K.O. Pizza Restaurant — Restaurant in Hawaii

We were out exploring Hāwī on a Sunday afternoon and stopped in for a late lunch. My husband got the macaroni and cheese pizza and I got a delicious huge slice of pepperoni. I love the crispy thin crust and spicy pepperoni. We both got a can of pop and our bill came to about $21, and we left a tip in the tip jar. It was probably one of the least expensive lunches we’ve had on the island. I’m sure we will stop again when we take guests to Hāwī. The restaurant is a shady little patio behind/between some shops. Lots of Hawaii-surfer vibe. Also they were playing some great music. The server/chef was friendly and answered lots of questions like how they came up with some of their unique topping choices (macaroni and cheese pizza??) She also let us know about their KO Pizza food truck located down by...

Decided to stop by for a couple of slices for lunch today, glad I did. Best thin crust in Hawaii.

Getting NYC style pizza outside of NYC is largely impossible; lots of pizzerias say they have NYC style, but fail to deliver. Having lived in Brooklyn for a few years and being married to a Queens lady, I know that certain something NYC pizza has with the mix of salty & sweet sauce, oregano, cheese and bite of the crust.

The owners take pride in their pizza and it shows.

K.O. Pizza is worth seeking out. Glad I’m...

You’ll be so happy you got a slice! If you’re a stickler about things like crust quality, sauce, overall value, and freshness of toppings—this pizza will be the best quality pie you’re going to find anywhere on the big island! I am a huge pizza fan but absolutely hate a soggy crust, bland sauce, ingredients past their prime, etc. You can truly taste that KO cares about the product being offered to you—from start to finish. Mahalo KO! We’re so lucky to have this pizza...
