Boston's Pizza is one of my favorite pizza place in Hawaii! They always serve great pizza. I highly recommend everyone to try a pizza from there!

The western and meat lovers with wings
Billy G.

I have no clue if other Boston pizza have wings but I stopped to get gas and was hungry so I was going to grab a slice on the way to a friends when I noticed they had wings so I ended up getting a slice and wings. The wings were cooked perfectly good with or without sauce. I had the Westerner slice it's spicy and sweet it was delicious. The kids that were running the place were nice and fast at their job I was in and out within minutes. I asked if they could leave my slice in the oven to make it crispy and it was perfect when it came out. The sitting situation is small inside, they have about three tables to sit at but the beach park is just down the road and let's face it we live in Hawaii and 95% of the time weather is great so go to the beach eat pizza and wings not sure how you can not love that.

Next to the fast station, same lot.

They make good pizza! It's that simple. Can be a little pricey, but has that homemade taste and look. Good ingredients and staff is pretty friendly. It might be hard to find if you've never been here. It's at the gas station parking lot. Parking lot is small, but most people aren't staying parked for more than a few minutes.

A reliable option in Hawaii Kai near 7-11, Boston's Pizza is a small pizza spot with a solid variety of options. The place itself is small with an entrance that leads to the counter, where there is a case of pizza options and a register to check out. There is a small parking lot in the front but people are usually coming and going quickly from the spots to go in and grab pizza. Each time we have been, the service has been efficient and the people working have been pretty laid back. The pizza itself is on the thinner side but pretty large. The prices are a bit high for a slice of pizza but the quality is consistent. Our favorites are the spinach and garlic and Boston's Special pizzas. Both are flavorful with a good amount of toppings added on. We'll be back and recommend this spot for anyone looking for a regular pizza place!

In Hawaii it's always hard to find genuinely good East Coast style pizza, but thankfully a chance situation of convenience helped us find this one. I had been to some of their other locations, and just didn't like them for whatever reason. The pizzas are great here, which may be from the staff that makes them. These are thin style pizzas, the sauce is on the sweet side, with soft crust without being gooey or soggy (some pet peeves). I tried slices of the veggie and plain on the first visit; slices are a 1/4 of a pie which is fun. Just to see if it was still good, we ordered a fresh plain on another occasion and loved it. Prices are reasonable for their pies, with various toppings and combinations offered or make your own. It's a tiny spot with a hand full of tables inside; I love that the staff are always watching fun movies to pass the time. It's definitely more of a to-go place. It's easily located in Hawaii Kai, making it a neighborhood spot, right at a gas station so it's easy to bring home.

Pizza is always good here, love that the service is fast, you pick your pizza at the counter and they rewarm it in the oven so that it's fresh again! 12/2024 Recently they had wings so we tried it and loved it! The outside was crispy and the inside was moist!! Thought it would've been frozen wings but it didn't seem like it , would definitely order it again and now we don't have to stop of Safeway to get some wings!

Absolutely delicious! I had the spinach & garlic slice! I'm not a local, I was on vacation from California. I have to ask what is the sauce so I can attempt to make this delicious pizza?!

(Tookout 10/30/24 WE @ 1:30pm and one previous time): Boston-style pizza in Hawaii... I'm game! It was Game 5 of the 2024 MLB World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, and I wanted to stay home this time to watch the game, so I decided to walk to Hawaii Kai's Boston Pizza down at the corner for a simple dinner solution instead of walking to Kona Brewing Co. almost two miles away as I did for the previous two games. I loved pizza to no end and always attempted to try any parlor I found wherever I was at. And, this gave me the opportunity to further explore the cuisine in and around Hawaii Kai. As for "Boston" in the name, I couldn't find anything definitive why. Was this Beantown pizza worth a try out here on an island in the Pacific Ocean!? PURCHASE 19" Meat Lover's Specialty Pizza w/Jalapeños ($33.38 + $4.78): Gigantic! Built with bacon, ham, Italian sausage, pepperoni, Portuguese sausage, and red sauce, in addition to jalapeños because I felt it needed some kind of vegetable, this gave me immediate meat sweats as I gazed upon it. With the option of having it sliced into 4's, 8's, or 16's, I chose the latter. I picked up my first slice and the weight of the toppings made it limp. Once I guided it into my mouth, the meatgasm began! Everything was fresh, and I was able to distinctly taste the bacon, Italian sausage and Portuguese sausage. The jalapeño added a nice contrast and spiciness. The crust was thin and needed to be thicker to handle all of the toppings. Surprisingly, it had a pandesal taste which I loved! I was able to make this last for a couple of days which saved me some money. However, this had to be the most expensive whole pizza I've ever bought. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=6cEnt-6yLVVlR6lXTxzRsA SERVICE I entered, easily walked up to the front counter, placed my order with a tall young man, paid, and waited around for about 15 minutes before he called my name when my pie was ready. Everything was easy-peasy - mahalo! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) Located on a busy corner that shared the spot with a gas station and a 7-Eleven, there were a few spots. I walked, so this wasn't an issue. Otherwise, there were plenty of spots along the main residential drag of Pepeekeo Pl. but none along the high-trafficked street of Hawaii Kai Dr. - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Basically a takeout place with a couple small chairs/tables, some random stuff stored in a corner, a display case https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=FywKJ_8-bP32byoV3fZWWA where you also placed your order, a small waiting area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=iwGdHN8fEm9NeBd3lWkSIw where one of the price boards https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=jNVReo8o6731fUd3d5Y43A was located, and an assortment of framed pictures https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=D6wP8WorlVtknanQrnuihQ of Boston sports teams hung on the wall. Decent natural lighting came through the front door and window while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while a radio played music in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=khXJY1CEQ6dCggydX22MFA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I loved the simplicity, straightforwardness, and proximity of Hawaii Kai's Boston Pizza that I would certainly return. The pizza's size was its attraction while the taste was fine but nothing special, the prices definitely on the higher end, and the service was but honestly nothing was a I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $40.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Big red whole pizza!!!
Suri S.

Overall, Boston Style Pizza is great if you like that thin pizza kine. My personal favorite is the Big Red if I'm feeling like I want more veggies and if I'm in the meat mood, I'll do Meat Lovers. Some of the pizza slices Individually can be hit/miss depending on what time you're coming. Some days have tasted fresher/better than other times. Service has been overall good and easy to call in your order for takeout. It does take some time so make sure to call ahead.

My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

Legit pizza by the slice - excellent cheese slice which is the best way to judge pizza. The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.

Located in the former Outback Steakhouse on Ala Moana Blvd., San Paulo serves classic American breakfast dishes like eggs benedicts and omelets, but also features a signature Brazilian breakfast as well as salads, sandwiches, and pastas. The restaurant is large and spacious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the slow cooked beef short rib eggs benedict, and it was delicious! I also enjoyed the pancakes which were cooked perfectly - fluffy with a crisp edge. The restaurant is perfect for large groups and can accommodate up to 140 guests. Validated parking is available in the structure for $5 for 4 hours.

Not kid-friendly, rude hostess, bland marinara…read more I was staying near this restaurant on vacation with a 3 year old toddler. For anyone who doesn't have a 3 y.o., they can be very picky eaters. Since Sao Paolo was in walking distance, I called to ask if they serve a child's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which the girl on the phone confirmed. I reiterated that I was asking about a children's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which she confirmed. I asked a third time that it would be spaghetti and plain red sauce (nothing spicy, no meat bits, etc), and got a "yes." I placed an order, waited 15 minutes and walked down there to pick it up. The hostesses were friendly and I paid $18 (plus 10% tip) for the small bowl of pasta. They asked me how my day was going, and I joked that it would be better now, since I could finally give my kid his favorite "red spaghetti." I walked back to my hotel room to feed my child, but when I opened the container, I let out a loud frustrated sigh when I saw a bowl of penne and marinara, not spaghetti. Again, this is for a TODDLER, and my toddler only eats spaghetti, not penne. In frustration, I called Sao Paulo and explained the situation. When I told the young hostess (who obviously doesn't have children) that my toddler doesn't eat penne, he only eats spaghetti, she actually laughed at me on the phone, which I found to be very rude. I told her this is not funny, that I'm desperately trying to feed my picky toddler on vacation, and that I specifically asked for spaghetti - several times - on the phone. She said she would have to consult her manager, which I found odd, because honestly, we're talking about probably 50 cents worth of pasta to this restaurant, which I paid $18 for. That's a 3,500% profit. After putting me on hold for several minutes, the hostess told me they would give me another children's portion of actual spaghetti at no extra charge. That "no extra charge" part was emphasized to me, like they're making a great sacrifice by giving me another 50 cents worth of pasta. I also looked at their kids menu online while trying to resolve the situation, and it says "perfectly cooked pasta" with marinara, NOT penne, so I don't understand their problem here. If their kids menu had said "penne" specifically, I would understand how this was my mistake, not theirs. My wife volunteered to get the replacement spaghetti and marinara because she could tell I might not be very polite to the hostess for laughing at me on the phone. She came back with a second container of... PLAIN spaghetti with NO marinara sauce, which again, my toddler would not eat. Our only solution was to rub the penne on the spaghetti to get as much marinara on it as possible. (The things parents do for their kids...) My toddler then ate some. I would estimate there was probably 10 cents worth of marinara sauce on the penne. So Sao Paolo saved themselves 10 cents by giving me dry replacement spaghetti. While all this happened, my toddler had a 30 minute meltdown in our hotel room because his dada had promised him his favorite "red spaghetti" when I first placed the order, only to get screwed by Sao Paolo twice. I believe the manager at Sao Paulo gave us dry spaghetti on purpose as a sort of f-you to us. This was a very mean-spirited thing to do to a family traveling with a young child, even if we're just a bunch of stupid haole. It was definitely not keeping with the "aloha spirit." I would remind all employees at Sao Paolo that they are supposed to practice Kokua and Lokomaika'i, even to mainlanders. If you're a parent with a picky eater child, don't count on Sao Paolo restaurant to listen to you or care about your situation. They are actively rude to and dismissive of parents traveling with young children. They will act like giving you 50 cents worth of pasta is a big deal, even if their mistake caused the whole problem in the first place. BTW, I ate the "perfectly cooked" penne. It was overcooked and mushy (the pasta fell apart while I ate it), and the "house-made" marinara was bland. It tasted like canned Chef Boyardee.

Great place to get pizza and cannoli!…read more My boyfriend and I decided to stop by one Saturday night and was pleasantly satisfied with what we ordered.

They also have a private parking lot, which is always a plus. Service was good, and they offer pizzas in addition to their pasta dishes. I ordered the Linguini Pink Scampi, which was quite tasty. The pasta was generously coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce, with several large shrimp nestled throughout. The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could have been better, but we'd definitely consider coming back again to try some of the other dishes.
