Tiki Man Pizza

This pizza place was such a cute experience! We ordered the Tiki Man Pizza which had roasted pork… it was so delicious! Wish I could have that pork on pizza all the time. Every bite of the crust tasted like fresh fluffy garlic bread because it was topped with garlic sauce and delicious. There was also live music which was a man who had a beautiful voice and sang native Hawaiian songs with the help of his Hulu dancer/​wife. They were adorable! Will return and definitely recommend to visitors and locals alike!

Pizza was decent, but service was terrible. The lady taking orders truly acted as if she did not want for us to eat there. She must have told us 4 times, ‘It’s going to be more than 45 mins.’ We received water ONLY after I asked. We received a tablecloth for the door positioned across saw horses (I kid you not) only because someone spotted us and must have felt guilty. Not a great experience. Not our best experience dining out in Hanalei.

We ordered the Kuala pork pizza with jalapeño, highly recommended! Fantastic pizza, great Mai tais, good music fantastic atmosphere! Fun tiki bar!

I have never posted a 1 star before. But seriously, avoid this like a rabid dog. I think the box had more flavor and less grease. Perhaps the worst pizza I have ever had.
I threw it out. Pizza in the trash can. How does that ever happen? It hurts my soul, but it is that bad.

After hearing so many great reviews this was an ultimate let down. Our service was beyond slow. Our waiter was covered in sweat and we presumed it was from running around catering to people’s requests. But apparently it was from running back to the chefs to correct all the orders he imput incorrectly. The pizza itself wasn’t bad, but the toppings are nonexistent. If you have 3 hours, money to burn and no standards for service, than by all means this is your choice spot on the island.

By far the worst service I have ever had in my three visits to this island. Ordered an ahi sandwich with no bun (gluten free) its suppose to come with a salad and rice… there was a bun, no salad, no rice and about 7 fries. When we asked our waiter who was drenched in sweat, he did bring more fries and salad but said because he gave us a little more salad than what was usual, he decided that we didnt need rice.
We also ordered a pizza. For $ 2.50 per topping, i would assume you could see the toppings. Unfortunately i assumed wrong. We also waited and hour and a half (no exaggeration) for this pizza.
Finally when we tried to split the check, our waiter told us if we wanted to split it, we should have asked in the beginning.
Never again.

All of the reviews are spot on.
If you visit Kaua’i expect everything to happen on ‘island time’ and you will never be frustrated.
Yes, everything costs more than the mainland, but transporting goods over thousands of miles of ocean is not cheap.
Great pie and open atmosphere.

Had the #5 Da Hui pizza. It was super fresh and super good. Only downside was the speed of the service. Would definitely come back. Seemed a bit pricey (for a Californian) but probably on par with island prices.

We’ve gotten pizza here a dozen or so times over many many trips. The past few years the pizza has really tasted so so and this last time it was down right bad. The crust had to be frozen and was not good; the sauce was bad; and when I am spending nearly $ 30 on a pizza I expect some toppings. We had #5 the Da Hui, but there was only a few blobs of pork (some slices had none) and very little pineapple.

Had takeout pizza here. Great crust. The sauce was meh.

BEWARE of TAKE OUT. They charge you for the Takeout BOX, not a dollar but $ 6. I do not know how they justify it, oh they don’t they just charge you that much. Also the girl who takes your money, then used the same hand to sprinkle the basil on a pizza, isn’t that some kind of health code violation!

As far as I could tell, this place is really just the pizza menu for Tahiti Nui. We followed the signs for Tiki Man Pizza and entered the restaurant from the back, but ended up walking through to the front of Tahiti Nui and sitting on the porch. That’s fine, just initially a little confusing. Order a cocktail because the pizzas take about 35 minutes. I highly recommend the coconut margarita. Also, they advertise «the best mai tai in town» and I wouldn’t disagree. We had the Hawaiian Pizza for $ 23 and it was pretty good. Overall, a nice dining experience with a lovely view. Try to sit outside if you can.

Looked forward to eating here but unfortunately never got the food. Waited an hour and a half and finally gave up After 45 minutes we were told the kitchen was backed up. Bartender was rude and manager just said «we have about 20 people waiting for food.» Too bad. Many other good choices in this nice community. Wouldn’t waste time at this one.

We never got to try the pizza. This «pizza restaurant» is actually part of another restaurant and I guess pizza is just one of the many things that they supposedly serve when they get their shipment of pizza. We wouldn’t know what else is good there, as we went there specifically for the pizza. My husband and I are both APEs (Adult Picky Eater) s and pizza is the one thing we can both eat. The host, who looked a bit like Moby, was super weird and emotional. Seemed like he might have been having some sort of a breakdown the day we tried to eat there, anyway, he made us wait 30 minutes meanwhile the table we eventually got was empty and ready the whole time we waited. He gave us some weird lengthy explanation as to why he couldn’t seat us and kept checking on us at the bench we waited on, giving us weirder and weirder excuses. Eventually he sat us. We told the waitperson we already knew what we wanted. Cheese pizza. «We’re out of pizza» she said. Are you effing kidding me? Moby could have told us that 30 minutes ago. We started to get up and Moby comes over to explain that yes, they are out of pizza but doesn’t like to tell people because he «(feels) that the entrees don’t get enough attention). Like I said, we have special diet issues and don’t eat just any old thing, I glimpsed at the rest of the menu, saw nothing I would eat on there, and definitely nothing my husband would eat. So as soon as Moby’s back was turned, we snuck out, hungry and pissed off. We snuck out because I was scared he’d see us leaving and try to convince us to stay because the entrees apparently have feelings and are neglected. Take your meds and change the name of your restaurant from Tiki Man Pizza to Tiki Man Entrees.
Seems like a lot of locals go there to see local musicians play and to drink. If you like local celebrities from a town you’re not from, getting drunk and going, «Whooo!» and a homey feel, and spotty service, and no pizza, go there. It’s very cramped, the host is crazy, and they don’t have pizza. But they won’t tell you that until you’ve waited a long time.
We found a Hawaiian grilled cheese place that also served plain Mainland grilled cheese, luckily. But the whole experience put us in a bad mood.

So good. Best Hawaiian pizza I’ve had in a while, really good crust. Perfect spot for after a day at the beach. Mai tai was best I’ve had. They were even open on turkey day when we went. It’s a dive and small seating area but worth it if you’re in Kauai north shore!

no complaints here! we ordered da hawaiian and it was delish! excellent crust and pizza– it was cool how they serve their hawaiian with smoked pulled pork. Drinks were tasty as well– this was our first stop and we were completely satisfied– and stuffed!!! go ahead and order the large– for only $ 3 more you really do get the most for your money. and who doesn’t love leftover pizza!!!

Amazing local spot. We had the spicy Hawaiian and it was by far the best pizza I ever ate.

Amazing pizza!!! Based on the Unilocal reviews we were skeptical but we thought we’d give it a try anyways and it was delicious. We will maybe come back again while we’re staying here otherwise we’ll definitely be back the next time we come out to Kauai.

Best pizza ever! We got the Da Hawaiian and it was great! Real ham, fresh pineapple, and hot right out of the oven hand made crust. Definitely coming back!

We got here ten minutes after they opened, and the waitress said, «We’ll be open in five minutes.» When we asked if we could wait inside (the doors were wide open), she said, «You can sit out here.» We waited a few minutes, and then started to walk away toward a nearby pizza join. The waitress called after us, «Okay! We’re open now!» She said, «We run on island time.» Please, don’t blame your business’ unprofessionalism on island time. Other businesses on the island open on time without a problem.
They were completely awkward about our seating. The tables are teeny tiny, and they were already pushed together, but then they asked, «Can you just use one table? We need this.» Wouldn’t have bothered me if they hadn’t already set it up that way all around the restaurant.
We got a combo pizza. It was absolutely beautiful, but I was disappointed to find out that it tasted like dining hall pizza from my college. Actually, a little worse than the dining hall pizza. The vegetables and the pepperoni were flavorless, there was almost no sauce, and the pizza was slimy after a couple of minutes. We threw out half the pizza because we couldn’t eat it. Shame, because the thing cost $ 30.
While the waitresses were drinking behind the bar, we took our own bill up to the counter. We always tip 20 percent, even if service is mediocre, and we never make the mistake of blaming our servers for food quality. However, they were plain rude, so we didn’t tip them.
Save your money!
