This establishment is fairly large and have a regular seating tables area and a bar area. The bar area was pretty popping with people watching the on-going football game. (they do have tvs all over the bar so you should be able to watch in most seats. ​ It is fairly cold in here, like I was kind of freezing and had to grab a jacket from the car. Our server was super friendly and we got our orders in: We ordered: * Brick Oven "Super" Pizza: 7/10. We ordered this without black olives because I do not like black olives. This was okay. There were many toppings but since there were so many, there were much less of each topping (which meant that you'd really only get a tiny sprinkle of like beef for example). I felt like the pizza was just mediocre. The crust was unique, a twisted shape but it just made the crust more dense and not as enjoyable to eat for me as I liked a fluffier doughy crust. I also felt that there weren't enough cheese for the amount of toppings on this pizza. * Pepperoni, Sausage, and Jalapenos Pizza: 7.2/10. My friend ordered this so I didn't really eat as much of it. It was ok, same complaints regarding the crust. I think due to it having less toppings the cheese ratio was much better this time around. * Buffalo (Hot) Wings: 9/10, my friend said the main star of the show would be the wings and he was not lying! These wings were large and meaty compared to the tiny wings you'd often get at bars and most establishments. They were fried to perfection and tossed in the chosen sauce. The buffalo was perfect and I enjoyed it with ranch. * Lemon Pepper: 8.2/10, same positives, I just don't care for the lemon pepper flavor. * Garlic Parm: 9.2/10: same positives, I love the garlicky flavor of this wing along with the cheesiness from the parm. * Chicken Alfredo Pasta: 4/10. We do NOT recommend this. The chicken quality was terrible, it was like stringy. We think it is the premade chicken meant to be shredded for pizzas recooked into the pasta. The alfredo sauce was also not very good, just tasted poorly made and overly peppered. Honestly I would totally come back for the wings and only the wings. Recommend this spot to grab some wings and watch a game with some friends!

Okay let me first start off my saying I am sad because I had really high hopes for this place :(…read more My family and I walk in, 3 adults and a toddler, the inside is full with 2 families of 6 still waiting as well to be seated. there were about 3 staff members just hanging out on the left side as we entered just staring at us, no greeting nothing, till my son walked up to them to let them know how many of us were dining in. The girl looked all confused, moved more slow than my toddler (sorry, but NO sense of urgency whatever). We'll after 10 mins of waiting we realized that it was because the guy who I guess was checking people in was in the bathroom. but geez, she couldnt helped him out. We asked if there was outside seating as the inside was already crowded and he checked and there was a table ready for us. Our waitress came gave us menus, didnt ask for our drink order than left. She came back maybe about 5-8 mins later to take our order, not before we requested if we could get water. Fastforward, like i stated at the beginning it was crowded on the inside when we walked in, well we get our food and mid way thru realize that our drinks were never filled, no one came out to ck on us or the other tables at that matter. We ordered extra carrots and celery that never came out, at that point I was like forget it. We needed boxes and refill of water since NONE came throughout our whole dinner. I decided to go get the boxes and request water, tell me why when I walked inside, the only table that was occupied was the party that was there in the corner. The rest of the place was empty and tell me why ALL the workers were literally just standing near the bar/kitchen. they see me walking in, no one seems to think "oh we havent checked on them" they waited till I approached them and asked for a box and water. Up until me going inside I gave them grace because like I mentioned I knew they were busy. But once I walked in and seen every single staff just standing there, I was disappointed. The food was good, but lets just say, the customer service was not it. Glad I got my fixed, as I havent eaten at Brick Oven in years, it will probably years before I come back....

I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful. And yes, I had to order a side of rice--because you just gotta have rice with this kind of dish. Then came the real dilemma: Fish & Chips or the Wagyu Short Rib Loco Moco. The only logical solution? ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie

Sure enough, right at 5:30 it was waiting for us--hot and fresh. The staff was super friendly and even thanked us for waiting, which is always appreciated. This time we went with the Scampi Pizza and the Frank Pizza, and both were absolute hits. The scampi had that garlicky, buttery goodness with perfectly cooked shrimp, while the Frank brought bold, savory flavors that made every bite better than the last. Crispy crust, generous toppings, and that perfect balance that keeps you coming back. Fast, friendly, and consistently delicious--Best Side Pies continues to be one of our go-to spots for great pizza. Will definitely be back again soon.

We ate here our first night of the trip and had an amazing time. I wish I remembered our bartenders name but she was amazing and such a good vibe. We first went to monkeypod while in Maui, and I fell in love with their jalapeno mashed potatoes so I knew I had to get an order of that, and it was good as I remembered! Other things we ate that we enjoyed were the cast iron shrimp. Great flavor, the only problem is that it comes with like 4-5 shrimp, and they aren't large shrimp. Wish this dish came with more shrimp. The cheeseburger was good but not great. If you are craving a burger, this one definitely will satisfy that craving though. The catch of the day tacos were surprisingly good. The bulgogi tacos were solid but I'd opt for the fresh fish tacos instead. For dessert we tried their banana cream pie since it was popular. This one I didn't get the hype though, just an average piece of banana cream pie. For drinks, the mai tai is definitely the way to go. That lilikoi foam, so darn good! We definitely threw back a couple of these and enjoyed every sip. Overall, considering there aren't a ton of options in the area, this spot is great if you are looking to satisfy multiple different cravings. The live music at nights really elevates the experience and whoever was singing that day was amazing. Would I go again? definitely!

The standout dish of the evening was undoubtedly the lobster deviled eggs -- a creative and indulgent twist on a classic appetizer. The richness of the lobster paired beautifully with the creamy filling, and it completely convinced me that lobster absolutely belongs atop deviled eggs. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the thoughtful and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond in making our table feel welcomed, especially by checking in on our little one and kindly offering complimentary buttery noodles, which was such a warm and appreciated gesture. Between the flavorful cocktails, well-executed dishes, and exceptional hospitality, the entire evening was a delight from start to finish. I would gladly return on my next visit to the island.

Driver 2 is assigned. Delivery is now changed to 7:40pm. I call Pizza Hut using their 800 number. Transferred to store. Ask them what's going on. Manager tells' me door dash driver has just picked up pizza and is on the way, she offers sincere apology. Door dash driver text messages me the following at 7:47pm " I just picked up your pizza am on my way". 8:03pm my phone rings. Goes to voicemail. Message " Hi this is -------- from Door dash. I'm sorry I can't deliver your pizza you live too far away. Sorry" 8:05pm I text the DoorDash driver and tell her that taking the pizza from Pizza Hut and then not delivering it is like stealing 8:07pm I called Pizza Hut again on their 800 number and then transferred to the store the person who answers hangs up on me. I call back at the 800 number again and they transferred me to the store. I speak to the same manager and tell her that the girl who just picked up my pizza for DoorDash has canceled the delivery. The manager is perplexed because she said she just left the store with the pizza 10 minutes ago. The manager profusely apologizes again and tells me her regular driver will be back at the store in 15 minutes and if I can be patient, she will remake my order again and have her own driver. Bring it to my residence.she apologizes again and tells me she is very sorry. She asks for my phone number and says she will call me when they order is leaving her store. 8:29pm DoorDash driver gets in touch with me and tells me that she is trying to find my house now and wants to deliver the pizza. 8:31pm DoorDash driver calls me on the phone again and begins a conversation telling me she is lost within my complex and cannot find my house. I tell her that Pizza Hut is sending another pizza and she says "oh I'm still trying to deliver your first one". I ask her if she has my address and she tells me she can't pull up Google maps while she's driving so she will have to call me back. 8:44pm the manager from Pizza Hut, calls me and tells me the pizza has been remade and her personal Pizza Hut delivery driver is on the way I thank her and tell her that the DoorDash driver has called me and she is trying to deliver the pizza. She tells me she is confused why the DoorDash girl is now trying to deliver the pizza after she disappeared an hour ago 9:03pm Pizza Hut delivery girl arrives on my front porch and the DoorDash girl arrive literally at the same time. Pizza Hut has generously upgraded my order to a large pizza along with a complementary 32 ounce Pepsi for my inconvenience. The DoorDash girl is telling me how tough her life is and what a rough day she had and she was sorry she could not make the delivery when she was supposed to. 9:07pm the Pizza Hut delivery girl calls her manager at my request to make sure it is OK for me to have the two pizzas. The manager tells her yes please make sure he is in receipt of what he's ordered and he has even thrown in some cookies for me. The DoorDash grill says "well now you have two pizzas for the price of one", she laughs. I look at the Pizza Hut delivery girl and she is not laughing and neither am I they both leave. The large pizza is hot while the medium pizza I ordered at 6:15 PM is cold so I take three pieces of the large pizza and then take the other two pizzas get in my car and drive down to Farrington Highway where Safeway is and I deliver the two boxes to the homeless people who have gathered over by the park. I want to thank the manager of Pizza Hut on Tuesday, December 23 for being kind enough to work with me and to listen to me when I was having delivery problems she owned the problems took control, then upgraded my order, giving me extras and made sure her driver personally brought the pizza to my home as far as DoorDash. I have seen their owner on Shark Tank and I would love to have the opportunity to tell him that his employees need to get their act together. Thank you, Pizza Hut for correcting a big wrong while it took 3+ hours to get my order the follow-through, the dedication and the polite and kind way this was handled by the manager will for sure. Make me a repeat customer.

You pay and stand in line present your receipt and they'll gather your order which can be tricky if you have a lot of item as when she grabbed my pizza she still had to check the other item but I did grab my two items and was sad to see that there was no table as they only have a handful but do have a few high top round table that is stand up only to consume. It's nice that it's inside versus outside but space is limited and I did feel rushed to finish so that others may have seat do so as well but love the system they have and not so sure to take advantage of it on busier days.
