NY STYLE man it's great ny pie. We did the pepp it was huge see pic and $31. They got the automated credit card thingee. Lots of beers incl domestic ultra & bud light. Easy parking and wonderful Hawi town. Plenty of seats inside and out. Nice people there and a good crowd of regulars. 20 and 30 somethings. It was a lot of fun. Well worth the trip from the Westin. Five stars all the way we had a good time, we drove up to the statue and then on the way back down the street We stopped at the market and bought some fruits to throw in the fridge at the hotel. You'll never find a scenic drive like this anywhere else you're kind of up in the mountains way north Hawaii Island, but the sea is everywhere and beautiful. read more

Went to the food truck at Kawaihae. The pizza and service was excellent. We were there about 6:30 and sat at the one outside table. The setting was in a parking lot beside the road across from the industrial part of the harbor but everything was fine. The crust was awesome as well as the toppings. Not a lot to choose from but the menu makes that plain. If you're looking for a great pizza at a reasonable price with wonderful people, this is the place! read more

We ordered a slice with truffle oil drizzle and before we knew it was missing the lady that took our order was letting us know a new slice was coming as we ordered it.

I have lived in Hawaii for 34 and believe me good pizza is hard to come by.Excellent pizza is rare. In their tiny space in Hawi town on the Big Island this couple is pulling it off.Daily they offer plain, pepperoni and a revolving special by the slice or whole pie. Optional toppings such as Mac nut pesto are brilliant ! In addition, a family member makes amazing mango lemonade which pairs perfectly with the offerings which also include a great Caesar salad and yummy Cinnamon Buns. read more

Been hoping a good pizza place would open up along the Kohala Coast. Saw their signs for ordering pizza by phone and looked them up. This is the real deal NY pizza. I've had it many times in NYC and this is it. Nice little outdoor space if you want to stay and eat. They just need an "Order Here" sign as there's several door/window things in the vicinity and it wasn't obvious (at least to me). Very minor. The lady making the pizza was very nice and after 15mins I was on my way with a whole pepperoni pie. You can fold the slice if you want to do the full NY thing. Very tasty when fresh. I'm also an aficionado of cold (refrigerated) pizza the next day. This pizza held up very well, never soggy. Definitely recommend K.O. Pizza for the best pizza on the island that I've had. Bring cash if you can. They take cards but cash helps I'm sure. read more

If you're craving authentic New York-style pizza on the Big Island, you must check out this amazing food truck serving some of the most authentic New York pizza I've ever tasted! The food is absolutely delicious, and the people working the truck couldn't be nicer. When I went, the Special of the Day was a truffle pizza and did not disappoint. The crust was crispy, the sauce was flavorful, and the truffly-goodness made it all pop. Definitely planning on making this a regular stop when I'm on the Big Island! read more

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.

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!
