We had the short rib pizza. It had plenty of short ribs and lots of mushrooms. A very tasty pizza. We also had the Caesar salad. It was fresh and very good. I ordered the local lager which was unavailable, so I ordered another local beer-Bikini Blonde. The bartender who brought it made some wisecrack about wanting a blonde in a bikini. This was an unwelcome and unnecessary comment. When the waitress brought the check, she hadn’t removed the beer that wasn’t available. We did order before 6pm and got happy hour prices. With the exception of the crack by the bartender and the unintentional overcharge, we really enjoyed the food.

For a wood fired oven the pizza was not cooked long enough. It did not have a crispy bottom and the outer crust had no char.

The place wasn’t hard to find and had a lot of parking. It was a really busy night so I’m glad we made reservations ahead of time. We got seated and ordered drinks. The drinks were ok, not the best. Then we ordered appetizers and got a salad & French onion dip. Those 2 were the highlight of the meal. French onion dip was delicious! We got the pizza with everything on it(I forget what it was called) but it was alright, I’ve tried better. The pizza was soggy and when you’d take a bite all the toppings would fall off. Overall, the food was ok but for the price I had to pay I wouldn’t come back. It was also really loud, my partner and I barely could hear each other speak. Service was good though.

My daughter’s 40th birthday. The place was clean. The ambience was on point the service was really bad. There was one guy . he was a host. He got our table ready, and sat us. He also waited on us as well as everyone in the restaurant except for the bar it took at least 25 minutes t to take a drink order. We quickly ordered our pizzas and salads we would’ve ordered more but we had to flag him down for everything. Very disappointing the food, however is excellent. I am from San Diego and used to service the prices. There were high, so I expect great service as well. probably will never go back again Only because of the service not the food.

Great pizza (the Sweet & Smoky) and garlic shrimp appetizer, very friendly, laidback but attentive staff and a fellow wandered in and was allowed to sing and play a few songs at the bar that the customers and staff all enjoyed. Drinks aren’t cheap but my cocktail was good and overall it seems like a lovely, warm, good humoured spot for some Island vibes.

Came for our honeymoon, this place came highly recommended. Drinks were great. We ordered the roasted garlic shrimp app. This was delicious. We ordered the pork belly pizza with jalapeño’s, cilantro, and pineapple. This was a home-run! Our server Mason was awesome, along with the three women we met at a semi-joined table. If you come here you will not be disappointed… unless you’re a pretentious idiot! Thank you for an awesome evening while we celebrated our honeymoon.

1st time here! Won't be our last! We had reservations (a must on Maui) & were seated near the pizza makers. Fun to watch our pizza being made...one guy tosses the dough, one puts the toppings on. Also watched the game on the big screen. The Caesar salad was one of the best ever - everything is farm to fork, grown on Maui. Just the right amount of dressing. We got The Works & it was delicious. Server was friendly and helpful. He was really busy and took good care of us. Definitely returning on our next trip here in the Fall. Mahalo!
