On our way back from Haleakala sunset we were looking for a place for dinner and found this gem. Amazing food - we ordered the home made pasta and pizza. Everything was fresh made and taste delicious. Service was excellent - just can highly recommend this beautiful place. read more

Marlow is a must! What a gem in Upcountry Maui. Good friends on the island had recommended this place to us last year, but we didn't have a chance to go until our most recent visit a few weeks ago. And boy were they right...my husband & I loved it! Being that he's 100% Italian (and me being Italian by marriage hehe), we're very picky about our pizza! We decided to try their Margherita Pizza and it totally hit the spot and was cooked to perfection! Marlow actually specializes in artisan style, neapolitan sourdough pizza and uses locally sourced ingredients, so you know it's going to be fresh & tasty! They have a great cocktail & wine menu too, so we tried their Aperol Spritz which was balanced & refreshing, and much like the ones we've enjoyed in Italy. Big thank you and mahalo to Hailey P. for being so welcoming, and the whole staff, especially since we got there just in time (they were going to be closing the lunch service in just over 30min so we asked first if there was enough time for us, and they assured us that there was!). We ordered quick and were completely satisfied splitting the one classic and very flavorful pizza. We'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing space in Wailiku. Cute bar, great pizza and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I love Marlow, I have only come for breakfast. At first I was a little shy about the pricing, but the quality and the conversation make it worth it. Their croissant cinnamon roll is my guilty pleasure alongside the lox toast. I can't want to come back for pizza one day. Just waiting for someone to take me out for an arugala salad and funghi pizza, LOL. read more

Headed to Maui for the day and with our adventures taking us upcountry, we decided on Marlow for lunch and it didn't disappoint. The pizzas are fantastic, cooked over a wood burning oven. But don't stop there, definitely order the meatballs! There is ample parking in the lot. I believe you can also order food here and take it next door to Mahalo Aleworks to eat - now that's a win! read more

We came here for a family breakfast before our kids head back to college. They were out of most of their pastries by 9:15 am, so we opted for breakfast sandwiches. If you are a tea drinker (or not), try the Kula Fog. It has some lavender. This is a great spot to visit on an early Saturday morning, and then hit the Kula Farmers Market up the street. read more

I look forward to Marlow Mornings, the sourdough pastries(ham & cheese croissant, chocolate croissant,..) and quiches are sooo good and don't sit heavy in your belly. All the tasty morning beverages are great especially the Oaxan Mocha and Con Olio. The barista/cashier ladies(Lauren and Anna-Maria) are welcoming and set a warm tone for the morning. I have had a few moments of unusual clarity encouraged by the atmosphere. With the architecture, music, food, lattes, and friends there's no wonder why I look forward to Marlo's Mornings. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch during the week. Their cocktails looked delicious but we stuck to their iced tea. They had two options and both were delicious! Our group started with the meatballs. These meatballs were amazing. They were light and airy but packed with so much flavor. The sauce was just perfect. We decided to split two pies the calabrese and the braised pork. Just wow. These pies were amazing flavor bombs. The braised pork was so balanced with the spicy sauce and the lilikoi butter. The crust was super thin and crispy. Service was friendly and attentive. They helped us get out quick when we realized we were running short to get to our next stop. Wish we could have had more meals at Marlow but we will be back! read more

Food is beyond expectation! Steak is so tender and juicy! Prawns are so tasty because their sauce! Pizza's are delicious! You absolutely need to try their Gelato!! Service is awesome! Servers are friendly and very knowledgeable about their menu and the preparation of each dish!! The ambiance is very beautiful and accommodating! Even though the space looks small from the outside, you can sit comfortably and enjoy your meal! I highly recommend Marlow's! read more

Amazing food and service. We started by ordering a couple of their specialty cocktails. We then decided to share the chopped salad & Salsiccia pizza. Both the salad and pizza were amazingly good. My wife and I both agreed that this was one of the best places we had dined at while in Maui. read more

My girlfriends and I recently dined at Marlow and we were thoroughly impressed by the experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish--attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was incredibly tranquil, making it a perfect spot for an enjoyable meal. Food was 5 stars! I wanted to specifically call out a special shoutout to the the Funghi pie which prior have heard the rave about this pie from friends prior to going already! It delivered. Appreciate Marlow's menu overall showing a dedication to featuring local ingredients such as the lapa'au farms oyster mushrooms on this pie. Had a nice selection of wines as well to choose from. Highly recommend Marlow for anyone looking for a top-notch Italian dining experience on Maui. I'll definitely be returning! Great romantic date night spot or ladies get-together. read more

I didn't have a chance to take a pic but we ordered the gnocchi 2 different ways. First one was ordered off the menu. The sauce was rich and creamy...the gnocchi was pillowy soft with a nice chew and perfectly cooked. It went well with the chewy pancetta. The second one we asked for a custom order with their red sauce and mushrooms (no cream or cheese). Wow...the mushrooms gave the dish a different texture to go with the perfectly cooked gnocchi. This was the highlight food of our short trip to Maui. I'd highly suggest this dish if you're heading to Marlow or just go for the gnocchi! read more

Best meatball I've ever had! If it were socially acceptable to lick the bowl, I would have! Also had the braised Spanish octopus salad which was balanced, hearty, and seemed almost bottomless! So good. Service was great. Upscale food in an inviting, comfortable environment. A must-visit restaurant especially if you've just finished your adventure at Haleakala. read more

Waitress was less than friendly. The food seemed overpriced for the quantity, although tasty. They have added a 3% BOH (back of house) service fee to the bill, which i find egregious. With the open kitchen and open floor plan the restaurant was so noisy that it was hard to talk to the people at our table. We have had a couple of bad experiences at this restaurant in the past but keep going back due to the limited options in the area. We will not go again. read more

The whole experience on July 26th was fantastic and celebratory. We really splurged and had such a great time! For this meal, we opted NOT to get pizza, but instead assorted OTHER items, which come in the way of a tapas-sort-of-menu... small enough to try many, but plenty enough to share. Warmed olives, Kampachi collar, Tako Salad, blistered Shishito peppers..... a side of smashed potatoes, a flat-iron steak..... rounded out our savory dishes. Everything is SO FRESH and delicious! The stand out to me was the TRUMPET MUSHROOM PUREE that bedded the Kampachi collar. Such incredible taste and texture. Everything comes with fresh greens. Lots of olives, tomatoes on everything... all really wonderful and uber fresh. BUT DESSERT, specifically the Panna Cotta, with its cardamon granola, and the Olive Oil ice cream were absolutely TO DIE FOR. I am not even a dessert person but man oh man, were these items fantastic. This experience has changed my outlook on Marlow. Because of their impeccable execution and use of farm fresh and sourced local ingredients, I left walking on air, happily surprised by another recent turn-of-events at establishments I had given up on. My theory is, eat in the restaurant. Too much is compromised with take-out. MAHALO! read more

Every time I come to Marlow's, I'm reminded why it's one of my favorite spots upcountry. The food & coffee is consistently amazing. But what really makes the experience special is the team. Lauren and Kira went above and beyond on our last visit. They're friendly, attentive, and genuine care really stood out, which is rare to find these days. If you're on Maui and haven't been to Marlow's yet, make the drive to Kula. Between the incredible food, beautiful atmosphere, and staff it is well worth it! read more

Marlow serves up incredible Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza that's cooked to perfection in a brick oven. We ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza, and both were outstanding. The crust had that signature sourdough tang with a light, airy texture and a beautifully charred edge from the oven. It was crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside--exactly what you want from a well-made Neapolitan pie. The ingredients were clearly top quality--fresh, wholesome, and full of natural flavor. The tomato sauce was bright and simple, the cheese was rich and creamy without being heavy, and the pepperoni had just the right balance of spice and crisp. Nothing felt processed or overly greasy--just clean, honest pizza made with care. If you appreciate handcrafted, brick oven pizza, Marlow is absolutely worth a visit. read more

After spending the morning at Haleakalā National Park, we decided to have some drinks and lunch at Mahalo Aleworks. They have a food truck on site, but they also allow you to bring in food from Marlow, which is right next-door. We opted to order a pizza and focaccia bread from Marlow. It was very easy to order. You just placed the order online, and then they send you a text when it's ready to pick up. Then you go next-door to pick it up. Marlow is a super cute restaurant. I would have loved to eat inside! They also have a little gift shop, section with local items, which was fun to look at. I really wanted to order the white pizzas that I saw on the menu, but my husband is a red sauce guy, so we shared a pepperoni pizza. It was good, but I know I would've loved the white pizzas and I regret not trying one! read more

All these reviews are totally misleading. We saw on Yelp and Google these beautiful images of authentic pizza dough perfectly charred in an open wood oven pizza but that's not what we experienced. I believe they changed their dough recipe since the photos I saw of other customers or the settings of their oven was completely off. The dough was hard like a cardboard, no flavor, no texture, doesn't bend but break. Service was also mediocre. We enjoyed the drive there but do not recommend the place and we won't be visiting again. read more

I just had to share this to warn others. I've been a loyal customer at Marlow, but yesterday was a perfect example of a business that doesn't value its customers. Normally, I try to arrive by 1pm, but we got there around 1:20pm. They advertise that they're open until 2pm. The restaurant was maybe a third full, and people were still getting their food. We waited a few minutes at the "Please Wait to Be Seated" stand, but no one acknowledged us. Someone in line told us to put our names in at the counter. There was one couple waiting ahead of us. When we went to the counter, we were told they had to check with the server to see if she wanted to seat us. After a few minutes, the girl at the counter said, "So we won't be able to seat you." I explained that we drove all the way up the hill to eat there. Her response? "Oh, sorry about that." We left the restaurant at 1:30pm. Another couple behind us was also turned away and seemed very upset, commenting on how poor the business practice was. This isn't the first time I've experienced this. Another lunch visit, as we were finishing lunch and someone in my party tried to order a pizza to go at 1:55pm while the restaurant was still busy. The waitress said no -- the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Are you really open until 2pm, or not? If not, update your website. Turning away paying customers when the room is more than half empty is never a good business practice. I no longer feel comfortable recommending Marlow to friends. It's a trek to get there from the west side of the island.. only to be brushed off like a crumb on the table. Do better Marlow! If you can't accommodate customers at least be responsible about it and not shoo us away like you would a fly. read more

Food is good but overpriced. If you're starving after a day on Halealaka, it's great. But there service negatively impacts the overall experience. You can't get in without a reservation, unless apparently you know someone and then cut everyone in line (including reservations). The waitress took our order and gave us our check - didn't check in on anything outside of that. read more

Food was excellent. Service was just plain rude. The couple in front of us was waiting when we got there and they made them wait for about 10 minutes after we arrived despite having a lot of open tables and sat them at a table that was open when we got there- essentially making them wait for no reason it would appear. We actually asked if they were closing or something as the entire staff seemed to be intentionally just ignoring them (and us after we arrived). After they finally got seated we stood there for another five minutes (and no one else came in or was waiting) before anyone ever asked us how many in our party and then told us it would be another five minute wait - only to seat us at the table we had been standing next to the entire time since we walked in. They were only half full for lunch and seemed pretty slow so no idea why they treated people so unwelcomingly. They almost seemed annoyed that we were there. The food was fantastic but no smiles and no friendliness and we noticed it was the same for other tables. Our thoughts are they dislike tourists so maybe this is a local only place to go was our thought. We just wanted a nice lunch and this place had snooty service that really was pretentious for waitresses walking around in jeans and birkenstocks. Food five stars, service no stars! read more

Food is good but what really pissed me off was no refills on a five dollar cup of coffee.

Marlows is such a gorgeous spot upcountry with such great coffee and absolutely first rate food. I can walk from my house and I'm so grateful to have such a quality spot so nearby. Craft cocktails, a proper chopped salad available both lunch and dinner and such lovely food. Staff is wonderful, too. Great place to get hostess gifts etc. Check it out. Sat morning followed by farmers market which is right there is a treat. You gotta go! read more

After our super fun tour at Maui Alpaca, we had lunch at Marlow - a restaurant serving sourdough, Neapolitan style pizza in Pukalani, upcountry Maui. The restaurant is locally owned and named after the Chef/owner's youngest with his wife/co-owner of Marlow. The pizza pies are baked in Marlow's kiawe wood burning oven from Italy giving the pizzas the authentic charred crispy bottom with an airy and chewy crust. We ordered the coppa, a white pie, and the pepperoni. Both pizzas were incredible, but we especially loved the ciopinno with its plentiful Kauai prawns, kanpachi, and tako. The restaurant is bright and spacious and the service was friendly and great. Our experience was so wonderful, we returned for dinner and I have been recommending the restaurant to anyone headed to Maui. read more

Take out with a beer next door is a perfect match. The wood fired pizza was very traditional. The crust was amazing but not overwhelming the sausage, mushrooms, red sauce and garlic. While it was take out, inside was bright, clean, modern, and as delicious as the pizza. Great service when ordering and picking up after the text announcing the food was ready. We will probably eat in in next time. read more

All you need to know - best pizza on Maui! My family has been coming here once a year for the past few years and we all agreed Marlow's is the new winner. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed three of their pizzas. I'd vote 1. Salsiccia 2. Braised Pork 3. Margherita. The sausage on 1 is super, and I mean SUPER, flavorful. This with the caramelized onions was the table favorite. read more

This place is located in the area we would not normally go when we visited Maui. The ambiance is hip and trendy that reminds me of places in Mission in San Francisco. The service is extremely friendly and super helpful on any request you may have. We went with our baby and they are super accommodating and helped us to set up the table worked the best for family with baby. We also saw lots of families with young babies and kids there. The food is hitting the spot as far as pizzas and meatballs go. The pizzas are thin crust with fresh ingredients. Both sausage and braised pork pizzas taste phenomenal. The flavors are different and both are delicious. Octopus salad came with lots of octopus! And most importantly it was not over cooked! Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly with both flavors and presentation. Will definitely come back! read more

Where do I begin?? They were busy at 8:15 on a Saturday night but they were still able to seat us at the bar. I love the open kitchen because it's fun to watch our food being prepped right in front of our eyes and helps pass time if need be. Staff was friendly, we had Autumn as our server and she had amazing recommendations! The bartender made great conversation as well, and took care of us when needed. We started with the chopped salad which was absolutely amazingggg, I loved the lemon vinaigrette dressing and how you could tell everything was so fresh!! The portion sizes were perfect to share, gnocchi was huge and delicious! The highlight for me personally was the prosciutto white pie, sooo damn good cause I'm a truffle lover. We also sampled the ciopinno but that was underwhelming compared to the rest of our dishes - I so wanted it to be the cherry on top for us but it's okay, the rest made up for it! Dont skip over dessert, the sorbets are to die for - My favorite was the pistachio and olive oil with the honey & bee pollen on top- seriously a party in my mouth. Loved the atmosphere and the how clean the back of house staff was. Service was extremely quick and attentive. It was a great first time experience for me and I'm sure I'll be craving them again soon! read more

Great food. Great ambiance. First time we went even the servers were great. Recommend the meatballs, beets salad, all of the pizza we tried were solid. Can't go wrong with any of them. The second time we went on V-day, the server didn't seem very happy to be there. She did her thing then tried to have us put it the highest tip. We would go again though. read more

We had a great evening at Marlow!! I was a beautiful space with friendly and attentive staff. We celebrated my daughter's birthday and multiple staff said happy birthday and made her feel like the star of the show. The food was excellent- the pizzas were delicious and the appetizers were awesome too. I highly recommend Marlow! Definitely worth the drive to upcountry for the experience!! read more

So glad we found this place. Loved the atmosphere!! Great customer service. We were seated quickly and orders taken right away. We ordered the Kauai prawns. I'm not a fan of prawns with the head on them. Totally creeps me out. However, the chimichurri sauce on them was AMAZING. The family loved them. Our pizza was perfect. Best meal of this trip. read more

Everything is good here. Wait staff is super friendly and great space to be in. Salsiccia pizza, prawns, salad with buttermilk dressing are all standouts. Of course the olive oil gelatos delicious read more

Protip: The restaurant is small and popular, so try to make a reservation or expect a wait. You're allowed to get half scoops of the ice cream flavors which is SO generous. Highlights: The food was amazing as was the service. The star of the show was definitely the Braised Pork Red Pie because of the lilikoi butter mixed with the braised pork. It rivals being the best pizza I've ever had. I enjoyed the cappuccino gelato the best, but the olive oil was really interesting too. The restaurant itself is also beautiful and well-decorated. I'd return here in a heartbeat. Lowlights: The burrata was a complete disappointment as it was truly just flavorless cannellini beans with some burrata on the side. I had high expectations for the pistachio, but it oddly just tasted like almond. read more

What an amazing experience from start to finish! We sat at the counter to watch the artistry in the kitchen. Our servers were incredibly friendly. Their meatball is so perfectly cooked and flavorful, with great sauce. The chopped salad pairs with it nicely, and our martinis were well made as well. We then moved to a heavenly pasta special, along with a delicious prosciutto and pomegranate white pizza and a perfectly cooked local fish. I would return in a heartbeat. read more

Stopped by this local gem based on the reviews. Marlow's did not disappoint. We split a chopped salad and the Margherita pizza with added local mushrooms. Pricey but excellent quality. We ate every bite and it was delicious. Service was excellent also. Cute little strip mall also housed a brew house which looked interesting. I will say the Marlow vibe seemed better suited to lunchtime. Not really a dinner destination unless you want something super casual, but definitely consider takeout for dinner! read more
