Mmm…Paparoni’s!
Filed Under Restaurant Review | Leave a Comment
You know, we have been looking for what we consider the “perfect pizza” in the islands for 13 years. I am thankful to say, we finally found it! Paparoni’s is located in Captain Cook on the Big Island of Hawaii. (About 15 minutes south of Kona) It’s tucked in a small side of the road building with a few shops including the place next door which sells Auntie Helen’s Banana Bread. Yum! Paparoni’s pizza is heavenly. The right amount of sauce to cheese to pepperoni ratio which is surprisingly hard to come by these days. The sauce is garlicy without being overpowering and a good blend of herbs. The pepperoni is tasty as is the cheese. All of these things come together to make one heck of a pizza pie! So good we may get it more than once in a week and tell all visitors to make a trip there. Not only is the pizza good but the service is great too. We’ve always been greeted by smiling faces and sassy, attentive service.
We also tried their subs as well and they were pretty good. (We got them cold for a plane ride but I think if they were heated they’d be better. But they’re perfect to pick up on your way to the Volcano or down to Kealakekua Bay.)
The prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food. If you’d like to give Paparoni’s a try while you’re on the Big Island, stop by and see them at:
