Fantastic service and even better pizza. The overall vibe of the restaurant is great. We had such a relaxing time and the pizza took a little bit to come out, but it was well worth it. I would definitely come back here in a heart beat. The staff is friendly and allows customers to bring their dogs on a leash, into the restaurant.
WOW! Yummiest pizza I've had since Italy. This pizza truck with a brick oven was the coolest thing ever right next to Lanikai Brewing Co. Have a pizza, enjoy a drink, and you have to try the cinnamon bites! I will definitely be coming back! The Bee's Knees pizza is a must try!
(Dined 09/20/22 TU @ 4:30pm): Whether my pizza came from a truck or a trailer... it's all semantics, right!? I was at Lanikai Brewing Co. tasting some beers when I learned that they had a partnership of sorts with Valentina's Brick Oven Pizza Food Truck (trailer was probably more appropriate) as their in-house food option. Unaware whether or not they allowed outside food, and I was already settled in, I figured why not grab some grindz from this establishment. As was commonplace back on the mainland, most breweries had daily food trucks to feed beer-guzzling patrons, and I always loved trying new trucks. Would they be a perfect fit for the brewery!? QUICK BIO "Conveniently located behind Lanikai Brewing Co., their brick oven pizza is made with love. Their dough is hand-made using 4 simple ingredients - flour, water, salt and yeast. Hand-stretched to order and baked in their brick oven using local Kiawe firewood. They use local produce whenever possible!" PURCHASE 11" Suprema Pizza ($20.00): Made with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, Ezzo pepperoni, Italian sausage, salami, kalamata olives, keiki mushrooms, and red onions all laid out on a crispy slight airy crust, this pizza hot all the rights spots on my taste buds and in my belly! Be careful because it was extremely hot once it arrived at your table, but once it cooled down a bit and the potential for the roof of your mouth has dissipated, I dove right in and quickly ate two slices. There were plenty of toppings; however, I couldn't detect the distinct flavor of kalamata olives. No worries, the pizza did its job as I resoundingly polished off all six slices as they helped to soak up all the beer, cider, and hard seltzer - bravo https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ziRZBKvo7PI4dF_J8jrRsA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Rather than the actual food trailer, I placed my order with a brewery staff member (and made payment the same way) who handed me a menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=grd-I-1mWbh2C_Vhk9v9Zg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and about ten minutes later my pizza came out piping hot with a lovely aroma. I didn't recall any condiments such as parmesan cheese or chili flakes which was fine since the pie stood on its own. Once I polished off my dinner, the tray was cleared away as were any empty glasses. Things were straightforward, but I honestly would've liked to have dealt directly with my meal supply. PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever they were serving food. In this case, they were the in-house restaurant of Lanikai Brewing Co. brewery. I couldn't recall any onsite parking. However, I found a spot along the main drag of Hamakua Dr. as well as surrounding side streets (please read any posted signs)! Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Because I never saw the actual vehicle where my food was coming from, I honestly had no comments whatsoever here. I couldn't say with authority whether or not it was your standard self-sufficient food truck with an exterior menu, order and pick up windows, an area for condiments, napkins, and utensils, etc.. I imagined natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while your guess was as good as mine about the situation at night. The same went for any TVs or background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I enjoyed my meal from Valentina's Brick Oven Food Truck and would consider them again whether at Lanikai Brewing Co. or if they were able to venture offsite. The quality was first-rate, the menu limited but varied enough with pizzas, pupus, salads, and sandwiches, the prices comparable within the food truck industry, and the service straightforward. Nothing earth-shattering here, so don't expect much more. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $20.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they (the brewery in this case) accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
Fantastic pizza to go! The beaches in Kailua are so beautiful you do not want to kill time sitting and eating somewhere. With that being said. Valentina's Pizza in conjunction with Lanikai Brewing Company is a great option because you can get pizza to go to bring with you on the beach or you can dine in. We got the Mac Daddy and Suprema. Both fantastic. Thank you VP!!
If you love thin crust pizza this is the spot! I usually love thin crust, but this was the first time I had a pizza and thought the crust was too thin lol. The pizzas are cooked in a brick oven and the outer crust is perfectly crispy, light and chewy. The pepperoni is good but I wish they put more cheese. They make it very traditional with spots of mozzarella, but the spots that had no cheese weren't as good...we need cheeese! Even though they are in a parking lot in a food truck you have to order online or in the building next door at the bar. A little inconvenient but it works I guess. Was it good? Yes. Would I come back? No, if I lived close by maybe!
Great place to eat but the wait was ridiculous we waited about 15 minutes for our food. I would say come here when your about to be hungry or else you might start getting hangry. The food was good I had the miss piggy sandwich which was is Kalua Pulled Pork, Mozzarella, Jalapeño, BBQ Sauce, Pickled Onions, greens and Lilikoi supper good and would definitely recommend it. And the salad was the Insalata also really good.
I can't believe I'm only the 3rd person to review this awesome pizza food truck! They are conveniently located in the parking lot of Lanikai Brewing Company in Kailua, so as you're sipping your beer, you can order a fabulous pizza to go along with it! The food truck has a legit wood-fired pizza oven. I ordered "The Cured" for $14, and it came with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and basil. The pizza is approximately 8 slices and I ate the WHOLE pie by myself! Oink oink! The crust was perfect! Not too thin, but thick enough so that the ingredients don't slide off when you pick up a slice. All of the ingredients are super fresh and the pizza comes out hot as they're made to order. In addition to The Cured, they have about 6 other pizza variations to choose from. They make their dough fresh every day and their prices are on par with other gourmet pizza places. They also offer a couple of pupus, salads and sandwiches on their menu. I would highly recommend their pizza and I can't wait to return in the near future!
Dude. I cannot articulate how outta control dank this spot is!!! I'm dreaming about coming back to the island for it. We placed our order directly with the guys at the truck. They gave us a wait time of 45 minutes....I'd wait two days for the hot honey, pesto, pepperoni deliciousness at this joint. Pizza oven in a food truck... wild!
Talk about amazing amazing PIZZA AND BEER!! Great environment and nice music playing inside. The beers were on point, and were cold to the mouth! The pizza bees knees omg broke the mouth!! So fantastic I love this place a huge must!! Don't you dare skip out on this place!! You won't regret it!! *clean bathroom *amazing customer service *clean store *front of the store parking *huge fans
It's a food truck in the Lanikai Brewing Co. parking lot. You can sit inside and order a pizza or order a pizza from the truck. The pizza was flavorful, the crust was thin yet the edges were crunchy and chewy, straight out of the brick pizza oven! Sooo good! I can't stop thinking about how amazing the pizza was. Definitely don't sleep on this pizza truck just because the reviews aren't in the hundreds.

I love pizza and get really picky about it. Lately, Valentina's has become a favorite due to their specials and made to order brick oven crusts. Valentina's is in the parking lot of Tap & Barrel by Lanikai Brewing Company and their main food option. So if you're a beer fan, this is a great compliment to locally made styles of beer. The kitchen is in a trailer outside, and their food is available to go whether or not you're visiting the taproom. They have a bunch of different special options, with most featuring local ingredients. A highlight is the Bee's Knees with spicy honey, pepperoni, and pesto; rich but light. Their prices are reasonable for the quality; one pizza is the perfect size for two people, or more if you're looking for a snack. The staff is great, quick to serve. If you're enjoying the taproom, you can order with your server and they'll bring it to your table. Tap & Barrel has bar seating, high tops, booths, and my favorite outdoor tables to bring the furry friends and dine al fresco. If you love pizza and are looking for something different in the Kailua area, this one is recommended. read more
I got the pepperoni and my husband got sausage. Not only was there hardly any cheese or flavor besides the pepperoni, the crust was not good at all. My just said his was the same. Perhaps we are too judgy because we are from the NJ/Philly area and know really good pizza, but I've had good pizza in Hawaii and this isn't or it was a bad day. read more

So cute and adorable little pizza truck! We were not able to just walk up and order. You have to go in to the beer place to make an order. Both areas were not very friendly AND the process took such a long time! Maybe they were upset that we were not ordering beer! Felt uncomfortable. Pizza was bland and crust was too charred underneath. Cooks have to remember to brush/clean the oven after each pie that was baked. I appreciate a local business & I know how hard it is to own/run one in Hawai'i. read more

The Valentina at the brewery really hit the spot. I'm a fan of vegetarian pizzas and thin crust pizzas. This was great, a bit soggy on the bottom on some parts, but the toppings and overall flavor made up for that. Goat cheese, pesto sauce, tomatoes, mozzarella, plus I requested arugula to be added on top...yum. Simple and light, one pizza is just about enough for two people. If you're reallyyy hungry though you might need two! read more

There is a lot of deliciousness coming from this little red and white food truck. I have eaten here a couple of times and have tried so far: Forager Pizza, Bee's Knees Pizza, Suprema Pizza, and Italian Sandwich. All were so, so good. I love the hot honey on the bee's knees pizza- never had anything like it. The pizza comes hot and ready out of the oven and LOVE the dough. I am also an Italian sandwich lover, so I always get that if it is on the menu. The bread is soft and delicious right out of the oven, it doesn't get better than that. Best Italian sandwich around, and I've had many. They give you a side of chips and a pickle which is made locally. Another thing I love about Valentina's Pizza is that a lot of their menu showcases ingredients sourced locally. I love that the owner chooses to buy local produce from nearby farms. You can tell the quality is much better than other establishments alike. read more

Picked up after a day at the beach, got the classic cheese, the pepperoni and the prosciutto + arugula pies. Was a neat setup in a parking lot, half the truck has a little kitchen and the other half is a brick oven All the pies were yummy, clearly have sourced high quality ingredients and have a really great thin crust. Each was made w care and the people running the truck were super friendly. Will be back soon read more

I actually like this pizza when it is prepared correctly. That's about 50 percent of the time. Unfortunately this time I took it to go. One pizza was good and the other was burnt and should not have been sent out. Disappointed. It's either too raw or burned and tastes like I'm licking an ashtray. Should have got some beer to wash it down. Will not order to go again. Will only order when sitting in the brewery so I can return food that is not edible. Sorry want to give a better review but this is the send time out of 3 experiences. read more

The Cured Pizza from Valentina's was delicious! After a long day of hiking this was a great pit stop. The pizza was fresh, warm and perfectly greasy. One thing to note is that the slices can kind of fall apart when pulling it apart. The crust had a nice Smokey taste from the pizza oven they used. The pizza was pretty thin. It was 14 dollars for just the one Cured Pizza, which may be steep for some. read more
