Pizza Hawaii Deli - Hilo

Nice lunch special, good salad (feeded chicken) two topping pizza slice (big w/generic meat) was delicious.

Ok, this is NY style in a very loose sense of the word. The crust was good and the toppings good quality. The salad I had was very fresh and the staff lovely, but man oh man, the sauce on the pizza tasted like it was from a frozen pizza in the 80s and they just discovered oregano. So much thick and pasty sauce loaded with 5 times more oregano than you can even conceive of. Otherwise it's was good and I hope I just caught them with a bad batch of sauce. Not the worst slice on the Big Island.

Mediterranean pizza and cheese bread was good. It was prepared in time. With the phone ordered to pick up and the person who answered my order was friendly and helpful. It took about 8 call attempts over 10 minutes to order. Luckily, they picked up my last attempt before I wanted to go somewhere else.

Change my review because I return today and the pizza was back to the big pizza I know this restaurant for. They had all the ingredients I got an icy pizza for chrisp pizza as I ordered it, and the staff was friendly and the service was fast. I hope that will be consistent. I have been there for years and I am always very satisfied They are now under new ownership, and it seems to be a certain quality control or new property problems. Pizza through the slice seems smaller, pizza crust tends to be soft, and long wait for food. I'm really disappointed with what they used to be and what they are now. The last visiting music was loud and I couldn't talk to my guest. I asked her to turn it off, and they did, but not enough. They ran out of the pane and without asking my wife and I cooked a little pizza half and half, a full hour later with a soggy crust and 2/3 of what my wife ordered and about a third of what I ordered. I told the counter that I was unhappy and why, but that was strike three since new property, I won't be back. We finished the remaining 6 discs away because of the low quality.

Our pizzas were like that. The worst was the man who made the pizza and also took our order, had filled a huge pile of chewing tobacco into his mouth and constantly looking for a place to spit. Just rough. If you eat in the restaurant good luck finding a clean table. If you eat outside on one of their tables, good luck will get your order. Good luck getting your order hot. Good luck finding the workers after finally eating your order for utensils.
