    The Rancher pizza. So so good!
    Julia P.

    We stopped here to grab pizza to go after being at Salt Pond. Yum so amazing. They were very friendly as well. Will definitely be back.

    Half white pizza, half pepperoni
    Jenny R.

    I almost hesitate to review this place because it is so good and I want to have it all to myself, but JP's Pizza deserves all the hype!! This pizza is in my top three ever of my entire life. It is a hole in the wall between Hanapepe and Waimea. Do not let the location fool you. This Pizza is out of this world!!! We went two times in a four day span, and it was our last meal on the island it was that good. They are open limited hours, so please check the Instagram for updated dates and times. The service we had from Chad was hospitality at its finest. He was very helpful with ordering and we enjoyed our conversation with him while we were waiting on our pizza. You can call in your Pizza. We ordered both times at the window and received our order in less than 15 minutes. We used the picnic benches outside to enjoy our meal. The white pizza is absolutely fantastic with the fresh basil, but the shining star is the crust. The crust on the pizza and the garlic knots is just phenomenal. The sauce that comes with the garlic knots you can tell is homemade and it is very flavorful. Seriously, I could not recommend this place enough. It is excellent, extraordinary, fabulous, any other adjective that you could think of that means wonderful. Give them a try if you're on Kauai.

    Sausage calzone with extra marinara sauce
    Steve G.

    I have been anticipating my return trip to JP's since my first experience in 2025. Had the sausage calzone again because it was so good the first time. Even with the anticipation it did not disappoint.

    Half mushrooms and Italian sausage
    Walt P.

    Good pizza. I love how flavorful the sauce is and the cheese is excellent. The veggies are fresh not canned. There is no dine in take out only. The service is great it's a small family owned business so everyone working is super attentive and friendly. The only thing that would make the pizza better would be a little crispier crust but that's how I like my pizza. I definitely recommend this place.

    Pinwheels

    2 years later and JPs is STILL the best pizza on island!! We drive across island just to try all the new items and love them all. And I can't get enough of their sauce!! These pinwheels are seriously next level! Hoping they stay on the menu!!!

    The man, the chef, the PIZZAIOLO!!!
    Aiyana P.

    NY. Pizza. PERIOD!!! I visited Kauai on a cruise and rented a car JUST to taste JP's Pizza. As a native New Yorker, I fell in love at first bite. My husband and I finished a pie in the rental... while still parked! It was so authentic, I purchased ANOTHER pie to take back to the ship for dinner (a WAY better option than the ship food)! 1st pie: 1/2 cheese, 1/2 peppers & mushrooms 2nd pie: cheese We ate them too quickly to take photos of the pies. P.S. I've been thinking about this pizza ever since.

    Half pepperoni and half white pizza
    Ricardo P.

    I'm quite particular when it comes to trying out pizza. However, we came to this pizza place after seeing the outstanding reviews online. Had to drive a long distance from the hotel but 100% worth it. The white pie was truly remarkable. The owner of the restaurant greeting us at the window was super nice and told us the entire story behind the restaurant and the chef. This helped give us some background into how amazing the pizza is. The ambience was pretty much all outdoors. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the mood for pizza while in this island.

    There are a few other mom and pop pizza places on the island. Most try too hard with too many toppings or their pizzas are plain gross. JP's Pizza is the right balance of ingredients and their pies are nothing but quality. My first time here I wanted to try the pepperoni and one of the fancier pies, but there was no way I was gonna buy two large pies for myself. Lo and behold, you can make half/half pizzas here! I got the pepperoni and white pizza. I asked for the pepperoni slightly crispy, which made it extra delicious. The mozzarella on the white pizza is much lighter and slightly saltier than regular mozzarella. All of this together with their wonderful pizza crust (which is more like a brioche) is epicurean goodness. Service is wonderful too! The owner and his family run the place, take good care of every customer and will honestly explain what each product is like. There's nowhere to dine in, but they have some tables and chairs on a makeshift patio. It rarely rains in Kaumakani, so pull up a chair under the west side Kauai sky and enjoy.

    Half Cowboy with the combo!
    Jen O.

    JP pizza Hands down the best pizza on Kauai! New York style, If you're looking for the real deal on Kauai this is it. We ordered the Cowboy Pizza and the Supreme. This isn't just a pizza joint, it's a labor of love. The crust is perfect, and the flavor is top-notch, and the crust is exactly how you want it to be. The owner John Paul is a true artist who puts his heart and soul into every slice. Plus, he and his dad are the kindest, most genuine welcoming people. Their passion for pizza and for their customers shines through. This is our go-to spot whenever we get a pizza craving, and we're so grateful for the hard work they put in to make the best pizza on the island. This is a small, family-run business, and he makes every pizza from scratch himself. It's a one-man operation. Because of this, it can take a little longer, but that's a good thing! Everything is made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care, so please be patient. Trust me, the quality is absolutely worth the extra time. Call first or check his instagram for updates on hours and Closing days. We can't recommend it enough!

My wife and I specifically came to the area to sample their beers and try their food, and found the beer to good/great while the food was OK. It opens at 11 on weekdays, and we arrived soon after, so found street parking easily. We were some of the first customers, and our choice of inside seating. The building is two stories, with the upstairs being used as an arcade (classic 80's pinball machines). The large bar is the center of the downstairs, and they sell shop memorabilia as well. Tried a 4 sampler flight (no discount for flight, just sum of the 5 oz beers chosen). Their most popular is the Lilikoi, which we had just tried at a restaurant a couple days before, so we skipped that. Instead we got: Chupa lager (Mexican cerveza which was refreshing), Wheat (which was my least favorite...kinda flat/limp with little flavor), Alaka'I Stout (my favorite, creamy and almost chocolatey), and a Sour with calamansi (which my wife liked the best, I thought it tasted like a shandy). As for food, we got two entrees. My wife got the Kalua Pork Sandwich ($22): pretty much all pulled pork sandwiches are called Kalua in Hawaii, no matter how it is made. That being said, this version was OK with the fries being very good (similar to Five Guys fries, fried in peanut oil maybe). I had my favorite: Loco Moco ($22) which was well prepared, and the white rice was good. But the beef patty was mediocre (tasted like a standard preformed food service patty from frozen...it wouldn't have stood out in a burger). The one egg was cooked well and I really liked the homemade gravy. There is a 3% credit card surcharge, and Toast is the payment processor.

I ordered two pasta dishes: Spinach Raviolis (with creamy marinara sauce) and Lasagna. The restaurant called to inform me that they were out of both the Raviolis and the traditionally-made Classic Lasagna. They offered to make two Seafood Lasagnas instead. I have to say that both the pizza and the lasagna were absolutely flavorful and delicious! For the pizza, I loved the taste of the fresh ingredients; each bite was super delectable. The pasta dish was also unique and tasty. I don't typically see restaurants offering a Seafood Lasagna, and the execution was top-tier in my book.
