It was almost the end of a very tiring 4 day work week, so when my boss asked me if I was interested in picking up lunch at the gas station, I'm sure my face was extra snooty. But then she mentioned that they make pizzas there like pieology, and that they were shown on Hawaii News Now, so I definitely was intrigued - and happily agreed to visit and see what it's all about.
When we got there, they already had 2 pizzas made for other co-workers who called in their orders. While they chose veggie and supreme pizza, I decided to build my own and got to choose 5 toppings - they were out of onions, so I chose green peppers, olives, mushrooms (they were canned), pulled pork, and italian sausage. I got red sauce (they were out of the hot buffalo sauce that they said it good as a topping after it's baked), and mozzarella cheese and dried chili flakes and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top after baking. The staff seemed eager to make the pizzas and the local business seems very proud of their fancy pizza maker and oven.
When they rang me up ($10), the cashier also gave me a stamp card - when you buy 9 pizzas, the 10th is free! They forgot to offer a card or stamps to my co-workers, so we asked if they could stamp the same card for their pizzas too and they did.
Even after we walked a couple blocks back to the office, the pizza was still crispy and tasty. There were a generous amount of toppings, and it was filling and satisfying. Honestly, the options are fairly limited so it's similar to pieology in concept, but on a much smaller scale. But it's a good option for the area and definitely a unique experience at a gas station!
The gas station also had other interesting options, like loco moco, chicken sandwich, chicken sausage bento, etc. Plus the smoothies looked really yummy and refreshing too. I'd return, and definitely will bring the pizza stamp card back so we an earn a free pizza! read more
