3 of the Best Pizza Joints in Driving Distance of Waipahu, HI
1. Big Kahuna’s Pizza
Located on 550 Paiea Street, Big Kahuna’s is where you’ll find pizza with a unique Hawaiian twist. Before the shop opens, they proudly prepare their own dough, which is then used in their pizzas, sandwiches, and cheese balls. Of course, they make terrific cheese and pepperoni pizzas, but for an even more memorable dining experience, you’ll want to try the Kanaka, topped with shredded kalua pork, Hawaiian BBQ sauce, and green onions.
Another standout pie is the Sumo Special, putting other meat lovers’ pizzas to shame with its Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, Italian sausage, and ham. Da New Yorker, Big Kahuna’s twist on New York-style pizza, features provolone cheese, thin-sliced pastrami, and shredded cabbage. For dessert, there are fruit tarts with rich vanilla custard and Da Kokoleka, dark chocolate pudding over a cookie crust topped with whipped cream, and macadamia nuts.

Whether or not you’re a homesick transplant from the mainland’s East Coast, you’ll find comfort in the form of the Boston and New York-style pizzas at this homey restaurant on 98-302 Kamehameha Highway. Here, diners will enjoy the thin, floppy crust you’d expect from an eastern pizza. You can order everything from the tried-and-true cheese pizza to the hearty Carbonara Pizza, a white pizza topped with garlic, spinach, bacon, and ham.
There’s also the Boston Special, featuring mushrooms, pepperoni, black olives, and green bell peppers. The irresistible Garlic Cheesy Bread served with rich and thick marinara sauce is the usual accompaniment to a meal at Boston’s Pizza.
