Hawaiian Pie Company

I ordered 3 pies to bring to work today to celebrate office birthdays. I ordered on the phone a day in advance and they had my pies ready for me on time. I ordered 1 apple pie, 1 banana pie, and 1 Hawaiian Sunrise pie. Everyone LOVED the Hawaiian Sunrise pie, definitely the biggest hit. The problem was the apple and banana pies. The apples were still crunchy on the inside and the bananas were still hard as well, like the pie didn’t cook all the way through.
For the price of the pies, spent a little over $ 70, I was expecting a lot higher quality pie. I’m very disappointed and will be finding somewhere else to buy pies.

Stopped by today for the first time since it was National Pie Day and their one year anniversary. I’ve had their pie before and it was always delish! The crust is amazing and they have a tasty Hawaiian topping on some pies. I will be back for future pies but I definitely want to try their turnovers next time. Parking is a small private lot but the turnover is pretty quick. They offer seasonal monthly flavor a of fresh and frozen take and bake pies as well as breads, cookies, turnovers. Customer service was awesome. You pay for what you get so the pies aren’t the cheapest jut they are worth it!

First time here… I had the Banana and Custard Pies… Hospitality at its best and the pies are to die for… The crust alone is unbelievable!!! I Love family owned businesses because its more welcoming… Highly Recommended!!!

Small family run business with excellent marketing and even better customer service!
I saw photo of the most delicious looking piece of pie floating around on social media.
I.MUST.HAVE.THAT, I said.
Thanksgiving was coming up and I saw that they were making a couple special pies for it.
Placed a pre-​order via email for a pumpkin bread pudding one (with their famous Hawaiian topping) and a mini regular pumpkin pie. Got a quick reply to my inquiry, then I just called to give my payment information. Glad I pre-​ordered a week prior… they were so busy that they ended up not selling any that day, and just filling the prior orders.
They do some delicious-​sounding fruit combo pies, and also offer a couple of their grandpas specials each day.
Our pie was a huge hit… it tasted amazing. I can’t wait to make it back to try some of their other ones!!!

Seriously i didn’t know what the hype was about until Christmas eve my co-​worker and I had extra time running around for our Christmas party. We got there at 8 but their hours were 9:00am that day and glad we got there early because by the time they opened line was about 20 people deep.
I wasn’t paying attention to parking because I parked on the other side of their lot, next to that save & co. which the owner said that I had to move because they needed parking for their customers. Which honestly they had 10 stalls… but whatever I moved because it was Christmas and I didn’t want to give grief to anyone. There were no available stalls by then so I just opted to stay in the car, but my coworker texted me that they had a limit of 3 pies per person. AHHhhh luckily a person was leaving and I parked quickly and rushed to the cashier and claimed our other 3 pies.
The prices are a little steep, bought 6 pies for $ 134. Passion pear, pumpkin custard pie, caramel apple and apple were all they had available for walk-​ins. The pies are delicious, I love anything with pears and custard, very tasty.
I suggest you pre-​order so you don’t run out of your favorite pie but you will still need to wait in line. And have a passenger with you so you don’t need to find parking and she can feed you pie while driving back to office.

THE HYPE IS REAL!
I’ve been hearing about The Hawaiian Pie Company since it opened, truth be told, I’m not a fan of pies.
I was in the area, and the parking lot was empty so I thought here’s my chance. 10 am on a Saturday, the samples were out and still warm.
I enthusiastically tasted the banana, POG, Apple caramel, and something else. All were drop dead delicious. The flavors were tropical and the crust so buttery!
None of the pies I tried had the special Hawaiian topping. I tried to ask what the Hawaiian topping exactly is but could only get two of the secret ingredients coconut and butter.
The two young ladies working at the counter were enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and so kind. When I get customer service like this I don’t mind paying $ 7 for a mini pie.
I bought a mini POG (passion, orange, guava) with double crust. And a guava strawberry with Hawaiian topping. Can’t wait to dig in!!!
I will be back to buy frozen pies to take with me to the mainland for Christmas.
This place is truly a gem, where else can you get a Hawaiian pie?!

I am SO glad that I was gifted a POG pie a few months ago so I knew exactly what I was getting for thanksgiving. I placed my order a week or two before thanksgiving, and good thing since I hear the shop got huge media exposure and got swamped.
I got a quick confirmation email and saw my card was run a few days before thanksgiving so all I needed to do was show up and pick up my pies. How easy!
Luckily, there was parking and not a long line. I was quickly greeted by the nicest people– who I’m sure haven’t slept much (or at all) the past few days.
Needless to say the POG pies were a huge hit! I took the pies to several homes and all we’re excited to try the ‘best pie in Hawaii’. And it didn’t disappoint! Hopefully next year the line will be just as short. :)

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: The pies are so very yummy!!!
I stopped in for a peach pear pie for my mom whom loves peach pie. The pie is generously filled. The crust is buttery and delicious not to thick but just the right ratio of crust to pie filling.
I would return for another pie flavor and the samples are scrumptious!

Friendly people baking and selling tasty pies. What’s not to love?
OK, when I’ve told people about how much I paid for a pie, they’ve balked. The full pies can run you about $ 25, but they’re HUGE and come in heavenly flavors like passion-​pear that you’ve never tasted out of a commercial bakery, so they’re totally worth it. Especially the «Hawaiian» topping, which is basically like having a soft-​but-​toasty, buttery macaroon (not macaron) on TOP of the delicious fruit filling. But don’t take my word for it: You can actually sample many of the pies at the bakery itself before you buy! And if you don’t need a whole pie, you can also get the varieties of the day by the slice. You really can’t go wrong.
Hawaiian Pie Company is easy to find, across Waiakamilo from the huge surf mural (you can’t miss that). The parking lot is narrow, but there are plenty of stalls. The shop itself is small, but you don’t need much space to buy a pie.
Love this bakery. So glad to have them join the local dessert scene!

We first heard about the Hawaiian Pie Company when were at the Food and New Product show which they were selling mini pies. They had it for $ 6 each or four for $ 20. Hey I love me a deal so we went with the four. We got 2 of the strawberry guava and 2 of the pear pies and they both were delicious. How delicious you ask? So much so that we went down a couple of weeks later to get some more pies as we were just craving them.
These pies are so good that I have no problem bringing them to a friend’s house and saying that I made them. LOL Just kidding, The pie usually doesn’t make it to a friend’s house. If anything, maybe a thin slice if they are fortunate.
Just something to note… They don’t always have all their pies ready to take, so if there is a certain pie you want, you may want to call (808) 988‑7828 ahead to make sure they have it. If they don’t, they can bake one for you. It might take a couple of hours so give them some time. Remember, good things come to those who wait… and this is worth waiting for!
Some people may ask what’s the best thing to put into a pie? I don’t know about other pie places but for the Hawaiian Pie Company… It’s your teeth!
If you want to see what pies they have you can check out their site:

This place is super easy to find, just past Midas going makai (that’s toward the ocean for you visitors) on Waiakamilo. The pies are simply delicious. I’m a fan of fruit pies, so I got a passion pear and a blue pineapple. I could not imagine what a pineapple pie would taste like or why it would be good, but when I got a sample I was pleasantly surprised. Nice and sweet (not at all tart), pineapple not mushy at all. The taste is pretty clean, but pie-​appropriate. The blueberries don’t seem to be very noticeable, but are definitely a nice touch to pie that would otherwise be much too one-​dimensional. The passion pear was just delicious. I brought both pies to a lunch meeting, and the passion pear was gone in no time. Like the blue pineapple, the fruit in the passion pear was not mushy, and the flavors blended well together, forming a taste that was unexpected but very pleasant. Fresh fruit is definitely used in these pies. The crust was nice too — not too thick, and a bit crispy just the way I like it.
The shop sells slices, mini pies, whole fresh pies, and whole frozen pies. If you want a pie that’s typically frozen, you can call a few hours ahead and they will warm it up for you! There are daily specials, which I believe are available on their webpage. The customer service was great — I was in and out of there in no time — and I’ll definitely be back again!

My absolute fave pies. Had the Peach Pear and Caramel Apple before. Picked up Pumpkin today. Tried a bunch of samples in the bakery. Honestly, everything tastes amazing.
The flavors are very creative. There’s POG, Passion Pear, & Blue Pineapple to name a few. And you can get them with a buttery Hawaiian Topping. There are also breads and other specialty items.
Hope they add seating here (and coffee.) The people here are super friendly. Will definitely be back.

I want to apologize to the young women who helped me earlier this morning I asked for the passion pear pies but I was thinking mini but didn’t say it out loud and I turned and she was boxing the large pies I need to be a little more specific next time sorry to have made you work so hard. However, my grandmother loves these lies and so does my mother so I decided to get some for them and I ended up buying out all the passion pear pies for the day (mini’s) haha.

Poor customer relations:
Normally don’t post other experiences unless its one of our own, but i was there first hand. My Co-​workers tale as follows:
«Went to Hawaiian Pie Co this morning for a Bday treat. They asked and I accepted a bag… big mistake didnt look at the pie before leaving the shop. I call to complain of the scorched & burnt Passion Pear Pie. Their answer was some pies are meant to be darker than others. I said I understand that but this pie looks & taste scorched /​burnt. He placed me on hold & when he returned he again said about the pie color & it’s OK as long as the crust is not burnt. I repeated that it was and taste scorched /​burnt. His final comment was „it’s OK to eat it like that!“ Told him fine & thanks and hung up. LAST TIME I EVER SET FOOT IN THAT ESTABLISHMENT! What a waste of $ 26 bucks!»
1 star!

They were at the Fall food and new product show so I tried a sample of their pies: strawberry guava and pear flavors. Hard time deciding on which one to buy between the two. I went with the strawberry guava pie. The mini pies are great if you don’t want to purchase a whole pie and new to the company. They advertised on local Khon3 and kitv in the past.
The cost was $ 6 per mini pie with sales tax. It was nice, they give to customers a 10% coupon when they visit the store. Good until Oct 31,2015.
I liked that the pie wasn’t super sweet but moist and flaky to indulge.
According to the vendor, they are starting pre ordering for the pumpkin pie Thanksgiving weekend. I hear they only make a certain amount of pies.

OMG heaven! I always heard about this place and I work in the area so once in a while they give their pie slices they didn’t sell to us.
That’s when I tasted the magic! I don’t really care for pies, nor fruit. But the passion pear and the apple pie are my favorite! I love the unique sweet topping on it. The crust is super flaky as well.
When you walk in it smells divine. Pies are on the high side of $ 20 but so worth it. Everyday there’s other pastery or cookie specials too. Parking sucks but come early to find a spot.

The Hawaiian Pie Company makes up 5 – 6 different fruit pies a day which you can take home whole, by the slice, or frozen to bake yourself. Pies either have a double pie crust or a Hawaiian Topping which is a soft coconut macaroon-​like crust.
Try the samples to ensure you like the pie you choose. On the regular rotation are Apple, Passion Pear, Blue Pineapple, Peach, Coconut, and Aloha Medley. They’re all yummy, but the Blue Pineapple might be my favorite – it’s a berry, Pina Colada pie! You can tell right away the fruit filling is fresh. The regular crust is flaky and delicious, but I suggest getting a pie with their special Hawaiian Topping, I love the added texture and flavor from the coconut.
The Hawaiian Pie Company also has a few other offerings, sometimes there is Uncle Yasu’s Bostock or Turnovers or Bread Pudding – which by the way has a pie crust bottom!
Stop by the next time you get a pie craving, you’ll be glad you did!

Here’s the deal… straight up… this place is DANGEROUS!!! Seriously! They have so many samples and everything is so delicious… you will have a hard time choosing. I left there with 3 slices just for me! Yikes! Of course… I’ll be back. The pie is just so good!
There is not anywhere to eat there. It is a place for just buying and leaving… so keep that in mind. It is a great find and out of the way… if you find your way here you won’t be disappointed. Everything is apply to the thigh good!!! But remember… I warned you that it’s dangerous!

I finally had a reason to come here and get a few pies other than just constantly putting it off. The aroma in this place when you enter will kick start your stomach hunger. So will the three trays of samples they had on the counter for you to try out to see what you like best.
I ended up getting the passion/​pear and a coconut pie that just came out of the oven. I’m a coconut freak and couldn’t wait to sample this thing. The lady said to keep it open and let it air out while cooling off so the crust will be flaky. Sure enough. Three hours of cooling off it came out perfect.
I asked if they had the strawberry guava but she said its a special that will be available on mother’s day. So I guess that’s another reason to come back.
Also got the regular brownie and the PB&J brownies (yeah pb&j brownies) which were just as good as the pies. The bread pudding was good as well.
The workers here are very nice and friendly and encourage you to try the samples. Of course there won’t be any twisting of the arm to make you say ok. They didn’t have to ask me twice.
The parking here is kinda weird but if you have space, you might want to reverse in the stall facing Waikamilo because its more of a hazard reversing out into traffic.
If you like pies, I would definitely recommend you try this place out.

The Hawaiian Pie Company uses a secret ingredient in their baked goods. And no, that ingredient is not butter because there is no secret that they must use a ridiculous amount of butter in their creations. Take a bite of anything and tell me you can’t taste and feel that amazing buttery goodness.
No, the secret ingredient used by the Hawaiian Pie Company is love and family tradition. Everyone that works there appears to love what they are doing, and it reflects in their food. The passing of family recipes and techniques through the generations is captured in their storefront pictures and online through social media. Then taste the pies, manju, and breadpudding. You can taste the buttered love, right? The recipes have been perfected over time and executed by hands both young and old.
My favorite has to be the flavor combinations. Instead of the usual local combos, they mix it up a bit like the deliciously refreshing strawberry guava. March features blueberry and pineapple, and I already have a frozen «Blue Pineapple» in my freezer.
My only caveat is the cost of this indulgence. Whole pies range from $ 21-​$ 25, an upscale price for an upscale product. These pies are great for a treat, but I don’t know if the average family will opt for the buttery love of the Hawaiian Pie Company.
