Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

UPDATED (June 5, 2008): I gave them another star. We went back again and had a much better experience with the food and service. They made a mistake and put the wrong topping on the pizza I ordered so they let me keep the 'reject' (which turned out to be better than what I ordered) and brought out the right order soon after. We were seated outside because it was freezing cold inside the restaurant, but after seeing mosquitos buzzing around, we moved indoors. I still got eaten alive...my mosquito bites swelled to ginormous proportions the next day and itched like a mother. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My first time here and what did I order? Soup and salad, lol. 4 of us went on Sunday (Mother's Day) at around 2:00 and waited about 10 minutes for a table. Once we got seated, I looked around and noticed that the tables around us weren't all full and that anyone who came in were made to wait at least 5-10 minutes. Weird. Maybe they were understaffed since it was Mother's Day? Between the 4 of us, we ordered an oriental chicken salad, soup (portuguese bean) & salad combo, bbq burger, and the ahi katsu sandwich. I think it took close to 30 minutes for our food to be brought to the table. My soup and salad was the last thing to be brought, despite it being the easiest to put together. Our waitress said that 'they were working on the soup'. Do they make each cup of soup from scratch when the order comes in? I overheard the table next to ours also mention the long wait for the food. They couldn't wait any longer and wanted whatever they were waiting for to just be taken off their bill. Although our waitress was nice, service was painfully slow. =( Sorry Pizza Bob's, I don't think I'll be rushing to return back anytime soon.

Pretty decent place to stop for lunch. Food quality, price, and quantity were average. Great service.
(3)Cheyne S.
My all-time favorite place to eat. Go there 1-3 times a week. It is a great family place, and , I love the pizza. Not the best, but love it. Have good special deals every week day. Great for locals, not bad for tourists. And after dinner, there is a great place for dessert right next store. Scoop of Paradise has video games, ice cream, video games, and fun. Try out PB's!
(5)Stephanie T.
Pizza Bob's was really good. As you all know, I am a rough critic when it comes to pizza so here goes: The crust and sauce were pretty good. Nothing too crazy spice/flavor wise, but the cheese is what makes Pizza Bob's so yummy! A fantastic blend of 5 different cheeses. SO delic! Good salad portions and their ranch is very good! We sat outside on the patio, which was very nice. Loved the gear to buy and was actually pretty affordable. 20 bucks for a sweatshirt. Not bad.
(4)Jen S.
My brother, his friend, and I stopped here for lunch after our kayaking excursion in Kahana Bay. Gosh, I can't remember what pizza we ordered but it was a combination of meat and veggies on it but I do remember that it was good going down! I can't say the same thing for the service. Our server lagged in getting us water and our food. We were a bit miffed by the sub-standard attention and service.
(3)Ann T.
I feel like I grew up on the North Shore, and Pizza Bob's has been there for much of it. They have the best pizza, the crust is perfect! They also make a killer "Haleiwa Veggie Salad" that I think I eat about every other day when I visit. Another must try is the "California Chicken Club." YUM Had my rehearsal dinner there when I got married and it is still the first place we stop when we get into town.

Finally tried Pizza Bob's last night. I ordered half a white pizza, a boston lager and we had Bruschetta as an appetizer. This is a gourmet pizza place so you are not going to get a $19.99 2 large special with a 2 liter of coke. So keeping quality versus quantity in mind Pizza Bob's is pretty good. I usually don't eat gourmet pizza but knew I had to try Pizza Bob's before I left the island on my 6 week stay. There were 3 of us we each had half of a pizza and a beer with the Bruschetta and the bill was $60. $20 each is reasonable. Also Monday night is $2 beer night. I seem to be able to find the $2 beer nights with ease on this island.
(4)Nina R.
Came here for lunch expecting amazing pizza. 4 of us ordered a large thinking it would be enough but the large looked more like a medium size at other pizza chains. The pizza was good but not worth the $24 that it cost.
(2)Andrew P.
Horrible pizza...you could tell just looking at it. I really think they are using the wrong dough to make pizzas with. How is this place still open selling this garbage?
(1)Jorge H.
Funny, but I went here and didn't have a pizza. We had sandwiches instead and boy were they delicious! They were turkey subs that tasted like Pizza. It was packed on with meat and cheese...very very yummy. The place wasn't all that great, service was a little slow and we ate outdoors with birds and some flies. However, it was in a good spot and much cheaper than the surrounding restaurants.
(3)Laurie G.
For such an unoriginal name Pizza Bob's surprised me. The food is great. Orginal pizza recipe's galore. We had the Grilled Chicken Milano pizza and it exceeded my expectations. The fried calamari was great too. The atmosphere is reminscent of something out of a Beach Boy's song, and is very unrushed. The staff seems to work on the same principle. Slow service, but friendly. I would give this 5 stars but the prices are also steep. 17 roughly for a 12" pie. They also only give you one refill on drinks. Aside from slow staff and stiff prices, Pizza Bob's is a great place to eat, just make sure you have a wallet to accomodate.
(4)Sam O.
This is my favorite place on the north shore. I really like the fried Ahi sandwich (Ahi Katsu, I think.) The pizza is decent, and the salads are really good. On our most recent visit, my wife ordered a smoothie, and it was delicious! We have taken quite a few guests here, and there have never been complaints. It's a nice place to sit outside, and enjoy a beautiful Hawaiian evening.
(5)Sean L.
Shortly after arriving I noticed the prices on the menu were a bit high. Then i thought that maybe it is high because it is awesome pizza... We later were seated and placed our order. Then I notice the table next to us was upset because they had not received their food 40 minutes after ordering. To make matters worse for them, the server was nowhere to be found in a 10 minute period. Back to the matter at hand.... We had ordered a large 14 inch pizza with half pepperoni and half cheese for around 20 dollars in good faith that it's an amazing pizza. But to my dismay I find upon receiving the pizza that it's the equivalent to a frozen red barons pizza from the store. Tasted the same too... The only thing that left a lasting impression (besides the unnessassary dent in my wallet), was the everlasting heart burn that lingers to remind me why it was a bad idea to eat here. Save your money by a frozen pizza rather than eat out there.

I live here in Hawaii an heard good things about pizza bobs so I decided to bring my family there when they came to visit. (I hadn't eaten there previously) we went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't very crowded. There was no hostess there to greet people and there were several parties waiting before us as well. After about 10 or 15 minutes of just standing there waiting around to be seated. A very rude woman finally took down the names of the parties waiting to be seated, and then just walked away. Looking around there were about 7 or 8 empty tables, but the woman continued to walk around and not seat anyone. We finally asked her how much longer it would take to be seated and she kind of got an attitude and said it would be a few more minutes, so we waited about 15 more minutes and still never got a table. People around us were getting very agitated as well, and may people left. Including ourselves. So I cannot rate Pizza Bobs food, but the service was horrible, and the "hostess" was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. We didn't want to give them our money, so we went to Cholos (great service and food) defiantly will not be revisiting pizza bobs any time soon!!
(1)M T.
service was slow slow slow. pasta was well...i've had better at zippy's
(2)M R.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and wasn't too busy. Had the club sandwich with turkey, ham and pepperoni and it was pretty good. My friends didn't enjoy their plates as much, the wings apparently weren't too good. But my sandwich hit the spot. Good fries as well. Good service. I was pleased with my lunch but my friends weren't too impressed.
(3)AsianRunningDiva S.
This is our second time eating here and the experience was pretty much the same both times. It's not a place we seek out to go to, but it was Christmas Day and we had just spent the morning on the beach surfing and sunning and we were hungry by 2pm! We tried going to Ted's Bakery, but the line was SO LONG...we knew it would be a long wait. So we went into town and found that Pizza Bob's was open. A lot of others were looking for food too, and there was a line to be seated! We had 6 people in our party, so we had to wait 15 minutes before being seated. They gave us a huge table for 8 so we had lots of room! We ordered a regular godfather, a regular white, and a regular cheese. The wait was horrendous! It took about 20-25 minutes to get our food, so we were really starved by this point! We got 2 of our pizzas, but not the cheese. We had to ask (after waiting 10 min) for them to check on the pizza...apparently they forgot to deliver it to us 10 min ago! The Godfather was good, crust was thin and crispy...the white was weird with onions and mushrooms and lots of garlic...the cheese was nothing special. The wait was long, the restaurant was freezing, but it was about the only open for Christmas! We were satisfied since we were starved! :)
(3)Rossi C.
When I first came to Pizza Bob's, I was like, "there is no way in hell this place can beat mainland pizza". One bite and I discovered locals can sure make a mean slice of pizza. That day I fell in love with Pizza Bob and Jack Johnson.
(4)Timothy W.
First, the food was GOOD! Really good, if you like good food, especially pizza, it passes the test! With that said the service was sub-par, and here is the synopsis. We visted the resteraunt on 13AUG2011 at around 1500. We were sat promptly, drink orders were also prompt to include waters for all without asking, GREAT! We ordered our food, my wife and I ordered pizza and hot wings, sounds yummy right?! Part of our order arrived on time, but our hot wings did not, the order never made it to the kitchen, thats when I noticed just how bad the service really was. No refills of waters for anyone, little to no contact with the waitress, she was completely ovewhelmed. It also took a prolonged time to get our check. I even noticed other patrons leaving before placing orders because it simply took too long. I will still recommend for the food, and location (North Shore), maybe go during regular meal times, perhaps there are more staff memebers then...
(2)Johnny T.
WORST PIZZA EVER!!! This place was so bad that I had to open up a Yelp account to write my review. I went to this pizza joint last night with a friend of mine after reading a positive review in Oahu Revealed. First of all, I don't know what the Oahu Revealed writer was smoking but must have been some strong stuff to get the pizza down and consider it decent. The pizza was soggy as heck, the hot wings were nothing but NASTY and the fries had absolutely no seasoning whatsoever- not even salt. Paid over $50 bucks for CRAPPY pizza, fries and hot wings with drinks. If you must have pizza on the North Shore, even though I am a Pizza Hut hater, there is a Pizza Hut a block away, trust me, you will thank me. Pizza Bob's is nothing but HORRIBLE--- YUCK!
(1)Lisa K.
If you're going to eat one thing here...eat the panko crusted ahi katsu sandwich with the wasabi mayo. The Katsu is surprisingly crisp yet moist. The wasabi could be a little stronger but I guess that's personal preference. I give it 4 stars. The chicken bacon sandwich is pretty good too. Overall though, I give the restaurant 3 stars for the rest of the food (especially the pizza) and service.
(3)carissa l.
the pizza is terrible. salads ok. service ok. overall, I try to avoid it but sometimes friends like to go there
(2)Brooke M.
So this, of all places, is where Mom wanted to go for Mother's Day. Well, I'm just glad it wasn't Ruby Tuesday's (foodie, she is not.) I used to love coming here in high school (it's actually been open since the '70s!) Me and my friends would catch the bus to Waimea, and if we had enough money (poor high school kids that we were) we would sometimes stop at Pizza Bob's on the way back. The pizza is not bad. The crust is very light, not that flavorful, but pretty good if you dip it in ranch dressing. I really like the Haleiwa veggie salad, despite the fact that they use the dreaded iceberg. It comes loaded with olives, cashews, croutons, shredded cheese, and a couple of token cucumbers and tomatoes. I really hate when they give you unripe or butt-end tomatoes, and Pizza Bob's will occasionally pull that shit on you, but it's not bad...Oh yeah, and the service is usually pretty lame.
(3)Ruchell F.
it was decent but i've definitely have had better pizza. the service was not great, we didn't even have utensils at first, our server was also not as friendly. we also had the thai chicken wings which was alright, very sweet and it cost $11 for a few pieces.
(3)jess l.
Five stars for the burger, three and a half for the rest of the food. Pizza Bob's is not the place for pizza (chicken milano is great though), just as Kua Aina isn't the place for a burger (although they are pretty damn good). The burgers at Pizza Bob's are the best I've tried anywhere. They use FREE-RANGE NORTH SHORE BEEF, unlike Kua Aina who just imports their beef from Washington. The soft, fresh-baked bread they use compliments the burger really well. They also have really good salads, a good selection of them too. Hot damn, I wish I was back in Hawaii just for this...
(4)Eric C.
Great place with a great atmosphere. We went two nights, and while the servers were VERY nice and engaging.. the service was a little slow to get started.
(4)Nicole N.
Hawaiian Pizza? Good. Burgers? Really good and not fatty supposedly due to the special cows they use, but Service? Sloooow. I was already hungry when we got there so we ordered right away. By the time the food finally came out, I think my stomach was eating itself. Maybe they were short staffed that day? Either way, I'd probably go back if I'm ever on the north shore again.
(3)Timothy P.
First let me say the pizza here is VERY good, I love the outdoor seating, and the overall inside is very nice too. Now with that being said let me go on the negative side. The service takes forever. I can understand why the pizza may take a whole but even a simple appetizer took thirty minutes to get to our table. The drinks also took a long time and I was ignored when I asked for a refill off drink. There are a lot of flys and geckos roaming around. The actual servers themselves were ok, nothing good not bad but after being here twice I am sad that the pizza is so very good but everything else is not. I personally recommend you go yourself and try it to see if you don't mind it.
(2)Mona U.
We were really disappointed by the food. I ordered the soup and salad but the chowder came out room temperature. My husband's burger was raw in the middle so we asked them to cook it a little more. Pretty sure they just stuck it into the microwave for a few seconds. Although the food was disappointing, our server Courtney was really sweet and she was always quick to check in on us.
(2)Stacie N.
We stopped here for lunch as we drove through town. The service was prompt and very friendly. The pizza was very good. Very cheesy, hot and the crust was good with just the right crunch and chew. It made everyone in my party of 6, including a picky child very happy.
(4)Brian M.
So food and atmosphere was a one star overall. The waitress was really good though. Ordered the large godfather pizza and a tossed salad to share. We got one quarter of a tomato and one slice of a cucumber with a large hand full of lettuce and sprouts. The pizza was basically 3 lbs of cheese with a couple pieces of sausage, pepperoni, and olives that was placed in bunches in three random slots. Another disappointment with food in haliewa. If you eat out up there, stick with Cholos, it's right down the street.
(2)Alicia W.
Was a little weary due to the previous reviews, but I'm so happy we stopped in! First off, the zucchini fries...oh my lanta! Delicious! I got the half godfather pizza and my friends got the loco moco and Cajun fish sandwich. We all loved our food and the service was outstanding. Our waitress was prompt and so incredibly kind. We will definitely stop back on our next trip to Haliewa.
(5)Ramon T.
I heard so many great and wonderful things about this pizza joint before I came here and was so excited to try it out before we hit Turtle Bay. And I must say that after all that anticipation, I was rather disappointed. The server Christie was a sweetie, bless her heart, but the pizza was average at best. We ordered the Godfather I believe it's called and it just lack the flavorful punch I was looking for. Sad thing is, I hadn't eaten all day and so they hand the upper hand . Yet they failed to take advantage of that.

Been eating at Pizza Bob's since I was a little keiki, they've moved locations over the years, but it is still the same great pizza. I love the Godfather pizza. Since growing up and starting to enjoy eating my vegetables, I have come to adore the Haleiwa Veggie Salad with the house creamy vinaigrette. Man that salad is awesome, this is the only place I will ever rave about a salad! Hahaha. Since moving to da mainland, I miss this place so much! 1980-2012 THIS is where I always got my PIZZA!

This place has really gone down hill. We entered into the restaurant and the smell was like a combination of a wet dog and cigarette butt. We proceeded to the outside seating and the server was friendly, the pizza was ok. The outside patio was dirty like it hasn't been cleaned in months. The cushions we sat on had stains all over. When my son went to use the men's room he decided to hold it because it was so dirty in there. We clearly were done eating and waited with our 3 rowdy kids for the check but had to just get up and pay on the way out. I will not be eating here again. If it's dirty and smelly where the customers are I can only imagine what's going on in the kitchen.

Stopped in on our way to shaved ice and this place was fantastic. The chili pizza was nails. Server was kind and didn't rush us. A lot of the bad reviews sound like whiners. A really good place for something easy.

If you are in Haleiwa on a Saturday night, hungry or maybe even getting hangry don't succumb to no lines and choose Pizza Bob's as your final restaurant destination. Either wait in line or go to Wahiawa We were weak and choose Pizza Bobs and it was such a disappointment. We were all tired from Warrior Dash and a beautiful day at the beach and our party of six was HANGRY. I really wanted Thai but Opal's had a wait as did pretty much every other restaurant in the vicinity. We settled on Pizza Bob's because one of our friends vouched for it and said it wasn't bad. No line. We were sat immediately outside in a booth. 1. The boys ordered Mai Tai's which were artificial, gross, and way too sweet. (They didn't even finish them and they were $4.50) 2. The food took FOREVER to come out. We ordered salads and a chilli cheese fries. 3. The caesar salad my bf and I got was such a ripoff. We upgraded to get the chicken and TWO slices of avocado...and it was close to $10 for a half portion. Blehhh...We didn't even finish the fake Mickey D type chicken. 4. My bf and I shared half a Veggie Pizza (Greenwich Village) which was $15. It was 4 small slices. Seriously could get a whole pizza for $15 on the East coast and have leftovers. A slice was half cooked, the tomato sauce was runny and defintiely from a can. I know Hawaii's not famous for pizza but this pizza was the worst I've had in a while. I think Im going to stick to making my own and Agostinos (Waikiki) 5. My bf and I spent $30 not including the tip on a dinner we didn't enjoy. :( Please, next time you are in Haleiwa avoid Pizza Bob's unless you are okay with paying for an overpriced below average dinner.

One stare because that's the least I can do. On vacation and went there for pizza with a party of 12. Pizza bob should not be the name it should be called a cafe. The waitress that helped us was Rude! We ordered drinks and after a few rude comments we told her to cancel our order and charge us for the drinks. The waitress was a local but you would think she would bend over backwards for a large group on a Friday night when the place was not even busy!! Nothing good to say.
(1)Delfina V.
Ill start by saying that the pizza was great, no complaints there... but I DO NOT RECOMMEND! the service was horrible! Our waitress SHANNON was completely rude... I couldnt believe how negative n rude she was when we asked simple questions that she couldve answered sooo much better than she did n with a much better attitude!!! We asked simple questions like if we could split the bill, or substitute toppings and got eyes rolled at us. Shes not the only one who gave us bad custimer service too! There was another lady that came by to assist and as I was mid sentence in speaking to her she leaves to assist another table and purposely ignores me. We were a large group, but we were not diffucult people, and our questions shouldve been met with compromise and problem solving, out waitress did nothing of the sort, just said no no no! theres nothing worse than horrible customer service. Customer service if a big part of any job!
(1)Alice N.
Went here for a light dinner for my hubby's cousin's birthday. It helps to know the waiter as he was totally quick and efficient. We tried half of two diffent pizzas: the white pizza and the grilled chicken Milano. Both were equally yummy! Not that long of a wait in my book. White pizza toppings: red onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet basil and garlic. Milano: grilled chicken breast, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red onion. Washed it down with a raspberry iced tea was so perfect after a whole day partying and having fun at Aweoweo beach park. Good times!
(4)Jessica M.
This place deserves 0 stars!! Waiter was totally rude and disrespectful. She had attitude with our family. We had all ordered and decided to cancel and leave. This place is not worth your stop!
(1)Blythe K.
Just moved into the area and was craving some air conditioning after spending the whole day getting moved in. We stopped here because the wait was the shortest, or so we thought. We were seated in about 5 min, and another 5 min later the waitress took our order. However, 30 minutes later we hadn't gotten anything but drinks, and I couldn't get the waitress to make eye contact with me. The table next to us left before their food arrived because they'd been waiting so long. We were hungry and tired, so we waited it out, but didn't get our food until about 45 min after we'd ordered. My husband's sandwich looked OK, but he got nauseated about halfway through eating it. I got the "special" Caesar salad, which promised grilled chicken and avocado. The chicken was clearly just reheated frozen stuff, and the avocado was just a skinny little slice. The lettuce was warm and completely drenched in dressing. It's really hard to screw up a Caesar salad, but somehow they made one of the worst I've ever had. No one apologized for our wait, so we just ate what we could, paid the bill, and rushed out. They could have had regular customers since we live so close, but we'll never be back. They must make all their money from desperate tourists. Don't fall for it!

Just moved here, and thought we would check out pizza bobs on the north shore. Pizza was ok, after waiting an hour and a half to get it... Ordered the godfather, all the toppings slid off as I picked it up. Limited to one refill, which after sitting for almost 2 hrs, I was more than happy to buy a whole new glass of iced tea. Thru the order pickup window, we Watched lady in the kitchen the entire time eat a few bites of something, then turn around to table behind her and go back to preparing whatever she was preparing. Without washing hands. I think she consumed her entire meal before we got our 1 slice of pizza. Server was apologetic, but it was half hearted. Like she knew the kitchen was slow and couldn't do anything about it. Manager did take $6 off of our $60 bill. This was a first, and probably a last for this family. Not impressed, an if it wasn't for the Saturday night pizza sale... Would not have been worth why they originally charge.
(1)Adam C.
Sucked! The pizza was underwhelming! In all fairness it tasted "ok", not all that bad, I've had worse, but when considering the price, it's not a value. A place that has been in business this long with the lacking level of quality, it raises questions! Pass on this place.
(2)Tesha B.
This place needs to be shut down!!! Service is horrible I went there for the first time this weekend after being seated it took 55 minutes to receive my order it was 10:30 am and they had a total of 4 tables. After 30 minutes the server came to the table and apologized for food taking so long. We received water to drink with no refills at all. The outside area was dirty and there was a fly in the Parmesan cheese shaker. I brought it to there attention and they removed it without bringing another to replace it. The service is bad food is horrible. I wouldn't recommend this place if you were starving and it was the only place in town open.
(1)Jack B.
Pricey, but has good specialty pizzas. If anyone from management reads this, please get your wait staff to get the lead out. Paid $90 for 4 people for some pizza and pasta and had to take my own check to the register. Nobody even asked my guests if they'd like a refill of their obviously empty drinks. If you're going to attempt a high end price you need to match it with service. Bobs is good, but it ain't that good. There is a trend in the reviews here.
(2)Robert M.
It was okay. The atmosphere was okay, a nice outside patio, but nothing great. The pizza was good, but pretty limited topping choices, especially when I ate at Kona Brewing Company the night before. Its a little expensive, as you look at it and think "cheap pizza lunch" but end up paying almost 30 for a large pizza.
(3)Talon G.
Last time I ate here was over 10 yrs ago. I used to drive the long distance from Kailua because I enjoyed the food so much. Today my food was horrible and the service was even worse. Our server seemed busy doing everything but helping us. The menu states that the pizza takes 20 minutes to prepare. That scared me so we ordered burgers. The two families next to us got their food before we got ours, one of which was a pizza. To my disappointment, the burgers were made with sandwich bread instead of a bun. They lacked flavor & the bread was so thick that I ate it with just one slice. We sat outside only to find out that we had to share our food with huge annoying flies. I shouldn't have been surprised since across the parking lot there's a farm of chickens. We finished our drinks & was never offered a refill. As server was never around, we asked the host to retrieve our bill. When she returned with the bill, she still didn't offer to refill our drinks. Not once did any of the servers or any other worker thank us for dinning there. It wasn't t until we passed the baron our way out did we get a thanks from the bartender. We stopped to use the restrooms and after eating horrible food, I almost vomited in the bathroom. It smelled gross and looked really dirty. I usually prefer no to write bad reviews, but our experience was exceptionally bad!
(1)Jen H.
We liked the salad but that was pretty much it. The service was strangely slow and we were there at 11. Hardly anyone there. Waitress was nice but didn't explain why it was taking so freaking long. Daughter got pizza which thankfully came right away.Hubby got fried ahi sandwich and I ordered BLT. Tell me why it took almost 15-20min for my BLT to come out after my hubby's sandwich?!? It's a BLT, it takes like 5 min to make. Im a pregnant hungry lady so i was not too thrilled but hubby was quite angry and hes usually a very laid back guy but not when it comes to a hungry pregnant wife. What made my fuming hubby even more mad was that two guys who sat down after us got their burgers very quickly while I was still waiting for my BLT. We are always fair and generous in our tipping but hubby was so very upset he left a dollar. It took almost over an hour for us to get all our food for simple sandwiches. On top of all that the BLT was not very good...waste of time and money on vacation!!
(1)Roy C.
This place needs a serious makeover and so does that pizza. Is it pre-made frozen pizza? Where's Bob? The crust was hard and the sauce was salty. There was definitely a lack of quality here. Worse pizza I've had in years. The staff sucked, too. Bob, where are you? I need you to give Gordon Ramsay a call.
(1)Gspot H.
Service was good. Plenty Parking in back. The Turkey hot sandwich was good. Indoor and outdoor seating. Wished they offered pizza by the slice.
(2)Loki N.
Pretty good breakfast definitely a great price! Awesome customer service. And it's great because its open early, everything else in haleiwa town is open at 1; if I'm hungry at 10:45, I'm eating at 10:45! Props to being there when I need you!
(4)Shawnna E.
Food is very flavorful but the prices are a bit steep. 27.50 for a large 8 slice pizza and 7.50 for chili cheese fries. But the italian sausage is so fresh and flavorful! The waitress seemed nice, entertaining, and attentive to every other table but us as we had to flag down someone else for another plate (they only brought one with a large pizza and two people) and a glass of water.
(4)Jonathan Y.
We came here because we were out on this side and wanted to eat kua aina, but it was crowded so decided for pizza instead. The pizza crust is good, but everything else, not so great. The service is slow, and there were many flies inside the restaurant. The price is outrageous. I mean boston's north end is about the same, but it's a bigger pizza. I think if the service was better, it would make up for the horrible food
(1)Matt J.
Worst deal ever. I could have bought a dijorno pizza and it would have been the same, but much cheaper. Don't waste your money.
(1)Chris C.
3.5 Came here for lunch, short staffed but it was Christmas day so it's understandable. Ordered the Farmers Market Half size pizza with garlic bread and a half caesar. Garlic bread is okay, a little on the dry side. The pizza (4 slices, good enough for two people) was great! The dough is really fresh and has good flavor. Salad was your typical caesar, can't really mark a place up or down based on one. Sit out on the patio and enjoy your pizza while taking in the Hawaiian breeze :)
(4)Timothy A.
The burger I had was awesome; the bun was outstanding. The food is priced a bit high but it appears to cater to a lot of tourists. We ate just after the lunch rush and we still waited a bit. The food was excellent. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The service was good.
(3)Pam S.
I'd say I was disappointed but I wasn't expecting much. I've been here years ago and it was OK. Half price salads & didn't feel like cooking so we decided to take a chance. We ordered beer and salad straight away - beers were half gone by the time the salad arrived and we had to ask a busperson to check on our food. The mixed green salad was really good with a mix of toppings and nuts for some crunch - dressing tasted fresh & homemade (not overly sweet) but it had an odd taste that I didn't like. We ordered half a deluxe pizza and it took just as long & was cold by the time we got it. As with previous reviews - crust was like a cheap box mix crossed with Ceci's. Not much flavor on any of the other toppings and it wasn't cheap. I expected a lot more for $14.00. I've had much better frozen pizza from Costco. Sorry Pixxa Bob's but you're back on the no-go list. I like to support the locally owned places but I'd rather see some better food in this prime location. On a side note, I was sad to see that Cafe Juice Universe around the corner is gone. Now THAT was a good place for food.
(2)Lorna M.
Not a place I will recomend to friends or family. Simple food (chicken wings) you can't really go wrong with it, so I thought? How can you mess up a really easy thing to cook in the kitchen? Well, apparently this place can. The place was very old and it has a musty smell to it. You can also smell the odor coming from the Bar as well.
(1)Cordell B.
Ate here on 10 Nov 2012 and the food was excellent. The Macadamia French toast was amazing. The fish and rice with eggs was good too, real Hawaiian food. If you want a burger get it back on the mainland 48 States. This join is for those who want to be Hawaiian
(5)KKTCA K.
My daughter ate here on June 10th. All she ordered was a caesars salad and she got violently sick. She had food poisoning that lasted till the following Sunday. She said she's never felt that sick after eating something like that in her life. She shared some of her salad with a friend who also got very sick. As soon as she ate it, within 1/2 hr she was throwing up. Needless to say, she or i, will never go there again. It's sad when you go to eat somewhere and this happens. Shame on them!
(1)Michael E.
Well the food was alright, atmosphere was decent, the staff seemed friend enough. However the older, manager looking gentleman wearing the aloha shirt with the top 2 buttons undone was a bit tacky!!! Food came out in pretty good time, the beer was cold always a plus.
(3)Austin G.
Pizza was really good! Took a bit long to cook, but it was worth the wait! It's a great place to takr the family to!
(4)Michelle C.
We stopped by Pizza Bob's after a day of hanging out on the beach. They have daily specials, I think there was a discount on draft beer the day we were there. The pizza was a bit pricey, but not outrageous and a large pizza feed 3 adults (2 men, 1 woman). The food was good and the pizza was really cheesy, yummy! The service was prompt and friendly. Outdoor seating was nice. Entering the restaurant is a little strange because you have to enter from the back. The restaurant is right on Kam Highway and a couple of blocks away from the bus stop.
(4)Harmony L.
I feel bad giving it two stars...so I'll give it three. Only because that garlic dressing is on point! I went here on a Wednesday night which is apparently half off all salads night, so that's cool--and a good deal. The salads were definitely the high point of this place. Fresh, yummy and unique ingredients lend themselves to be amplified by some DELISH garlic house dressing. I should've gotten some to drink to maybe cover up the flavor of the pizza... We went around 7pm, and most people were leaving when we showed up--so the speed of our service in my opinion was a bit delayed. Not terrible though, because I'm incredibly patient, had some great company and a delicious side salad to tide me over. It took us a little over an hour to receive a regular sized pepperoni pizza. No frills right? So am I right to think that's kinda slow? The crust tasted like if Bisquick dough had a baby with Little Cesar's 5 hour old crust. Very flavorless. Which would also describe the red color on top of it. I call it color because it definitely wasn't sauce. I think someone just took a red marker and drew a circle where the cheese ended. I literally tasted no sauce, and like I said in my Boston's pizza review, I'm a fan of sauce! The cheese was rubbery and all in all the pizza reminded me of frozen off-brand pizzas my mom used to buy us when were were broke as hell. Like for real. I really wanted to love this place because it's on north shore in a cute little area, and I would go again because I really dig that salad, but I felt awful knowing I went to a place with pizza in the title--and the pizza was soo disappointing. :/ Get it together, yeah?
(3)James H.
Love this place right in the heart of Hale'iwa! Good food and good prices. It may not be the the most elevated brand of Italian food you've ever had but the pizzas will fill you up and put a smile on your face. And they certainly don't cheap out when heaping the cheese on! Fast friendly service
(4)Jesse J.
So... there's several different types of pizza's, style, sauce, etc. I read the menu before we ordered. It goes into great detail about how this place has been open forever, and Pizza Bob went to Europe to learn how to make pizza. Let's preface that I HAVE eaten the best pizza in the world, and I also have been to Europe... so my expectations are pretty high at this point. He has combined a European style with Chicago thick crust. A little different.. but I'm always down for trying new stuff. We ordered a cheese pizza which uses 5 different cheese and another one with like everything on it. Pizza was decent. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever eaten, nor the worst. But it's also not a pizza that I'd run around town telling everyone and their mother about either. The one with everything was nice and spicy. The sausage was spicy enough you didn't even need to add red peppers. The soda's couldn't come quick enough... and I love hot food! It's a fun place to visit, with great people watching. So much is going on in North Shore, keep your eyes peeled!
(3)Jen S.
It took 45 minutes to get our food and 15 minutes for them to even come to our table to get drink orders. When we finally got our burgers and pizza, the meat was very well done and crunchy and for some reason, the meat was on another plate... The pizza was very greasy and sticky.
(1)Steven K.
I love the pizza here, but the cost is a little high.
(3)Valerie M.
Pizza Bob's and Jameson's are my two favorite restaurants when I'm driving out to the North Shore. The ambiance at Pizza Bob's is perfect for this townie girl. I love sitting outside on their lanai listening to C&K and Kalapana. The music is cranked up loud outside, I think to drown out the car traffic sounds. Actually I like facing the street and watching the groups of bike riders out on their Sunday rides. This is a great place to decompress after a hectic work week. I didn't notice if the food service was slow, but then again I wasn't in a hurry anyway. Just chillaxin'. What I did notice was that while waiting for our food, two other tables with couples were waiting for their food, also and all six of us had our iPhones out and looking at it. Just an observation. I thought that was pretty funny.
(4)Carly B.
We stopped at Pizza Bob's for dinner on a Wednesday after being told that Wednesdays are half-priced salad night...and we needed a good deal after being price-gouged on food at LAX airport the day before. Pizza Bob's has a really pleasant patio. We sat next to the coi pond where we could watch the fish. Cousin and I got Longboards and we share a Haleiwa veggie salad (smaller one) and the panko crusted ahi sandwich. This was the perfect amount of food for two and the salad had a nice ginger citrus vinaigrette and lots of cheese and sprouts. The sandwich was decent as well - a big slab of crispy fried ahi with wasabi mayo and a side of tartar sauce. The fries were fries. Our damage was somewhere around $25, which seemed like a bargain after paying $12 for a bloody mary and $3 for a mufin at the airport. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and not looking for anything too unique or crazy.
(3)Ryan K.
This place can be pretty pricey but its a solid spot for pizza and their outdoor area makes for a relaxing dining experience. I usually end up going here when I crave fried zucchini since this is one of the few places on the island that has it. The pizza is really tasty, I'm a fan of the white pizza, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Service can be slow sometimes but they've always been friendly.
(3)Tim W.
We got lucky and hit Pizza Bob's on a Thursday night when they have their $3 specials. $3 for a large slice of pizza, a house salad, Mai Tais, etc. etc. We ate a couple slices of pizza and had some drinks. Food was hot and good. Service was good. Nice mix of people and a huge outside patio area. Great vibe at this place. Great choice if you are feeling like pizza.
(5)Ho H.
Pizza crust is nice. The menu didn't offer anything too special. Still there were no complaints from our table. It did take a while to get seated, essentially they were not fully staffed when bus loads of foreign tourists were there. Without those large table English language challenged groups I think service would have been better.
(3)Peter C.
PRO'S: (based on a previous visit) pizza and salad was good, air-conditioned inside, restrooms available, forks & napkins provided w/ meal... CON'S: burnt, crunchy burgers; SNAIL-SLOW service; drinks not replenished promptly, reservation not ready; bugs outside... We arrived for our 5.30 p.m. reservation to celebrate a friend's birthday. We weren't seated outside on the covered porch until at least 15 minutes later. Our drink orders were taken, and after our drinks arrived they took our meal orders, which took about an hour!! :-p During the meal, our drinks weren't replenished in promptly, if at all. I had been told by several people that the burgers there were top notch, even perhaps the best on the island! However, at least three of us who had ordered burgers received them overdone and CHARRED! They were crunchy and dry, which was far from medium, which I ordered. We would have sent them back to have them done right, but we weren't prepared to wait another hour for our food again. We were never told why the service was slow and burgers crunchy. It would have been nice to have an apology or explanation from a manager (e.g. overstaffed, lead cook just quit, hurricane hit the kitchen, etc.). I'm not sure what was going on, but we definitely felt neglected during our visit and left having desired more from the service and meal.
(1)Janine R.
I was actually surprised but we enjoyed our lunch here. They had thin crust pizza with good flavor to the pizza sauce. The garlic bread with cheese was also good. And the burgers were huge! The wait staff wasn't all the great though. We had to chase them down to finally get our bill. They looked like they were short handed that day. All in all it a good meal until we wanted to leave.
(3)Benjamin O.
Good pizza and salads. Large pizza is the size of a medium other places but cost the same. When we were there the air conditioning was cranked up so we had to move outside to eat. Friendly staff.
(3)Karen P.
Okay the service was descent. The food however was nothing to write home about! The hamburger meat has funny taste. They are way too big! Flavor not good! We asked no tomatoes but they were put on the hamburger anyhow. They don't toast your bun. The chili burger was ok! The chili taste better if u eat one bite but after second or third you just don't want more of it! I hate the type of bread they serve! The other thing it is cold! Hard to eat when your freezing. The pizza was good according to my son!
(2)E C.
Horrible! Took 40 minutes to get our food after our our ridiculously bad waitress ignored us many times over ... When it did arrive, we were short one meal and the pizza is about on par with the cheaper frozen varieties ... To top it all off no one seemed to care that things took so long and I'm writing this review looking at my empty water glass. This is my second time here and the first go round was nearly as bad ... WILL NOT be back.
(1)Sandy H.
Once in a while my tribe and I will get together on the North Shore for an obligatory sit down dinner. Pizza Bob's is a frequent choice because getting tables for a large party is usually not a problem, unlike other North Shore establishments. I've only had their pizzas, and will admit they're quite delicious -- especially the Godfather. I'll agree that they're a little on the pricey side, and even with their nightly specials, a $4 slice/$4 salad won't satisfy this tummy. We tried the outdoor seating once and that was enough. The tables aren't as clean on the inside and eating with critters really isn't my cup of tea. Service is decent though the food can take a while to come out. Servers are usually cheerful and pleasant and worth a 20% tip.
(2)Missy S.
Not bad, I say. The breakfast is pretty good and simple. This is a very tourist kind of restaurant, so the breakfast would remind you of wailana's coffee shop in Waikiki. We shared a omelet (forgot the name of it), but it had ham, green onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Cooked and seasoned well. We ordered it with a side of wheat toast. The waiter was very attentive and kind, so our customer service was great. You can choose to sit outdoors or indoors. Prices are reasonable too. If I come here for lunch or dinner, next time I will update this review!
(4)Lanny M.
Good thing for tourists who don't know any better or this place would be out of business. Food is terrible.
(1)T B.
Burger tasted like a frozen patty at best! No flavor except cardboard and processed beef. Even McDonald's adds salt and pepper. I'm sure the customer should not have to watch the wait staff spray for insects on the patio...
(1)Stan A.
Great food here! My wife and I always get the Haleiwa salad.
(5)H. K.
Pros: Tasty toppings Outdoor seating Cons: Pizza was overpriced Crust was flavorless. Notes: I wouldn't eat here very often.
(3)Sharleen P.
Came here for breakfast one morning with my family as we were heading back from the farmer's market. Food is O.K. My daughter's pancakes looked a little stuff so maybe that's why they didn't enjoy it. My french toast platter was yummy. Haven't tried their lunch yet, will probably come back in the future. Service was alright, not great, but alright.
(3)Melissa R.
Oh where do I begin... I've had WAY better frozen pizza for MUCH cheaper. This place is overpriced and only attracts attention because it's in a tourist spot. Pizza Hut down the road is better than Pizza Bob's. Yeah it's hot out, but do they need to crank the A/C up so high? I was shaking and eating terrible pizza at the same time, not a good combo lemme tell you! And to top it off, our waitress completely ignored us the entire time and was usually found standing at the bar looking like Kelly Bundy trying to figure out 2+2. Never. Again.
(1)Kristen P.
The worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I would have preferred cafeteria pizza. I've never written a review before but felt like I had to warn others about how terrible it was.
(1)Ryan T.
Just decent. Nothing extra fancy, but the server was friendly and the prices were reasonable.
(3)Paige Miki O.
My most favorite thing about Pizza Bob's are the salads and the zucchini fries. and that's IT. Everything else is kinda...not that great. The pastas are soaked in sauces and are rather soggy :/ the sandwiches and burgers are ok, but still not worth the money. My hugest problem is the prices. $10 for a soup and salad. and the portion is only worth MAYBE $7 at the MOST. Everything is at LEAST 10 bucks, no matter what it is. And the fact is there's not enough food for 10 dollars worth of anything on your plate. The place is getting run down, but if they just lowered the prices, i'd be there more often instead of four times a year.
(2)Todd C.
This restaurant is a complete joke. PERIOD. From the half-dead hostess, to whom we actually had to say "hi" to first, because she didn't feel like greeting us, to the soggy pizza and lame salad and our lousy waitress who was trying to rush us out of the restaurant, this place is a complete failure. Bob, your restaurant is dead, put it out of it's misery and shut it down already.
(1)Chuck W.
We were here over twenty years ago but not like it used to be. Food and service poor.
(1)Lofa L.
I have to say the food is good. But when I ordered linguine for lunch and had the small bowl show up I was sad. I'm glad it came with a salad, but the prices they charge here is not for the locals. Saving my money and going Stortos and getting full next time. I can't help it. I'm a big eater.
(3)H M.
2 stars because their omlettes where great, but sad to say I will never go back to this place that I loved as a teen. Place looks tacky like those places you see on Restaurant Impossible. Waited at least 30minutes for breakfast take out on a day they had 10 tables at the very most. Ordered their combo that was supposed to include 2banana pancakes, 2eggs and spam. The reason why we waited so long is due to them not making the pancakes. Lady who looked like the order multiple times (she was also the person who took the order on the phone), told me everything was in there, we were all set. Having only 1 arm, I didnt wanna mess up the food in the bag, so I trusted her-big mistake. Got home and the eggs and spam were missing. I did not pay $30+ for food (and I tipped her), for a ridiculously long wait, no courtesy notice to let me know we'd have to wait for an additional 15 minutes after we had got there(we arrived 15min or later after placing order-was quoted 20min). And then to have an incomplete order after that. It was heartbreaking because it was my son's food. Never again. I'll just go to Cafe Haleiwa. Im ok waiting at a place that has great, accurate service and amazing food.

Back in the day when I lived here, this place was pretty good. However, the service was always sketchy. I would usually order the Big Island Paniolo burger, which was quite tasty, cuz the Paniolo bbq sauce is off the chain! Also, the pizza was always good. The Godfather, East Side West Side, The White & The Greenwich Village are all good pizzas that I would recommend. However, it has been since 2007, so who knows what's going on in this place now :P

Located near the famous Matsumoto's shave ice store, this place should for sure be avoided. I ordered a Mushroom Pizza and some fries. Pizza was horrible and had no flavor. Crust was kind of crispy and the pizza was way over cheesy. I like cheese but I don't only like cheese. I think the cheese was 5x thicker than the pizza dough itself. Fries lost their crispiness the second they cooled. Bathroom was super small and dingy. The restaurant looked like it got cleaned once every two days, and the servers were OKAY. Not overly friendly but not snotty either. One star for Bob for making crappy pizzas.

Outside atmosphere is great, service is slow, but what is the rush? I especially like the weekday specials . Food is fine. Staff is very nice, my friends and I don't expect to rush when we go there. They use local farmers.
(3)Jenny R.
Seriously discusting. We had two sandwiches, both were gross. I hear the pizza may be better however we will never be back. Also the patio was trashed, garbage everywhere.
(1)John J.
Why do I keep forgetting how horrible this place is??? I went again last night. We were seated promptly and immediately noticed our server wasn't in a good mood and didn't crack a smile. She took our order and returned with the drinks. Then disappeared. We noticed there were three or four other tables nearby that were occupied. The outside section looked busy. The inside section on the other side of the restaurant had been half-full as well. While waiting for forty five minutes on our order I noticed a lot of the surrounding tables hadn't been served their food as well. My two young children started to get unruly and it was hard containing them. While walking my child my wife overheard that a party of 30 was ahead of everyone's orders so everyone was going to have to wait. When my daughter plopped down on the floor and started screaming I knew we had to leave, food or no. So I went to get a waiter. I couldn't remember what ours had looked like. So I grabbed someone right as our food came out. So I went back and ate. I had a burger and wolfed it down so I could attend to my kids while my wife ate. She had the chicken ceasar, which was very bland. The croutons were nice, but the rest was blah. My son had fries and chicken strips. They were pretty good. They were nice about it and gave us 8.88 off our order without us even saying anything or complaining. They realized the wait was bad. I don't mind a bad meal once in a while, but as me and my wife thought back on the half dozen times we've been there, only maybe once was there not a horrible wait and blah food. We go there once a year or so, maybe, so we forget how bad it is...we simply thought "I don't wanna go to McDonald's" and ended up there because of name recognition. I don't blame the waiters and waitresses. They are doing a hard job and are overworked, but someone needs to increase staff or expedite better or manage better, because this place is a trainwreck of a dining experience...

If your looking for pizza, your better off going to the Pizza Hut.
(2)Gidget A.
First time eating here and I liked it. The Canadian Bacon Pizza was good. Mozzarella sticks, EHHH.. I had better. Service was not that swift assuming they were short. I would come back.
(4)Shawn S.
Great breakfast! A wonderful surprise because I didn't think a pizza place for breakfast. I was greeted & seated right away by a friendly person named Burt. This place looks very nice. A place you would be happy to bring your wife & family. The Pancakes, eggs, & sausage I ordered today were all excellent! Coffee was also very good. To top it off my server, Taryn, was friendly and helpful with suggestions on their menu. Pizza Bob's is a must for breakfast. I will be back... soon!
(5)Mathias H.
It was not really a planned visit and I must say that it is not a place I would have chosen but we were driving up to the North shore and I was just starving so we tried to find somewhere for breakfast and I did not feel like driving around forever so we went here. I was expecting it to be pretty awful but was positively surprised. We were promptly shown a table and ordered some breakfast and coffee. The coffee was quickly given to us and while it was pretty bad it was not undrinkable. then we waited, waited and waited - food took forever. The place was not even close to being half-full and we still waited around 30 minutes for our breakfast. When it come my omelet was however very tasty,my fiancee had the french toast which according to her was not that good (no real flavor other than an overwhelming sweetness). Still a decent place for breakfast - not cheap but not that expensive either. Do however not go here if you are in a hurry. Not only did we have to wait for the food but getting the bill also took a long time and then we actually gave up waiting and walked up to entrance to pay it.
(3)Dan T.
The food here is OK, there are limited options for where to eat here that is convenient. I think the food is pretty expensive. its hard to pay $24+ for a pizza - and its not stellar either. The other less than spectacular reviews are pretty much spot on.
(3)Scott H.
There are lots of better options in waleiwa, skip this one. I didnt check the review before eating here, but honestly was not expecting to see such a high rating when I got done eating. We had garlic bread app, half pizza, chicken caesar and a fish sandwich. They just pour on seasoning to the pizza and garlic bread to the point where it felt like chewing on sand. The sauce was almost as bad as the fake ketchup that they hide in old Heinz bottles (most definitely not Heinz). The chicken in the chicken ceasar was like the precooked package of rubbery stuff you see in the supermarket, and it was served cold in a side bowl. what?? I could understand if the prices were half of what they were, but this place serves food that I would expect at a cheap all-inclusive in Mexico for drunk spring breakers. Just avoid... first time I've ever had to write such a bad review...
(1)Dean C.
Service blows! Food took over an hour and arrived luke warm. Staff seemed to have forgotten us. Requests for refills went unanswered. Would have had a better dining experience at 7-11.
(1)Natalie W.
Solid pizza!... with the the consistency and texture of crust that I like- but with a slightly bland crust taste. Bob's offers salads, a few pasta options, make your own pizza options, and pizza combos. The pizza are ordered in 1/2, regular, or large. The combos can be ordered half and half also- two pizzas in one! A whole regular pizza runs about $22-27. We ordered a white pizza sauce combo and a red pizza sauce combo- the white sauce toppings combo was really good- the red sauce combo was basic and filling. The pizza does not come with a lot of sauce, and is comprised more of toppings and a medium thickness of cheese. FYI's~ * Large outdoor patio with seating- has covered patio options * Fun tourist souvenir t shirts * old Haleiwa restaurant with lots of seating and a cute start up story
(3)Kevin S.
Good pizza, but pricy
(4)John C.
Nice lunch spot when you are on the North Shore. Pizzas are great and salads were fresh. Had a couple Longboard Draft beers to wash everything down. Waiter was friendly and efficient. Overall still a nice place.
(4)Natasha B.
Okayyyy... My family and I tried the pizza and it was very good. I love the garlic crust! The thing is, is that we're from the mid-west and we have our own way we like our pizza. Well they have a "create your own" section. The pizza started out at $18. And some odd change. But every topping cost $3.50!!! I'm sorry but I'm used to paying about 20-25 bucks on pizza! I know these are island prices but still...With drinks and pizza it was $48 something:( so minus a star for the price. And our waiter came to our table a total of 3 times. Once for drink orders, once for the food order, and once to get us a box for the leftovers.... So minus a star because joe blow wouldn't hardly wait on us.
(3)Bobbie L.
This is one of those places that we would just drive by every time going through town. After hearing it was actually good, we gave it a shot. We will definately go back. The pizzas were good (good and greasy). But so was the burger!! Yummy. It wasn't that busy, so we didn't feel too horrible when our 3 boys (4, 2 and 2 months) wasn't the quietest kids in the world. The employees did forget about us a little. I would have thought they would have wanted to give us the bill right away (due to our kids) but we actually had to get up and ask for it (that is why there are one star short of perfect).
(4)Rob W.
I like this place so much I think they should call it "Pizza Rob's." They got good specials 4pm til closing everyday of the week except Sunday. Definitely go on Thursday for $3 night, huge pizza slices, house salad, Mai Tais, wine & more all $3 each. I had 2 slices of 4 Cheese Pizza, a house salad & a Mai Tai for $12....in Hawaii....does life get any better than this? NO. Same offerings on Saturday for $4 each. Good mix of locals & tourist. Huge patio area in nice tropical garden setting. Great service. If you don't love Pizza Bob's you must have a cold heart and a dead soul!?!

This is my first review of a restaurant on Yelp and unfortunately it's not a good review at all about Pizza Bob's. This was my first time to Hawaii and so I wanted an experience myself and my lovely girlfriend would remember so I booked us a room at The Turtle Bay Resort for one week away from all the tourists in Honolulu. The only problem with staying at the Turtle Bay is driving to find a nice restaurant that's where Yelp comes in. We were in the mood for some Italian food and did a search on Yelp and came across Pizza Bob's, we walked into the restaurant only to be told someone would be with us in a moment the restaurant was not full at all after maybe five minutes we were seated. It was a Saturday night and we noticed the restaurant has a special you can get a 1/4 of a pizza for $4.50 which we found out consists of two little slices of pizza, you can also get salad for the same price so we ordered that as well. I ordered us an appetizer of Mozzarella sticks that came out not hot at all and the Marinara sauce that came with them was the worst sauce I had ever tasted in my life. Our pizza was just ok nothing special the $5 Little Caesar's pepperoni pizza puts this place to shame. I wonder how this place has been able to stay in business for so many years. My advice stay clear of this place if you want great pizza take the drive down to Honolulu and get California Pizza Kitchen you won't be sorry at all. North Shore needs to stick to what they do best and that's great fish not pizza.
(1)Patricia F.
We visited Pizza Bob's on our first trip to Hawaii, visiting from California. After running away from the Honolulu area screaming because it was so like Los Angeles on a beach, and so disappointed in the food there, we retreated to North Shore and Pizza Bob's in Hale'iwa. Did we find a treat! We ate out on the patio which was great, and we sat and watched the geckos cruise around the trellis and umbrellas while we waited for our food. The pizza was great, the prices were good (compared to what you find elsewhere on the island!!) and the staff was very friendly. We were on Oahu for 10 days and ate here 3 times! Will return next visit.
(5)Nihi N.
I didn't realize you could have breakfast there, in which I did. The portions were huge and the restaurant was very nice, our server was great, the only thing I didn't like and still don't, is adding the tip in the bill, I like to tip on performance, not out of obligation!
(3)Brent M.
Ate here right after getting off the plane and driving into town and loved it. It may just be that we were STARVING but the pizza and mozzarella sticks were solid. Prices were a little steep for what we got but it's a good spot and the people there are friendly, which seems to be rare at some local restaurants
(4)Kimberley S.
Godfather pizza is delicious ! Draft beer reasonably priced. Despite what reviews say, service was excellent.
(4)Bob W.
Besides the cheese garlic bread, nothing else was good. I had a cheeseburger and it was the only cheeseburger I ever hated. It tasted like I was eating mystery meat and dishwater. My friends split a pizza. It was an OK size but it tasted like, well, dishwater. Overall I was not satisfied wig my dinner.
(2)Page I.
Horrible pizza. :( It doesn't taste much different from frozen pizza--almost similar to Digiorno. The prices are outrageous as well... I don't know the exact measurement in terms of feet and inches, but in layman's terms, I would say the pie was about the size of a dinner plate, for $20 (half veggie supreme, half pepperoni). The service is pretty much non-existent, too, we practically had to twist the waitress' arm to get her to give us a water refill. We went while it was still pretty empty, around 5 pm.
(2)Lauren S.
I got a big island burger and it wasn't bad. Wasn't amazing. Wasn't awful. Service was alright, and at least they had a table for a group of our size! For being a little empty I thought the food wait was a little long but that's alright I guess. I don't head up to Haleiwa often, so not sure if I'll be around here much but it's a last resort spot if other waits nearby are too long.
(3)Tricia K.
I always look forward to returning home and eating lunch or dinner at Pizza Bob's. They have an outdoor patio (perfect for Hawaii) and good food. It is a pizza and grill menu and good service. Once I was there with family and a lid was loose on the salt and the it spill on my plate but the waiter grabbed it before I could even blink - returned it to the kitchen and brought out a fresh plate. Now THAT is service. He got a good tip!
(5)Ian A.
there pizza's are way awesome! order the hawaiian pizza pineapple and canadian bacon.. kinda pricey but hey it's the only good pizza place in the north shore area.. Great place to go before or after the beach..
(4)Jeannanicole D.
Good pizza and COLD delicious caesar salad. Staff is a little sketchy but they're not too slow.
(3)Ranell L.
In the heart of haleiwa town! I used to come here when a was just a little girl. We went here recently for a date night and it was great. The food was yummy! Its good to know that they have food specials 7 days a week! The price point was really good. I ordered the white pizza and absolutely loved it. The server we had was really nice.
(4)Gaelen L.
Pizza goers beware! Overpriced and under-flavored! My wife and I came here on a whim and were thoroughly disappointed. The homemade sauce was barely there, meaning we couldn't even taste it. The fresh garlic was so overpowering and I am a garlic fanatic! The pizzas will run you $20-30. I would've rather spent my cash at Calif. Pizza Kitchen. The only good thing was the friendly wait staff. I can't believe we paid $54 for a pizza, app, and 2 drinks. STAY AWAY!
(1)Brandon F.
The service was good not great, same with the food it was good but not amazing.
(2)Mindy B.
We came here for dinner in the past few weeks and had a horrible experience. We arrived and were not greeted by anyone for 5 minutes. We were finally seated and waited 15 minutes for someone to help us. We placed our order for pizza and 30 minutes later it arrived and it was not what we ordered. The waiter, who wore a flower behind his ear, seemed very overwhelmed and disorganized. It wazn't very busy. The pizza tasted alright so we were happy about that. I would suggest to find a different place to eat Italian food in Haleiwa if you want great customer service.
(1)Megan G.
Not bad for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Two huge salads, a burger and fries, two beers and the total was still less than 25 bucks! Not such a bad spot for a quick casual bite.
(3)Crystal B.
I laughed out loud when I read Harmony L.'s review, because I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing... I was incredibly and very happily surprised by the delicious dressing on the caesar salads. It tasted like it was made in house from scratch, a very rare thing for caesar dressing. I could taste the garlic, the lemon, and it was awesome! It made me very excited about my entree. The entree (the Pasta Barcelona) was good, but nothing like the dressing on the salad. It had chunks of chicken rather than slices, and it didn't really have any sear on it which made it a little bland. The sauce was good, but there was a serious lack of artichokes in the pasta, which was the part that would have made the dish more interesting. It was an okay dish. Next time I'll just get an entree salad. The service was also okay. The server seemed insanely busy, so I want to cut him a little slack. We ordered an appetizer (which we were charged for) but it never arrived. He was quick about taking it off the check and our waters did get refilled, so no harm no foul. A-ok seems like a good rating for how I felt about the meal. I'll be back for the salads, but I don't know that I'll venture much further than that.
(3)James L.
Considering the price, this place is not really a great place for pizza. It cost about $13 for a half-sized of a 1ft pizza, which is good for two small eaters, or a moderate eater. There's a fairly good selection, but the taste of it was definitely not as good as the bigger guys. Other than that the service was okay, but it took a while for us to be seated considering how empty the restaurant was. If you're up in this Haleiwa area, try something more local.
(3)Michelle L.
pizzas are alright, small kine pricey. my friend and i shared half a pizza and it was definitely not enough food, at least for me. my friend was impressed they made half of the half pizza without cheese for her since she is lactose intolerant. our food took forever and a half to come. our group devoured our appetizer loooooong before anything else arrived. service was lacking for sure. our waiter got tired of filling our waters or something so he just gave us to whole damn pitcher. wow, thanks. but overall its not a bad place to hit up after the beach.
(3)salina l.
went for breakfast. there was only a couple other people eating there. it took more than 20min to get our cold food. the waitress never came to fill our coffee, we went behind the bar to fill it ourselves. the food was good but the bad service ruined the "going out to breakfast".
(2)Tracie F.
Can I give negative stars???? Where do I start? We were seated immediately in a nice booth. That's where the positive comments end. A young kid came to take our order and we weren't ready. He acted put out and told us he would come back. We asked him if a pizza would really take the 20 min prep time the menu stated (which I thought was a nice touch). He said that it would. We decided to order items that wouldn't take as long since I had an injured back and couldn't sit very long. Meanwhile a large party came and our snotty little server went to take their order. 20 minutes later we still had no food but the large party whose order was taken AFTER ours had 3 steaming hot pizzas coming to their table. Apparently one was not to their liking so I stopped the kid and asked him if we could have that pizza if they didn't want it. "you'll have to buy it you know?" um really??? You don't give out free food here??? Thanks for the news flash. I assured him I was willing to pay for it. He took it back to the kitchen and returned with our food (I guess that meant "no you can't have the pizza"). My soup was cold. Not lukewarm. Not kinda warm. COLD. The bread was lukewarm. At this point we told the waiter we wanted to talk to the manager. He stormed off to go talk to a lady near the bar. She carried on a conversation with another employee and then took care of other guests. While she was seating them I asked her if we could see her when she was done. Embarrassing me in front of the other guests, she loudly told me she would speak with me when she was done. She brought her sassy little butt to our table and continued to tell us that we didn't have to eat the food. Thank you for your permission to NOT eat the food. She was rude, condescending and showed no care or concern for us as patrons. I took my walker, informed her I was not going to be treated rudely by her or her wait staff and walked out. Meanwhile, my mom stayed at the table and the manager smirked and looked at my mom apologetically like "gosh I am so sorry you have genetic relation to her". She grabbed the food from my moms and told her again that she didn't have to eat it. I think she was worried mom was gonna do the ole slip the cheeseburger in the purse and dash routine. Seriously I wanted to tell her where to shove her cheeseburger. I will eat at Purina feed company before I ever step foot in that rat hole again.
(1)Kaylee H.
Food was fine, atmosphere was ok, but the service sucked. I guess I'll never understand why a restaurant will have a sea of empty tables and a line a mile long waiting for a table. You don't have enough servers for all those tables? Then GET them. We waited and waited... and waited. When we finally were shown to one of those empty tables, it took about an hour for us to finally get our food. No refills on iced tea and water. People at a neighbor table who were seated after us got their food before we did. NOT cool. But we were on vacation so we said "no worries." We go to Hawaii a couple times a year and will not be coming back here.
(2)Carol K.
Food is ok not amazing or anything special. Inside looks a little older and a little dirty, mostly just sand and dust everywhere. Overall it was a meh experience.
(2)Steve A.
Ok, so this might not have been the best choice in restaurants In Haleiwa. Still, we were killing time before hitting the Polynesian Cultural Center and wanted some Hawaii pizza. Oddly, we ordered the veggie pizza instead. The pizza was decently good, and it was obviously made fresh, but the whole experience felt too ... bland. We got seated outside, where the tables and chairs weren't clean, swarms of flies hit our food and service was harder to come by. If the food was out of this world, it may have garnered a 4 star and repeat business. As it is, I wouldn't go back, even if I was a local.
(2)Tanya E.
Went for late lunch yesterday after the beach. We ate the zucchini fries and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. Both had a sweet after taste like a funnel cake batter, and both seemed to be frozen food quality. I ordered the Sicilian sandwich; turkey, pepperoni, ham, tomato on toasted bread with fries. The waitress said it was her favorite sandwich, so I had high hopes. The sandwich came out and I was not impressed. The meat seemed like luncheon meat and the fries were soggy. The sandwich flavors were ok, still something I could have made better for myself at home. After our meal my tummy immediately started to hurt. Which is odd because I have a very strong stomach. I'm not sure if it was from all the fries food or just my meal in general. In short I will not be returning.
(2)Rissa K.
I went here with my co-workers and tried the "Godfather" pizza. We ordered a regular size which is more than enough for 2-3 people. The toppings were pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. The pizza was very oily but tasty. The crust was a bit hard but overall it was ok. They have comfy booth seatings in there and service is ok.
(3)Vince F.
My family and I used to be regulars at Pizza Bobs. Sadly, they did away with the biscuits and gravy. It was my favorite and we haven't been back since. The other food is just OK but the servers are mostly super friendly.
(2)Elena S.
On our way out to the Airport and had never been to Pizza Bob's so we stopped in for early lunch! It was so delicious, the service was excellent! Our server Kristie was so beyond sweet! We ordered a Big Island Burger and a Fish Sandwich, both were delicious! we were full for most of the day. Not to mention my Long Island Iced Tea was great- and strong! Kristie was awesome! Definitely going back whenever we are in Oahu again!
(5)Emy M.
Date of visit: 8/7/2015 After a fun snorkeling session at North Shore, my uncle wanted to take us to Matsumoto's, so we ended up in the same plaza as Pizza Bob's. Being that it was a hot day, we decided to take advantage of the indoor seating and AC at Pizza Bob's. Upon our entry, it was obvious that the kitchen was slammed with a large group that came in before us. Our hostess and waitress were extremely apologetic about this, and ensured that what they could get out quickly came out fast. I had a small breakfast, so I was starving and appreciated this gesture. Mango Smoothie. I ordered this smoothie thinking that it would be light and refreshing, but it was ice cream based. This resulted in a heavy smoothie that I didn't enjoy, but Cam really enjoyed. Caesar Salad. The salad came out really quickly, but was overdressed. The croutons were really good though. It also came with chicken and avocado, which was an interesting addition. I was picking off of Anthony's salad, and he really seemed to enjoy it. Zucchini Fries. Uncle Danny ordered these and I thought that they were just okay. The zucchini was really soggy and the breading was really oily. Buffalo Wings. The sauce on the wings was pretty spicy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the chicken was a bit dry and oily since they were deep fried. Not terrible, but not the best wings I've ever had. East Side, West Side Pizza. My Dad and Cam split a large size of this pizza along with sharing some pieces with Anthony and me, so it was definitely plenty of food. This pizza has a thick crust, which wasn't too bad, although the crust was a little chewier than I would have liked. The toppings were pretty standard (Canadian bacon & pineapple), although I did enjoy the pineapple much more than usual (Hawaii placebo effect?). California Club (no onions). By the time my entrée came out, I was already full and didn't know where this was going to fit in my stomach. I had a couple of bites, which were pretty good. It's definitely an awkward sandwich to eat and the bread just soaks up all the wet ingredients, which makes the onion bun much less appetizing. Overall Pizza Bob's was just okay. It satiated my hunger, but it is definitely not on my "must visit again" list. The staff here is great though!
(3)Marina G.
We have been coming to Oahu once or twice a year for the past 10 years and have always stopped at Pizza Bobs. It has been decent in the previous years, but seems like it's gone downhill. First red flag was when the restaurant next door had an hour wait and we got right in at Pizza Bob's. We sat down and noticed that everything around was quite dirty: the vents in the ceiling had about an inch of dust hanging off them, the booth, the ceiling fans, really everything - quite dirty. My husband went to the bathroom and said that is probably the most disgusting bathroom he had ever seen and it feels like it's not even the same place any more. We ordered our food. The server was friendly and efficient. The food arrived and it was utterly disgusting. I had Barcelona pasta: basically some pasta with too much flavorless canned Alfredo sauce dumped on it. Their advertised chicken breast ended up being some odds and ends of a chicken that had fat and cartridge that I had to spit out. I had 3 spoonfuls of this and couldn't eat it anymore. My husband's fish sandwich was ok and he was kind enough to share since I couldn't eat mine. The fries that came with his sandwich were half black. Usually indicative that the frying oil they use hasn't been changed out in a while and is old. Used to be a decent place, but we won't be going back. The place is filthy, the food is horrible and the pure thought of how dirty their kitchen might be makes me want to vomit.
(1)Ben M.
Good service and great pizza. My girlfriend and I were both pleased with our meals as I got the pepperoni pizza and she got the pasta with meat sauce.
(4)Jim M.
Ordered a couple of pies and they had shifted quite a bit so we had to do topping surgery; lots of cheese but not much in the way of sauce. So not much in the way of flavor. The crust was decent but not enough to sway me for a second visit.
(2)RJ B.
I don't know what others are complaining about, we had the perfect breakfast at Pizza Bob's. Our server was attentive and sweet, the hostess made nice small talk. And the only thing that mattered to us was a tasty breakfast, which we got. Will go back without a doubt.
(5)Rae W.
This place in Haleiwa remains a wondrous refuge. The welcome and service are always top notch, and they go out of their way to make you what you want. I described to our very friendly server a pizza I had had in Italy. Even though her expression said, "You're a bit crazy, aren't you?" she dutifully explained my request of having a pizza without tomato sauce to the chef. When my pizza was put before me, I was very, very excited. It was not exactly like the one in I had had in Italy, but it wasn't the chef's fault. I mean, there is no homemade mozzerella here, is there? Nor are there many vine-ripened, organically grown Roma tomatoes. This chef produced his/her best effort, but the 5-cheese pizza, produced in America, sits in a little lake of oil, which is absent in Italian pizza. It still was a valiant effort, and the staff here is outstanding. Pizza Bob's remains one of my favorite Haleiwa stops!
(5)Lindsley S.
I'm a local in Hawaii for 10 years, trust me, eat some place else. Pizza Bob's serves mediocre food, you get a 50/50 chance of lame service, and the manager (lady/owner not sure) is pathetic. I only go there to use their bathroom.
(1)Sean Y.
I'm sitting here writing my review as I wait for either my wife to finish her meal or my empty water glass to be refilled. The water glass has been empty for around 15 minutes. The sever was nice but we had like 4 different people come by the table, none offering refills. The pizza was okay. Be careful all the toppings slid off mine as I picked up a slice. The wings were good! Though I think they visited a micro as they were steaming hot and soggy. Weird. My wife had the loco moco. She said it was okay but wouldn't order it again. Overall it was okay though I don't think I'd ever come back. But we were starving and she wanted ice cream from Scoop of Paradise. This was the only place open at that time.
(2)Marie M.
We ate at Pizza Bobs for breakfast and it was OK. I got the Loco Moco and it was somewhat bland, especially the meat but it was decent once I out soy sauce and tabasco on it. My boys had the banana pancakes and they really didn't like them, I relied some and they were tough and very dense. My daughter had the Mac Nut french toast and she loved them, I tried some and it was delicious, we should have all got them! So 1 out of 3...probably wouldn't return though, much better food elsewhere.

I'm writing this as I wait for my burger... I've been waiting for over an hour. My cup is empty and I never received my appetizer. We use to come to this place all the time. It's gone down hill. I live on the west side and I will never spend another dollar here.

Came to Pizza Bob's for lunch on a Sunday. They said food may may take a while.. Since a large group just ordered. We were fine and found it nice that they told us ahead of time. We were in no rush. Service was outstanding, they checked on us often and made sure our drinks were always full. They also gave a free salad to my wife for being patient. The place is showing its age, but gives it that North shore feel. Pizza was great. My son really enjoyed the pizza. Sandwiches and clam chowder were good. Didn't take very long... We finished our meal actually in an hour from when we arrived.. Not sure why there are bad reviews... We enjoyed it here. Will stop by here again when we make our drive around Oahu.

I gave this place a 4 star because the appetizers were delicious. My bf and I got the calamari and clam chowder. Both were delicious. Our entrees did take a bit long so by the time we got our pizza and burger we were too full to eat anymore. I got the half pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and my boyfriend got the chili burger. The pizza was alright. Nothing stood out or made me say, "wow" about it. The chili burger was alright as well but very messy. When I think of a burger I'm thinking of eating it with my hands. It was a bit messy so he had to use a fork and knife. He said the taste was alright. I gave this place a 4 star because our serve was very prompt and helpful. Overall our food was a 3 star but the service was a 4 star. It wasn't as bad other people say... or maybe I just got the good server.

Horrible.. wasted 55.00 .. wanted to just walk out. Zucchini fries were dripping in oil and soggy and pizza was wet and soggy. The waitress asked to box it up, because we literally touched nothing. I was gonna tell her I didn't want anything but I'm too nice to hurt anyone's feelings. On a good note there was a homeless man sitting outside by the trash can, and I gave him the box of Pizza and he was happy to receive it. Never again will I ever go there! Plus place was dirty...

Possibly the worst pizza I've ever had. Tried their chili cheese fries and let me tell you, I'd rather have canned chili. Pass on this place and do not look back
(1)Eric M.
I was told that it had awesome pizza and horrible service. I was expecting that when I got there but wanted to try it. To my surprise everything was good. Pizza was awesome and the waitress kept my glass full. It wasn't very busy so that may had been why.
(4)Adam B.
Very slow and when our drinks were empty the waitress walked pass us like 7 times and didn't say anything and the chili cheese fries were bad. Also do not Order the pizza because the cheese falls off.

Definitely deserving of ZERO stars. Walking thru Haleiwa and Pizza Bob's is where my hungry family wanted to go. So we go in, sit down and order. The wait for our food takes about 20-25 mins to arrive. Finally we get our food and my wife's chili moco is cold. Definitely NOT hot, NOT warm, but COLD! So we tell the wait staff about the food and they take it back to the kitchen. Then we wait. And wait. And wait. About another 30 minutes passes by. Finally we flag down our server and ask what's going on. She apologizes again and starts telling us that the cook hasn't even begun remaking our food. She also does on that the manager went back there and started making the food herself because of the cook's "BAD ATTITUDE ". Honestly, we don't care. Whatever problems you have with your staff has nothing to do with us. And it should NOT effect the service your customer's receive. At this point we say cancel that order, we've had it and got to go. As we start packing up, the manager comes out and once again apologizes. She agreed that the food was cold and even demonstrated how she stuck her finger in the food, in front of the cook. She goes on explaining her frustrations with the kitchen, but like I said it doesn't matter. As a manager, handle that business behind the scenes. Never let your customers know what's going on and make sure they always have the best experience while they are there. We go to pay the bill for our meal. The manager continues to apologize and explain how she had to remake the dinner herself. Then she tells us that after all of the inconvenience, she won't be charging us for the remade dinner. Gee thanks. As we get home, of course wife is starving now. She opens up her to go box to eat and of course...... THERE IS NO F-ING HAMBURGER PATTY in the chili moco!!! After all of this and how the manager had to remake it herself...... Really NO HAMBURGER PATTY?!?! Needless to say, WE WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK THERE AGAIN!!! Such a shame to travel all the way from Kaneohe to have such the world's WORST experience. If anyone asks for good food recommendations, were definitely not sending anyone to Pizza Bob's. Hopefully they get there staff inline, but not soon enough for us.

I never expect a pizza place to be phenomenal here on the island, as I was born and raised here, so that's just not my expectations. But I didn't expect it to be this poor of service. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was alright (I had the White Pizza sans mushrooms), but not for how much the "specialties" were. But the server... Jesus Christ, it was BAD. First off, it took her close to 10 minutes to even come up to us for the first time, and about 15 minutes to check up on us every other time. And the restaurant wasn't even close to being busy! Then to make matters worse, she would ask us what we wanted, and then walk off before we could choose to go help other tables. And because she kept doing that, she "didn't hear" one of my friend's pizza order, even though he was the first to order... So she had to put the order in about 7 minutes after the rest of the table got our food. Should have known it was going to be sub-par when the Mai Tai that was ordered was watered down and gross. Especially when the cheese sticks were clearly taken out of a plastic bag in the freezer. A complete disappointment.

We were in Haleiwa Town, really hungry and looking for somewhere to get food.. And fast. We came across Pizza Bob's, having heard that not only was their pizza good, but their burgers, too. We got seated and everything was fine. Got our drinks, ordered, and our appetizer came. We had chili cheese fries. After that.. Things went downhill. It was crowded today, all the tables filled up. The two tables next to us both had problems during their meal. The waitress had done something wrong, either forgotten to place one of their orders or who knows what? Both tables didn't get their order of cheese pizza until the end of their meal, or right before they were about to get out of their seats to leave. I don't think she charged them for their order, which I guess makes it a little better.. But still doesn't make up for not having it in the first place. The two other tables around me came and sat down. I'm quite positive they didn't order or get their drinks until 10 minutes after arriving. A bit frustrating, if you ask me. However, the waitress was really nice and seemed genuinely sorry. Maybe she was new, or having an off day. We all have those, don't we? The food.. It's decent. The fries are on the soggy side, and as a lover of crunchy fries, I was disappointed. The chili on the chili cheese fries was good: not too runny and not too thick, either. However after eating this, I found myself to be happy because I decided against ordering the chili burger. Wow okay I was writing this review as I was sitting and waiting for my food.. But guess what? It never came. We canceled our order because even after about 45 minutes of waiting, the kitchen hadn't even started making our food. Excuse me. But.. What the hell!? How can a place that makes pizza and burgers.. Be THAT busy? I'm done. That was a bust. Very disappointed. I actually had some hope. In the time that I was there, four groups left unhappy. One of them being us. Another group being the people who just sat down next to us and overheard our "your food hasn't been made yet" conversation. The other two groups being people who hadn't gotten part of their order. Sorry, but wow.. I'm probably never returning. Didn't even get a "our kitchen is busy" warning. After reading this review.. You should understand why they received one star. At least we got to sit in the air conditioning.
(1)Mel P.
It's receiving ONE star because once I FINALLY did get my food, it was decent (or I was starving at this point). Our water glasses were always empty and we were having to always ask for them to be filled (with the exception of when they were first placed on the table). We ordered an appetizer of fries and didn't receive them until right before our food hit the table because of the "fry kitchen being backed up". They must have had someone catching fresh shrimp that day because it took an hour for our plate to hit the table ... This is after the normal lunch rush. It's ok because our waiter was skilled! He was amazing! He was skilled and amazing at knowing how to walk past our table multiple times without making eye contact and seeing if we needed anything else!

How is this place still in business??!! There food is shit and the workers don't seem to care. I would rather see this place close than grass skirt grill, now that was great food. Save yourself time and money and just drive to Wailua and go to jerry's pizza, super tasty!
(1)Glenn Y.
Pizza Bobs was a bit of a disappointment. The inside smelt like my grandmother's antique house, and the outside smelt of dirt and natural gas (not sure if there was a leak or not). The food was adequate at best. Despite having pizza as a specialty, I wouldn't recommend it. We also order Buffalo Wings, which were good, and my wife ordered a salad/chili combo which was surprisingly decent. Our server, Courtney, was good and earned a third star but otherwise the restaurant was lacking. As an island local, I probably won't be going back.
(3)Aulii H.
When you're out in Haleiwa and craving a pizza, you have to go to Pizza Bob's. Like any other pizza place, the more ingredients there are the more expensive it is, but it's totally worth it. The ingredients are fresh, the dough is just the right consistency, and the sauce is not too overpowering. The salad is also really fresh, and is a good size for the price. We tried the chicken wings which were a nice size, was not too salty, moist, and crispy. They were so good, we even ordered more wings to go! The servers were very friendly from the time we walked in, to the time we walked out. It's so hard to find places with great service from beginning to end even at high end establishments. My suggestion is to eat pizza here and then have dessert at Matsumoto Shave Ice. While you're out here, you should just experience all of Haleiwa at once.
(5)Kyle P.
Worst pizzeria we went to on this trip the food trucks near by make better pizza. Very costly for extra toping and on top of that they put them under the cheese witch is weird to me. The inside is way out of date and needs a makeover badly. They need to shorten their menu and get rid of stuff like hamburgers. Jerry's Pizza down the road is way better and cost less.
(1)Sheri M.
Nothing special here...pizza, salads and sandwiches. Service: okay...workers could be friendlier Food: okay...I did like the dill mayo with my cajun fish sandwich but fish was salty, fries were soft not crispy Atmosphere: gloomy, old fashioned...needs updating Prices: 1 fish sandwich, 1 kid's cheese pizza, and diet cola...$20 Won't be back..
(2)Manny B.
Great pizza but got an attitude from the Filipina waitress (who's pretending to have an american accent). Service should not be this bad. It does not compliment the great tasting food/pizza that this place offers. What a disservice to the management of this place. Boo hoo.
(3)Carly I.
First time here. Decided to drop in since it was visible from the road and it had lots of parking. The hostess was an older lady. Very flat effect. The plus about the menu is that it clearly states that pizza will take 20 minutes. Outside seating is nice. There's a good breeze. Great for people watching. Our waitress, Kristie, was kind of awkward. She brought our sodas and 1 water. There were 2 of us at the table. We ordered our food, and the way she said "thank you" was as if we just complimented her. A little too cheery. The first thing that came out was our Caesar salad. The dressing was good, there was just too much of it on the plate. The croutons had a nice garlic taste at first but that ended quickly with the burnt taste that followed. Our Godfather pizza came out piping hot. The sauce is a little watery but the tomato chunks in it definitely make up for it. It seems that they sauce the crust, add toppings, then put the cheese. That could explain why the toppings slide off so easily. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings though. They could also have cooked the crust longer. The center was doughy. We also ordered a Barcelona pasta. The waitress had told us numerous times that it was coming out. When she dropped the dish off at our table, we saw that it was the chicken and broccoli pasta. We had to flag her down and she laughed and said she rung it up wrong. No apologies. Took too long to replace the pasta. We ended up cancelling it. Took another 10 minutes to get our check. As we were leaving, not a single person said thanks, bye, see you again.
(2)Gen M.
If I could give this place no star I would. My experience here was the worst. I ordered chicken pasta, which was over cooked, they took forever to serve our food, and to top it off I got food poisoning from what I ate.
(1)Yary C.
Even though I saw the 2.5 out 5 that I told my husband about. He wanted to go anyways, he wanted pizza. I order just large cheese pizza for me and my boys, I dint wanna paid a lot for something I was 95% sure I wasn't gonna like. And I was right he didn't like his pizza and didn't mine. The sause you can know and taste that it came straight from the can, probably the hunts sause that costco sells, nasty. For me sauce in a pizza is my #1 thing!!! No good sause, no good pizza! Waiter was nice, time to have our pizzas 40min and rest was kinda empty !! No good! This would be the last place I would eat in Haleiwa! Next time my husband say he will listen to me lol!!! :)
(1)Linda S.
The kids were craving some pizza. . The pizza was yummy! The pizza had a fresh tasting tomato sauce and seasoning. I would come here again! The service was also great. Very friendly and made you feel welcomed.

i came in here late one night with son. We were treated great. We had a really good pizza and it was an overall great experience.

Terrible... we were very hungry so we ordered a LRG, but their large is the size of pizza huts small?! REALLY? and it was very expensive at $27.00? REALLY? #EPICFAIL

Pizza Bob's for breakfast? You bet! While waiting for Clark Little's Gallery to open we decided to go to Pizza Bob's, because they were open for breakfast. We didn't have great expectations (it is a pizza place after all), but we were quite pleasantly surprised! Apparently, a lot of locals know the secret, as it was fairly busy, with several large groups. Our waitress, Cherise, was very friendly, and gave us suggestions. I settled on the Noelle (a ham, onion and mushroom omelette), and the cook did not skimp on the fillings. Cherise told us that Auntie Danielle does the cooking during the week, and she is their best cook in both speed and quality. So if you are hanging out in Haleiwa early on a weekday morning, and looking for a good breakfast, don't forget about Pizza Bob's!
(4)Jarod H.
Five stars. I love the chicken & artichoke pizza, half size with a burger. Good stuff! Don't know why all the hates for Pizza Bob's. I personally enjoy coming here and chowing down on the good food. Can't get any better than this combo and unique type of pizza.
(5)Charles H.
Good godfather pizza. My kids watched the koi in their pool. I had the burger steak which wasn't bad.
(4)Kehau S.
Met a good friend from high school here. Made reservations and I was impressed with the great service we received from Belinda. She was sweet, personable & super speedy! The iced tea was delicious, the fried calamari appetizer was ONO! My salad - what can I say - remarkable, fresh & huge! The other orders looked equally yummy - salad & soup & pasta dish. The re-fill's were much appreciated as it was a hot day today. Thank you for your wonderful food & unbelievable, excellent service. We vow to return!
(5)Bryan B.
I am not sure why this place has a few bad reviews. Our server (Charisse) was wonderful, taking care of our party of 11. The pizzas were great and we enjoyed the atmosphere! Thanks
(5)Richard S.
Went for pizza today. Had a sausage pizza which was decent for pizza in a pinch. I don't really expect a lot from pizza on the island. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. So was bust boy/assistant waiter. Unfortunately the cook put a sour taste in my mouth after refusing to make the pizza I requested by putting less sausage on it so my daughter could enjoy a cheese only part of the pizza. I was still paying for the extra topping but couldn't believe the cook had the gall to refuse to put less sausage on part of the pizza. Needless to say, I won't be returning which is unfortunate since the rest of the staff was very friendly.
(2)Dane M.
Had to wait 20 mins to be seated, 50 minutes for food. Little attention from staff. Mediocre pizza and ok burgers. Also they were out of what we wanted. Bad service, mediocre food. Ran out of fries, but didn't tell us; didn't even offer to substitute, after paying they offered to give us a dollar off, when asked, but grudgingly. Never again will I eat at Pizza Bob's.
(1)Tabitha L.
I got here right at noon on a Sunday. Not crowded. The zucchini fries are amazing!! Our kids loved them. It is very down to earth and not your cleanest establishment but it works well.
(4)Kyra W.
Came in at 630 and the seater wasn't even friendly at all. Then we ordered at 645 and didn't get our food until 730....it isn't even busy and we ordered two salads and a sandwich. The Caesar salad looked like it had microwaveable chicken in it, not grilled, and the Katsu ahi sandwich was hyped with wasabi mayo and there was none in the sandwich. Our server, Judah was real nice when he came to the table but that was a rarity. The only time he came real quick was to pick up the bill when we payed. Overall, the food was basic, the service was awful, and the overall vibe from everyone who worked here except for Judah was that they didn't want to be at work. Definitely won't be going here again.
(1)Paul B.
Terribly slow. Messed up a simple pizza that was not hot and bell pepper they added late was raw. Held hamburger in kitchen when correcting pizza. I would never come here again when there so many other choices in the area
(1)Joe S.
For a North Shore restaurant, it really is the best one in Haleiwa. A little expensive though it's all worth it in the end. First of all, it's air conditioned. That's a BIG plus this area of the island. Sure there are other burger places (and Mexican, Shrimp Truck, etc.) though A/C on a hot day is priceless. Then there's the convenience of a restroom, ample seating, cold beer, hot Pizza & Burgers and cold Salads... Try the simple "Bobby Burger" with a medium grilling. Comes with all the fixings and Fries. I had a Diet Coke while I waited for my food. We had it cut in half (enough for two) and ate at a nearby beach.
(5)Nikki K.
Good location right in the heart of Haleiwa and has a parking lot out back. We walked in and it was a little musty so we sat outside. Our waitress was very prompt. They really help one another out, the manager brought out our appetizer which shows that they don't just leave food sitting in the window for the waitress to pick up. The wings were tasty, one of the best we have had since living in Hawaii (from NY so we have pretty high standards for bar food) but only got 7 for $12. The rest of the food was mediocre. Nothing worth going back for. There are much better options on the North Shore that are worth the hefty price. No wonder it was the only lunch place without a long line...
(3)T.j. M.
For having pizza in the name of the restaurant it really wasn't that good however the atmosphere and service was really good as well as the cleanliness
(3)Jeff K.
Our first breakfast on north shore Hawaii was at pizza bobs in haliewa, not a planned visit because I somehow drove past Ted's bakery and it would've been a hassle to turn around. We saw the sign that mentioned breakfast so why not? They had everything decorated for Halloween with spider webs everywhere. Our waitress was from France and very upbeat. (darn, forgot her name). She was helpful and pleasant to speak to. Being that we were in Hawaii, I risked having a poor dining experience and ordered the loco moco, which I will admit isn't my favorite plate in Hawaiian cuisine. This, I must say was the BEST example of the dish that I have ever tried! Simply perfect and as the norm when partaking in a huge loco moco I wasn't hungry until dinnertime. Others had a Noellas omelet and some banana pancakes, all were very fresh and perfectly prepared. There's a extremely picky five year old in our mits and he ate a good portion of a large pancake with a good dose of coconut syrup. All in all a totally perfect breakfast from what is basically a pizza place. This was not our last visit that's for sure! We had a nice pizza here a few years ago and it was good, but we will be back foot more delicious Hawaiian breakfast Aloha!
(5)Taryn M.
I am a server at Pizza Bob's and have been for many years. PB's is a very busy restaurant and the food can take too long and the service can be slow BUT I must address some of the personal comments, lies and slurs that have been directed at my boss Sandy Lee, none of which are true. Sandy is a kind and thoughtful person who does not and would not scream at all of us employees and make us all pay her 20% of our tips. Whom ever this person is spreading lies is very vindictive and malicious and spreading untruths can get people into a lot of trouble. I back my boss up 100% and so does the rest of the staff! For God's sake it's just a meal!
(5)Rebecca H.
I was hesitant to come based on the reviews but came anyway because pizza sounded good. Im happy I did because the pizza is really good pizza & the salad was amazing.

I made a Yelp account specifically to write this review. I went to Pizza Bob's with my boyfriend back in October. (It's taken me this long to process the horrible experience and decide that yes indeed, I do feel the need to leave feedback.) The food was fine, not great, but the service was TERRIBLE. We were out for a beach day at Haleiwa and, seeing as this place promised "New York style" pizza, my New Yorker boyfriend was intrigued, and we walked in. Our server was an older woman who greeted us with, "Hello, kids, have a seat!" Okay, fine. Except she proceeded to address us as "kids" in a very condescending tone for the rest of our time here. My boyfriend and I are in our mid-twenties. Job holding, reasonably responsible adults. We ordered our food and a couple of beers. She asked my boyfriend for his ID, and mouthed "He looks like a baby" to me while his back was turned, which I found very unprofessional. Then he gave her his New York state ID, and she proceeded to hem and haw over it, before deciding she needed to show it to her manager because "It looked suspicious." This was a legitimate ID issued by the state of New York, and if she knew how to correctly check a driver's license at all, she would have known that. After much deliberation, she came over and told us that she couldn't accept it because it expires in 8 years, and in her expert wisdom, IDs don't last for that long, even though we told her he had just renewed it the previous year. Ridiculous. This woman also walked by and snatched the drinks and dessert menu OUT OF MY HAND while I was looking at it. This was right as she came by to deliver our check, which she placed it on the table in a precarious, teetering position. My boyfriend reached out to fix it, and she SLAPPED HIS HAND AWAY, and insisted, "Don't worry about it" despite his protests. And then she knocked it onto the floor. It honestly seemed like she did it on purpose. The waitress looked at it, decided not to pick it back up, and walked away. It was so bizarre. In my boyfriend's words, it was like she was trying for slapstick comedy. I think this was actually the worst service I have ever had in my life. I almost walked out, and I definitely would not come back here again.
(1)Heather V.
I realize food in Hawaii is more expensive, but I believe the prices here are over priced for the quality of food. The food is average and nothing to brag about. If you need to buy a pizza make sure you go on the $5 off night which I believe is Thursday. The large pizza claims to feed 3-4 people, but in reality it feeds only 2 people. And if you want to have the runs all night get the 5 layer cheese pizza.
(2)Kristin J.
3 stars for food and 1 star for service. The waitress completely forgot to put in our order and after she remembered She didn't put in our daughters order. She did admit it was her mistake but after our food came it was wrong and we waited another 20 min for our daughters food. I would think that she would at least offer to deduct that meal from our check or offer her a complementary dessert but no! No tip for you Kristie!
(3)Rachel S.
While the survice was good the pizza was far from satisfying. But it has a good atmosphere.
(2)Megan M.
Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3 My husband and I went this afternoon and I have to say I wasn't blown away. We ordered a half pizza called the Roberto. I wasn't starving so I told my husband we could share the half pizza (4 slices). However I don't like mushrooms, onions, or olives so we asked our server to have half with everything on it and the other half without the toppings I didn't want (this shouldn't be an unreasonable request for $15 for 4 slices of pizza). Our server came back to tell us we would have to get the original size if we wanted to have half my way and half my husbands way... Seriously? You're telling me you can't make 2 pieces of pizza one way and the other 2 slices another. So we wound up getting 8 slices of pizza for $30. Service was slow even though we were one of 3 tables in the entire restaurant. However I will say the resturant did have a very laid back atmosphere. It had a really nice layout, but in my opinion that doesn't make up for the so-so overpriced food and slow service. I will not be going back.
(2)C C.
Seeing as this restaurant is on the North Shore of Oahu I would expect more. The server Charisse brought our drinks promptly and took our order. That was the last time we saw her for 50 mins! When she finally came by she told us our pizza would be out shortly! This after everyone around us was served, most of which came after us. We asked for it to go and it took another 10 minutes! I spoke to the manager he said he was busy, just made excuses for the waitress. It's obvious he didn't care. The restaurant was half empty on a Friday night! That should have been a sign. When we got home the pizza was horrible! Not worth the $30 we paid for it. This restaurant is not clean or tidy either. The staff was unprepared for a slow night, but I doubt this place is ever busy. Will not be going back, since Pizza Hut is cheaper and better than what they serve.
(1)James G.
Weak pizza, weak to very weak. Order the god father pizza, picked up a slice and all the toppings fell off. Paid $30 for a large pizza that I wound pay $4.99 for in the frozen foods section. The undercooked dough tasted like old stale bread sticks. Service was on par with the food.
(1)Andrew S.
Pizza Bob's has been around for a long time. Before I was even born. Growing up on the North Shore, we were lucky to always have this joint around. The bottom line is that Pizza Bob's is a restaurant that offers comfort familiar foods at reasonable prices four our little sand and surf community far removed from Honolulu. My family loves the Godfather pizza. But also and probably more importantly we usually only come in on Wednesday nights. Wednesday nights are the half-price salad nights in which I usually get the house salad with house dressing with extra cashews and cheesy garlic bread. This comes out around $10. A great deal for the North Shore.
(4)Mary Kate N.
Slow service but decent sunrise omelets, wouldn't come here if I was in a hurry or wanted something healthy but it made for a great breakfast spot after a late night out
(3)Megan R.
I heard about this place so I headed over. I saw other reviews and was a little skeptical. The service was great our server charisse was excellent and bubbly. We order wings, salad and half a pizza. Wings were great, salad was typical and yummy. Pizza.... was ok. Really greasy. The crust wasn't anything special and the sauce was a bit bland. But all in all it was good. Laid back environment. Would recommend.
(4)Blake W.
Just moved to the north shore so I was praying pizza bobs would be a chill pizza parlor with beer and good pizza and a few TVs for the games, haha NOPE! This place looked like an orphan of Applebee's and a more dull vibe than a retirement home. The staff took 10 min to come over and even acknowledge our table and the food was mediocre at best. Canned everything, no real passion in their food. Another disappointing restaurant.
(2)G H.
I eat here almost everytime I come to north shore.. Never have to wait to be seated.. Never crowded and great service..
(5)Peni S.
Pizza Bob's was the choice spot back in the days....my visit last night was THE worst. I'm a North Shore resident...born and raised. My family and I waiting a few minutes in the beginning for our waiter/waitress to get our drinks and take our order, but when my husband recieved his food (he ordered only appetizers/ chicken), it was cold. My oldest child and I waited 35 minutes, yes, 35 minutes for our food. On top of that, no one came back to fill our water nor informed us what was going on with the our meals. I'm sorry, but PB of Haleiwa is slowly going down the drain.
(1)Ter H.
A friend an I were craving some pizza and cold beer so we hit a Pizza Bobs in downtown Haleiwa. Our waitress Krista was fun an Bubbly and let us know about all the specials and brought out a couple cold beers promptly! We dined in the back patio outside that fit right in with the Hawaii atmosphere. We ordered the Kalua PIG AN PINEAPPLE ( Hawaiian Style) pizza and it was extremely tastie. We will definitely return to this fun place!
(5)Fran V.
Calamari was soggy but the White Pizza was good and the Cajun Fish Sandwich with Fries was good too. Relaxing atmosphere, and service was pretty good. We would eat there again.
(3)Crys M.
The bottom of our pizza was soft, not Crisp how I like it. The burger was ok, did not like the mozarella cheese sticks. My strawberry daquiri tasted like a strawberry icee. Service was kind of slow food took forever. Don't know if I would be back.
(3)Andreas N.
Very friendly staff but very slow kitchen. Got a 20% discount though. The food is good for that price. Big portions, didn't manage to eat it all.

Great pizza. Casual.
(4)Mark H.
Stopped in for a quick drink before lunch. Server was very friendly and helped us with some directions around town. Friends had some decent mixed drinks and the fries were nice and tasty. If I come back for food I will update this again.

Worse restaurant experience of my life. It took an hour and 15 minutes to receive our food. My burger was over cooked &cold. Everyone's sandwiches were soggy. We waited at least 30 min with empty drinks. The waitress never came to ask us how our food was. I decided to talk to the manager, and waited another 10 minutes for her. She was absolutely rude, when I explained my food was cold and aweful not to mention it took over an hour her reply was a shrug & "well we are busy" funny bc we were surrounded by empty tables and that's absolutely no excuse. I didn't even eat my burger but she would not remove from bill. I never complain at restaurants but this was an absolutely aweful experience. She gave us 10% off and walked away when I was in mid sentence. HORRIBLE service HORRIBLE over priced food. DO NOT eat here!!!!!!! We are locals and brought guests from out of town, I felt aweful bc of the bad experience, where is the Aloha experience in this restaurant? Wow :(

We come here for pizza when in town. This trip our server was super nice but the rest of the waitstaff weren't very friendly. Definitely get the Haleiwa salad and house dressing. Godfather pizza is good and they use plenty of toppings. To my knowledge the refills are free. We noticed the place was less busy for a Friday night, so food came out fast and hot. Bottom line, pizza is good but waitstaff could be a bit more friendly.

VERY long wait. Appetizers come at different times. Kids are done eating their meals and adults haven't even got our food yet!?!? After finally eating, I was not impressed at all. Waitress seemed to try to make excuses for the kitchen but really?? After all that there was no apology, no discount on apps or anything. Not even a manager walking around (probably hiding). Hope they pay well cause with service like that the tip jar cannot be depended on!! Sad
(1)Bri W.
The salad was oh so yummy!!!! But my local moco my hamburger was burnt and hard n my rice was mushy. Not the best one I had! But their smoothies were yummy too!
(2)Jeff W.
Not sure why the negative reviews on here. We were at another restaurant having appetizers and drinks when a local overheard us saying we were going to leave and go find a burger. He said not many people go here but it was really good and the Friday night special is a $7.50 cheeseburger and fries. The place is nothing fancy but it's fine. We went in and were greeted and seated quickly. The burger was OUTSTANDING!! They make there own bread/buns and the meat was seasoned sooooo well. I thought the service was good and the drinks were good as well. I would highly recommend the Friday night burger deal, can't be beat in Haleiwa.

Shucks. This place used to be a favorite of mine. The past two times I went, most recently was today, was a disappointment. Service: Mediocre. We were sat promptly. The waitress took our order on time, but that was about it. Received the wrong food. One order was missing avocado. The other order was missing the salad I had added on. Had I not asked for ketchup and mustard, I don't believe I would have seen it. We had to ask twice for the missing avocado and for some extra ranch dressing for our appetizer. Drinks: Steer clear of any 'mixed' drink. I learned my lesson the last time I ordered a Mai Tai. Keep to what they have on tap, which is THREE beers. You used to be able to order it by the pitcher, but now you can only order pints. Boo! Food: The food seems to be consistent and the price is fair. Bathrooms: Kind of scary...like in a spooky movie. Overall: I can't get past the 'rundown' feel of the whole place. It hasn't changed in decades: Same carpet, same seat cushions, same menu. This is the second time I left feeling "meh".
(2)Matthew R.
Here on my BDay on a Monday night and there's $2.95 beer! That includes green bottles (Heineken)! Other than that the pizza really isn't that great, dough is meh but toppings aren't bad, but for $30 for a large... at least the beer was cheap.
(3)Ocean E.
Meh, this place is alright. It's a bit of a drain on the wallet, but the food ain't bad. The service was pretty good the last time I was there.
(3)Zachary L.
The pizza was delicious but they have a serious fly problem. Our pizza was swarmed as soon as it hit our table. We moved inside and discovered hundreds of dead flies on the sill, just inches behind us. Clean it up and I'll add another star.
(2)Derek W.
I love pizza. All kinds of pizza. And Pizza Bob's has some good pizza. I typically order the white, and I really do enjoy it a lot. I'd love to give this place more stars, but too often the wait staff is extremely slow. I'm not sure if they're frequently understaffed, or if they just don't care. I've had meals where I didn't even get a refill on water the entire time I ate. I never saw my waitress to ask for a refill until she was coming to clear the table. Pretty frustrating when the only drink you have is what's melting off the ice between bites of food. I of course sucked down my wife's water, figuring a refill would arrive sooner rather than later, but it never did (sorry babe!). If this had only happened once I wouldn't knock them on the rating, but it happens nearly every time we go. Long story longest--I think their pizza is good, but the slow service really kills the experience.
(2)Kayla D.
If it were possible to give less than one star, I would... We started the night out with only one napkin to share between the two of us. We waited at least 50 minutes for our food. We got the waitress's recommendations for the best on the menu... The chicken breast sandwich I got was literally, maybe, 2 ounces with two slices of unmelted cheese and a sliver of avocado. That's the best on the menu? We were there two hours in total and the waitress came to our table less than 5 times. Our waters were refilled once and left empty... This is seriously the worst service I have ever had. I do NOT suggest!
(1)Maimiti H.
Good service and decent food. However, there was a bug in the Parmesan shaker on our table and I spotted a mouse running under a booth seat. This might not be so disturbing if we were sitting outside..no, it would still be gross.
(1)Mei B.
My pizza was a bit underdone, but I got the $4.50 special and it was edible. I thought that that the crust was a bit bland. All in all, I didn't think it was anything special. My sister's pizza cost $38 for a 12" pizza, so unless you get a special, it's pretty expensive. I think for the price, you could do way better near by.
(2)Dan M.
I love pizza. I have boxes of it stacked in my freezer, and it's usually my go to snack/meal/dessert(?). For this reason, I usually don't eat pizza out unless I know it's something truly unique. Something that I can't replicate the taste back home. This is where Pizza Bob's falls short. I had the The Godfather, which they say is "The Classic from the Land where Pizza began." I guess so... Their menu also boasts they make all their pizzas with their special pizza sauce and special 5-cheese blend... ...but I didn't find anything special about it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't something I would go out and eat, when this certainly WAS something that could be replicated back home, I feel. Crust was fine, meat was ok, cheese was...cheesy. But no uniqueness to it whatsoever. About halfway through, I was...I dunno, over it. Also, it's not a cheap pie. I had a half-sized portion, which is for 1-2 people and it still came out to $13.40. This place avoids the dreaded 1-star due to its service. Our server was pleasant and helpful when I couldn't decide on what to order. I should have taken her other suggestions though...
(2)Sarah K.
Went to this place for a quick dinner before sunset at North Shore. Pizza was pretty expensive but good. Food: We ordered a half pizza for two of us (two slices each). The cheese is pretty good but has lots of seasoning on it, so beware if you are not an italian seasoning fan. They have amazing zucchini fries, though. Atmosphere: Felt like I stepped back in time to the 80's or so. Hasn't really been updated. I suggest sitting outside. Service: Pretty good service. One girl was doing a few tables but they were very spread out. My drink waited to be refilled. Verdict: I would go here on the North Shore only if you are craving lots of pizza and need to seat lots of people.
(3)Kristie C.
HI...My name is Kristie I also work with Taryn at Pizza Bobs. I agree 100 % with Taryn about Sandy! Sandy is a kind hearted person and treat us all with respect. I know the restaurant is free of bugs cause I keep it clean. We live in Hawaii and you will find flying insects everywhere!!!! I love what I do and pizza bob is an awesome place to work! The pizzas and burgers are sooo amazing!
(5)Hillary B.
Loved the pizza! Spicy meat blend on one of the combo pizzas. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good local beer! So glad we found this place!
(4)Kelsey M.
This was my family's go to place when I was growing up. There are more options in Haleiwa now that I'm older, but I still enjoy eating here from time to time. The white pizza and pizza bob salad with their house creamy garlic dressing are some of my favorites. I also enjoy the zucchini fries and brownie dessert.
(3)Bryan W.
Not good. Over priced and over rated.
(1)Randi C.
The location is very nice, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was good. . . but the business is so poorly managed that this is not a place I would want to visit again. To be fair, we only chose to come here because it was one of the few places open before 11 am that did not look crowded in Haleiwa. . .we probably should have realized there was a reason for this! However, there was a lot of parking in the lot surrounding the restaurant, and we were greeted very pleasantly and seated as soon as we arrived. Our server appeared almost immediately but gave us enough time to look at our menus and ask questions before we placed our order. A few minutes after we ordered, the server informed us apologetically that because the kitchen "was switching from breakfast to lunch" service, the cooked items would take a lot longer than the salad/soup items. The first item to arrive at the table was my side salad which was basic but very good: crispy greens garnished with a tomato wedge, a cucumber slice, a few rings of red onion, sprouts, and croutons. About 15 minutes after this arrived, the second member of our party got her soup/salad/garlic bread combination. She said that the clam chowder tasted like canned soup but she liked it. The garlic bread looked like two generous wedges of focaccia brushed with garlic butter and broiled till it was crisp. She enjoyed the bread also, but commented that the caesar salad was way overdressed. And it did look like the lettuce was drowning in heavy dressing. About 10 minutes after the second person got her items, my 1/2 order of veggie pizza arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by this, since I rarely eat pizza but only ordered it because there was little else on the menu that looked appealing to me. However, the crust was both chewy and crispy, and not oily at all! Each slice was topped with a generous amount of zucchini, onion, fresh tomato, mushrooms, and olives. I really enjoyed the veggie pizza. . . However, it was very awkward to have our food while the third person was still waiting for his burger. The server came by at least twice to apologize for the wait and to explain that the kitchen was "working on it". Finally, after about 30 minutes total, the burger arrived. It was enormous and garnished with a generous amount of fresh tomato slices, leaf lettuce, red onion, and a pickle spear. There was an enormous side order of fries, too. For the food and service, this review would have more stars. But the poor management of the kitchen that resulted in each person getting their food at such varying times, as well as the general dirtiness of the dining room (there were flies feasting on crumbs on the windowsill next to my seat, for instance) made this a mediocre rather than pretty good experience! But if you happen to order the same kinds of things as everyone else in your group, your food might come out at the same time and maybe you will like it here. . .
(2)Fabian B.
We went here twice. The first time we left after being ignored for nearly 15 minutes (all we wanted was to place a takeout order). The second time, two months later, we got service after waiting for a few minutes. The price is fair, but the burgers aren't special -I'd say one step up from McDonalds. We asked for it medium/rare; it came, however, veeerrryyyyy well done. If the service was better, it give it three stars.
(2)Rustin S.
Dirty floor Lots of flies Bad service Pizza was very oily and soggy Spaghetti was over cooked Service was horrible Don't waste your time and money and especially don't risk your health. I now have a headache and a stomach ache.
(1)Matt B.
I only ate here once and I was feeling a bit hung over that day, but the pizza was average and the drinks were OK. Overall, nothing too special about this place and there are definitely way better restaurants in town (two of the best restaurants in town are across the road).
(2)Shayla M.
This is a perfect place to stop to eat at when you are at the north shore. Great pizza and of course they have longboard beer. Both were amazing.
(4)Gloria G.
I ordered an omelet which was excellent but my hashbrowns we're very undercooked and they forgot my toast. We also ordered a burrito which was missing the Portuguese sausage we ordered. The creamer was bad and cottage cheese like. Our coffee cup had lipstick on it. The food took at least 20 minutes. Overall even though our main dishes were good we won't be returning.
(1)Lev O.
We've been here before but it's been a while. Drove around the island today and stopped in because I didn't remember anything negative from last time. I like their pizza, really cheesy. We had The Godfather and a side salad. It was enough for us. Our service was super fast, after the lunch hour rush. The menu said to allow at least 20 minutes for pizzas, I think it was only 15. Seemed to come out super fast. It is a little pricey (our large was about $30) but that's not uncommon for pizza places in Hawaii. We took the leftovers home, so really it's two meals. My one annoyance was the gnats. They were trying to fly in my iced tea and it's just annoying to have to guard your food. When we initially came in they asked if we wanted to sit outside. We opted for inside because it was really hot and I didn't want to deal with flies. And it was cool inside. But I have a feeling I would have been swatting just the same outside. At least the AC was cool. So not a bad place, the food is good and our service was timely and our waitress was really friendly. But bugs bug.
(3)Meghan S.
The service was friendly, but slow, the food was overpriced and not very good, the atmosphere was blah, and the mai tais were subpar. However, we did have a large group and they were very accommodating.
(2)Jessica G.
I like to come here on Wednesdays for half off salad night. The Haleiwa Veggie is my fav with their home made house dressing. The God Father pizza is superb and so are the zucchini fries. Their burgers are super juicy, made from organic farm raised beef from the Big Island. It's obvious I love the food. Sometimes the service is a little slow which is why I had to give 4 stars.
(4)Derek C.
I possibly had the best Burger I have had on this island at this place. Wow! It was incredible!
(5)Jenny L.
Food and service have always been great...I have only ever eaten outside...so be prepared for flies if you do the same...not a pretty place but delicious food!!!
(4)Jeff C.
Absolutely terrible. It took us 45 minutes to get our breakfast which made us late for our departing flight. We were continuously ignored and had to constantly flag down the servers to get refills, check, change, ect. The food was below average and expensive. Don't waste your time or money here.
(1)Silja H.
So, that was the first hot day of the summer-- the cold chain had prolly been broken a few times that morning. We went back, after visiting the awesome great dental clinic at the Haleiwa med center. We had fish(?) some sort of oil poached recent catch, scrambled eggs, and toasted sourdough. It was worth eating, and not too expensive. I guess since Bob's has been advertising for new cooks/ servers in the North Shore News, things have changed. Service is 6 stars out of 5.
(3)Ray Z.
This is the first place we saw from the road. We ordered the chili burger with cheese medium rare. Our food took forever and when the burger finally came out it was hardened to a crisp.
(2)Patricia H.
OMG...the pizza here is amazing... the homemade sauce and the cheeses... wow. very very good. it's simple place, but the pizza is good!!!!!!!
(4)Carine P.
HORRIBLE. Expensive, terrible taste and small pizza portions.
(1)Evan F.
Pizza Bob's is place with a long-rich history on the North Store. While one's first thought might lead them to the pizza (because "Pizza" is in the name), there are menu options to suit a variety of taste buds. Pizza Bob's serves sandwiches, pastas, salads, soups, burgers, and, of course, pizza. With that much said, I will tell you of two of my favorites: First: Let me make it known - and, mind you, I used to serve tables there - that the burger is a winner. I worked there for a while before I stumbled upon it. It's like someone was keeping a secret from me. It's a little different because they use a ciabatta bun and a cheese medley, but the burger is seriously delicious. Second: Two words ... California Club. The California Club is their chicken sandwich. The chicken (marinated in their creamy house dressing and broiled on the barbecue) is topped with a cheese medley, crispy bacon, and avocado, served in a ciabatta bun smeared with thin layer of mayonnaise. Seriously ono! All in all, give Pizza Bob's a try. Especially now since you know they offer so much more than just great pizza.
(4)Kit H.
I went to Pizza Bob's and got a burger. My friends got pizza. Yep. Contrary to the end. That's how I roll. Duh! I wasn't overly fanatic about the flat, though big, possibly formerly frozen beef patty of the Big Island Paniolo Burger ($11.50) with homemade BBQ sauce and my choice of American & Swiss cheeses. The tangy, smoky sauce and generous topping of red onion gave life to the sammich. My bottled Longboard Island Lager ($4.75) came wonderfully chilled and hit the spot perfectly. Service was marvelously attentive without being overly intrusive. Do I crave another Pizza Bob's burger? Not necessarily. But Bob's was a cool joint to munch out and relax over an aiiight burger and some chilled local brews with friends. Friends who said they loved their pizza. I should do pizza next time. Duh!
(3)Dawn S.
for a local place they should know how to make rice for a loco moco! very dry rice. should give it no stars.
(1)Brendan W.
We ate here for lunch and it was pretty tasty. We came in after lunch crowd and before dinner rush so we had a nice quiet lunch. Service was "ok" , the server did say don't worry about the "only one free refill" printed on the menu... We thought that was nice since the glass was 3/4 ice and very little soda. The pizza I thought was good, not very oily and very good thin crust. It was a bit pricey but we expected it going in so it was not a shock.
(4)Angie E.
This used to be one of my favorite places to eat about 8 years ago. I recently moved back to the island and my visits to Pizza Bobs over the last few weeks have been TERRIBLE. The service is some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. They take forever to get your food out and the food quality is definitely not what it was 8 years ago. Their food is mediocre at best. Last time I ate there we waited over 20 minutes for a few slices of pizza and it tasted like it had been sitting out that whole time. I expressed my displeasure to the manager and he basically said he didn't care. I also had a $2 coupon which they wouldn't take even though it was completely valid. Apparently, keeping a customer isn't worth $2 to them and a little bit of decency. I am SO disappointed in Pizza Bobs. I will never be returning there again.
(1)Misty H.
Excellent! The pizza was very fresh and handmade tasting. I had the Canadian bacon and pineapple, and my bf had cheese + tomato. Both were served blazing hot from the oven and were delicious! Definitely recommend. We were near the Dole plantation for a tourist destination and this made a convenient and yummy lunch.
(5)Tom S.
Poor Pizza Bobs. We Waialua and Haleiwa residents keep going and we keep being dissapointed. They have great cold Sam Adams on tap and a decent burger (sometimes). The service is ALWAYS painfully slow. The rest of the food is average at best. If you go, order a beer as you walk past the bar on the way to your seat. It'll save you 10 minutes of waiting. Then sit back, be very patient (more beer), and eventually your food will come. The potential here for a good meal is awesome, we North Shore residents keep waiting (15 years now for me) for them to even come close! Good Luck!
(2)Katrina S.
It's hard to find restaurants on the island that aren't either seafood, Hawaiian, Asian, etc. Being from the mainland, my husband and I are not fans of the local foods. Finding Pizza Bob's was such a relief! It's the perfect place for us! Honestly the best pizza I have had since moving to the island. Great selection of drinks as well! Some of the reviews wrote that the items on the menu were pricey. Ummm hello have you ate anywhere else on this island before? Personally we thought the prices were very reasonable. An appetizer, two different pizza selections, multiple mixed drinks, and dessert for $60. Much cheaper than I thought it would be! Pizza Bob's also has specials Monday through Saturday that are awesome. Yes a little outdated, but awesome food, drinks, and service! We will definitely be back again and again..... And again.
(5)Carly I.
First time here. Decided to drop in since it was visible from the road and it had lots of parking. The hostess was an older lady. Very flat effect. The plus about the menu is that it clearly states that pizza will take 20 minutes. Outside seating is nice. There's a good breeze. Great for people watching. Our waitress, Kristie, was kind of awkward. She brought our sodas and 1 water. There were 2 of us at the table. We ordered our food, and the way she said "thank you" was as if we just complimented her. A little too cheery. The first thing that came out was our Caesar salad. The dressing was good, there was just too much of it on the plate. The croutons had a nice garlic taste at first but that ended quickly with the burnt taste that followed. Our Godfather pizza came out piping hot. The sauce is a little watery but the tomato chunks in it definitely make up for it. It seems that they sauce the crust, add toppings, then put the cheese. That could explain why the toppings slide off so easily. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings though. They could also have cooked the crust longer. The center was doughy. We also ordered a Barcelona pasta. The waitress had told us numerous times that it was coming out. When she dropped the dish off at our table, we saw that it was the chicken and broccoli pasta. We had to flag her down and she laughed and said she rung it up wrong. No apologies. Took too long to replace the pasta. We ended up cancelling it. Took another 10 minutes to get our check. As we were leaving, not a single person said thanks, bye, see you again.
(2)Gen M.
If I could give this place no star I would. My experience here was the worst. I ordered chicken pasta, which was over cooked, they took forever to serve our food, and to top it off I got food poisoning from what I ate.
(1)Yary C.
Even though I saw the 2.5 out 5 that I told my husband about. He wanted to go anyways, he wanted pizza. I order just large cheese pizza for me and my boys, I dint wanna paid a lot for something I was 95% sure I wasn't gonna like. And I was right he didn't like his pizza and didn't mine. The sause you can know and taste that it came straight from the can, probably the hunts sause that costco sells, nasty. For me sauce in a pizza is my #1 thing!!! No good sause, no good pizza! Waiter was nice, time to have our pizzas 40min and rest was kinda empty !! No good! This would be the last place I would eat in Haleiwa! Next time my husband say he will listen to me lol!!! :)
(1)Linda S.
The kids were craving some pizza. . The pizza was yummy! The pizza had a fresh tasting tomato sauce and seasoning. I would come here again! The service was also great. Very friendly and made you feel welcomed.
(5)John E.
i came in here late one night with son. We were treated great. We had a really good pizza and it was an overall great experience.
(4)Lucky I.
Terrible... we were very hungry so we ordered a LRG, but their large is the size of pizza huts small?! REALLY? and it was very expensive at $27.00? REALLY? #EPICFAIL
(1)Troy H.
Pizza Bob's for breakfast? You bet! While waiting for Clark Little's Gallery to open we decided to go to Pizza Bob's, because they were open for breakfast. We didn't have great expectations (it is a pizza place after all), but we were quite pleasantly surprised! Apparently, a lot of locals know the secret, as it was fairly busy, with several large groups. Our waitress, Cherise, was very friendly, and gave us suggestions. I settled on the Noelle (a ham, onion and mushroom omelette), and the cook did not skimp on the fillings. Cherise told us that Auntie Danielle does the cooking during the week, and she is their best cook in both speed and quality. So if you are hanging out in Haleiwa early on a weekday morning, and looking for a good breakfast, don't forget about Pizza Bob's!
(4)Jarod H.
Five stars. I love the chicken & artichoke pizza, half size with a burger. Good stuff! Don't know why all the hates for Pizza Bob's. I personally enjoy coming here and chowing down on the good food. Can't get any better than this combo and unique type of pizza.
(5)Charles H.
Good godfather pizza. My kids watched the koi in their pool. I had the burger steak which wasn't bad.
(4)Kehau S.
Met a good friend from high school here. Made reservations and I was impressed with the great service we received from Belinda. She was sweet, personable & super speedy! The iced tea was delicious, the fried calamari appetizer was ONO! My salad - what can I say - remarkable, fresh & huge! The other orders looked equally yummy - salad & soup & pasta dish. The re-fill's were much appreciated as it was a hot day today. Thank you for your wonderful food & unbelievable, excellent service. We vow to return!
(5)Bryan B.
I am not sure why this place has a few bad reviews. Our server (Charisse) was wonderful, taking care of our party of 11. The pizzas were great and we enjoyed the atmosphere! Thanks
(5)Richard S.
Went for pizza today. Had a sausage pizza which was decent for pizza in a pinch. I don't really expect a lot from pizza on the island. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. So was bust boy/assistant waiter. Unfortunately the cook put a sour taste in my mouth after refusing to make the pizza I requested by putting less sausage on it so my daughter could enjoy a cheese only part of the pizza. I was still paying for the extra topping but couldn't believe the cook had the gall to refuse to put less sausage on part of the pizza. Needless to say, I won't be returning which is unfortunate since the rest of the staff was very friendly.
(2)Dane M.
Had to wait 20 mins to be seated, 50 minutes for food. Little attention from staff. Mediocre pizza and ok burgers. Also they were out of what we wanted. Bad service, mediocre food. Ran out of fries, but didn't tell us; didn't even offer to substitute, after paying they offered to give us a dollar off, when asked, but grudgingly. Never again will I eat at Pizza Bob's.
(1)Tabitha L.
I got here right at noon on a Sunday. Not crowded. The zucchini fries are amazing!! Our kids loved them. It is very down to earth and not your cleanest establishment but it works well.
(4)Kyra W.
Came in at 630 and the seater wasn't even friendly at all. Then we ordered at 645 and didn't get our food until 730....it isn't even busy and we ordered two salads and a sandwich. The Caesar salad looked like it had microwaveable chicken in it, not grilled, and the Katsu ahi sandwich was hyped with wasabi mayo and there was none in the sandwich. Our server, Judah was real nice when he came to the table but that was a rarity. The only time he came real quick was to pick up the bill when we payed. Overall, the food was basic, the service was awful, and the overall vibe from everyone who worked here except for Judah was that they didn't want to be at work. Definitely won't be going here again.
(1)Paul B.
Terribly slow. Messed up a simple pizza that was not hot and bell pepper they added late was raw. Held hamburger in kitchen when correcting pizza. I would never come here again when there so many other choices in the area
(1)Joe S.
For a North Shore restaurant, it really is the best one in Haleiwa. A little expensive though it's all worth it in the end. First of all, it's air conditioned. That's a BIG plus this area of the island. Sure there are other burger places (and Mexican, Shrimp Truck, etc.) though A/C on a hot day is priceless. Then there's the convenience of a restroom, ample seating, cold beer, hot Pizza & Burgers and cold Salads... Try the simple "Bobby Burger" with a medium grilling. Comes with all the fixings and Fries. I had a Diet Coke while I waited for my food. We had it cut in half (enough for two) and ate at a nearby beach.
(5)Nikki K.
Good location right in the heart of Haleiwa and has a parking lot out back. We walked in and it was a little musty so we sat outside. Our waitress was very prompt. They really help one another out, the manager brought out our appetizer which shows that they don't just leave food sitting in the window for the waitress to pick up. The wings were tasty, one of the best we have had since living in Hawaii (from NY so we have pretty high standards for bar food) but only got 7 for $12. The rest of the food was mediocre. Nothing worth going back for. There are much better options on the North Shore that are worth the hefty price. No wonder it was the only lunch place without a long line...

Date of visit: 8/7/2015 After a fun snorkeling session at North Shore, my uncle wanted to take us to Matsumoto's, so we ended up in the same plaza as Pizza Bob's. Being that it was a hot day, we decided to take advantage of the indoor seating and AC at Pizza Bob's. Upon our entry, it was obvious that the kitchen was slammed with a large group that came in before us. Our hostess and waitress were extremely apologetic about this, and ensured that what they could get out quickly came out fast. I had a small breakfast, so I was starving and appreciated this gesture. Mango Smoothie. I ordered this smoothie thinking that it would be light and refreshing, but it was ice cream based. This resulted in a heavy smoothie that I didn't enjoy, but Cam really enjoyed. Caesar Salad. The salad came out really quickly, but was overdressed. The croutons were really good though. It also came with chicken and avocado, which was an interesting addition. I was picking off of Anthony's salad, and he really seemed to enjoy it. Zucchini Fries. Uncle Danny ordered these and I thought that they were just okay. The zucchini was really soggy and the breading was really oily. Buffalo Wings. The sauce on the wings was pretty spicy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the chicken was a bit dry and oily since they were deep fried. Not terrible, but not the best wings I've ever had. East Side, West Side Pizza. My Dad and Cam split a large size of this pizza along with sharing some pieces with Anthony and me, so it was definitely plenty of food. This pizza has a thick crust, which wasn't too bad, although the crust was a little chewier than I would have liked. The toppings were pretty standard (Canadian bacon & pineapple), although I did enjoy the pineapple much more than usual (Hawaii placebo effect?). California Club (no onions). By the time my entrée came out, I was already full and didn't know where this was going to fit in my stomach. I had a couple of bites, which were pretty good. It's definitely an awkward sandwich to eat and the bread just soaks up all the wet ingredients, which makes the onion bun much less appetizing. Overall Pizza Bob's was just okay. It satiated my hunger, but it is definitely not on my "must visit again" list. The staff here is great though!

Good service and great pizza. My girlfriend and I were both pleased with our meals as I got the pepperoni pizza and she got the pasta with meat sauce.
(4)Jim M.
Ordered a couple of pies and they had shifted quite a bit so we had to do topping surgery; lots of cheese but not much in the way of sauce. So not much in the way of flavor. The crust was decent but not enough to sway me for a second visit.

I don't know what others are complaining about, we had the perfect breakfast at Pizza Bob's. Our server was attentive and sweet, the hostess made nice small talk. And the only thing that mattered to us was a tasty breakfast, which we got. Will go back without a doubt.

We have been coming to Oahu once or twice a year for the past 10 years and have always stopped at Pizza Bobs. It has been decent in the previous years, but seems like it's gone downhill. First red flag was when the restaurant next door had an hour wait and we got right in at Pizza Bob's. We sat down and noticed that everything around was quite dirty: the vents in the ceiling had about an inch of dust hanging off them, the booth, the ceiling fans, really everything - quite dirty. My husband went to the bathroom and said that is probably the most disgusting bathroom he had ever seen and it feels like it's not even the same place any more. We ordered our food. The server was friendly and efficient. The food arrived and it was utterly disgusting. I had Barcelona pasta: basically some pasta with too much flavorless canned Alfredo sauce dumped on it. Their advertised chicken breast ended up being some odds and ends of a chicken that had fat and cartridge that I had to spit out. I had 3 spoonfuls of this and couldn't eat it anymore. My husband's fish sandwich was ok and he was kind enough to share since I couldn't eat mine. The fries that came with his sandwich were half black. Usually indicative that the frying oil they use hasn't been changed out in a while and is old. Used to be a decent place, but we won't be going back. The place is filthy, the food is horrible and the pure thought of how dirty their kitchen might be makes me want to vomit.

Went for late lunch yesterday after the beach. We ate the zucchini fries and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. Both had a sweet after taste like a funnel cake batter, and both seemed to be frozen food quality. I ordered the Sicilian sandwich; turkey, pepperoni, ham, tomato on toasted bread with fries. The waitress said it was her favorite sandwich, so I had high hopes. The sandwich came out and I was not impressed. The meat seemed like luncheon meat and the fries were soggy. The sandwich flavors were ok, still something I could have made better for myself at home. After our meal my tummy immediately started to hurt. Which is odd because I have a very strong stomach. I'm not sure if it was from all the fries food or just my meal in general. In short I will not be returning.
(2)Rissa K.
I went here with my co-workers and tried the "Godfather" pizza. We ordered a regular size which is more than enough for 2-3 people. The toppings were pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. The pizza was very oily but tasty. The crust was a bit hard but overall it was ok. They have comfy booth seatings in there and service is ok.
(3)Vince F.
My family and I used to be regulars at Pizza Bobs. Sadly, they did away with the biscuits and gravy. It was my favorite and we haven't been back since. The other food is just OK but the servers are mostly super friendly.
(2)Elena S.
On our way out to the Airport and had never been to Pizza Bob's so we stopped in for early lunch! It was so delicious, the service was excellent! Our server Kristie was so beyond sweet! We ordered a Big Island Burger and a Fish Sandwich, both were delicious! we were full for most of the day. Not to mention my Long Island Iced Tea was great- and strong! Kristie was awesome! Definitely going back whenever we are in Oahu again!

This place in Haleiwa remains a wondrous refuge. The welcome and service are always top notch, and they go out of their way to make you what you want. I described to our very friendly server a pizza I had had in Italy. Even though her expression said, "You're a bit crazy, aren't you?" she dutifully explained my request of having a pizza without tomato sauce to the chef. When my pizza was put before me, I was very, very excited. It was not exactly like the one in I had had in Italy, but it wasn't the chef's fault. I mean, there is no homemade mozzerella here, is there? Nor are there many vine-ripened, organically grown Roma tomatoes. This chef produced his/her best effort, but the 5-cheese pizza, produced in America, sits in a little lake of oil, which is absent in Italian pizza. It still was a valiant effort, and the staff here is outstanding. Pizza Bob's remains one of my favorite Haleiwa stops!
(5)Lindsley S.
I'm a local in Hawaii for 10 years, trust me, eat some place else. Pizza Bob's serves mediocre food, you get a 50/50 chance of lame service, and the manager (lady/owner not sure) is pathetic. I only go there to use their bathroom.
(1)Sean Y.
I'm sitting here writing my review as I wait for either my wife to finish her meal or my empty water glass to be refilled. The water glass has been empty for around 15 minutes. The sever was nice but we had like 4 different people come by the table, none offering refills. The pizza was okay. Be careful all the toppings slid off mine as I picked up a slice. The wings were good! Though I think they visited a micro as they were steaming hot and soggy. Weird. My wife had the loco moco. She said it was okay but wouldn't order it again. Overall it was okay though I don't think I'd ever come back. But we were starving and she wanted ice cream from Scoop of Paradise. This was the only place open at that time.
(2)Marie M.
We ate at Pizza Bobs for breakfast and it was OK. I got the Loco Moco and it was somewhat bland, especially the meat but it was decent once I out soy sauce and tabasco on it. My boys had the banana pancakes and they really didn't like them, I relied some and they were tough and very dense. My daughter had the Mac Nut french toast and she loved them, I tried some and it was delicious, we should have all got them! So 1 out of 3...probably wouldn't return though, much better food elsewhere.
(3)Ashley G.
I'm writing this as I wait for my burger... I've been waiting for over an hour. My cup is empty and I never received my appetizer. We use to come to this place all the time. It's gone down hill. I live on the west side and I will never spend another dollar here.
(1)Timothy W.
First, the food was GOOD! Really good, if you like good food, especially pizza, it passes the test! With that said the service was sub-par, and here is the synopsis. We visted the resteraunt on 13AUG2011 at around 1500. We were sat promptly, drink orders were also prompt to include waters for all without asking, GREAT! We ordered our food, my wife and I ordered pizza and hot wings, sounds yummy right?! Part of our order arrived on time, but our hot wings did not, the order never made it to the kitchen, thats when I noticed just how bad the service really was. No refills of waters for anyone, little to no contact with the waitress, she was completely ovewhelmed. It also took a prolonged time to get our check. I even noticed other patrons leaving before placing orders because it simply took too long. I will still recommend for the food, and location (North Shore), maybe go during regular meal times, perhaps there are more staff memebers then...

WORST PIZZA EVER!!! This place was so bad that I had to open up a Yelp account to write my review. I went to this pizza joint last night with a friend of mine after reading a positive review in Oahu Revealed. First of all, I don't know what the Oahu Revealed writer was smoking but must have been some strong stuff to get the pizza down and consider it decent. The pizza was soggy as heck, the hot wings were nothing but NASTY and the fries had absolutely no seasoning whatsoever- not even salt. Paid over $50 bucks for CRAPPY pizza, fries and hot wings with drinks. If you must have pizza on the North Shore, even though I am a Pizza Hut hater, there is a Pizza Hut a block away, trust me, you will thank me. Pizza Bob's is nothing but HORRIBLE--- YUCK!
(1)M R.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and wasn't too busy. Had the club sandwich with turkey, ham and pepperoni and it was pretty good. My friends didn't enjoy their plates as much, the wings apparently weren't too good. But my sandwich hit the spot. Good fries as well. Good service. I was pleased with my lunch but my friends weren't too impressed.
(3)Lisa K.
If you're going to eat one thing here...eat the panko crusted ahi katsu sandwich with the wasabi mayo. The Katsu is surprisingly crisp yet moist. The wasabi could be a little stronger but I guess that's personal preference. I give it 4 stars. The chicken bacon sandwich is pretty good too. Overall though, I give the restaurant 3 stars for the rest of the food (especially the pizza) and service.
(3)carissa l.
the pizza is terrible. salads ok. service ok. overall, I try to avoid it but sometimes friends like to go there
(2)Brooke M.
So this, of all places, is where Mom wanted to go for Mother's Day. Well, I'm just glad it wasn't Ruby Tuesday's (foodie, she is not.) I used to love coming here in high school (it's actually been open since the '70s!) Me and my friends would catch the bus to Waimea, and if we had enough money (poor high school kids that we were) we would sometimes stop at Pizza Bob's on the way back. The pizza is not bad. The crust is very light, not that flavorful, but pretty good if you dip it in ranch dressing. I really like the Haleiwa veggie salad, despite the fact that they use the dreaded iceberg. It comes loaded with olives, cashews, croutons, shredded cheese, and a couple of token cucumbers and tomatoes. I really hate when they give you unripe or butt-end tomatoes, and Pizza Bob's will occasionally pull that shit on you, but it's not bad...Oh yeah, and the service is usually pretty lame.
(3)Ruchell F.
it was decent but i've definitely have had better pizza. the service was not great, we didn't even have utensils at first, our server was also not as friendly. we also had the thai chicken wings which was alright, very sweet and it cost $11 for a few pieces.
(3)jess l.
Five stars for the burger, three and a half for the rest of the food. Pizza Bob's is not the place for pizza (chicken milano is great though), just as Kua Aina isn't the place for a burger (although they are pretty damn good). The burgers at Pizza Bob's are the best I've tried anywhere. They use FREE-RANGE NORTH SHORE BEEF, unlike Kua Aina who just imports their beef from Washington. The soft, fresh-baked bread they use compliments the burger really well. They also have really good salads, a good selection of them too. Hot damn, I wish I was back in Hawaii just for this...
(4)Eric C.
Great place with a great atmosphere. We went two nights, and while the servers were VERY nice and engaging.. the service was a little slow to get started.
(4)Nicole N.
Hawaiian Pizza? Good. Burgers? Really good and not fatty supposedly due to the special cows they use, but Service? Sloooow. I was already hungry when we got there so we ordered right away. By the time the food finally came out, I think my stomach was eating itself. Maybe they were short staffed that day? Either way, I'd probably go back if I'm ever on the north shore again.
(3)R K.
Came to Pizza Bob's for lunch on a Sunday. They said food may may take a while.. Since a large group just ordered. We were fine and found it nice that they told us ahead of time. We were in no rush. Service was outstanding, they checked on us often and made sure our drinks were always full. They also gave a free salad to my wife for being patient. The place is showing its age, but gives it that North shore feel. Pizza was great. My son really enjoyed the pizza. Sandwiches and clam chowder were good. Didn't take very long... We finished our meal actually in an hour from when we arrived.. Not sure why there are bad reviews... We enjoyed it here. Will stop by here again when we make our drive around Oahu.
(5)Jodi T.
I gave this place a 4 star because the appetizers were delicious. My bf and I got the calamari and clam chowder. Both were delicious. Our entrees did take a bit long so by the time we got our pizza and burger we were too full to eat anymore. I got the half pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and my boyfriend got the chili burger. The pizza was alright. Nothing stood out or made me say, "wow" about it. The chili burger was alright as well but very messy. When I think of a burger I'm thinking of eating it with my hands. It was a bit messy so he had to use a fork and knife. He said the taste was alright. I gave this place a 4 star because our serve was very prompt and helpful. Overall our food was a 3 star but the service was a 4 star. It wasn't as bad other people say... or maybe I just got the good server.
(4)Lucas S.
Definitely deserving of ZERO stars. Walking thru Haleiwa and Pizza Bob's is where my hungry family wanted to go. So we go in, sit down and order. The wait for our food takes about 20-25 mins to arrive. Finally we get our food and my wife's chili moco is cold. Definitely NOT hot, NOT warm, but COLD! So we tell the wait staff about the food and they take it back to the kitchen. Then we wait. And wait. And wait. About another 30 minutes passes by. Finally we flag down our server and ask what's going on. She apologizes again and starts telling us that the cook hasn't even begun remaking our food. She also does on that the manager went back there and started making the food herself because of the cook's "BAD ATTITUDE ". Honestly, we don't care. Whatever problems you have with your staff has nothing to do with us. And it should NOT effect the service your customer's receive. At this point we say cancel that order, we've had it and got to go. As we start packing up, the manager comes out and once again apologizes. She agreed that the food was cold and even demonstrated how she stuck her finger in the food, in front of the cook. She goes on explaining her frustrations with the kitchen, but like I said it doesn't matter. As a manager, handle that business behind the scenes. Never let your customers know what's going on and make sure they always have the best experience while they are there. We go to pay the bill for our meal. The manager continues to apologize and explain how she had to remake the dinner herself. Then she tells us that after all of the inconvenience, she won't be charging us for the remade dinner. Gee thanks. As we get home, of course wife is starving now. She opens up her to go box to eat and of course...... THERE IS NO F-ING HAMBURGER PATTY in the chili moco!!! After all of this and how the manager had to remake it herself...... Really NO HAMBURGER PATTY?!?! Needless to say, WE WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK THERE AGAIN!!! Such a shame to travel all the way from Kaneohe to have such the world's WORST experience. If anyone asks for good food recommendations, were definitely not sending anyone to Pizza Bob's. Hopefully they get there staff inline, but not soon enough for us.
(1)Shayne P.
I never expect a pizza place to be phenomenal here on the island, as I was born and raised here, so that's just not my expectations. But I didn't expect it to be this poor of service. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was alright (I had the White Pizza sans mushrooms), but not for how much the "specialties" were. But the server... Jesus Christ, it was BAD. First off, it took her close to 10 minutes to even come up to us for the first time, and about 15 minutes to check up on us every other time. And the restaurant wasn't even close to being busy! Then to make matters worse, she would ask us what we wanted, and then walk off before we could choose to go help other tables. And because she kept doing that, she "didn't hear" one of my friend's pizza order, even though he was the first to order... So she had to put the order in about 7 minutes after the rest of the table got our food. Should have known it was going to be sub-par when the Mai Tai that was ordered was watered down and gross. Especially when the cheese sticks were clearly taken out of a plastic bag in the freezer. A complete disappointment.
(1)Sunny N.
Horrible.. wasted 55.00 .. wanted to just walk out. Zucchini fries were dripping in oil and soggy and pizza was wet and soggy. The waitress asked to box it up, because we literally touched nothing. I was gonna tell her I didn't want anything but I'm too nice to hurt anyone's feelings. On a good note there was a homeless man sitting outside by the trash can, and I gave him the box of Pizza and he was happy to receive it. Never again will I ever go there! Plus place was dirty...
(1)Dave M.
Possibly the worst pizza I've ever had. Tried their chili cheese fries and let me tell you, I'd rather have canned chili. Pass on this place and do not look back
(1)Eric M.
I was told that it had awesome pizza and horrible service. I was expecting that when I got there but wanted to try it. To my surprise everything was good. Pizza was awesome and the waitress kept my glass full. It wasn't very busy so that may had been why.
(4)Adam B.
Very slow and when our drinks were empty the waitress walked pass us like 7 times and didn't say anything and the chili cheese fries were bad. Also do not Order the pizza because the cheese falls off.
(1)Glenn Y.
Pizza Bobs was a bit of a disappointment. The inside smelt like my grandmother's antique house, and the outside smelt of dirt and natural gas (not sure if there was a leak or not). The food was adequate at best. Despite having pizza as a specialty, I wouldn't recommend it. We also order Buffalo Wings, which were good, and my wife ordered a salad/chili combo which was surprisingly decent. Our server, Courtney, was good and earned a third star but otherwise the restaurant was lacking. As an island local, I probably won't be going back.
(3)Kristi T.
We were in Haleiwa Town, really hungry and looking for somewhere to get food.. And fast. We came across Pizza Bob's, having heard that not only was their pizza good, but their burgers, too. We got seated and everything was fine. Got our drinks, ordered, and our appetizer came. We had chili cheese fries. After that.. Things went downhill. It was crowded today, all the tables filled up. The two tables next to us both had problems during their meal. The waitress had done something wrong, either forgotten to place one of their orders or who knows what? Both tables didn't get their order of cheese pizza until the end of their meal, or right before they were about to get out of their seats to leave. I don't think she charged them for their order, which I guess makes it a little better.. But still doesn't make up for not having it in the first place. The two other tables around me came and sat down. I'm quite positive they didn't order or get their drinks until 10 minutes after arriving. A bit frustrating, if you ask me. However, the waitress was really nice and seemed genuinely sorry. Maybe she was new, or having an off day. We all have those, don't we? The food.. It's decent. The fries are on the soggy side, and as a lover of crunchy fries, I was disappointed. The chili on the chili cheese fries was good: not too runny and not too thick, either. However after eating this, I found myself to be happy because I decided against ordering the chili burger. Wow okay I was writing this review as I was sitting and waiting for my food.. But guess what? It never came. We canceled our order because even after about 45 minutes of waiting, the kitchen hadn't even started making our food. Excuse me. But.. What the hell!? How can a place that makes pizza and burgers.. Be THAT busy? I'm done. That was a bust. Very disappointed. I actually had some hope. In the time that I was there, four groups left unhappy. One of them being us. Another group being the people who just sat down next to us and overheard our "your food hasn't been made yet" conversation. The other two groups being people who hadn't gotten part of their order. Sorry, but wow.. I'm probably never returning. Didn't even get a "our kitchen is busy" warning. After reading this review.. You should understand why they received one star. At least we got to sit in the air conditioning.
(1)Mel P.
It's receiving ONE star because once I FINALLY did get my food, it was decent (or I was starving at this point). Our water glasses were always empty and we were having to always ask for them to be filled (with the exception of when they were first placed on the table). We ordered an appetizer of fries and didn't receive them until right before our food hit the table because of the "fry kitchen being backed up". They must have had someone catching fresh shrimp that day because it took an hour for our plate to hit the table ... This is after the normal lunch rush. It's ok because our waiter was skilled! He was amazing! He was skilled and amazing at knowing how to walk past our table multiple times without making eye contact and seeing if we needed anything else!
(1)cayle l.
How is this place still in business??!! There food is shit and the workers don't seem to care. I would rather see this place close than grass skirt grill, now that was great food. Save yourself time and money and just drive to Wailua and go to jerry's pizza, super tasty!
(1)Aulii H.
When you're out in Haleiwa and craving a pizza, you have to go to Pizza Bob's. Like any other pizza place, the more ingredients there are the more expensive it is, but it's totally worth it. The ingredients are fresh, the dough is just the right consistency, and the sauce is not too overpowering. The salad is also really fresh, and is a good size for the price. We tried the chicken wings which were a nice size, was not too salty, moist, and crispy. They were so good, we even ordered more wings to go! The servers were very friendly from the time we walked in, to the time we walked out. It's so hard to find places with great service from beginning to end even at high end establishments. My suggestion is to eat pizza here and then have dessert at Matsumoto Shave Ice. While you're out here, you should just experience all of Haleiwa at once.
(5)Kyle P.
Worst pizzeria we went to on this trip the food trucks near by make better pizza. Very costly for extra toping and on top of that they put them under the cheese witch is weird to me. The inside is way out of date and needs a makeover badly. They need to shorten their menu and get rid of stuff like hamburgers. Jerry's Pizza down the road is way better and cost less.
(1)Sheri M.
Nothing special here...pizza, salads and sandwiches. Service: okay...workers could be friendlier Food: okay...I did like the dill mayo with my cajun fish sandwich but fish was salty, fries were soft not crispy Atmosphere: gloomy, old fashioned...needs updating Prices: 1 fish sandwich, 1 kid's cheese pizza, and diet cola...$20 Won't be back..
(2)Manny B.
Great pizza but got an attitude from the Filipina waitress (who's pretending to have an american accent). Service should not be this bad. It does not compliment the great tasting food/pizza that this place offers. What a disservice to the management of this place. Boo hoo.
(3)Timothy P.
First let me say the pizza here is VERY good, I love the outdoor seating, and the overall inside is very nice too. Now with that being said let me go on the negative side. The service takes forever. I can understand why the pizza may take a whole but even a simple appetizer took thirty minutes to get to our table. The drinks also took a long time and I was ignored when I asked for a refill off drink. There are a lot of flys and geckos roaming around. The actual servers themselves were ok, nothing good not bad but after being here twice I am sad that the pizza is so very good but everything else is not. I personally recommend you go yourself and try it to see if you don't mind it.
(2)Mona U.
We were really disappointed by the food. I ordered the soup and salad but the chowder came out room temperature. My husband's burger was raw in the middle so we asked them to cook it a little more. Pretty sure they just stuck it into the microwave for a few seconds. Although the food was disappointing, our server Courtney was really sweet and she was always quick to check in on us.
(2)Stacie N.
We stopped here for lunch as we drove through town. The service was prompt and very friendly. The pizza was very good. Very cheesy, hot and the crust was good with just the right crunch and chew. It made everyone in my party of 6, including a picky child very happy.
(4)Brian M.
So food and atmosphere was a one star overall. The waitress was really good though. Ordered the large godfather pizza and a tossed salad to share. We got one quarter of a tomato and one slice of a cucumber with a large hand full of lettuce and sprouts. The pizza was basically 3 lbs of cheese with a couple pieces of sausage, pepperoni, and olives that was placed in bunches in three random slots. Another disappointment with food in haliewa. If you eat out up there, stick with Cholos, it's right down the street.
(2)Alicia W.
Was a little weary due to the previous reviews, but I'm so happy we stopped in! First off, the zucchini fries...oh my lanta! Delicious! I got the half godfather pizza and my friends got the loco moco and Cajun fish sandwich. We all loved our food and the service was outstanding. Our waitress was prompt and so incredibly kind. We will definitely stop back on our next trip to Haliewa.
(5)Ramon T.
I heard so many great and wonderful things about this pizza joint before I came here and was so excited to try it out before we hit Turtle Bay. And I must say that after all that anticipation, I was rather disappointed. The server Christie was a sweetie, bless her heart, but the pizza was average at best. We ordered the Godfather I believe it's called and it just lack the flavorful punch I was looking for. Sad thing is, I hadn't eaten all day and so they hand the upper hand . Yet they failed to take advantage of that.
(2)Steven S.
Been eating at Pizza Bob's since I was a little keiki, they've moved locations over the years, but it is still the same great pizza. I love the Godfather pizza. Since growing up and starting to enjoy eating my vegetables, I have come to adore the Haleiwa Veggie Salad with the house creamy vinaigrette. Man that salad is awesome, this is the only place I will ever rave about a salad! Hahaha. Since moving to da mainland, I miss this place so much! 1980-2012 THIS is where I always got my PIZZA!
(5)Adrienne L.
This place has really gone down hill. We entered into the restaurant and the smell was like a combination of a wet dog and cigarette butt. We proceeded to the outside seating and the server was friendly, the pizza was ok. The outside patio was dirty like it hasn't been cleaned in months. The cushions we sat on had stains all over. When my son went to use the men's room he decided to hold it because it was so dirty in there. We clearly were done eating and waited with our 3 rowdy kids for the check but had to just get up and pay on the way out. I will not be eating here again. If it's dirty and smelly where the customers are I can only imagine what's going on in the kitchen.
(1)Ken A.
Stopped in on our way to shaved ice and this place was fantastic. The chili pizza was nails. Server was kind and didn't rush us. A lot of the bad reviews sound like whiners. A really good place for something easy.
(5)Yuko A.
If you are in Haleiwa on a Saturday night, hungry or maybe even getting hangry don't succumb to no lines and choose Pizza Bob's as your final restaurant destination. Either wait in line or go to Wahiawa We were weak and choose Pizza Bobs and it was such a disappointment. We were all tired from Warrior Dash and a beautiful day at the beach and our party of six was HANGRY. I really wanted Thai but Opal's had a wait as did pretty much every other restaurant in the vicinity. We settled on Pizza Bob's because one of our friends vouched for it and said it wasn't bad. No line. We were sat immediately outside in a booth. 1. The boys ordered Mai Tai's which were artificial, gross, and way too sweet. (They didn't even finish them and they were $4.50) 2. The food took FOREVER to come out. We ordered salads and a chilli cheese fries. 3. The caesar salad my bf and I got was such a ripoff. We upgraded to get the chicken and TWO slices of avocado...and it was close to $10 for a half portion. Blehhh...We didn't even finish the fake Mickey D type chicken. 4. My bf and I shared half a Veggie Pizza (Greenwich Village) which was $15. It was 4 small slices. Seriously could get a whole pizza for $15 on the East coast and have leftovers. A slice was half cooked, the tomato sauce was runny and defintiely from a can. I know Hawaii's not famous for pizza but this pizza was the worst I've had in a while. I think Im going to stick to making my own and Agostinos (Waikiki) 5. My bf and I spent $30 not including the tip on a dinner we didn't enjoy. :( Please, next time you are in Haleiwa avoid Pizza Bob's unless you are okay with paying for an overpriced below average dinner.
(2)Rick M.
One stare because that's the least I can do. On vacation and went there for pizza with a party of 12. Pizza bob should not be the name it should be called a cafe. The waitress that helped us was Rude! We ordered drinks and after a few rude comments we told her to cancel our order and charge us for the drinks. The waitress was a local but you would think she would bend over backwards for a large group on a Friday night when the place was not even busy!! Nothing good to say.
(1)Delfina V.
Ill start by saying that the pizza was great, no complaints there... but I DO NOT RECOMMEND! the service was horrible! Our waitress SHANNON was completely rude... I couldnt believe how negative n rude she was when we asked simple questions that she couldve answered sooo much better than she did n with a much better attitude!!! We asked simple questions like if we could split the bill, or substitute toppings and got eyes rolled at us. Shes not the only one who gave us bad custimer service too! There was another lady that came by to assist and as I was mid sentence in speaking to her she leaves to assist another table and purposely ignores me. We were a large group, but we were not diffucult people, and our questions shouldve been met with compromise and problem solving, out waitress did nothing of the sort, just said no no no! theres nothing worse than horrible customer service. Customer service if a big part of any job!
(1)Alice N.
Went here for a light dinner for my hubby's cousin's birthday. It helps to know the waiter as he was totally quick and efficient. We tried half of two diffent pizzas: the white pizza and the grilled chicken Milano. Both were equally yummy! Not that long of a wait in my book. White pizza toppings: red onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet basil and garlic. Milano: grilled chicken breast, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red onion. Washed it down with a raspberry iced tea was so perfect after a whole day partying and having fun at Aweoweo beach park. Good times!
(4)Jessica M.
This place deserves 0 stars!! Waiter was totally rude and disrespectful. She had attitude with our family. We had all ordered and decided to cancel and leave. This place is not worth your stop!

I realize food in Hawaii is more expensive, but I believe the prices here are over priced for the quality of food. The food is average and nothing to brag about. If you need to buy a pizza make sure you go on the $5 off night which I believe is Thursday. The large pizza claims to feed 3-4 people, but in reality it feeds only 2 people. And if you want to have the runs all night get the 5 layer cheese pizza.

Just moved into the area and was craving some air conditioning after spending the whole day getting moved in. We stopped here because the wait was the shortest, or so we thought. We were seated in about 5 min, and another 5 min later the waitress took our order. However, 30 minutes later we hadn't gotten anything but drinks, and I couldn't get the waitress to make eye contact with me. The table next to us left before their food arrived because they'd been waiting so long. We were hungry and tired, so we waited it out, but didn't get our food until about 45 min after we'd ordered. My husband's sandwich looked OK, but he got nauseated about halfway through eating it. I got the "special" Caesar salad, which promised grilled chicken and avocado. The chicken was clearly just reheated frozen stuff, and the avocado was just a skinny little slice. The lettuce was warm and completely drenched in dressing. It's really hard to screw up a Caesar salad, but somehow they made one of the worst I've ever had. No one apologized for our wait, so we just ate what we could, paid the bill, and rushed out. They could have had regular customers since we live so close, but we'll never be back. They must make all their money from desperate tourists. Don't fall for it!

Just moved here, and thought we would check out pizza bobs on the north shore. Pizza was ok, after waiting an hour and a half to get it... Ordered the godfather, all the toppings slid off as I picked it up. Limited to one refill, which after sitting for almost 2 hrs, I was more than happy to buy a whole new glass of iced tea. Thru the order pickup window, we Watched lady in the kitchen the entire time eat a few bites of something, then turn around to table behind her and go back to preparing whatever she was preparing. Without washing hands. I think she consumed her entire meal before we got our 1 slice of pizza. Server was apologetic, but it was half hearted. Like she knew the kitchen was slow and couldn't do anything about it. Manager did take $6 off of our $60 bill. This was a first, and probably a last for this family. Not impressed, an if it wasn't for the Saturday night pizza sale... Would not have been worth why they originally charge.

Sucked! The pizza was underwhelming! In all fairness it tasted "ok", not all that bad, I've had worse, but when considering the price, it's not a value. A place that has been in business this long with the lacking level of quality, it raises questions! Pass on this place.

This place needs to be shut down!!! Service is horrible I went there for the first time this weekend after being seated it took 55 minutes to receive my order it was 10:30 am and they had a total of 4 tables. After 30 minutes the server came to the table and apologized for food taking so long. We received water to drink with no refills at all. The outside area was dirty and there was a fly in the Parmesan cheese shaker. I brought it to there attention and they removed it without bringing another to replace it. The service is bad food is horrible. I wouldn't recommend this place if you were starving and it was the only place in town open.

For having pizza in the name of the restaurant it really wasn't that good however the atmosphere and service was really good as well as the cleanliness

Our first breakfast on north shore Hawaii was at pizza bobs in haliewa, not a planned visit because I somehow drove past Ted's bakery and it would've been a hassle to turn around. We saw the sign that mentioned breakfast so why not? They had everything decorated for Halloween with spider webs everywhere. Our waitress was from France and very upbeat. (darn, forgot her name). She was helpful and pleasant to speak to. Being that we were in Hawaii, I risked having a poor dining experience and ordered the loco moco, which I will admit isn't my favorite plate in Hawaiian cuisine. This, I must say was the BEST example of the dish that I have ever tried! Simply perfect and as the norm when partaking in a huge loco moco I wasn't hungry until dinnertime. Others had a Noellas omelet and some banana pancakes, all were very fresh and perfectly prepared. There's a extremely picky five year old in our mits and he ate a good portion of a large pancake with a good dose of coconut syrup. All in all a totally perfect breakfast from what is basically a pizza place. This was not our last visit that's for sure! We had a nice pizza here a few years ago and it was good, but we will be back foot more delicious Hawaiian breakfast Aloha!

I made a Yelp account specifically to write this review. I went to Pizza Bob's with my boyfriend back in October. (It's taken me this long to process the horrible experience and decide that yes indeed, I do feel the need to leave feedback.) The food was fine, not great, but the service was TERRIBLE. We were out for a beach day at Haleiwa and, seeing as this place promised "New York style" pizza, my New Yorker boyfriend was intrigued, and we walked in. Our server was an older woman who greeted us with, "Hello, kids, have a seat!" Okay, fine. Except she proceeded to address us as "kids" in a very condescending tone for the rest of our time here. My boyfriend and I are in our mid-twenties. Job holding, reasonably responsible adults. We ordered our food and a couple of beers. She asked my boyfriend for his ID, and mouthed "He looks like a baby" to me while his back was turned, which I found very unprofessional. Then he gave her his New York state ID, and she proceeded to hem and haw over it, before deciding she needed to show it to her manager because "It looked suspicious." This was a legitimate ID issued by the state of New York, and if she knew how to correctly check a driver's license at all, she would have known that. After much deliberation, she came over and told us that she couldn't accept it because it expires in 8 years, and in her expert wisdom, IDs don't last for that long, even though we told her he had just renewed it the previous year. Ridiculous. This woman also walked by and snatched the drinks and dessert menu OUT OF MY HAND while I was looking at it. This was right as she came by to deliver our check, which she placed it on the table in a precarious, teetering position. My boyfriend reached out to fix it, and she SLAPPED HIS HAND AWAY, and insisted, "Don't worry about it" despite his protests. And then she knocked it onto the floor. It honestly seemed like she did it on purpose. The waitress looked at it, decided not to pick it back up, and walked away. It was so bizarre. In my boyfriend's words, it was like she was trying for slapstick comedy. I think this was actually the worst service I have ever had in my life. I almost walked out, and I definitely would not come back here again.

Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3 My husband and I went this afternoon and I have to say I wasn't blown away. We ordered a half pizza called the Roberto. I wasn't starving so I told my husband we could share the half pizza (4 slices). However I don't like mushrooms, onions, or olives so we asked our server to have half with everything on it and the other half without the toppings I didn't want (this shouldn't be an unreasonable request for $15 for 4 slices of pizza). Our server came back to tell us we would have to get the original size if we wanted to have half my way and half my husbands way... Seriously? You're telling me you can't make 2 pieces of pizza one way and the other 2 slices another. So we wound up getting 8 slices of pizza for $30. Service was slow even though we were one of 3 tables in the entire restaurant. However I will say the resturant did have a very laid back atmosphere. It had a really nice layout, but in my opinion that doesn't make up for the so-so overpriced food and slow service. I will not be going back.

Seeing as this restaurant is on the North Shore of Oahu I would expect more. The server Charisse brought our drinks promptly and took our order. That was the last time we saw her for 50 mins! When she finally came by she told us our pizza would be out shortly! This after everyone around us was served, most of which came after us. We asked for it to go and it took another 10 minutes! I spoke to the manager he said he was busy, just made excuses for the waitress. It's obvious he didn't care. The restaurant was half empty on a Friday night! That should have been a sign. When we got home the pizza was horrible! Not worth the $30 we paid for it. This restaurant is not clean or tidy either. The staff was unprepared for a slow night, but I doubt this place is ever busy. Will not be going back, since Pizza Hut is cheaper and better than what they serve.
(1)James G.
Weak pizza, weak to very weak. Order the god father pizza, picked up a slice and all the toppings fell off. Paid $30 for a large pizza that I wound pay $4.99 for in the frozen foods section. The undercooked dough tasted like old stale bread sticks. Service was on par with the food.
(1)Andrew S.
Pizza Bob's has been around for a long time. Before I was even born. Growing up on the North Shore, we were lucky to always have this joint around. The bottom line is that Pizza Bob's is a restaurant that offers comfort familiar foods at reasonable prices four our little sand and surf community far removed from Honolulu. My family loves the Godfather pizza. But also and probably more importantly we usually only come in on Wednesday nights. Wednesday nights are the half-price salad nights in which I usually get the house salad with house dressing with extra cashews and cheesy garlic bread. This comes out around $10. A great deal for the North Shore.
(4)Mary Kate N.
Slow service but decent sunrise omelets, wouldn't come here if I was in a hurry or wanted something healthy but it made for a great breakfast spot after a late night out
(3)Taryn M.
I am a server at Pizza Bob's and have been for many years. PB's is a very busy restaurant and the food can take too long and the service can be slow BUT I must address some of the personal comments, lies and slurs that have been directed at my boss Sandy Lee, none of which are true. Sandy is a kind and thoughtful person who does not and would not scream at all of us employees and make us all pay her 20% of our tips. Whom ever this person is spreading lies is very vindictive and malicious and spreading untruths can get people into a lot of trouble. I back my boss up 100% and so does the rest of the staff! For God's sake it's just a meal!
(5)Rebecca H.
I was hesitant to come based on the reviews but came anyway because pizza sounded good. Im happy I did because the pizza is really good pizza & the salad was amazing.
(5)Kristin J.
3 stars for food and 1 star for service. The waitress completely forgot to put in our order and after she remembered She didn't put in our daughters order. She did admit it was her mistake but after our food came it was wrong and we waited another 20 min for our daughters food. I would think that she would at least offer to deduct that meal from our check or offer her a complementary dessert but no! No tip for you Kristie!
(3)Rachel S.
While the survice was good the pizza was far from satisfying. But it has a good atmosphere.
(2)Megan R.
I heard about this place so I headed over. I saw other reviews and was a little skeptical. The service was great our server charisse was excellent and bubbly. We order wings, salad and half a pizza. Wings were great, salad was typical and yummy. Pizza.... was ok. Really greasy. The crust wasn't anything special and the sauce was a bit bland. But all in all it was good. Laid back environment. Would recommend.
(4)Blake W.
Just moved to the north shore so I was praying pizza bobs would be a chill pizza parlor with beer and good pizza and a few TVs for the games, haha NOPE! This place looked like an orphan of Applebee's and a more dull vibe than a retirement home. The staff took 10 min to come over and even acknowledge our table and the food was mediocre at best. Canned everything, no real passion in their food. Another disappointing restaurant.
(2)G H.
I eat here almost everytime I come to north shore.. Never have to wait to be seated.. Never crowded and great service..
(5)Peni S.
Pizza Bob's was the choice spot back in the days....my visit last night was THE worst. I'm a North Shore resident...born and raised. My family and I waiting a few minutes in the beginning for our waiter/waitress to get our drinks and take our order, but when my husband recieved his food (he ordered only appetizers/ chicken), it was cold. My oldest child and I waited 35 minutes, yes, 35 minutes for our food. On top of that, no one came back to fill our water nor informed us what was going on with the our meals. I'm sorry, but PB of Haleiwa is slowly going down the drain.
(1)Ter H.
A friend an I were craving some pizza and cold beer so we hit a Pizza Bobs in downtown Haleiwa. Our waitress Krista was fun an Bubbly and let us know about all the specials and brought out a couple cold beers promptly! We dined in the back patio outside that fit right in with the Hawaii atmosphere. We ordered the Kalua PIG AN PINEAPPLE ( Hawaiian Style) pizza and it was extremely tastie. We will definitely return to this fun place!
(5)Fran V.
Calamari was soggy but the White Pizza was good and the Cajun Fish Sandwich with Fries was good too. Relaxing atmosphere, and service was pretty good. We would eat there again.
(3)Crys M.
The bottom of our pizza was soft, not Crisp how I like it. The burger was ok, did not like the mozarella cheese sticks. My strawberry daquiri tasted like a strawberry icee. Service was kind of slow food took forever. Don't know if I would be back.
(3)Andreas N.
Very friendly staff but very slow kitchen. Got a 20% discount though. The food is good for that price. Big portions, didn't manage to eat it all.
(3)Kristy P.
Worse restaurant experience of my life. It took an hour and 15 minutes to receive our food. My burger was over cooked &cold. Everyone's sandwiches were soggy. We waited at least 30 min with empty drinks. The waitress never came to ask us how our food was. I decided to talk to the manager, and waited another 10 minutes for her. She was absolutely rude, when I explained my food was cold and aweful not to mention it took over an hour her reply was a shrug & "well we are busy" funny bc we were surrounded by empty tables and that's absolutely no excuse. I didn't even eat my burger but she would not remove from bill. I never complain at restaurants but this was an absolutely aweful experience. She gave us 10% off and walked away when I was in mid sentence. HORRIBLE service HORRIBLE over priced food. DO NOT eat here!!!!!!! We are locals and brought guests from out of town, I felt aweful bc of the bad experience, where is the Aloha experience in this restaurant? Wow :(
(1)Bran H.
We come here for pizza when in town. This trip our server was super nice but the rest of the waitstaff weren't very friendly. Definitely get the Haleiwa salad and house dressing. Godfather pizza is good and they use plenty of toppings. To my knowledge the refills are free. We noticed the place was less busy for a Friday night, so food came out fast and hot. Bottom line, pizza is good but waitstaff could be a bit more friendly.
(3)Corey S.
VERY long wait. Appetizers come at different times. Kids are done eating their meals and adults haven't even got our food yet!?!? After finally eating, I was not impressed at all. Waitress seemed to try to make excuses for the kitchen but really?? After all that there was no apology, no discount on apps or anything. Not even a manager walking around (probably hiding). Hope they pay well cause with service like that the tip jar cannot be depended on!! Sad
(1)Bri W.
The salad was oh so yummy!!!! But my local moco my hamburger was burnt and hard n my rice was mushy. Not the best one I had! But their smoothies were yummy too!
(2)Jeff W.
Not sure why the negative reviews on here. We were at another restaurant having appetizers and drinks when a local overheard us saying we were going to leave and go find a burger. He said not many people go here but it was really good and the Friday night special is a $7.50 cheeseburger and fries. The place is nothing fancy but it's fine. We went in and were greeted and seated quickly. The burger was OUTSTANDING!! They make there own bread/buns and the meat was seasoned sooooo well. I thought the service was good and the drinks were good as well. I would highly recommend the Friday night burger deal, can't be beat in Haleiwa.
(4)Erick D.
Shucks. This place used to be a favorite of mine. The past two times I went, most recently was today, was a disappointment. Service: Mediocre. We were sat promptly. The waitress took our order on time, but that was about it. Received the wrong food. One order was missing avocado. The other order was missing the salad I had added on. Had I not asked for ketchup and mustard, I don't believe I would have seen it. We had to ask twice for the missing avocado and for some extra ranch dressing for our appetizer. Drinks: Steer clear of any 'mixed' drink. I learned my lesson the last time I ordered a Mai Tai. Keep to what they have on tap, which is THREE beers. You used to be able to order it by the pitcher, but now you can only order pints. Boo! Food: The food seems to be consistent and the price is fair. Bathrooms: Kind of scary...like in a spooky movie. Overall: I can't get past the 'rundown' feel of the whole place. It hasn't changed in decades: Same carpet, same seat cushions, same menu. This is the second time I left feeling "meh".
(2)Matthew R.
Here on my BDay on a Monday night and there's $2.95 beer! That includes green bottles (Heineken)! Other than that the pizza really isn't that great, dough is meh but toppings aren't bad, but for $30 for a large... at least the beer was cheap.
(3)Ocean E.
Meh, this place is alright. It's a bit of a drain on the wallet, but the food ain't bad. The service was pretty good the last time I was there.
(3)Zachary L.
The pizza was delicious but they have a serious fly problem. Our pizza was swarmed as soon as it hit our table. We moved inside and discovered hundreds of dead flies on the sill, just inches behind us. Clean it up and I'll add another star.
(2)Derek W.
I love pizza. All kinds of pizza. And Pizza Bob's has some good pizza. I typically order the white, and I really do enjoy it a lot. I'd love to give this place more stars, but too often the wait staff is extremely slow. I'm not sure if they're frequently understaffed, or if they just don't care. I've had meals where I didn't even get a refill on water the entire time I ate. I never saw my waitress to ask for a refill until she was coming to clear the table. Pretty frustrating when the only drink you have is what's melting off the ice between bites of food. I of course sucked down my wife's water, figuring a refill would arrive sooner rather than later, but it never did (sorry babe!). If this had only happened once I wouldn't knock them on the rating, but it happens nearly every time we go. Long story longest--I think their pizza is good, but the slow service really kills the experience.
(2)Kayla D.
If it were possible to give less than one star, I would... We started the night out with only one napkin to share between the two of us. We waited at least 50 minutes for our food. We got the waitress's recommendations for the best on the menu... The chicken breast sandwich I got was literally, maybe, 2 ounces with two slices of unmelted cheese and a sliver of avocado. That's the best on the menu? We were there two hours in total and the waitress came to our table less than 5 times. Our waters were refilled once and left empty... This is seriously the worst service I have ever had. I do NOT suggest!
(1)Maimiti H.
Good service and decent food. However, there was a bug in the Parmesan shaker on our table and I spotted a mouse running under a booth seat. This might not be so disturbing if we were sitting outside..no, it would still be gross.
(1)Mei B.
My pizza was a bit underdone, but I got the $4.50 special and it was edible. I thought that that the crust was a bit bland. All in all, I didn't think it was anything special. My sister's pizza cost $38 for a 12" pizza, so unless you get a special, it's pretty expensive. I think for the price, you could do way better near by.
(2)Dan M.
I love pizza. I have boxes of it stacked in my freezer, and it's usually my go to snack/meal/dessert(?). For this reason, I usually don't eat pizza out unless I know it's something truly unique. Something that I can't replicate the taste back home. This is where Pizza Bob's falls short. I had the The Godfather, which they say is "The Classic from the Land where Pizza began." I guess so... Their menu also boasts they make all their pizzas with their special pizza sauce and special 5-cheese blend... ...but I didn't find anything special about it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't something I would go out and eat, when this certainly WAS something that could be replicated back home, I feel. Crust was fine, meat was ok, cheese was...cheesy. But no uniqueness to it whatsoever. About halfway through, I was...I dunno, over it. Also, it's not a cheap pie. I had a half-sized portion, which is for 1-2 people and it still came out to $13.40. This place avoids the dreaded 1-star due to its service. Our server was pleasant and helpful when I couldn't decide on what to order. I should have taken her other suggestions though...
(2)Sarah K.
Went to this place for a quick dinner before sunset at North Shore. Pizza was pretty expensive but good. Food: We ordered a half pizza for two of us (two slices each). The cheese is pretty good but has lots of seasoning on it, so beware if you are not an italian seasoning fan. They have amazing zucchini fries, though. Atmosphere: Felt like I stepped back in time to the 80's or so. Hasn't really been updated. I suggest sitting outside. Service: Pretty good service. One girl was doing a few tables but they were very spread out. My drink waited to be refilled. Verdict: I would go here on the North Shore only if you are craving lots of pizza and need to seat lots of people.
(3)Kristie C.
HI...My name is Kristie I also work with Taryn at Pizza Bobs. I agree 100 % with Taryn about Sandy! Sandy is a kind hearted person and treat us all with respect. I know the restaurant is free of bugs cause I keep it clean. We live in Hawaii and you will find flying insects everywhere!!!! I love what I do and pizza bob is an awesome place to work! The pizzas and burgers are sooo amazing!
(5)Hillary B.
Loved the pizza! Spicy meat blend on one of the combo pizzas. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good local beer! So glad we found this place!
(4)Kelsey M.
This was my family's go to place when I was growing up. There are more options in Haleiwa now that I'm older, but I still enjoy eating here from time to time. The white pizza and pizza bob salad with their house creamy garlic dressing are some of my favorites. I also enjoy the zucchini fries and brownie dessert.
(3)Bryan W.
Not good. Over priced and over rated.
(1)Matt B.
I only ate here once and I was feeling a bit hung over that day, but the pizza was average and the drinks were OK. Overall, nothing too special about this place and there are definitely way better restaurants in town (two of the best restaurants in town are across the road).
(2)Shayla M.
This is a perfect place to stop to eat at when you are at the north shore. Great pizza and of course they have longboard beer. Both were amazing.
(4)Gloria G.
I ordered an omelet which was excellent but my hashbrowns we're very undercooked and they forgot my toast. We also ordered a burrito which was missing the Portuguese sausage we ordered. The creamer was bad and cottage cheese like. Our coffee cup had lipstick on it. The food took at least 20 minutes. Overall even though our main dishes were good we won't be returning.
(1)Lev O.
We've been here before but it's been a while. Drove around the island today and stopped in because I didn't remember anything negative from last time. I like their pizza, really cheesy. We had The Godfather and a side salad. It was enough for us. Our service was super fast, after the lunch hour rush. The menu said to allow at least 20 minutes for pizzas, I think it was only 15. Seemed to come out super fast. It is a little pricey (our large was about $30) but that's not uncommon for pizza places in Hawaii. We took the leftovers home, so really it's two meals. My one annoyance was the gnats. They were trying to fly in my iced tea and it's just annoying to have to guard your food. When we initially came in they asked if we wanted to sit outside. We opted for inside because it was really hot and I didn't want to deal with flies. And it was cool inside. But I have a feeling I would have been swatting just the same outside. At least the AC was cool. So not a bad place, the food is good and our service was timely and our waitress was really friendly. But bugs bug.
(3)Randi C.
The location is very nice, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was good. . . but the business is so poorly managed that this is not a place I would want to visit again. To be fair, we only chose to come here because it was one of the few places open before 11 am that did not look crowded in Haleiwa. . .we probably should have realized there was a reason for this! However, there was a lot of parking in the lot surrounding the restaurant, and we were greeted very pleasantly and seated as soon as we arrived. Our server appeared almost immediately but gave us enough time to look at our menus and ask questions before we placed our order. A few minutes after we ordered, the server informed us apologetically that because the kitchen "was switching from breakfast to lunch" service, the cooked items would take a lot longer than the salad/soup items. The first item to arrive at the table was my side salad which was basic but very good: crispy greens garnished with a tomato wedge, a cucumber slice, a few rings of red onion, sprouts, and croutons. About 15 minutes after this arrived, the second member of our party got her soup/salad/garlic bread combination. She said that the clam chowder tasted like canned soup but she liked it. The garlic bread looked like two generous wedges of focaccia brushed with garlic butter and broiled till it was crisp. She enjoyed the bread also, but commented that the caesar salad was way overdressed. And it did look like the lettuce was drowning in heavy dressing. About 10 minutes after the second person got her items, my 1/2 order of veggie pizza arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by this, since I rarely eat pizza but only ordered it because there was little else on the menu that looked appealing to me. However, the crust was both chewy and crispy, and not oily at all! Each slice was topped with a generous amount of zucchini, onion, fresh tomato, mushrooms, and olives. I really enjoyed the veggie pizza. . . However, it was very awkward to have our food while the third person was still waiting for his burger. The server came by at least twice to apologize for the wait and to explain that the kitchen was "working on it". Finally, after about 30 minutes total, the burger arrived. It was enormous and garnished with a generous amount of fresh tomato slices, leaf lettuce, red onion, and a pickle spear. There was an enormous side order of fries, too. For the food and service, this review would have more stars. But the poor management of the kitchen that resulted in each person getting their food at such varying times, as well as the general dirtiness of the dining room (there were flies feasting on crumbs on the windowsill next to my seat, for instance) made this a mediocre rather than pretty good experience! But if you happen to order the same kinds of things as everyone else in your group, your food might come out at the same time and maybe you will like it here. . .
(2)Fabian B.
We went here twice. The first time we left after being ignored for nearly 15 minutes (all we wanted was to place a takeout order). The second time, two months later, we got service after waiting for a few minutes. The price is fair, but the burgers aren't special -I'd say one step up from McDonalds. We asked for it medium/rare; it came, however, veeerrryyyyy well done. If the service was better, it give it three stars.
(2)Rustin S.
Dirty floor Lots of flies Bad service Pizza was very oily and soggy Spaghetti was over cooked Service was horrible Don't waste your time and money and especially don't risk your health. I now have a headache and a stomach ache.
(1)Meghan S.
The service was friendly, but slow, the food was overpriced and not very good, the atmosphere was blah, and the mai tais were subpar. However, we did have a large group and they were very accommodating.
(2)Jessica G.
I like to come here on Wednesdays for half off salad night. The Haleiwa Veggie is my fav with their home made house dressing. The God Father pizza is superb and so are the zucchini fries. Their burgers are super juicy, made from organic farm raised beef from the Big Island. It's obvious I love the food. Sometimes the service is a little slow which is why I had to give 4 stars.
(4)Derek C.
I possibly had the best Burger I have had on this island at this place. Wow! It was incredible!
(5)Jenny L.
Food and service have always been great...I have only ever eaten outside...so be prepared for flies if you do the same...not a pretty place but delicious food!!!
(4)Jeff C.
Absolutely terrible. It took us 45 minutes to get our breakfast which made us late for our departing flight. We were continuously ignored and had to constantly flag down the servers to get refills, check, change, ect. The food was below average and expensive. Don't waste your time or money here.
(1)Silja H.
So, that was the first hot day of the summer-- the cold chain had prolly been broken a few times that morning. We went back, after visiting the awesome great dental clinic at the Haleiwa med center. We had fish(?) some sort of oil poached recent catch, scrambled eggs, and toasted sourdough. It was worth eating, and not too expensive. I guess since Bob's has been advertising for new cooks/ servers in the North Shore News, things have changed. Service is 6 stars out of 5.
(3)Ray Z.
This is the first place we saw from the road. We ordered the chili burger with cheese medium rare. Our food took forever and when the burger finally came out it was hardened to a crisp.
(2)Patricia H.
OMG...the pizza here is amazing... the homemade sauce and the cheeses... wow. very very good. it's simple place, but the pizza is good!!!!!!!
(4)Carine P.
HORRIBLE. Expensive, terrible taste and small pizza portions.
(1)Misty H.
Excellent! The pizza was very fresh and handmade tasting. I had the Canadian bacon and pineapple, and my bf had cheese + tomato. Both were served blazing hot from the oven and were delicious! Definitely recommend. We were near the Dole plantation for a tourist destination and this made a convenient and yummy lunch.
(5)M P.
Great pizza. Casual.
(4)Evan F.
Pizza Bob's is place with a long-rich history on the North Store. While one's first thought might lead them to the pizza (because "Pizza" is in the name), there are menu options to suit a variety of taste buds. Pizza Bob's serves sandwiches, pastas, salads, soups, burgers, and, of course, pizza. With that much said, I will tell you of two of my favorites: First: Let me make it known - and, mind you, I used to serve tables there - that the burger is a winner. I worked there for a while before I stumbled upon it. It's like someone was keeping a secret from me. It's a little different because they use a ciabatta bun and a cheese medley, but the burger is seriously delicious. Second: Two words ... California Club. The California Club is their chicken sandwich. The chicken (marinated in their creamy house dressing and broiled on the barbecue) is topped with a cheese medley, crispy bacon, and avocado, served in a ciabatta bun smeared with thin layer of mayonnaise. Seriously ono! All in all, give Pizza Bob's a try. Especially now since you know they offer so much more than just great pizza.

I went to Pizza Bob's and got a burger. My friends got pizza. Yep. Contrary to the end. That's how I roll. Duh! I wasn't overly fanatic about the flat, though big, possibly formerly frozen beef patty of the Big Island Paniolo Burger ($11.50) with homemade BBQ sauce and my choice of American & Swiss cheeses. The tangy, smoky sauce and generous topping of red onion gave life to the sammich. My bottled Longboard Island Lager ($4.75) came wonderfully chilled and hit the spot perfectly. Service was marvelously attentive without being overly intrusive. Do I crave another Pizza Bob's burger? Not necessarily. But Bob's was a cool joint to munch out and relax over an aiiight burger and some chilled local brews with friends. Friends who said they loved their pizza. I should do pizza next time. Duh!

for a local place they should know how to make rice for a loco moco! very dry rice. should give it no stars.

We ate here for lunch and it was pretty tasty. We came in after lunch crowd and before dinner rush so we had a nice quiet lunch. Service was "ok" , the server did say don't worry about the "only one free refill" printed on the menu... We thought that was nice since the glass was 3/4 ice and very little soda. The pizza I thought was good, not very oily and very good thin crust. It was a bit pricey but we expected it going in so it was not a shock.

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat about 8 years ago. I recently moved back to the island and my visits to Pizza Bobs over the last few weeks have been TERRIBLE. The service is some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. They take forever to get your food out and the food quality is definitely not what it was 8 years ago. Their food is mediocre at best. Last time I ate there we waited over 20 minutes for a few slices of pizza and it tasted like it had been sitting out that whole time. I expressed my displeasure to the manager and he basically said he didn't care. I also had a $2 coupon which they wouldn't take even though it was completely valid. Apparently, keeping a customer isn't worth $2 to them and a little bit of decency. I am SO disappointed in Pizza Bobs. I will never be returning there again.

It's hard to find restaurants on the island that aren't either seafood, Hawaiian, Asian, etc. Being from the mainland, my husband and I are not fans of the local foods. Finding Pizza Bob's was such a relief! It's the perfect place for us! Honestly the best pizza I have had since moving to the island. Great selection of drinks as well! Some of the reviews wrote that the items on the menu were pricey. Ummm hello have you ate anywhere else on this island before? Personally we thought the prices were very reasonable. An appetizer, two different pizza selections, multiple mixed drinks, and dessert for $60. Much cheaper than I thought it would be! Pizza Bob's also has specials Monday through Saturday that are awesome. Yes a little outdated, but awesome food, drinks, and service! We will definitely be back again and again..... And again.
(5)Gspot H.
Service was good. Plenty Parking in back. The Turkey hot sandwich was good. Indoor and outdoor seating. Wished they offered pizza by the slice.
(2)Loki N.
Pretty good breakfast definitely a great price! Awesome customer service. And it's great because its open early, everything else in haleiwa town is open at 1; if I'm hungry at 10:45, I'm eating at 10:45! Props to being there when I need you!
(4)Shawnna E.
Food is very flavorful but the prices are a bit steep. 27.50 for a large 8 slice pizza and 7.50 for chili cheese fries. But the italian sausage is so fresh and flavorful! The waitress seemed nice, entertaining, and attentive to every other table but us as we had to flag down someone else for another plate (they only brought one with a large pizza and two people) and a glass of water.
(4)Jonathan Y.
We came here because we were out on this side and wanted to eat kua aina, but it was crowded so decided for pizza instead. The pizza crust is good, but everything else, not so great. The service is slow, and there were many flies inside the restaurant. The price is outrageous. I mean boston's north end is about the same, but it's a bigger pizza. I think if the service was better, it would make up for the horrible food
(1)Matt J.
Worst deal ever. I could have bought a dijorno pizza and it would have been the same, but much cheaper. Don't waste your money.
(1)Mark H.
Stopped in for a quick drink before lunch. Server was very friendly and helped us with some directions around town. Friends had some decent mixed drinks and the fries were nice and tasty. If I come back for food I will update this again.
(4)Pam S.
I'd say I was disappointed but I wasn't expecting much. I've been here years ago and it was OK. Half price salads & didn't feel like cooking so we decided to take a chance. We ordered beer and salad straight away - beers were half gone by the time the salad arrived and we had to ask a busperson to check on our food. The mixed green salad was really good with a mix of toppings and nuts for some crunch - dressing tasted fresh & homemade (not overly sweet) but it had an odd taste that I didn't like. We ordered half a deluxe pizza and it took just as long & was cold by the time we got it. As with previous reviews - crust was like a cheap box mix crossed with Ceci's. Not much flavor on any of the other toppings and it wasn't cheap. I expected a lot more for $14.00. I've had much better frozen pizza from Costco. Sorry Pixxa Bob's but you're back on the no-go list. I like to support the locally owned places but I'd rather see some better food in this prime location. On a side note, I was sad to see that Cafe Juice Universe around the corner is gone. Now THAT was a good place for food.
(2)Lorna M.
Not a place I will recomend to friends or family. Simple food (chicken wings) you can't really go wrong with it, so I thought? How can you mess up a really easy thing to cook in the kitchen? Well, apparently this place can. The place was very old and it has a musty smell to it. You can also smell the odor coming from the Bar as well.
(1)Cordell B.
Ate here on 10 Nov 2012 and the food was excellent. The Macadamia French toast was amazing. The fish and rice with eggs was good too, real Hawaiian food. If you want a burger get it back on the mainland 48 States. This join is for those who want to be Hawaiian
(5)KKTCA K.
My daughter ate here on June 10th. All she ordered was a caesars salad and she got violently sick. She had food poisoning that lasted till the following Sunday. She said she's never felt that sick after eating something like that in her life. She shared some of her salad with a friend who also got very sick. As soon as she ate it, within 1/2 hr she was throwing up. Needless to say, she or i, will never go there again. It's sad when you go to eat somewhere and this happens. Shame on them!
(1)Michael E.
Well the food was alright, atmosphere was decent, the staff seemed friend enough. However the older, manager looking gentleman wearing the aloha shirt with the top 2 buttons undone was a bit tacky!!! Food came out in pretty good time, the beer was cold always a plus.
(3)Austin G.
Pizza was really good! Took a bit long to cook, but it was worth the wait! It's a great place to takr the family to!
(4)Michelle C.
We stopped by Pizza Bob's after a day of hanging out on the beach. They have daily specials, I think there was a discount on draft beer the day we were there. The pizza was a bit pricey, but not outrageous and a large pizza feed 3 adults (2 men, 1 woman). The food was good and the pizza was really cheesy, yummy! The service was prompt and friendly. Outdoor seating was nice. Entering the restaurant is a little strange because you have to enter from the back. The restaurant is right on Kam Highway and a couple of blocks away from the bus stop.
(4)Harmony L.
I feel bad giving it two stars...so I'll give it three. Only because that garlic dressing is on point! I went here on a Wednesday night which is apparently half off all salads night, so that's cool--and a good deal. The salads were definitely the high point of this place. Fresh, yummy and unique ingredients lend themselves to be amplified by some DELISH garlic house dressing. I should've gotten some to drink to maybe cover up the flavor of the pizza... We went around 7pm, and most people were leaving when we showed up--so the speed of our service in my opinion was a bit delayed. Not terrible though, because I'm incredibly patient, had some great company and a delicious side salad to tide me over. It took us a little over an hour to receive a regular sized pepperoni pizza. No frills right? So am I right to think that's kinda slow? The crust tasted like if Bisquick dough had a baby with Little Cesar's 5 hour old crust. Very flavorless. Which would also describe the red color on top of it. I call it color because it definitely wasn't sauce. I think someone just took a red marker and drew a circle where the cheese ended. I literally tasted no sauce, and like I said in my Boston's pizza review, I'm a fan of sauce! The cheese was rubbery and all in all the pizza reminded me of frozen off-brand pizzas my mom used to buy us when were were broke as hell. Like for real. I really wanted to love this place because it's on north shore in a cute little area, and I would go again because I really dig that salad, but I felt awful knowing I went to a place with pizza in the title--and the pizza was soo disappointing. :/ Get it together, yeah?
(3)James H.
Love this place right in the heart of Hale'iwa! Good food and good prices. It may not be the the most elevated brand of Italian food you've ever had but the pizzas will fill you up and put a smile on your face. And they certainly don't cheap out when heaping the cheese on! Fast friendly service
(4)Jesse J.
So... there's several different types of pizza's, style, sauce, etc. I read the menu before we ordered. It goes into great detail about how this place has been open forever, and Pizza Bob went to Europe to learn how to make pizza. Let's preface that I HAVE eaten the best pizza in the world, and I also have been to Europe... so my expectations are pretty high at this point. He has combined a European style with Chicago thick crust. A little different.. but I'm always down for trying new stuff. We ordered a cheese pizza which uses 5 different cheese and another one with like everything on it. Pizza was decent. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever eaten, nor the worst. But it's also not a pizza that I'd run around town telling everyone and their mother about either. The one with everything was nice and spicy. The sausage was spicy enough you didn't even need to add red peppers. The soda's couldn't come quick enough... and I love hot food! It's a fun place to visit, with great people watching. So much is going on in North Shore, keep your eyes peeled!
(3)Jen S.
It took 45 minutes to get our food and 15 minutes for them to even come to our table to get drink orders. When we finally got our burgers and pizza, the meat was very well done and crunchy and for some reason, the meat was on another plate... The pizza was very greasy and sticky.
(1)Valerie M.
Pizza Bob's and Jameson's are my two favorite restaurants when I'm driving out to the North Shore. The ambiance at Pizza Bob's is perfect for this townie girl. I love sitting outside on their lanai listening to C&K and Kalapana. The music is cranked up loud outside, I think to drown out the car traffic sounds. Actually I like facing the street and watching the groups of bike riders out on their Sunday rides. This is a great place to decompress after a hectic work week. I didn't notice if the food service was slow, but then again I wasn't in a hurry anyway. Just chillaxin'. What I did notice was that while waiting for our food, two other tables with couples were waiting for their food, also and all six of us had our iPhones out and looking at it. Just an observation. I thought that was pretty funny.
(4)Carly B.
We stopped at Pizza Bob's for dinner on a Wednesday after being told that Wednesdays are half-priced salad night...and we needed a good deal after being price-gouged on food at LAX airport the day before. Pizza Bob's has a really pleasant patio. We sat next to the coi pond where we could watch the fish. Cousin and I got Longboards and we share a Haleiwa veggie salad (smaller one) and the panko crusted ahi sandwich. This was the perfect amount of food for two and the salad had a nice ginger citrus vinaigrette and lots of cheese and sprouts. The sandwich was decent as well - a big slab of crispy fried ahi with wasabi mayo and a side of tartar sauce. The fries were fries. Our damage was somewhere around $25, which seemed like a bargain after paying $12 for a bloody mary and $3 for a mufin at the airport. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and not looking for anything too unique or crazy.
(3)Ryan K.
This place can be pretty pricey but its a solid spot for pizza and their outdoor area makes for a relaxing dining experience. I usually end up going here when I crave fried zucchini since this is one of the few places on the island that has it. The pizza is really tasty, I'm a fan of the white pizza, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Service can be slow sometimes but they've always been friendly.
(3)Tim W.
We got lucky and hit Pizza Bob's on a Thursday night when they have their $3 specials. $3 for a large slice of pizza, a house salad, Mai Tais, etc. etc. We ate a couple slices of pizza and had some drinks. Food was hot and good. Service was good. Nice mix of people and a huge outside patio area. Great vibe at this place. Great choice if you are feeling like pizza.
(5)Ho H.
Pizza crust is nice. The menu didn't offer anything too special. Still there were no complaints from our table. It did take a while to get seated, essentially they were not fully staffed when bus loads of foreign tourists were there. Without those large table English language challenged groups I think service would have been better.
(3)Bobbie L.
This is one of those places that we would just drive by every time going through town. After hearing it was actually good, we gave it a shot. We will definately go back. The pizzas were good (good and greasy). But so was the burger!! Yummy. It wasn't that busy, so we didn't feel too horrible when our 3 boys (4, 2 and 2 months) wasn't the quietest kids in the world. The employees did forget about us a little. I would have thought they would have wanted to give us the bill right away (due to our kids) but we actually had to get up and ask for it (that is why there are one star short of perfect).
(4)Chris C.
3.5 Came here for lunch, short staffed but it was Christmas day so it's understandable. Ordered the Farmers Market Half size pizza with garlic bread and a half caesar. Garlic bread is okay, a little on the dry side. The pizza (4 slices, good enough for two people) was great! The dough is really fresh and has good flavor. Salad was your typical caesar, can't really mark a place up or down based on one. Sit out on the patio and enjoy your pizza while taking in the Hawaiian breeze :)
(4)Timothy A.
The burger I had was awesome; the bun was outstanding. The food is priced a bit high but it appears to cater to a lot of tourists. We ate just after the lunch rush and we still waited a bit. The food was excellent. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The service was good.
(3)Tom S.
Poor Pizza Bobs. We Waialua and Haleiwa residents keep going and we keep being dissapointed. They have great cold Sam Adams on tap and a decent burger (sometimes). The service is ALWAYS painfully slow. The rest of the food is average at best. If you go, order a beer as you walk past the bar on the way to your seat. It'll save you 10 minutes of waiting. Then sit back, be very patient (more beer), and eventually your food will come. The potential here for a good meal is awesome, we North Shore residents keep waiting (15 years now for me) for them to even come close! Good Luck!
(2)Peter C.
PRO'S: (based on a previous visit) pizza and salad was good, air-conditioned inside, restrooms available, forks & napkins provided w/ meal... CON'S: burnt, crunchy burgers; SNAIL-SLOW service; drinks not replenished promptly, reservation not ready; bugs outside... We arrived for our 5.30 p.m. reservation to celebrate a friend's birthday. We weren't seated outside on the covered porch until at least 15 minutes later. Our drink orders were taken, and after our drinks arrived they took our meal orders, which took about an hour!! :-p During the meal, our drinks weren't replenished in promptly, if at all. I had been told by several people that the burgers there were top notch, even perhaps the best on the island! However, at least three of us who had ordered burgers received them overdone and CHARRED! They were crunchy and dry, which was far from medium, which I ordered. We would have sent them back to have them done right, but we weren't prepared to wait another hour for our food again. We were never told why the service was slow and burgers crunchy. It would have been nice to have an apology or explanation from a manager (e.g. overstaffed, lead cook just quit, hurricane hit the kitchen, etc.). I'm not sure what was going on, but we definitely felt neglected during our visit and left having desired more from the service and meal.
(1)Janine R.
I was actually surprised but we enjoyed our lunch here. They had thin crust pizza with good flavor to the pizza sauce. The garlic bread with cheese was also good. And the burgers were huge! The wait staff wasn't all the great though. We had to chase them down to finally get our bill. They looked like they were short handed that day. All in all it a good meal until we wanted to leave.
(3)Benjamin O.
Good pizza and salads. Large pizza is the size of a medium other places but cost the same. When we were there the air conditioning was cranked up so we had to move outside to eat. Friendly staff.
(3)Rob W.
I like this place so much I think they should call it "Pizza Rob's." They got good specials 4pm til closing everyday of the week except Sunday. Definitely go on Thursday for $3 night, huge pizza slices, house salad, Mai Tais, wine & more all $3 each. I had 2 slices of 4 Cheese Pizza, a house salad & a Mai Tai for $12....in Hawaii....does life get any better than this? NO. Same offerings on Saturday for $4 each. Good mix of locals & tourist. Huge patio area in nice tropical garden setting. Great service. If you don't love Pizza Bob's you must have a cold heart and a dead soul!?!
(5)Karen P.
Okay the service was descent. The food however was nothing to write home about! The hamburger meat has funny taste. They are way too big! Flavor not good! We asked no tomatoes but they were put on the hamburger anyhow. They don't toast your bun. The chili burger was ok! The chili taste better if u eat one bite but after second or third you just don't want more of it! I hate the type of bread they serve! The other thing it is cold! Hard to eat when your freezing. The pizza was good according to my son!
(2)E C.
Horrible! Took 40 minutes to get our food after our our ridiculously bad waitress ignored us many times over ... When it did arrive, we were short one meal and the pizza is about on par with the cheaper frozen varieties ... To top it all off no one seemed to care that things took so long and I'm writing this review looking at my empty water glass. This is my second time here and the first go round was nearly as bad ... WILL NOT be back.
(1)Sandy H.
Once in a while my tribe and I will get together on the North Shore for an obligatory sit down dinner. Pizza Bob's is a frequent choice because getting tables for a large party is usually not a problem, unlike other North Shore establishments. I've only had their pizzas, and will admit they're quite delicious -- especially the Godfather. I'll agree that they're a little on the pricey side, and even with their nightly specials, a $4 slice/$4 salad won't satisfy this tummy. We tried the outdoor seating once and that was enough. The tables aren't as clean on the inside and eating with critters really isn't my cup of tea. Service is decent though the food can take a while to come out. Servers are usually cheerful and pleasant and worth a 20% tip.
(2)Missy S.
Not bad, I say. The breakfast is pretty good and simple. This is a very tourist kind of restaurant, so the breakfast would remind you of wailana's coffee shop in Waikiki. We shared a omelet (forgot the name of it), but it had ham, green onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Cooked and seasoned well. We ordered it with a side of wheat toast. The waiter was very attentive and kind, so our customer service was great. You can choose to sit outdoors or indoors. Prices are reasonable too. If I come here for lunch or dinner, next time I will update this review!
(4)Nicholas E.
This is my first review of a restaurant on Yelp and unfortunately it's not a good review at all about Pizza Bob's. This was my first time to Hawaii and so I wanted an experience myself and my lovely girlfriend would remember so I booked us a room at The Turtle Bay Resort for one week away from all the tourists in Honolulu. The only problem with staying at the Turtle Bay is driving to find a nice restaurant that's where Yelp comes in. We were in the mood for some Italian food and did a search on Yelp and came across Pizza Bob's, we walked into the restaurant only to be told someone would be with us in a moment the restaurant was not full at all after maybe five minutes we were seated. It was a Saturday night and we noticed the restaurant has a special you can get a 1/4 of a pizza for $4.50 which we found out consists of two little slices of pizza, you can also get salad for the same price so we ordered that as well. I ordered us an appetizer of Mozzarella sticks that came out not hot at all and the Marinara sauce that came with them was the worst sauce I had ever tasted in my life. Our pizza was just ok nothing special the $5 Little Caesar's pepperoni pizza puts this place to shame. I wonder how this place has been able to stay in business for so many years. My advice stay clear of this place if you want great pizza take the drive down to Honolulu and get California Pizza Kitchen you won't be sorry at all. North Shore needs to stick to what they do best and that's great fish not pizza.
(1)Lanny M.
Good thing for tourists who don't know any better or this place would be out of business. Food is terrible.
(1)T B.
Burger tasted like a frozen patty at best! No flavor except cardboard and processed beef. Even McDonald's adds salt and pepper. I'm sure the customer should not have to watch the wait staff spray for insects on the patio...
(1)Patricia F.
We visited Pizza Bob's on our first trip to Hawaii, visiting from California. After running away from the Honolulu area screaming because it was so like Los Angeles on a beach, and so disappointed in the food there, we retreated to North Shore and Pizza Bob's in Hale'iwa. Did we find a treat! We ate out on the patio which was great, and we sat and watched the geckos cruise around the trellis and umbrellas while we waited for our food. The pizza was great, the prices were good (compared to what you find elsewhere on the island!!) and the staff was very friendly. We were on Oahu for 10 days and ate here 3 times! Will return next visit.
(5)Stan A.
Great food here! My wife and I always get the Haleiwa salad.
(5)H. K.
Pros: Tasty toppings Outdoor seating Cons: Pizza was overpriced Crust was flavorless. Notes: I wouldn't eat here very often.
(3)Sharleen P.
Came here for breakfast one morning with my family as we were heading back from the farmer's market. Food is O.K. My daughter's pancakes looked a little stuff so maybe that's why they didn't enjoy it. My french toast platter was yummy. Haven't tried their lunch yet, will probably come back in the future. Service was alright, not great, but alright.
(3)Nihi N.
I didn't realize you could have breakfast there, in which I did. The portions were huge and the restaurant was very nice, our server was great, the only thing I didn't like and still don't, is adding the tip in the bill, I like to tip on performance, not out of obligation!
(3)Melissa R.
Oh where do I begin... I've had WAY better frozen pizza for MUCH cheaper. This place is overpriced and only attracts attention because it's in a tourist spot. Pizza Hut down the road is better than Pizza Bob's. Yeah it's hot out, but do they need to crank the A/C up so high? I was shaking and eating terrible pizza at the same time, not a good combo lemme tell you! And to top it off, our waitress completely ignored us the entire time and was usually found standing at the bar looking like Kelly Bundy trying to figure out 2+2. Never. Again.
(1)Kristen P.
The worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I would have preferred cafeteria pizza. I've never written a review before but felt like I had to warn others about how terrible it was.
(1)Steven K.
I love the pizza here, but the cost is a little high.
(3)Brent M.
Ate here right after getting off the plane and driving into town and loved it. It may just be that we were STARVING but the pizza and mozzarella sticks were solid. Prices were a little steep for what we got but it's a good spot and the people there are friendly, which seems to be rare at some local restaurants
(4)Ryan T.
Just decent. Nothing extra fancy, but the server was friendly and the prices were reasonable.
(3)Kimberley S.
Godfather pizza is delicious ! Draft beer reasonably priced. Despite what reviews say, service was excellent.
(4)Paige Miki O.
My most favorite thing about Pizza Bob's are the salads and the zucchini fries. and that's IT. Everything else is kinda...not that great. The pastas are soaked in sauces and are rather soggy :/ the sandwiches and burgers are ok, but still not worth the money. My hugest problem is the prices. $10 for a soup and salad. and the portion is only worth MAYBE $7 at the MOST. Everything is at LEAST 10 bucks, no matter what it is. And the fact is there's not enough food for 10 dollars worth of anything on your plate. The place is getting run down, but if they just lowered the prices, i'd be there more often instead of four times a year.
(2)Todd C.
This restaurant is a complete joke. PERIOD. From the half-dead hostess, to whom we actually had to say "hi" to first, because she didn't feel like greeting us, to the soggy pizza and lame salad and our lousy waitress who was trying to rush us out of the restaurant, this place is a complete failure. Bob, your restaurant is dead, put it out of it's misery and shut it down already.
(1)Bob W.
Besides the cheese garlic bread, nothing else was good. I had a cheeseburger and it was the only cheeseburger I ever hated. It tasted like I was eating mystery meat and dishwater. My friends split a pizza. It was an OK size but it tasted like, well, dishwater. Overall I was not satisfied wig my dinner.
(2)Chuck W.
We were here over twenty years ago but not like it used to be. Food and service poor.
(1)Lofa L.
I have to say the food is good. But when I ordered linguine for lunch and had the small bowl show up I was sad. I'm glad it came with a salad, but the prices they charge here is not for the locals. Saving my money and going Stortos and getting full next time. I can't help it. I'm a big eater.
(3)Gary W.
If your looking for pizza, your better off going to the Pizza Hut.
(2)H M.
2 stars because their omlettes where great, but sad to say I will never go back to this place that I loved as a teen. Place looks tacky like those places you see on Restaurant Impossible. Waited at least 30minutes for breakfast take out on a day they had 10 tables at the very most. Ordered their combo that was supposed to include 2banana pancakes, 2eggs and spam. The reason why we waited so long is due to them not making the pancakes. Lady who looked like the order multiple times (she was also the person who took the order on the phone), told me everything was in there, we were all set. Having only 1 arm, I didnt wanna mess up the food in the bag, so I trusted her-big mistake. Got home and the eggs and spam were missing. I did not pay $30+ for food (and I tipped her), for a ridiculously long wait, no courtesy notice to let me know we'd have to wait for an additional 15 minutes after we had got there(we arrived 15min or later after placing order-was quoted 20min). And then to have an incomplete order after that. It was heartbreaking because it was my son's food. Never again. I'll just go to Cafe Haleiwa. Im ok waiting at a place that has great, accurate service and amazing food.
(2)Gidget A.
First time eating here and I liked it. The Canadian Bacon Pizza was good. Mozzarella sticks, EHHH.. I had better. Service was not that swift assuming they were short. I would come back.
(4)Oscar R.
Back in the day when I lived here, this place was pretty good. However, the service was always sketchy. I would usually order the Big Island Paniolo burger, which was quite tasty, cuz the Paniolo bbq sauce is off the chain! Also, the pizza was always good. The Godfather, East Side West Side, The White & The Greenwich Village are all good pizzas that I would recommend. However, it has been since 2007, so who knows what's going on in this place now :P
(3)Cami N.
Located near the famous Matsumoto's shave ice store, this place should for sure be avoided. I ordered a Mushroom Pizza and some fries. Pizza was horrible and had no flavor. Crust was kind of crispy and the pizza was way over cheesy. I like cheese but I don't only like cheese. I think the cheese was 5x thicker than the pizza dough itself. Fries lost their crispiness the second they cooled. Bathroom was super small and dingy. The restaurant looked like it got cleaned once every two days, and the servers were OKAY. Not overly friendly but not snotty either. One star for Bob for making crappy pizzas.
(1)Dean C.
Service blows! Food took over an hour and arrived luke warm. Staff seemed to have forgotten us. Requests for refills went unanswered. Would have had a better dining experience at 7-11.
(1)Kimberly G.
Outside atmosphere is great, service is slow, but what is the rush? I especially like the weekday specials . Food is fine. Staff is very nice, my friends and I don't expect to rush when we go there. They use local farmers.
(3)Jenny R.
Seriously discusting. We had two sandwiches, both were gross. I hear the pizza may be better however we will never be back. Also the patio was trashed, garbage everywhere.
(1)Page I.
Horrible pizza. :( It doesn't taste much different from frozen pizza--almost similar to Digiorno. The prices are outrageous as well... I don't know the exact measurement in terms of feet and inches, but in layman's terms, I would say the pie was about the size of a dinner plate, for $20 (half veggie supreme, half pepperoni). The service is pretty much non-existent, too, we practically had to twist the waitress' arm to get her to give us a water refill. We went while it was still pretty empty, around 5 pm.
(2)John J.
Why do I keep forgetting how horrible this place is??? I went again last night. We were seated promptly and immediately noticed our server wasn't in a good mood and didn't crack a smile. She took our order and returned with the drinks. Then disappeared. We noticed there were three or four other tables nearby that were occupied. The outside section looked busy. The inside section on the other side of the restaurant had been half-full as well. While waiting for forty five minutes on our order I noticed a lot of the surrounding tables hadn't been served their food as well. My two young children started to get unruly and it was hard containing them. While walking my child my wife overheard that a party of 30 was ahead of everyone's orders so everyone was going to have to wait. When my daughter plopped down on the floor and started screaming I knew we had to leave, food or no. So I went to get a waiter. I couldn't remember what ours had looked like. So I grabbed someone right as our food came out. So I went back and ate. I had a burger and wolfed it down so I could attend to my kids while my wife ate. She had the chicken ceasar, which was very bland. The croutons were nice, but the rest was blah. My son had fries and chicken strips. They were pretty good. They were nice about it and gave us 8.88 off our order without us even saying anything or complaining. They realized the wait was bad. I don't mind a bad meal once in a while, but as me and my wife thought back on the half dozen times we've been there, only maybe once was there not a horrible wait and blah food. We go there once a year or so, maybe, so we forget how bad it is...we simply thought "I don't wanna go to McDonald's" and ended up there because of name recognition. I don't blame the waiters and waitresses. They are doing a hard job and are overworked, but someone needs to increase staff or expedite better or manage better, because this place is a trainwreck of a dining experience...

I got a big island burger and it wasn't bad. Wasn't amazing. Wasn't awful. Service was alright, and at least they had a table for a group of our size! For being a little empty I thought the food wait was a little long but that's alright I guess. I don't head up to Haleiwa often, so not sure if I'll be around here much but it's a last resort spot if other waits nearby are too long.

Great breakfast! A wonderful surprise because I didn't think a pizza place for breakfast. I was greeted & seated right away by a friendly person named Burt. This place looks very nice. A place you would be happy to bring your wife & family. The Pancakes, eggs, & sausage I ordered today were all excellent! Coffee was also very good. To top it off my server, Taryn, was friendly and helpful with suggestions on their menu. Pizza Bob's is a must for breakfast. I will be back... soon!

It was not really a planned visit and I must say that it is not a place I would have chosen but we were driving up to the North shore and I was just starving so we tried to find somewhere for breakfast and I did not feel like driving around forever so we went here. I was expecting it to be pretty awful but was positively surprised. We were promptly shown a table and ordered some breakfast and coffee. The coffee was quickly given to us and while it was pretty bad it was not undrinkable. then we waited, waited and waited - food took forever. The place was not even close to being half-full and we still waited around 30 minutes for our breakfast. When it come my omelet was however very tasty,my fiancee had the french toast which according to her was not that good (no real flavor other than an overwhelming sweetness). Still a decent place for breakfast - not cheap but not that expensive either. Do however not go here if you are in a hurry. Not only did we have to wait for the food but getting the bill also took a long time and then we actually gave up waiting and walked up to entrance to pay it.

I always look forward to returning home and eating lunch or dinner at Pizza Bob's. They have an outdoor patio (perfect for Hawaii) and good food. It is a pizza and grill menu and good service. Once I was there with family and a lid was loose on the salt and the it spill on my plate but the waiter grabbed it before I could even blink - returned it to the kitchen and brought out a fresh plate. Now THAT is service. He got a good tip!
(5)Dan T.
The food here is OK, there are limited options for where to eat here that is convenient. I think the food is pretty expensive. its hard to pay $24+ for a pizza - and its not stellar either. The other less than spectacular reviews are pretty much spot on.
(3)Scott H.
There are lots of better options in waleiwa, skip this one. I didnt check the review before eating here, but honestly was not expecting to see such a high rating when I got done eating. We had garlic bread app, half pizza, chicken caesar and a fish sandwich. They just pour on seasoning to the pizza and garlic bread to the point where it felt like chewing on sand. The sauce was almost as bad as the fake ketchup that they hide in old Heinz bottles (most definitely not Heinz). The chicken in the chicken ceasar was like the precooked package of rubbery stuff you see in the supermarket, and it was served cold in a side bowl. what?? I could understand if the prices were half of what they were, but this place serves food that I would expect at a cheap all-inclusive in Mexico for drunk spring breakers. Just avoid... first time I've ever had to write such a bad review...
(1)Ian A.
there pizza's are way awesome! order the hawaiian pizza pineapple and canadian bacon.. kinda pricey but hey it's the only good pizza place in the north shore area.. Great place to go before or after the beach..
(4)Natalie W.
Solid pizza!... with the the consistency and texture of crust that I like- but with a slightly bland crust taste. Bob's offers salads, a few pasta options, make your own pizza options, and pizza combos. The pizza are ordered in 1/2, regular, or large. The combos can be ordered half and half also- two pizzas in one! A whole regular pizza runs about $22-27. We ordered a white pizza sauce combo and a red pizza sauce combo- the white sauce toppings combo was really good- the red sauce combo was basic and filling. The pizza does not come with a lot of sauce, and is comprised more of toppings and a medium thickness of cheese. FYI's~ * Large outdoor patio with seating- has covered patio options * Fun tourist souvenir t shirts * old Haleiwa restaurant with lots of seating and a cute start up story

Good pizza, but pricy
(4)Jeannanicole D.
Good pizza and COLD delicious caesar salad. Staff is a little sketchy but they're not too slow.
(3)John C.
Nice lunch spot when you are on the North Shore. Pizzas are great and salads were fresh. Had a couple Longboard Draft beers to wash everything down. Waiter was friendly and efficient. Overall still a nice place.
(4)Ranell L.
In the heart of haleiwa town! I used to come here when a was just a little girl. We went here recently for a date night and it was great. The food was yummy! Its good to know that they have food specials 7 days a week! The price point was really good. I ordered the white pizza and absolutely loved it. The server we had was really nice.
(4)Natasha B.
Okayyyy... My family and I tried the pizza and it was very good. I love the garlic crust! The thing is, is that we're from the mid-west and we have our own way we like our pizza. Well they have a "create your own" section. The pizza started out at $18. And some odd change. But every topping cost $3.50!!! I'm sorry but I'm used to paying about 20-25 bucks on pizza! I know these are island prices but still...With drinks and pizza it was $48 something:( so minus a star for the price. And our waiter came to our table a total of 3 times. Once for drink orders, once for the food order, and once to get us a box for the leftovers.... So minus a star because joe blow wouldn't hardly wait on us.
(3)Gaelen L.
Pizza goers beware! Overpriced and under-flavored! My wife and I came here on a whim and were thoroughly disappointed. The homemade sauce was barely there, meaning we couldn't even taste it. The fresh garlic was so overpowering and I am a garlic fanatic! The pizzas will run you $20-30. I would've rather spent my cash at Calif. Pizza Kitchen. The only good thing was the friendly wait staff. I can't believe we paid $54 for a pizza, app, and 2 drinks. STAY AWAY!
(1)Brandon F.
The service was good not great, same with the food it was good but not amazing.
(2)Mindy B.
We came here for dinner in the past few weeks and had a horrible experience. We arrived and were not greeted by anyone for 5 minutes. We were finally seated and waited 15 minutes for someone to help us. We placed our order for pizza and 30 minutes later it arrived and it was not what we ordered. The waiter, who wore a flower behind his ear, seemed very overwhelmed and disorganized. It wazn't very busy. The pizza tasted alright so we were happy about that. I would suggest to find a different place to eat Italian food in Haleiwa if you want great customer service.
(1)Megan G.
Not bad for a Sunday afternoon lunch. Two huge salads, a burger and fries, two beers and the total was still less than 25 bucks! Not such a bad spot for a quick casual bite.
(3)Jack B.
Pricey, but has good specialty pizzas. If anyone from management reads this, please get your wait staff to get the lead out. Paid $90 for 4 people for some pizza and pasta and had to take my own check to the register. Nobody even asked my guests if they'd like a refill of their obviously empty drinks. If you're going to attempt a high end price you need to match it with service. Bobs is good, but it ain't that good. There is a trend in the reviews here.
(2)Robert M.
It was okay. The atmosphere was okay, a nice outside patio, but nothing great. The pizza was good, but pretty limited topping choices, especially when I ate at Kona Brewing Company the night before. Its a little expensive, as you look at it and think "cheap pizza lunch" but end up paying almost 30 for a large pizza.
(3)Crystal B.
I laughed out loud when I read Harmony L.'s review, because I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing... I was incredibly and very happily surprised by the delicious dressing on the caesar salads. It tasted like it was made in house from scratch, a very rare thing for caesar dressing. I could taste the garlic, the lemon, and it was awesome! It made me very excited about my entree. The entree (the Pasta Barcelona) was good, but nothing like the dressing on the salad. It had chunks of chicken rather than slices, and it didn't really have any sear on it which made it a little bland. The sauce was good, but there was a serious lack of artichokes in the pasta, which was the part that would have made the dish more interesting. It was an okay dish. Next time I'll just get an entree salad. The service was also okay. The server seemed insanely busy, so I want to cut him a little slack. We ordered an appetizer (which we were charged for) but it never arrived. He was quick about taking it off the check and our waters did get refilled, so no harm no foul. A-ok seems like a good rating for how I felt about the meal. I'll be back for the salads, but I don't know that I'll venture much further than that.
(3)James L.
Considering the price, this place is not really a great place for pizza. It cost about $13 for a half-sized of a 1ft pizza, which is good for two small eaters, or a moderate eater. There's a fairly good selection, but the taste of it was definitely not as good as the bigger guys. Other than that the service was okay, but it took a while for us to be seated considering how empty the restaurant was. If you're up in this Haleiwa area, try something more local.
(3)Michelle L.
pizzas are alright, small kine pricey. my friend and i shared half a pizza and it was definitely not enough food, at least for me. my friend was impressed they made half of the half pizza without cheese for her since she is lactose intolerant. our food took forever and a half to come. our group devoured our appetizer loooooong before anything else arrived. service was lacking for sure. our waiter got tired of filling our waters or something so he just gave us to whole damn pitcher. wow, thanks. but overall its not a bad place to hit up after the beach.
(3)salina l.
went for breakfast. there was only a couple other people eating there. it took more than 20min to get our cold food. the waitress never came to fill our coffee, we went behind the bar to fill it ourselves. the food was good but the bad service ruined the "going out to breakfast".
(2)Steve A.
Ok, so this might not have been the best choice in restaurants In Haleiwa. Still, we were killing time before hitting the Polynesian Cultural Center and wanted some Hawaii pizza. Oddly, we ordered the veggie pizza instead. The pizza was decently good, and it was obviously made fresh, but the whole experience felt too ... bland. We got seated outside, where the tables and chairs weren't clean, swarms of flies hit our food and service was harder to come by. If the food was out of this world, it may have garnered a 4 star and repeat business. As it is, I wouldn't go back, even if I was a local.
(2)Tracie F.
Can I give negative stars???? Where do I start? We were seated immediately in a nice booth. That's where the positive comments end. A young kid came to take our order and we weren't ready. He acted put out and told us he would come back. We asked him if a pizza would really take the 20 min prep time the menu stated (which I thought was a nice touch). He said that it would. We decided to order items that wouldn't take as long since I had an injured back and couldn't sit very long. Meanwhile a large party came and our snotty little server went to take their order. 20 minutes later we still had no food but the large party whose order was taken AFTER ours had 3 steaming hot pizzas coming to their table. Apparently one was not to their liking so I stopped the kid and asked him if we could have that pizza if they didn't want it. "you'll have to buy it you know?" um really??? You don't give out free food here??? Thanks for the news flash. I assured him I was willing to pay for it. He took it back to the kitchen and returned with our food (I guess that meant "no you can't have the pizza"). My soup was cold. Not lukewarm. Not kinda warm. COLD. The bread was lukewarm. At this point we told the waiter we wanted to talk to the manager. He stormed off to go talk to a lady near the bar. She carried on a conversation with another employee and then took care of other guests. While she was seating them I asked her if we could see her when she was done. Embarrassing me in front of the other guests, she loudly told me she would speak with me when she was done. She brought her sassy little butt to our table and continued to tell us that we didn't have to eat the food. Thank you for your permission to NOT eat the food. She was rude, condescending and showed no care or concern for us as patrons. I took my walker, informed her I was not going to be treated rudely by her or her wait staff and walked out. Meanwhile, my mom stayed at the table and the manager smirked and looked at my mom apologetically like "gosh I am so sorry you have genetic relation to her". She grabbed the food from my moms and told her again that she didn't have to eat it. I think she was worried mom was gonna do the ole slip the cheeseburger in the purse and dash routine. Seriously I wanted to tell her where to shove her cheeseburger. I will eat at Purina feed company before I ever step foot in that rat hole again.
(1)Kaylee H.
Food was fine, atmosphere was ok, but the service sucked. I guess I'll never understand why a restaurant will have a sea of empty tables and a line a mile long waiting for a table. You don't have enough servers for all those tables? Then GET them. We waited and waited... and waited. When we finally were shown to one of those empty tables, it took about an hour for us to finally get our food. No refills on iced tea and water. People at a neighbor table who were seated after us got their food before we did. NOT cool. But we were on vacation so we said "no worries." We go to Hawaii a couple times a year and will not be coming back here.
(2)Carol K.
Food is ok not amazing or anything special. Inside looks a little older and a little dirty, mostly just sand and dust everywhere. Overall it was a meh experience.
(2)Talon G.
Last time I ate here was over 10 yrs ago. I used to drive the long distance from Kailua because I enjoyed the food so much. Today my food was horrible and the service was even worse. Our server seemed busy doing everything but helping us. The menu states that the pizza takes 20 minutes to prepare. That scared me so we ordered burgers. The two families next to us got their food before we got ours, one of which was a pizza. To my disappointment, the burgers were made with sandwich bread instead of a bun. They lacked flavor & the bread was so thick that I ate it with just one slice. We sat outside only to find out that we had to share our food with huge annoying flies. I shouldn't have been surprised since across the parking lot there's a farm of chickens. We finished our drinks & was never offered a refill. As server was never around, we asked the host to retrieve our bill. When she returned with the bill, she still didn't offer to refill our drinks. Not once did any of the servers or any other worker thank us for dinning there. It wasn't t until we passed the baron our way out did we get a thanks from the bartender. We stopped to use the restrooms and after eating horrible food, I almost vomited in the bathroom. It smelled gross and looked really dirty. I usually prefer no to write bad reviews, but our experience was exceptionally bad!

We liked the salad but that was pretty much it. The service was strangely slow and we were there at 11. Hardly anyone there. Waitress was nice but didn't explain why it was taking so freaking long. Daughter got pizza which thankfully came right away.Hubby got fried ahi sandwich and I ordered BLT. Tell me why it took almost 15-20min for my BLT to come out after my hubby's sandwich?!? It's a BLT, it takes like 5 min to make. Im a pregnant hungry lady so i was not too thrilled but hubby was quite angry and hes usually a very laid back guy but not when it comes to a hungry pregnant wife. What made my fuming hubby even more mad was that two guys who sat down after us got their burgers very quickly while I was still waiting for my BLT. We are always fair and generous in our tipping but hubby was so very upset he left a dollar. It took almost over an hour for us to get all our food for simple sandwiches. On top of all that the BLT was not very good...waste of time and money on vacation!!

This place needs a serious makeover and so does that pizza. Is it pre-made frozen pizza? Where's Bob? The crust was hard and the sauce was salty. There was definitely a lack of quality here. Worse pizza I've had in years. The staff sucked, too. Bob, where are you? I need you to give Gordon Ramsay a call.
(1)Ann T.
I feel like I grew up on the North Shore, and Pizza Bob's has been there for much of it. They have the best pizza, the crust is perfect! They also make a killer "Haleiwa Veggie Salad" that I think I eat about every other day when I visit. Another must try is the "California Chicken Club." YUM Had my rehearsal dinner there when I got married and it is still the first place we stop when we get into town.
(5)Lisa J.
UPDATED (June 5, 2008): I gave them another star. We went back again and had a much better experience with the food and service. They made a mistake and put the wrong topping on the pizza I ordered so they let me keep the 'reject' (which turned out to be better than what I ordered) and brought out the right order soon after. We were seated outside because it was freezing cold inside the restaurant, but after seeing mosquitos buzzing around, we moved indoors. I still got eaten alive...my mosquito bites swelled to ginormous proportions the next day and itched like a mother. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My first time here and what did I order? Soup and salad, lol. 4 of us went on Sunday (Mother's Day) at around 2:00 and waited about 10 minutes for a table. Once we got seated, I looked around and noticed that the tables around us weren't all full and that anyone who came in were made to wait at least 5-10 minutes. Weird. Maybe they were understaffed since it was Mother's Day? Between the 4 of us, we ordered an oriental chicken salad, soup (portuguese bean) & salad combo, bbq burger, and the ahi katsu sandwich. I think it took close to 30 minutes for our food to be brought to the table. My soup and salad was the last thing to be brought, despite it being the easiest to put together. Our waitress said that 'they were working on the soup'. Do they make each cup of soup from scratch when the order comes in? I overheard the table next to ours also mention the long wait for the food. They couldn't wait any longer and wanted whatever they were waiting for to just be taken off their bill. Although our waitress was nice, service was painfully slow. =( Sorry Pizza Bob's, I don't think I'll be rushing to return back anytime soon.

Pretty decent place to stop for lunch. Food quality, price, and quantity were average. Great service.
(3)Cheyne S.
My all-time favorite place to eat. Go there 1-3 times a week. It is a great family place, and , I love the pizza. Not the best, but love it. Have good special deals every week day. Great for locals, not bad for tourists. And after dinner, there is a great place for dessert right next store. Scoop of Paradise has video games, ice cream, video games, and fun. Try out PB's!
(5)Stephanie T.
Pizza Bob's was really good. As you all know, I am a rough critic when it comes to pizza so here goes: The crust and sauce were pretty good. Nothing too crazy spice/flavor wise, but the cheese is what makes Pizza Bob's so yummy! A fantastic blend of 5 different cheeses. SO delic! Good salad portions and their ranch is very good! We sat outside on the patio, which was very nice. Loved the gear to buy and was actually pretty affordable. 20 bucks for a sweatshirt. Not bad.
(4)Jen S.
My brother, his friend, and I stopped here for lunch after our kayaking excursion in Kahana Bay. Gosh, I can't remember what pizza we ordered but it was a combination of meat and veggies on it but I do remember that it was good going down! I can't say the same thing for the service. Our server lagged in getting us water and our food. We were a bit miffed by the sub-standard attention and service.
(3)sam y.
Finally tried Pizza Bob's last night. I ordered half a white pizza, a boston lager and we had Bruschetta as an appetizer. This is a gourmet pizza place so you are not going to get a $19.99 2 large special with a 2 liter of coke. So keeping quality versus quantity in mind Pizza Bob's is pretty good. I usually don't eat gourmet pizza but knew I had to try Pizza Bob's before I left the island on my 6 week stay. There were 3 of us we each had half of a pizza and a beer with the Bruschetta and the bill was $60. $20 each is reasonable. Also Monday night is $2 beer night. I seem to be able to find the $2 beer nights with ease on this island.
(4)Nina R.
Came here for lunch expecting amazing pizza. 4 of us ordered a large thinking it would be enough but the large looked more like a medium size at other pizza chains. The pizza was good but not worth the $24 that it cost.
(2)Andrew P.
Horrible pizza...you could tell just looking at it. I really think they are using the wrong dough to make pizzas with. How is this place still open selling this garbage?
(1)Jorge H.
Funny, but I went here and didn't have a pizza. We had sandwiches instead and boy were they delicious! They were turkey subs that tasted like Pizza. It was packed on with meat and cheese...very very yummy. The place wasn't all that great, service was a little slow and we ate outdoors with birds and some flies. However, it was in a good spot and much cheaper than the surrounding restaurants.
(3)Laurie G.
For such an unoriginal name Pizza Bob's surprised me. The food is great. Orginal pizza recipe's galore. We had the Grilled Chicken Milano pizza and it exceeded my expectations. The fried calamari was great too. The atmosphere is reminscent of something out of a Beach Boy's song, and is very unrushed. The staff seems to work on the same principle. Slow service, but friendly. I would give this 5 stars but the prices are also steep. 17 roughly for a 12" pie. They also only give you one refill on drinks. Aside from slow staff and stiff prices, Pizza Bob's is a great place to eat, just make sure you have a wallet to accomodate.
(4)Sam O.
This is my favorite place on the north shore. I really like the fried Ahi sandwich (Ahi Katsu, I think.) The pizza is decent, and the salads are really good. On our most recent visit, my wife ordered a smoothie, and it was delicious! We have taken quite a few guests here, and there have never been complaints. It's a nice place to sit outside, and enjoy a beautiful Hawaiian evening.
(5)Rossi C.
When I first came to Pizza Bob's, I was like, "there is no way in hell this place can beat mainland pizza". One bite and I discovered locals can sure make a mean slice of pizza. That day I fell in love with Pizza Bob and Jack Johnson.
(4)Sean L.
Shortly after arriving I noticed the prices on the menu were a bit high. Then i thought that maybe it is high because it is awesome pizza... We later were seated and placed our order. Then I notice the table next to us was upset because they had not received their food 40 minutes after ordering. To make matters worse for them, the server was nowhere to be found in a 10 minute period. Back to the matter at hand.... We had ordered a large 14 inch pizza with half pepperoni and half cheese for around 20 dollars in good faith that it's an amazing pizza. But to my dismay I find upon receiving the pizza that it's the equivalent to a frozen red barons pizza from the store. Tasted the same too... The only thing that left a lasting impression (besides the unnessassary dent in my wallet), was the everlasting heart burn that lingers to remind me why it was a bad idea to eat here. Save your money by a frozen pizza rather than eat out there.

I live here in Hawaii an heard good things about pizza bobs so I decided to bring my family there when they came to visit. (I hadn't eaten there previously) we went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't very crowded. There was no hostess there to greet people and there were several parties waiting before us as well. After about 10 or 15 minutes of just standing there waiting around to be seated. A very rude woman finally took down the names of the parties waiting to be seated, and then just walked away. Looking around there were about 7 or 8 empty tables, but the woman continued to walk around and not seat anyone. We finally asked her how much longer it would take to be seated and she kind of got an attitude and said it would be a few more minutes, so we waited about 15 more minutes and still never got a table. People around us were getting very agitated as well, and may people left. Including ourselves. So I cannot rate Pizza Bobs food, but the service was horrible, and the "hostess" was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. We didn't want to give them our money, so we went to Cholos (great service and food) defiantly will not be revisiting pizza bobs any time soon!!
(1)M T.
service was slow slow slow. pasta was well...i've had better at zippy's
(2)AsianRunningDiva S.
This is our second time eating here and the experience was pretty much the same both times. It's not a place we seek out to go to, but it was Christmas Day and we had just spent the morning on the beach surfing and sunning and we were hungry by 2pm! We tried going to Ted's Bakery, but the line was SO LONG...we knew it would be a long wait. So we went into town and found that Pizza Bob's was open. A lot of others were looking for food too, and there was a line to be seated! We had 6 people in our party, so we had to wait 15 minutes before being seated. They gave us a huge table for 8 so we had lots of room! We ordered a regular godfather, a regular white, and a regular cheese. The wait was horrendous! It took about 20-25 minutes to get our food, so we were really starved by this point! We got 2 of our pizzas, but not the cheese. We had to ask (after waiting 10 min) for them to check on the pizza...apparently they forgot to deliver it to us 10 min ago! The Godfather was good, crust was thin and crispy...the white was weird with onions and mushrooms and lots of garlic...the cheese was nothing special. The wait was long, the restaurant was freezing, but it was about the only open for Christmas! We were satisfied since we were starved! :)
