Hilo Pizza Company — Restaurant in Hawaii

Growing up in an Italian household, food was literally at the center of attention. When it came to pizza we’d argue all the time about how to make the best dough, what kind of herbs and spices to put into sauce, and what best combination of toppings to add. At the end of the day we’d still be arguing while enjoying our pizza.

What I love about Hilo Pizza Company is my Ohana agrees they make a great tasting pizza. I first heard of Hilo Pizza from an event I attended.

They were serving a variation of their signature pizzas. A few bites in, I had to ask where they ordered the pizza from. The host smiled and said, “From the best pizza place in town”. Curious, I had to go see for myself.

They’ve got a really cool spot that’s street-style NYC chic with a subtle island flare. Honestly, I stared at the menu for a few minutes trying to decide which pizza to try first.

I was in a tummy dilemma, torn between the Kalua, Reuben, Bruschetta, or creating my own BBQ pizza with fresh mozzarella, red onions, mushroom, sausage, chicken breast, jalapeno, basil, pecorino Romano, and how many more toppings should I add on this pizza…

Luckily I had an appointment to be at, so I had to make a fast n' furious decisions ordering the Italian Special.

OMG...The pizza was DELICIOUS!!! The pizza dough is authentic to its Italian origin’s and the quality of the toppings are premium. The crust was cooked to perfection and all the fresh layered flavors echoed within my palate.

The price was worth every slice of pizza heaven and when I came around full circle it all settled down with a refreshing ice-cold birra. Grazie Mille and...

Hilo Pizza Co. has redefined what pizza should be! Their crust is the ultimate game-changer--crispy and golden on the outside, with a perfect, chewy texture inside. Even after reheating, it retains that delightful crunch without ever turning soggy, despite their generous, rich red sauce.

The Italian sausage is a standout, perfectly spiced with a subtle hint of anise that elevates every bite. Fresh, crisp veggies add a burst of flavor, and their choice of red onion is a revelation compared to the bland white onions you find everywhere else.

Without a doubt, Hilo Pizza Co. serves the biggest and best pizza on the island. I've tried pizza from nearly every spot in Hilo and Kona, and nothing compares to what they offer. I'm genuinely excited for them to thrive, which is why I dug into some research. Their large pizza isn't just delicious; it's more than one and a half times the size of chain store pizzas and comes at a fraction of the price, saving you anywhere from $3 to $15!

And don't even get me started on their calzones--my favorite is the Reuben. Treat yourself and your family to the quality and value that Hilo Pizza Co. delivers. You won't be disappointed!

I did the math on this place. See that size difference in my photos! The pizza chains only compete with themselves. They can't get anywhere near the size & flavor of...

The first time we visited your restaurant, it was just perfect. We ordered pizza by the slice : pepperoni which covered the pizza generously, and vegetarian pizza with pesto and white sauce. The pepperoni was warmed up and perfect to my husband's taste. My pizza was crispy and just perfect. We also ordered the pizza salad that was full of lettuce and arugula, protein, mushrooms and green peppers. The salad dressing was very good. Such an excellent meal at a reasonable price, I recommended your place on my Foodie Finds Facebook page.

Today was my husband's birthday so as a treat we decided to go to your restaurant since we had such a great visit the week before. There were only 2 paltry slices of pepperoni pizza, 1 slice of chicken pesto , and 5 slices of cheese pizza. I asked if there were fresh pizzas coming out and the answer was negative. (Eat what's there...as if we care). So my husband ordered the cheese pizza warmed and I had the chicken pesto crispy. My husband's pizza came crispy with the cheese burned. He did not care for his slice. Mine was okay and tasted better with the red pepper flakes. I also bussed three tables because the plates and trash were left sitting on the table during peak lunch time hours. I don't mind helping because we really want your restaurant to...
