Black Rock Pizza - Captain Cook

This hillside restaurant with great ocean and sunset views has outstanding pepperoni rolls, pizza selections and chocolate or peanut butter cannoli to finish your dining experience. The service was great and expedient. The margaritas and local beers are also delicious.

Just like most places on the island, you are paying for the atmosphere and it doesn’t disappoint. Every pizza we tried was great and very unique. Only complaint I had was I got a Bloody Mary that was very light on booze - kinda tasted like it had none at all. Beer selection was decent though. Most people inside were locals so it was nice to get away from the tourists.

In the friendliest US state I managed to find THE friendliest staff. Everyone is having a great time. As for the food, the pizzas were amazing! We tried the za'co as well, which is a pizza-taco super merge, and it was surprisingly good! Prices are lower than we expected so it alll amounted to a great experience. Restrooms are clean and full of hilarious motivational messages. You have to go in. Do not pass this place by if you're on your way to some of the beaches around. We almost made that mistake!

Best of the best pizza on the big island. Vegetarian friendly. They do have a separate section on the menu for vegetarian pizzas!! We absolutely enjoyed the food. Reece is an exceptional server!!

Try the pepperoni rolls! They're addictive, maybe even better than the pizza (which was creative and delicious). We had great service on the lovely patio with a lilikoi watermelon lemonade. Yum! Sassy signs inside and a few friendly kitties hanging around add to the ambience.

Excellent pizza place! We ordered an ABC Pizza, a Make Your Own pizza (red sauce, sausage, black olives, with a pesto drizzle), Garlic Butter Breadsticks, and Ube Haupia Cannoli. Our service was great. The pizza dough/breadsticks were top notch. Clearly made from scratch dough. The ABC Pizza was my favorite, with an excellent creamy white sauce. The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the other toppings. I would order this again in a heartbeat. The red sauce pizza was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a nice herded flavor to it. The last item, the Cannoli, was fabulous. Crispy cannoli shell and a creamy sweet ube filling was a nice blending of Hawaiian and Italian. This is another item I wouldn't miss. Overall, it was an excellent pizza place that I would go to over and over.

What a gem! Decided to check out Black Rock due to proximity to the hotel and good reviews… it did not disappoint! Easy drive to the location. Parking was easily accessible. Entered the front and was shown right to a table outside to check out the sunset. Our server was outstanding! Really helped with expediting our kid’s dinner. Friendly and thorough service all the way around! The pepperoni rolls were worth it! We opted for the Not So Hawaiian pizza, with added some red and banana peppers to the traditional namesake. Pretty good crust and toppings were very fresh. I would definitely frequent this restaurant if I lived in the area. 5 stars!

All I can say is wow!!! The pizza was amazing. Definitely worth all the hype. You need to come check this place out. Such unique pizzas, we got the kills uea, Kau ono and the kanak attack and they were both excellent. Definitely try it out you won’t regret it. Service was ok, it took almost 10 minutes to greet us and we were 1 of 3 tables there. Server was sitting with someone that worked there in front of us but never said anything. The pizza was good enough that we were ok. Pizza weren’t cheap but what really is in Hawaii

Parking can be tight but if you don't go during peak hours it should be okay. It's a small lot. They've got some great signs lining the walls that I wish I could have at home myself too! You can mix pizzas if you order a medium or up, so I tried the kanak attack and local boy with BBQ glaze on top. It was loaded! Was able to eat most of it but took a few slices home for lunch the next day. The service was friendly, and the pizza was ono! Very pleasantly surprised to have this place in my neighborhood.

My review is strictly on the food. We called in an order for pick up on our way home from Volcano park. They close at 9, and we were going to be getting there right around 8:45. I called in our order. It was super loud in the background and the lady on the phone had a hard time hearing me. Our food was ready upon arriving. We ordered the pepperoni rolls which were absolutely delicious. After eating our meal we wish we had just done two orders off those. We also ordered a small pie. After reading previous reviews I had a different expectation in my mind. Our pizza had minimal sauce on it, but a good portion of meats and veggies. I am not sure if I would dine in here. Between the phone call and pick up it seems overly loud, the kind of place you couldn't really have a conversation with the people at your table.

Service was very good, pizza was very good, drinks a bit weak. We had a Mexican, and a Combo. Yea the pizza is pretty good. I liked this place and would go back for sure.

Everything is fantastic! Service is great! Ambiance is wonderful. But that pizza is INCREDIBLE!!! So many unique styles, combos and toppings the hardest part is choosing. There is even a breakfast pizza with sausage gravy. So ono!

This is a gem of a pizza place in Captain Cook! We stopped by for lunch and shared a Greek salad and a small pizza. The salad was very fresh and quite big for a small. Plenty for the two of us. The menu said all their dressings and sauces are from scratch. The garlic herb vinaigrette was delicious! Our pizza was the Kau Onu: Garlic & Olive Oil, Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, Italian Sausage, Goat Cheese. The crust was nice, the flavors went together well. It's true, we were in the middle of a 30 mile bike ride and pretty hungry, but this was definitely a great place regardless (so hungry I forgot to take pictures until half the pizza was eaten! Service was excellent, we sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed a little breeze.

Buy pizza from here for years. BBQ Chicken pizza was really disappointing. Little or No BBQ sauce on pie, maybe teaspoon. Little or no cheese. Chucks of bacon not disbursed. Chicken meat dry & tasteless. Black burn bubbles all over face of poor tasting dough. Price keeps going up quality & workmanship going down. Manager not supervising prep he lurks at cash register instead of checking quality of food.

Go to this location! It's the best! Everything is fresh. The best pizza and salad we had on the island. Service was quick and friendly. The views and location are so much better than the Kona location. A chill vibe with top notch service and food.

Amazing pizza! We were hungry and were just driving by and decided to stop. Just awesome customer service and the pizza was the best we have ever had! The server was so helpful and gave great suggestions and really helped us figure out what to get. The menu is extensive. Wish we had one of these where we are from! If you are in the Kona area, I highly recommend intentionally dining here.

Touted as one of the best pizza spots on The Big Island... And it lives up to the hype! There are two locations on the island and a third location over on Maui. The Black Rock Pizza in Captain Cook was just down from where the rental was that we were staying in. We called in a takeout order on our way back from Punalu'u Beach... For those who may not know Punalu'u Beach is a beautiful black sand beach frequented by Hawaiian green sea turtles... We grabbed a couple the choice is yours (aka build your own) pies, an order of garlic butter breadsticks and the signature order of Big Island Balls (bread balls stuffed with Jalapeno, bacon, and cheese). The order was ready on our arrival. Service was great. Everything was hot and fresh. The parking at the Captain Cook location is limited in front of the shop, but there's additional parking across the road. The pizza was good. Not going to lie...I have my true favorites back home...but it's always a great thing to try some local fare. I would have loved to have tried a couple of their Local Kine Pizzas, but alas... I had bland travel partners. smh It is what it is. It probably doesn't need to be said...but for me the star of the show was the Balls! Lol These are a must try! So good! Some would consider it pricey, but that's the cost of eating out on the island... You probably spend $600ish+ on economy round trip tickets to get here. Spend a little more...eat out...eat local...and enjoy your vacation. If you're in the Captain Cook area check out Black Rock Pizza! https://blackrock.pizza/captain-cook

Super short drive from the Captain Cook trailhead. Honestly, you'll have a much better time if you just skip the hike and come straight here. Food is delicious, service is friendly, and the vibe is chill. Fully recommend.

The best pizza, delicious cocktails, amazing restaurant crew, and beautiful sunset views from the lanai. We love Black Rock Pizza so much! We really wish they would open one on O'ahu! It's our first stop for dinner when we are on Big Island. Can't wait till we are back for more!

We were here a few weeks ago for dinner, just because it was down the street from where we were staying and they were open when the place we were going to go to, closed early that day. When we got there, they were clearly *super* busy, so I was worried it'd take forever to get a table and/or food, but they had a few seats at the bar (my favorite place to sit, anyway, generally), and yes, everyone was clearly running around like crazy, but they all seemed friendly (when you could snag one from the dozen other things they were doing). Anyway, we still got our order taken, our drinks, and our pizza, all pretty fast. The pizza we got was $34 for a large, though I will say, a large was 4 meals worth (we both also had lunch the next day, so not actually a bad value). We did like that they had some Hawaiian flavored ones - we went for the one that was basically a combo, but with kalua pork. The pizza, I'd say, was good, but not exceptional. I enjoyed it all well enough, but I feel like there's a reason Hawaii is famous for its poke and Japanese and obviously its Hawaiian food, not its pizza so much. Plenty of toppings (though I'm a "more is more" kind of person with pizza toppings), and all the toppings were pretty good (I'm still sad my wife didn't want to try the moco loco pizza), overall, pretty good pizza, might be the best pizza on the island, but definitely not quite as good as any of several of the best pizzas in Long Beach, let alone in NYC. I am glad we dined in, so I could have a cider with it (well, half of it; funny enough the other half we ate at a winery the next day for lunch, as just as good cold flatbread). I was happy they had a cider on draft from Ola - Ola makes great ciders, just wish they'd distribute them to California! (I did go there and bring a bunch back, also, obviously.) Great to support local cider, but also just good to have a great cider to go with pizza! (The cider was $7 - totally reasonable.) My wife had their $3 (nonalcoholic) house-made strawberry lemonade - I tried some of it, it was also very good. Finally, the reason they were originally on my road-map, for dessert - my original itinerary notes for myself put them down with the note, "ube cannoli? Possibly just go there for dessert". They do still have an ube/chocolate cannoli for $7, we shared one obviously (ube is having a huge moment in Long Beach right now too, but I think Hawaii got there first). Delicious, obviously, though funny enough, coming from someone who always wants more chocolate... the ube was a little bit lost under all the chocolate. Still, great.

I would have to say it's some of the best pizza I have had. The service was pleasant and we were lucky to be seated inside. A downpour happened which is not unusual between 2pm and 4pm. Everyone was satisfied with the portions and the sauce is flavorful. Drinks were also very good.

Truly feels like you're part of the family here. Sweet employees that make it feel like home and excellent pizza! Perfect spot for a casual bite and really great vibes

The BBQ chicken pizza was soooo delicious! Portions are plentiful, price point is great, and ranch is homemade. We loved the crispy crust and that it was loaded down with toppings. Our order came out extremely quickly and everyone was very friendly. There is lots of seating although we took ours to go.

Stop reading the reviews and go get pizza here! Black Rock Pizza is one of the best pizzas that I have ever had. They hand-toss their dough, and it is divine. The dough is super fluffy but still had a little bit of crunch to it- the perfect medley for pizza. We liked that they had so many signature pizzas, but we opted for a build-your-own. We got a large pizza with garlic, olive oil, olives, pepperoni, eggplant, and a pesto drizzle. It was divine! If you're in Kona and looking for a place to eat, this is the place to go. BEAUTIFUL sunsets from the back porch, too. The service was friendly, just like everywhere else on the island. The only drawback is parking can be limited, so make sure to keep that in mind when you go. Pro tip: Go to Costco and purchase their gift card there and use it while on your trip! You'll want to go back at least once.

Driving through the Captain Cook area on our vacation Black Rock Pizza just always stuck out to me. And to my surprise we ended up getting an airbnb right up the street and Black Rock Pizza had great reviews so dinner was a no brainer. Now I'm a sucker for pizza- thin crust, thick crust, stuffed crust I love it all. Our party of 5 came in on a Saturday evening around 6 and we got seated immediately. The host was very nice and our server was great. The ambiance here totally gave off dive bar vibes with what seemed to be many regulars frequenting this establishment. They had a great drink menu, the signs they hung throughout the building were funny and they had the music blaring with some good song choices. Now for the pizza we all ordered the 8" personal pizzas. I went with the local boy pizza which was fire! Everybody else just ended up going with picking out their own toppings and making their pizza personalized to them. The wait time after ordering was not bad at all and once the food came out it was delicious- so much so that the kids wanted to order another pizza to go. If you're into good pizza with the chill vibes to match than Black Rock Pizza is a must when in this area- it's pizza done right.

So happy we finally made this stop! Loved it! Great pizza with so many options. We also loved our salad! They are so nice and friendly - best service and yummy pizza- the crust was perfection.

Asked a few locals for a good pizza spot and this was the recommendation. It didn't disappoint! The appetizers and pizza were delish. We ended up getting 4 different types and all were great. Service was on point as well. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to The Big Island.

This place is very good, clean and friendly staff. If you are planning to eat there, get there early because as the seating is limited but the staff will accommodate a big party as a small party. I saw a party of 8 so they are very flexible. We sat down and the waiter came over and took order, ensured that our drinks were always full and with a smile on his face. The pizza was very good, we order the greek pizza but split it with cheese. That way we could have our cake and eat it too. We ordered the small and we still had 3 slices left over for 2 adults. Until we meet again Aloha and wishing them lots of Ohana.

This is our go to any time we are this direction on the Big Island. Pizza is FANTASTIC and today I got a part margarita part Mai tai cocktail our waiter came up with that is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. Ambiance is also super fun and consistently good. Cannot recommend them enough. Hoi Boi pizza and pepperoni pizza are awesome but everyone we have been here with has loved their pizza including cauliflower crust.

Love this place--great local flair, nice views, wonderful service, good food! Loved the Li Hing Mui-garita. We had the beet salad, and Da Hreek Pizza, and it was so good we ordered a pizza to go! Thos one with the kiawe Mango sauce-yum! We will be back. Best part-- not far from Kailua, Kona, and free parking. (It now costs $30 for two hours parking in Kailua.)

I don't normally choose pizza when I'm traveling. Especially to Hawaii. I usually looking for more local fare and Hawaiian style. However, we just decided it on pizza one night after reading the reviews and this Black Rock pizza is amazing! The most unique and tasty combinations of pizzas and the best quality i e ever seen. The customer service was outstanding. The owner himself was cleaning tables and checking on people and making sure everything was running perfect. You will not be disappointed with Black Rock.

Above all, we were amazed by the kindness of the staff. I can't even begin to list all the thoughtful gestures they made to accommodate us as foreigners. It was truly a wonderful experience. Oh, and the food? Needless to say, it was absolutely top-notch.

This is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Great service. Amazing atmosphere. The big island balls alone are worth it. I'm excited to visit the island again just to come here once more

I ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza and was not disappointed! My family ordered others as well and loved the pizza too. Reese was the bartender that night and was super friendly as well as super attentive. They were all lively, and overall it was a fun experience

Best pizza ever! Great customer service. Highly recommended! Worth the drive! Our kiddos were happy with their white sauce and cheese pizza

It's not often that you leave a restaurant with everyone happy with the food that they ate. But that's exactly what happened tonight at BRP. We spotted this pizzeria on our way to the black sand beach and I was committed to stopping here on our way back. We ordered the Hoi-Boi, vegetarian, and pepperoni. All three were excellent. The Hoi-Boi is uniquely Hawaiian and you'll never find it anywhere else. The vegetarian and pepperoni were both very fresh and the red sauce was on point. Much better than just about any other pizza shop. It was worth the wait and I'm sure we will eat here again.

Duuuude, so good I ordered back to back on two different days. We had the "Not so Hawaiian" and the "classic meat" one... absolute perfection. The crust was well cooked, the toppings stayed on the pizza and the cheese to toppings ratio was just right. The view from this location is beautiful, service was excellent and their house Mai tai one of the best I have ever had. They have different locations and they all seem to have same standards, highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious pizza. The dough is high quality. The flavors and the sauces. Yummy. Nice cozy ambiance. Good friendly service.

This was a GREAT find. We were hungry and caffeinated from a coffee farm tour; we rolled in here, ready to eat. We were welcomed in and quickly seated at lunchtime. The staff were friendly and personable. We ordered the Hoi Boi Pizza - which was DELICOUS. We ordered a beer and a margarita. The margarita came in a large glass, which surprised us and led to some fun laughs. The vibe here is laid back and friendly. We looking forward to coming back next time!

One of the best pizzas I have had, in Hawaii and michigan. Ate there 3 times and great every time. The sauce is very tasty and the crust is excellent. I also had the garlic breadsticks and they were unbelievable too when I come back to Hawaii I will eat there again.

Yes yes yes! I concur with those who say it's probably the best pizza joint on the island! I say probably because I haven't eaten at every pizza joint but honestly now that I've enjoyed Black Rock's pizza, I won't explore to other places! If I'm hankering for pizza I'll come back. We ordered a large half spicy pepperoni and the other half spicy BRP Meat lover and it was Soo good!! The spicy pepperoni was yummy but the BRP meat lover was the best!! Reasonable prices and delicious pizza, it will be our go to pizza joint here! In addition, the service Kimberly provide was exceptional! She was attentive, accommodating and pleasant! TRIPLE G's: Great pizza, great views (you can see the ocean views in the back), and great service! It's #1 pizza join on the island in our book!

Pepperoni Rolls are a must! Lots of cheesy goodness. Pizza was good too. Service was outstanding!

Ah-mazing is all we can say! Pepperoni rolls are a must have and the pizza and calzone were so delicious. The service here is also amazing and the view of the ocean on a clear day is spectacular!

I always saw this place driving in Captain Cook and wanted to try it out. We ordered online for pickup and took about half an hour for the food to be ready. The lady at the front was okay- I'm not sure about their service but I think I will order for takeout in the future as well. We got personal 8" Kona Waui, 8" Pesto Chicken, Pepperoni Rolls, and Garlic Butter Breadsticks. Food was amazing! Pizza was so flavorful, and I love that there are so many special signature pizzas. I also recommend their pepperoni rolls!

Loco moco Pizza. 'Nuff said, do it, eat it. Their pizzas are good, which is hard to do in HI due to high humidity. But my fave is loco moco, fried egg on pizza is genius!

Seems to be the best pizza in Big Island and I'm not surprised. There are a lot of funny quotes and images inside the restaurant as you enter. Menu has a grand assortment of different pizzas you can select. I selected the Hoi Boi and it was solid. Sweet yet also savory really hit the spot. I also went with what was popular on yelp which was the pepperoni rolls. Really solid kind of like an elevated bagel bites. Also had the Big Island Balls which weren't exactly my favorite but not too bad. Was kind of like a small chicken bake from Costco. Parking isn't so great here since there only a few spots in front. Wait might be awhile at some hours since this place is pretty popular.

I'd like to recognize Rhys at Black Rock Pizza for his fantastic service, knowledge of the menu and friendly disposition. The pizza is outstanding, best I've ever had with so many choices we had to come back 3 times while visiting Kona, Hi. I highly recommend you try it too! Amy McInroy

Best pizza on the island, hands down. There is no "hit or miss" at this place, always spot on. We order the Classic pizza, but the salads are great too.

Amazing!!! This place is a total gem! Planned to have leftovers for dinner and we ate it all in one sitting. Place was busy but food still came out quickly. Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. View of the ocean was the icing on the cake. Definite

So my wife, daughter and I just got back from a week on the big island and one thing for sure is that place is expensive, except at Black Rock Pizza! We ate there at the one about 5 miles south of Kona, right on 11. What a treat!! The bread sticks are to die for, some of the best we have ever had! We all had pizza, three different flavors, all were excellent without exception. I played golf the next day with a resident, he said they have the best pizza on the island, and prices are very reasonable here, for food and drink! Also we sat on the patio and the sunset was a terrific bonus. BTW, I do NOT write many reviews, so going through this process says something!! Highly recommend, great service too!!!

You'll LOVE this place. We were seated immediately, brought waters, and taken care of by the nicest folks. We ordered a veggie head with vegan cheese and my mom ordered a more traditional option with meat and pineapple. Everyone loved their food. It was hands down the best pizza I've had in years, maybe ever. Will definitely be hitting this place again the next time I'm on the big island!

Best pizza on any island in Hawaii! The service is out of this world! Right when I walked in the bartender asked me if I wanted a beer and brought it to my table. The best service. Whatever they put in the crust was amazing.

This place is amazing. Was recommended to us from a local in the area and it did not disappoint. Great beers on tap, tvs inside with a great atmosphere if you want to watch football and an amazing patio with a nice view outside. But the best part was the food. The koi boi was the first pizza on the list (amazing) so we ordered it to see what it was all about. Unreal. The next one we got was a veggie white sauce pizza....also unreal. Can't wait to eat my left overs. Definitely will be back next year on our way south!!!!

To be honest their "signature" local pizza is full of grease and BBQ sauce to a point it's pretty hard to finish. Very nice staff and ambience. Also I think their "fresh" lemonade is just Minute Maid as it tastes the exact same to In and Out lemonade.

I don't eat pineapple on pizza. I am from New York. But I ate pineapple on their pizza and I absolutely LOVED IT!!!! Their pepperoni rolls are to die for. SO MUCH CHEESE and just the right balance of dough and pepperoni. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar with a couple of amazing locals. Mai Tai is another staple here. Every little bit of this place is perfect. I need to get back here one day. Please stop by and pay them a visit. You will not be disappointed.

Leave it to me to crave pizza while on the island. I had the Hoi Boi Pizza. Which was pretty good overall. I could of done without the garlic aioli tho. It threw me off. But this is a fusion pizza place. Also had the Blue drink. I wish I could remember the name. But definitely order that That staff were super nice and prompt. We didn't have a long wait at all. And like I said happy employees make a place that much better.

Some of the staff was extremely rude. They were also super busy and took a very long time to get our order made for takeout. It tastes about the same as the Black rock in town, which I do give lots of stars. They had a nice deck out the front but we weren't allowed to sit on it to wait.
