Nikki’s Pizza is one of the few places in Ka’anapali with good food priced proportionally. Pizzas are made to order (you can also get slices), there are enormous sandwiches and heroes, and pretty good shave ice (a little icy, but the best option if you’re not driving down to Lahaina to try Ululani’s). Nikki’s has […]

Penne Pasta is a good choice for no-frills, no-surprises, well priced Italian food. Well-known Maui chef Mark Ellman (Mala and the brand new Honu) opened this small, amiable eatery and then passed it on to his sous chef, who continues to cook the same authentic Italian — and some Italian-American — dishes for $18 or […]

Pizza Madness is filled with huge bronzed wall and ceiling sculptures of undersea creatures — turtles, squid, a huge shark — devouring slices of pizza. They made us laugh the first time we saw them, and they still delight our inner children. The exceptionally dark wooden paneling on the walls, the huge slabs of tables […]

Shaka is an East Coast-style pizzeria, and it wins lots of local awards … but keep in mind that pizza is not indigenous to Maui. The crust is okay, but the tomato sauce is lacking the complexity we want in really good pizza, where the sauce is the star of the show. You’ll do better […]

We can’t help but like Tiki Lounge, the open-air, thatchroofed bar in Kalama Village. The food (sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos) is average, but the drinks are generally good, and it’s got a fun, relaxed vibe that just works, and has for a while. Live music, surfing videos projected on a giant screen … it’s a […]
