It would have been a lot better if it was crispier. 4/5 SERVICE: The service was really good. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. 5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would definitely come back. Everything was good and the price was fair. I recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Heard about this spot from a local friend. Told me to get the ribeye cheesesteak. And boy was he right! That thing was so awesome! Crispy edges and lot of flavor. We ordered the pepperoni rolls and Jalapeno balls to go along with it. All solid choices. The server was a great help in explaining what we were looking at as well. They had a good amount of beers on tap to choose from. And I really liked the outdoor seating. It was cloudy and felt good out there. So if you're looking for some good pizza, this is the spot. read more

Parking can be tight but if you don't go during peak hours it should be okay. It's a small lot. They've got some great signs lining the walls that I wish I could have at home myself too! You can mix pizzas if you order a medium or up, so I tried the kanak attack and local boy with BBQ glaze on top. It was loaded! Was able to eat most of it but took a few slices home for lunch the next day. The service was friendly, and the pizza was ono! Very pleasantly surprised to have this place in my neighborhood. read more

Came here for a late lunch and tried the veggie pizza and ube cannolini. Both were pretty decent, I personally wish there were thin crust options as well but it wasn't an issue. Service was friendly and the ambience is quite nice. There is an option to sit outdoors with the beautiful ocean view as well. read more

The pizza here is a decent 6.8/10 service INSIDE the restaurant is always good no complaint there. But what's going to keep me from patronizing this business in the future, from someone who's been coming in at least once a week for a while now, is the fact they've enlisted or subscribed to an a.i. service to take their phone orders. The ai service is trash, companies that do this are clear in their intentions they don't value their employees and the difference human touch makes in customer service. As long as BRP is using an artificial answering service for their phones I'll never spend a dime here again. read more

The pizza was amazing!! The artisan crust was super crisp and delicious! Service was great and fast! My family enjoyed the outdoor seating! Definitely don't miss this place! read more

Stopped in for " The choice is yours" Za at Black Rock. Beautifully done pie with all our or toppings we requested and the fact they have vegan cheeze as a substitute...Let's Fuggin' Go!!!!

Pass the Dutchie from the left hand side with some Black Rock Pizza to make all your Aloha Dreams Come True! read more

Best pizza on the planet! They just need a happy hour to make it perfect. The drink prices are typically over priced as usual for Hawaii. Seriously great pizza and only good in Captain cook the original location. Maybe they should care about their local loyal contingency- and give them a discount for their loyalty...? Kama'aina specials? read more

We were told that this is some of the best pizza on the Big Island. We were not steered wrong! We stopped on our way to the airport. And OMG the Black Sand Margarita is a must! They have sandwiches now that are made with their pizza crust and so delicious I got the Italian. Took half on plane with me and was able to eat it cold the next day and it was still good. My husband got the spicy pepperoni. He said it was so good he didn't have to add red pepper flakes to it. He got the 8 inch and still took half of the pizza on the plane and ate it the next day. Our waitress was super friendly and all the staff seemed to really love the restaurant they work for. Because everyone was happy and it wasn't a forced happy. Also when there check out the bathrooms! They have some hilarious reading signs in there read more

Best pizza in town. Not that there's anything else. But considering the lack of competition, they still produce a quality pie with quality ingredients. As it tasted great 3 days later read more

Delicious pizza! Great service. Quick and very attentive. We ordered multiple personal pizzas for a party of 6. The local boy was so good! The toppings included kalua pork, ham, bacon, onion, mushroom and mozzarella on a red sauce. 5/5 stars! Everyone enjoyed their pizzas. We all appreciate the great service. We are on Big Island for a week visiting family and we will definitely come again! read more

highly recommend for takeout!! pizza is so good- If you have to wait inside order the lemonade!

My review is strictly on the food. We called in an order for pick up on our way home from Volcano park. They close at 9, and we were going to be getting there right around 8:45. I called in our order. It was super loud in the background and the lady on the phone had a hard time hearing me. Our food was ready upon arriving. We ordered the pepperoni rolls which were absolutely delicious. After eating our meal we wish we had just done two orders off those. We also ordered a small pie. After reading previous reviews I had a different expectation in my mind. Our pizza had minimal sauce on it, but a good portion of meats and veggies. I am not sure if I would dine in here. Between the phone call and pick up it seems overly loud, the kind of place you couldn't really have a conversation with the people at your table. read more

Our last full day in Hawaii and we stopped here for lunch based on other reviews. Not disappointed at all. The service was great and the atmosphere was just fine. I grew up on Buffalo pizza and now am eating Detroit style pizza. I have to say that the pizza I had and the GF pizza my wife got compare very favorably to those. They were both delicious. I recommend Black Rock for any pizza lover. read more

Fantastic Pizza just sucks you have to pay to park, but still worth it. We will be back! Great service and great Food! Fair prices!

Touted as one of the best pizza spots on The Big Island... And it lives up to the hype! There are two locations on the island and a third location over on Maui. The Black Rock Pizza in Captain Cook was just down from where the rental was that we were staying in. We called in a takeout order on our way back from Punalu'u Beach... For those who may not know Punalu'u Beach is a beautiful black sand beach frequented by Hawaiian green sea turtles... We grabbed a couple the choice is yours (aka build your own) pies, an order of garlic butter breadsticks and the signature order of Big Island Balls (bread balls stuffed with Jalapeno, bacon, and cheese). The order was ready on our arrival. Service was great. Everything was hot and fresh. The parking at the Captain Cook location is limited in front of the shop, but there's additional parking across the road. The pizza was good. Not going to lie...I have my true favorites back home...but it's always a great thing to try some local fare. I would have loved to have tried a couple of their Local Kine Pizzas, but alas... I had bland travel partners. smh It is what it is. It probably doesn't need to be said...but for me the star of the show was the Balls! Lol These are a must try! So good! Some would consider it pricey, but that's the cost of eating out on the island... You probably spend $600ish+ on economy round trip tickets to get here. Spend a little more...eat out...eat local...and enjoy your vacation. If you're in the Captain Cook area check out Black Rock Pizza! https://blackrock.pizza/captain-cook read more

Worst customer service on island; pizza wasn't bad though if a bit overpriced for the size.

We ordered through door dash where we have the same expectations as eating in the restaurant, we ordered two 8 inch pizzas and a Greek salad, the pizzas were okay, ordered crispy crust but the crusts were not crispy, the most disappointing was the $16.66 salad plus $2 for anchovies salad, it looked like any other restaurants side salad, the amount of greens and Greek toppings were minimal. We received a $4 credit. We would not rank this restaurant as a top choice. Our Dominos pizza last week was superior to this experience read more

The food was amazing. We had the Kanak Attack pizza. The cheese was sooo creamy. Just a fabulous pizza. And our server, Pea, even being a Seahawks fan, was great. Super friendly, nice, and knew the menu well and made substitution suggestions we'd not even considered. Music was great, the signs on the wall are funny. Great experience!! Thanks Pea and crew! read more
