    Garden Salad with pesto lemon dressing
    Sean N.

    The food was broke da mouth good. Great crust, fresh ingredients, very tasty. The service was awesome. Garden salad with pesto lemon dressing. Had a 1/2 Italian pizza with the other 1/2 a deluxe special with anchovies all over. Winnah winnah awesome pizza dinnah!!

    Caprese pizza - fresh basil and balsamic glaze make it perfect!

    It would help if they mentioned they are inside another business, since there was someone sitting in front of their logo on the window. But it was worth hunting for! Their sauce seemed too sweet, until the spice kicked in after a minute. Their crust seemed too thin, until the chewy density proved to hold up so well. It didn't look like enough cheese, but it was really actually perfect. Service for take-out was sweet and prompt. I can't say anything about the ambiance or any other food items, but I would go back for another pizza in a heartbeat.

    Passable pizza in Hilo. We needed something quick to have in our B&B after a long day at Volcanoes NP - our teen jumped on Yelp and selected Hilo Pizza Company. We called and ordered two large pizzas - pepperoni and bruschetta - for pick up, along with a chocolate chip cookie and a fountain soda. We drove up to the brightly lit plaza which houses HPC in the drizzle and the fog. The pizza was ready within the 25 minutes they promised it would be. The establishment was small but elegant, and the service was friendly. Total was a little over $50 before tip, and we paid cash. Back in our room, we popped open the pizzas and enjoyed them. They were fresh but didn't blow me away - I preferred the bruschetta, the others enjoyed the pepperoni more. Strangely enough, both pizzas tasted better the next day, which meant we didn't have to buy dinner the following evening! So I am glad we ordered from Hilo Pizza Company!

    Nothing much was open in the area when we came back from watching the sunset at Mauna Kea, so we opted for pizza. The staff was very lovely and ambiance felt "homey" with the way they chatted with customers. $21 for an 18 inch pepperoni pizza was a great deal - just perfect for 2 hungry people. Pizza was good and had a nice crust. Self-served soda machine (hence free refills) was a plus!

    Now look at this dryed out poor baby...please come back to the Italian place of pizza....

    I am from New Jersey...I am half Sicilian and half Hawaiian...now I use to come to this place when they started to open, my brother whom recommend this place with such high regard...I had to try it..I was very happy to find a place that can put anchovies on my pizza, a lot a cheese where it is almost falling off the pizza, i love that you can bend and eat it eat it too. Now fast foward to the present, I decided that I wanted to come down to our favorite pizza place and no faces were familar, the boss was not there, normally you will see him drinking a coke out side, I ordered our Pepperoni extra cheese, it looked like they forget to add some extra cheese...I confronted the gent, and he just looked at me like I had two heads..Here is what two pizza's one was the old one and now look at this poor dried out guy over cooked.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE, I have a bad day, pizza, I lost my job pizza time, my girlfriend left me, you know what comes next. The people are always so nice and the owner is always a comfort to talk to. Music goes hard too. Id give it 10 stars if I could, best pizza on the island.

    Ordered 3 pizzas for our Pizza party. First time ordering and couldn't get through. Come to find out, the entire day only 2 people were working. Once tried their 3 flavors, we enjoyed it!

    Large Chicken pesto pizza with mushrooms and red onion

    Great, friendly service. We got a large chicken pesto and added mushrooms and red onions. The crust was very crispy and it delicious!

    Half Bruschetta, half Reuben.

    If we lived in the area (we came over from O'ahu to visit family), this would be our go-to pizza place. In fact, we came here twice in three days because we loved the pizza that much! Nice crispy crust, not too thick, not too thin - just perfectly right. As a pizza snub, I first was resistant to my husband's pick of the Reuben. We got the Bruschetta and Reuben toppings and they each were oh so ono. In fact, for our second visit, we just got the Reuben and were in pizza heaven. My husband's cousin, who lives in Hilo and had not heard of this place, said she will be a new regular. Highly recommended!

    We came here twice and both times pizza was on point. We recently traveled to NY and had such great pizza there and this place is the closest we could find to the pizza we had in NY city. It is so affordable and staff is super friendly. Will return again for sure.

    Fresh fast great pizza. Small little shop, no sign outside so I drove right past it at first. Had to really look for it. The best way to spot it is the crowd of people eating and hanging out the door. Only service 1 size pizza or by the slice. But the selection by the slice is pre-selected. I went to order and they said they would do a split pizza because my daughter only wanted pepperoni and I wanted to add pineapple and jalapeño to my half. I must of had a new a new teammate because I the middle of my order another teammate had to come take over. I explained to her what I was wanted. I thought the prize was high but the. Again everything in Hawaii is high, however the mix up was I ended up getting 2 pizzas. Opps. They were going to reimburse me money but hey the pizza was good, and how doesn't love leftovers. So we boxed up the extra pizza after sharing a couple extra slices with our other friends and the pizza made the trip all the way to Honolulu to share with our family that couldn't come to the big island. The only downside is I wish they had more than 1 size, or maybe more choices when it comes to the premade slices.

My go-to drink I got 3 days in a row while I was back home was the Iced Breve - espresso with cream, with no sweetener & no added flavor. It was perfect for me. I wish I got the large every day I was there. Because I was busy with things throughout the day. It kept me alert & awake with no crash (which most coffee does to me :( ) - but the breve from here didn't. For those watching their sugar intake, or wanting a keto-friendly drink with a good balance of espresso coffee & cream fat, I highly recommend this. All the other coffee shops I went to while on Oahu, I couldn't find breve on the menu. I first tried this place a while back in 2017, my cousin brought us here. And got the Iced Toddy, cold brewed coffee, which was way too strong for me at that time. We went inside this time, it's a small shop. It's a drive-thru as well, so it's perfect when it's raining out. Service is 5 stars as well. All of the drinks we got were onoliscious, no complaints. I miss this place. I will do my best to make my own at home till I come back. Mahalo & Alohaaa!

The waitress spoke really soft and was cool and collected. I ordered the fried chicken thighs with Lilikoi sauce, brown rice, and a side salad. My husband got the lite bite curry with brown rice and a side salad. Water and coffee were served in custom White Guava tumblers. We each got a Hawaiian roll with a delicious Lilikoi butter. To my surprise, the side salad was a full generous portion, not the tiny side salad that restaurants usually give. It was a proper salad with fresh local greens, sliced cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and another white shredded vegetable that I think was radish. My chicken was delicious and the portion of that was generous as well. I tasted my husband's curry but didn't really like the flavor. It was different, like a sweeter flavor than other curries I've tried before. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I enjoyed the large salad and all the Lilikoi things - butter, dressing, and sauce.

He could have packaged it all differently, but I know those to-go containers are not the greatest for the environment, so that must have been the factor. But the beef patty and chicken... they were large, so we were really looking forward to them. But they were so bland. Not even salt or pepper, no sauce, garlic powder, nothing. I couldn't even chop up the chicken for my salad, as I was only given a singular half ounce container of dressing. They do have Girl Scout cookies for sale, and I'm sure those would be fine.

We didn't think of anything when we saw it the first time. By just looking at the name of it though, my immediate reaction was, "Is this a kombuchas bar??" Well, it is but it's not just kombuchas they serve; it's more than that. The breakfast/brunch dishes they serve (although they don't have a huge selection) are quite diverse. I do incorporate a lot of vegetarian/vegan diet into my daily meal routine so when I saw the Verdant Vegan I simply couldn't skip it. As my daughter and I usually split a plate when we dine together she agreed to this option of mine. Glad we did. This plate has all sorts of goodness included in it. Sautéed veggies, house-made lentil walnut chorizo, ginger beet kraut, fire-roasted jalapeno cashew crema, fire-roasted tomato salsa, and it's topped it off with sprouts. This whole thing comes with either purple sweet potato home fries or red rice (which we went with the purple sweet potato fries and ended up getting a side red rice. We also got the side kimchi and one egg sunny side up.) And we shared a 16oz Ceremonial Matcha latte as well. This vegan plate is way more than vegan. It's mighty as hell. For those who are still not sure about vegan options will definitely second guess it for something that isn't vegan/vegetarian. It's truly nutrition packed in so many different ways. If I lived close to this cafe, I would eat here once a week to enjoy this delightful meal. I am not kidding. I enjoyed the matcha latte very much although my daughter rated it as "okay". She likes her matcha in a very particular way so it unfortunately didn't impress her. This is not to say that she disliked it. She said it wasn't bad either. This place is a "walk in, order upfront, pick a table where you want to sit and one of the staff will bring your food to you" style cafe. Water is self-served. Once you are done with your meal you'll put your dirty dishes in the designated tub. I like this efficient style of serving food. This place has great vibes as well. A bit hippie-ish where bright dark colors such as purple and red are incorporated into the interior. There is even a stage where bands perform on certain days/times. Quite cool-looking. If you are visiting Hilo soon then put this place on your "must visit" restaurant list. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and quality food will entertain you for sure.
