In Volcano Village there are only three restaurants to choose from and since we ate at one of the others for lunch and we weren't feeling like Thai food we chose this pizza place. After reading reviews from this site and from guide books we weren't coming in expecting California Pizza Kitchen type of pizza even though the restaurant says... more

Kiawe Kitchen was on our list for good pizza. We left Volcano National Park after a long day of hiking and before heading to see the lava flow (which was just pink smoke a mile away, so don't be fooled). We arrived at 4:25 ready to have a good pizza and a few local beers. A sign was up that... more

This place is wonderful and rightfully busy. It's worth your time to call and make a reservation. It serves primarily brick oven pizzas and I also recommend the local greens salad. more

Someone with a large appetite probably could eat it by themselves. Another in our party had the lamb sandwich. All the food... more

This was by far the best food we had on the entire island. We ate there everyday when we were in Volcano. more

food was ok, as was the service, but when the bill arrived, we noticed at least a $50 overcharge. we pointed this out to the waitress and she corrected the mistake almost casually. the table next to us was observing our situation and started checking their check carefully. they then pulled over the waitress and pointed out another significant overcharge... more
