We had a wonderful dinner here. Great / helpful server. The Brussel sprouts were to die for. The calamari was excellent as well. Both couples ordered pizzas with a side of spaghetti. Iâd like to try the other flavors! Topped dinner of with the chocolate dessert. Yes please it was good!

I feel bad...we wanted to love the pizza, the other 3 tables of diners tonight were locals, we left full but won't be back. Our best description is Pau's reminded us a college town late night pizza place...cheap...filling...you eat the pizza because you came for pizza...and I'm not talking a University town pizzeria but a middle of nowhere college town pizzeria. We had 2 beers, an iced tea and a pizza w/mushrooms, onions and sausage, and a Caesar salad to share. Our bill was $49 plus tip, again cheap. Metal chairs, sticky tables, floor that needs steam cleaned, small napkins and small glasses of water or tea. The Caesar was fresh and tasty. The pizza crust tasted frozen (I'm sure it isn't), the cheese half melted, sauce was sweet, the onions were cooked 1st so limp vs raw onion baked, we couldn't find a mushroom, the sausage was good. We ate everything...we were hungry...we drove from our hotel. The staff was friendly but too casual. We were there for 45 minutes and only saw 1 to-go order picked up, maybe they deliver? Sorry, set your expectation.

The pizzas here are great! Always on point. My family and I tried the spaghetti with meatballs for the first time and it was a total disappointment. The pasta sauce tasted like it came out of a can and it was also cold. The meatballs were rock hard. We also ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and was o.k. We will however be back for their pizzas.Hi Breaktimer!Thanks for taking the time to write a review and we're so happy that you enjoyed out pizzas.I'm sorry that you were not satisfied with our spaghetti and meatballs. Our marinara sauce cooks slowly for 24 hours using imported Pastene tomatoes from the mainland. Our meatballs are 100% beef and are left to slowly cook in our marinara.I would just ask if you aren't satisfied with anything please let us know right away so we can make you happy in the future!

Looking for a quick light evening meal. Their "Formaggio" large Pepperoni Pizza with red onion was very for size for 2 and excellent taste. Reasonably priced and excellent service.

Drove across the island from the Waikoloa area to Honokaa to enjoy this restaurant. Came on a recommendation from the owner of our condo as well as good reviews.A beautiful building right on the Main Street, with on street parking. We arrived & found a spot with no problem on a Wednesday at 12:15. The interior of this restaurant is lovely & our server was very nice. Although she seemed to be trying to wait on all of the tables by herself, both inside & outside thus making our service a bit slow. We had the meat lasagna. It is served with a salad & focaccia bread. The serving was generous & the taste of the sauce was delicious. If there was meat in the dish, we never found it but it was really good. The salad contained a number of different lettuces as well as cucumber & carrots. Delicious with the house vinaigrette or ranch dressing. My husband tried a new wine by Bex, a Riesling & loved it. Total bill for 2 lunches with 2 glasses of Bex - $62.70. We would definitely go back!
