Is there good pizza on Maui?

You know when you’re vacationing on different islands, sometimes you don’t feel like local food or some expensive splurge, you just feel like a good old fashioned pizza. We have found over the years that pizza on Maui is, to us, severely lacking. We tried Pizza Paradiso in the Honokowai area and were unimpressed. We heard really good things about BJ’s Chicago Pizzeria and felt it was a little bland and expensive. Vinny’s Pizza was probably the worst pizza we’ve ever had…anywhere. It said “authentic New York style pizza”…I beg to differ. NY style is thin but not thin as rice paper, barely any sauce and it was SWIMMING in grease. We went through 3 paper towels soaking the grease off of it. Pizza Hut is just awful anymore, it’s certainly not what it was back in the 80’s. It tastes distinctly manufactured over the past 10 years so you can’t even rely on the big chain pizza places for good food anymore.

We’re really not that picky when it comes to pizza, I swear! This year we’re going to try Round Table Pizza in Kihei. It looks good and while we don’t stay in that area, we’re making a special trip because we’re that desperate! I still get sticker shock when I see pizza prices like $25 for their “Maui Zaui” pizza.

We’re beginning to think a good zesty pizza pie just isn’t possible on the Valley Isle but we’d love to be proven wrong! So does anyone have any suggestions?
