Mahina Pizza in the Kona Inn Shopping Village
Perched on the second floor overlooking Alii Drive, this rustic little place is well hidden from the casual walker-by. Should you wander up the stairs you’ll find Darcy, the owner/chef, happily plying her trade. You won’t be able to miss her laugh.
Darcy serves up the typical pizzeria fare, with a few salads, a few subs, a custom calzone, and a wide range of pizzas. My first trip was to specifically try the pizza. Friends had recommended that she whipped up a delicious pie. For the sake of diversity, we tried two types of pie. We split the Five-O (ham, sweet red onion, pineapple, and roasted macadamia nuts) and the Green Flash (pesto base, fresh mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, feta cheese and fresh spinach).
Darcy obviously packs her pies with delicious ingredients. Both pizzas were good but the Five-O was a bit better. The sauces were nicely spiced. The dough was not thin crust but it was nicely crunchy. Yes, Darcy makes good pizza pies. I plan to visit again to try the Calzone (except for the stromboli, my favorite Italian sandwich). I shall report again.
And, yes, the service was very good and by the way, no credit cards.
