Whether you are dining at a fancy Italian bistro or simply grabbing a slice from the pizzeria down the street, everyone loves a good slice of pizza. Hawaii isn’t necessarily known for its delicious Italian food, but luckily for us, there are still a few excellent pizzerias across the islands to satisfy that ever-present pizza craving — including this remote gem that serves pizza, pastas, salads, seafood, and so much more. 

Tucked away off-the-beaten-path on Hawaii Island in the tiny little town of Volcano Village — population 2,575 — is Ohelo Cafe. Perhaps one of the small town’s nicest restaurants, Ohelo Cafe is a haven for pizza lovers.

Due to the popularity of Ohelo Cafe, combined with limited “fine dining” options in the area, we recommend calling ahead to make a reservation.
