La Pizza Rina

La Pizza Rina is a family run business. They are Very hard workers, a very friendly family... always a pleasure to go there and eat fresh amazing Italian food, or grab takeout to go. Love this place everyone should try it.

What a wonderful place. Authentic and still geared for Hawaiian tastes. I had Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. The sausage (2) were a little small, but were good Italian Sausage (strong in fennel and pork). The sauce was robust, fresh and flavorful, but had the sweetness that so many people who live here love. It makes me think this might be close to what the original sauce "Chef Boiardi" created 100 years ago, that became so popular. Not the mass produced, sodium-filled monstrosity it is now. But the star was the pizza. Not the prettiest, the crust a little doughy... still amazing. The sauce was the best pizza sauce I've had on O'ahu... powerful, seasoned well and garlicy. The sausage was the same as in the spaghetti; very good. Not a conveyer oven... classic pizza place oven (Tho, not wood or coal fired). a minute or few longer would have made a better undercarriage and enhanced crispiness. The crust was still some of the best on O'ahu I've had. Delicious. This should be anybody's place when you crave that mom-&-pop Italian joint vibe and food. I will be making this place a regular eatery. All they need is the Chianti bottles with the candle!

I am not kidding when I say this is one of the most fresh and flavorful pizzas I have ever had in my travels. My friend and I came here multiple times. You can customize everything about the pizza, from toppings to crust thickness. It's a small and quiet spot, no music playing, just perfect. The pizza isn't drenched in oil, the crust is super crispy, and the ingredients taste fresh as can be. Now I must return to the mainland with a La Pizza Rina shaped hole in my heart...

Everything was so delicious. Beyond our expectations. Salad was fresh and the dressing was refreshing, the right amount of acid and great balance. Pasta with meatballs was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce and meatballs were seasoned nicely. We sprinkled the chili flakes and it added great kick. We also got medium crust pizza with cheese and mushrooms, it was delicious. The crust was not burnt but it got good crisp to it! We ended up taking some home and even after reheating it was still delicious! We use print paper to place the pizza on top. Oven set to 400° and reheat for 4 mins.

Pizza was excellent. It is a smaller restaurant with pretty moderate prices. I enjoyed the pizza very much, the sauce tasted fresh, cheese was nice and thick, and crust was made to perfection. Also had subs and pastas. Only con, the water seemed to be nothing more than tap water, but did not bother me personally.

Very cute and reminds me of NY. Food was excellent!

Came here to try someplace different and am glad we did. First off there is some street parking right in front of the store that is metered and a small parking lot in the back that is free up to 1700 I believe. The place is nice and clean and the menu fairly straightforward. I wanted to try a pizza so got the Mini 8" which as of this review 10-2021 was 10 dollars which I thought was a pretty decent deal. Crust was nice with just enough sauce. Baked spaghetti came out bubbling hot and was pretty good as well. The two dishes were more than enough for me and the GF. Service was spot on and so friendly. It's amazing what a good server can do to create a good experience. While not a foodie destination I had a great time with good simple food priced very fairly for the amount they give. I'll definitely be back.

Legit pizza, they don’t do slices but they have small pizzas that come out fast and are reasonably priced. The pasta is good too. Definitely a great lunch spot.
