Giannotto’s Pizza

First time eating from here. Heard this place was really good. We did delivery takeout. Our pizza, pastas and bread were ready pretty quick and delivered to our front door. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, eggplant parmesan, shrimp alfredo, side Italian sausage and cheesy garlic bread. All really good. The servings for the pasta dishes were very generous and we liked the pizza with thin foldable crust and crispy edges. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely love this place. We found it by accident in 2007 on our first visit here. It was so good and we loved the owner and his desire to create a perfect New York style pizza here in Maui. In 2018 we finally were able to come back to Maui and were pleased to find this small business was still here making delicious New York style pizza. And now we are here again in January 2026 and we were so pleased to find Giannotto's pizza was still here and still making delicious pizza. So grateful for small business owners who push through the hard times to follow their dreams. If you are in Maui this is a must stop.

The food is absolutely amazing, the best pizza I have ever had! Dave is the nicest person and makes everything from scratch! Great food & great people! Definitely recommend.

I’ve tried Philly cheesesteaks all over the island until coming here. The search is over! Genuine Amoroso rolls with proper preparation of meat and cheese. Absolutely delicious. Pizza is fantastic as well! Prices are super affordable. And Dave is the real Jersey deal!!

We had lunch there today, and the food was so good. We had pizza, calzones, strawberry cheesecake and cannolis. Every item was better than we could imagine. Dave was so sweet and talked about how he prepares everything. Best pizza I ever had and best cheesecake I have ever had. Highly recommend!

Fantastic pizza! And what a wonderful owner :) We ended up chatting with him for a bit and got to try his hand-made mozzarella sticks and tiramisu. Both were incredible and the best I've ever had. We will def stop here again next time we're on Maui.

Giannotto's Pizza is an owner operated establishment, with an old school vibe.As for the pie ,Fuhgeddaboudit. The crust and cheese were on point . Thanks for the meal . See you next time.

They sell homemade pizza with good amount of topping and enough amount of cheese. the crust is crispy. I love that they sell pizza in slices too so we can try many variations. the casheer is super friendly and laughed so loud that shocked me few times. they also provide delivery.

Got a Meatball Parmesan today with fries. Food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Was treated with hospitality and smiles from the first step in the door. The Bella who rung me up was phenomenal. Thanks again. Mahalo

Everything I ate there was fresh and tasted amazing. I had his pizza and lasagna before, and I just tried his calzone! It's so good, I'm definitely going back. He's closed on Mondays since it's slow, so please support a local business, he's worth it for lunch or dinner. The owner is super nice; he checks on you when he's not busy. It's a small place with just a few tables, but there's seating outside under umbrellas. And it's just as good if you get takeout.

While walking down the street, I stumbled upon this pizza spot and thought...Why not? Let's see what pizza in Hawaii tastes like. And honestly, it did not disappoint, I devoured it within seconds! It was fresh, hot, and seriously delicious. I just did a to-go order, but the quality and flavor were spot on. Definitely worth the stop!

Owner needs an attitude check! If you don't like your job close your shop! Service is degrading! And the pizza has no flavor! Where is the flavor! Also you could at least clean your shop up a bit.

I feel like the best pizza places are little hole in the wall spots. Stopped in here after surviving the Road to Hana with kids. IYKYK Not a lot of seating, but it worked fine for us. Traditional NY style pizza with a thinner crust and huge slices. Pizza was delicious. Their sauce is really good. My son got chicken fettuccine Alfredo which was also tasty. You can just taste that everything is homemade and don't feel weighed down after eating.

For how cheap it is, it's pretty good. The slices were a lot smaller than I expected but that makes sense when they are 2-4$ each. Mozz sticks were also quite good. Lovely people behind the counter/in the kitchen. Will be returning when I crave easy pizza!

We stopped in for a bite before the show this evening. They weren't busy and we were glad to see they were open. Nicole didn't seem too pleased to see me but she took my order and thanked me after I left a tip. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, dining in. Prep time was a little long, but they seem to have take-out and delivery orders in the queue, so it was okay. The sandwich was brought out on a flimsy paper plate with plastic utensils. It looked pretty good. Plenty of marinara sauce and topped with parmesan cheese. The bread was good, too. The chicken was disappointing. It was dry and chewy. Maybe I'll try something else next time.

We wanted something before the show and we'd eaten here before so decided to stop. Has 3- 2 persons tables inside-seems to mostly do take out. ordered the hot chicken parm sandwich $9.95 (had had it in the past & liked it) this time was disappointed. Looked delicous- bread was moist & it had good amount of cheese and marinara sauce but not much chicken & it was very chewy and dry. I know we'll stop here again but I will try a different meal.

We had the best experience! The pizza was fantastic, everything is homemade. The owner was incredibly nice and went above and beyond!

Tucked away in the nondescript Promenade on Main Street in Wailuku is Giannotto's Pizzeria. They've got some pretty tasty pasta (though sometimes their noodles can be a little over cooked). My favorite is the eggplant Parmesan (eggplant isn't complete mush and has a nice breading and taste). There is an option that comes with linguine or a salad--all good and filling options at a good price. I see a lot of people ordering pizza, so it must be good too. I'm a pasta girl, so I've not tried their piazza, but next time perhaps! The restaurant is small but they've got tables inside and outside, with an open kitchen/cashier layout. It's a bit warm inside, so if the weather is nice, sit outside or inside the promenade seating. They take credit cards, make their own desserts too and have some bottled/canned drinks. Downside is parking; you'd be lucky to find street spots.

I found a Great New York Italian Restaurant here in Maui. A hidden gem. It's my 4 visit in 2 weeks. At the same location for 28 years. Everything is made fresh daily. The owners make you feel like your in New York. I'm 100% Italian and everything on the menu is fresh and authentic. My goal is to try everything on the menu! New York Cheesecake and Cannoli is the Bomb!

Loved the Philly cheesesteak, not a fan of the pizza and slight arrogance from owner. And would have liked better costumer service/ professionalism when we placed our order over the phone.

We came here for a late lunch and there was hardly anyone there. The location is outside of a food court, but you can use the food court's tables (and bathrooms). They only have a few themselves inside of the actual restaurant. Ordering at the counter was easy and their menu had something for everyone in our group. The food came out and was delivered to our table pretty quickly. We got the meat pizza and enjoyed it very much. It came with pepperoni, sausage, ham, and meatballs. The sausage was good and the crust not too thick, but not thin either. We also got the linguine with alfredo sauce, which was just average. The sauce was fairly thick, but I felt could have hd more of a kick. The staff were super friendly and parking was easy on the street, even though they do have a small lot that was full when we were there.

The service was great! Really nice people, I loved how they home make everything! The marinara sauce was amazing, and they do new special deserts every week

Mahalo for the awesome food. Giannotto's helped with 3 days of back to back lunches during our fire education sessions. Lunch was always delivered right on time, different selection of pizzas and pasta plus salad every day. We are so grateful for the food and service! Thank you and this will be our annual plan for all training sessions. Aloha, Pam

Aloha, wanted to support local business for my daughters birthday.. I called after hours to leave a voicemail and the owner answered. One of the most genuine hard working humans you will meet.. he took care of us and everyone at our party loved the pizzas.. mahalo for still being here after all these yeats!!

After about four visits the quality of the pizza is unlikely to improve so I'm done with this place. Soggy, mushy dough with uninspired toppings. The pizza by the slice does not appear to be fresh and the oil slick on the surface is pretty noticeable. Prices are outrageous even for Hawaii. And the ambiance is actually a bit creepy inside. Hard pass.

One of the best pizza spaghetti cheesecakes place in island,and the best delivery service

Wow this place is awesome.They have two tables inside and good seating outside.We landed and was hungry went straight there two siblings who is running this family owned restaurant is awesome friendly.Each toppings are in the higher side 3.75$,which I felt is a bit expensive.Again for a large pizza I ended up paying 40$ and more over it was thin crust.I am giving 4 star for two reason one the onions Weren't fresh looked like stored for long and then used and secondly the toppings are expensive.

From a fellow Jersey boy all I can say is that's it's the best Italian food in the island, bar none. Meatball Parmesan was out of this world! Definitely coming back!

I got two slices of chicken pesto/mushroom pizza to go. It was really good despite being premade and then warmed up. The atmosphere is old school - dark and, dare I say grungy. I suppose due to covid I felt a bit rushed to order and exit the building. So I stepped out to snap a few pics, being an avid Yelper. She brought out my slices just as the hubby/car was getting the bum's rush out of the vacant lot next door. Don't even think of parking there for 5 minutes! Overall: The food was worthy but the experience was not.

I'm sad to be leaving this review. They were our favorite pizza on island until about 6 months to a year ago. Something has changed. At first, we thought it was just a one off, but the next time, it was bad again (delivery both times). We tried once more, wanting the quality to return. We ate at the store this time; the results were the same. We sadly told the front staff (not the owner) and left. The crust was soggy, either from being undercooked or because of the sauce. The sauce has changed, it was flavorless and watery. The cheese is also now flavorless. The entire thing was wet, flavorless, and almost inedible. I actually added salt to my slice, that's how flavorless it was. My husband didn't eat his. We don't get toppings, so I can't review those.

My friend and I were highly disappointed when we picked up our slices of pizza, it looked like left over pizza from a week ago. We arrived around 2pm so not sure why the pizza looked so bad and there is limited parking. Maybe they had a bad day but this pizza was NOT the best or even close to being ok, I wouldn't recommend. We also got wings that were just ok, nothing spectacular about them at all.

Me and my daughter saw a pizza place that caught our eyes and I'm glad it did! We are so satisfied and full! The cheese sticks were amazing!!!! Service was great!!! Ambiance was family friendly! Sat and ate while my daughter colored! Kept asking if everything was okay and that was great! Would 10/10 recommend to family and friends!

Best pizza on Maui! Also, the sweets are out of this world. Very authentic, fresh, and love supporting this terrific local family business.

Have tried multiple pizza places on Maui and Giannotto's is hands down the best. Whether you like meat, veggie pizza, or something a little different, they are all delicious. Great crust and sauces.

Best New York style pizza!!!! I also ordered cheesesteaks and it was so good. It's like me going back to East Coast. Will only buy my pizza from this place. Owner is very pleasant!!!! Highly recommend them!

The food here is top notch! Best pizza on island by far. The cheesesteak is delicious as well

After having a not-so-great pasta dish a decade ago, I never went back. Recently, a friend posted a mouth-watering pic on IG which is what brought me back. The influence of social media! ATMOSPHERE: I don't remember the inside being so "rustic", lol. As you enter, all you see is the kitchen. I guess that could be a good thing as it allows you to see the area your food is prepared in and how clean it is. There were a few high tops inside and outdoor seating that is shared with other eateries. Parking is either on-street, in a small lot fronting the building's east side, or the municipal lot behind the building accessible via Market Street. MENU: Salads, cold & hot subs, pasta, pizza, calzone, desserts. FOOD: Philly Cheese Steak - $7.50 I added grilled onions, mushrooms and green peppers for an additional 75-cents each. This was the social media picture that got me back in to Giannotto's. After having a very good version at Pat's in Philadelphia, I was excited to try this recipe. Dare I say I liked it more than "The King of Steaks'" version?! While not as gargantuan as Pat's, Giannotto's sub was very tasty and juicy, with real cheese (not liquid) and the softest bread I've consumed yet. Absolutely, positively, highly recommended! Deluxe Pizza - $26.95 All pies are thin crust and 16" in diameter. The Deluxe included pepperoni, sausage, olives, tomato, onion, green peppers which we nixed (not my choice) and added mushrooms for $2.50. This was a good pizza with a savory sauce and fresh toppings but not outstanding due to the thin crust which has no "wow-factor", no matter who makes it. IMO, a thick, chewy crust just makes the pizza. SERVICE: I called in my order and it was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. Two friendly male workers assisted me. I even got a "Thank you for ordering" from one of them. It's nice to receive appreciation especially nowadays when many workers could give a hoot. OVERALL: That Philly Cheese Steak simply warrants two additional review stars. It was that good.

Was craving their chicken pesto pizza and decided to mix it up for dinner. We ordered a half chicken pesto/half deluxe pizza, shrimp Alfredo pasta, fried mozzarella and deluxe calzone with marinara sauce. These two topping combinations are faves in my house so it's like getting the best of both worlds. The meat calzone and fried mozzarella are always a staple with our meal. Crispy, cheesy and good breading. The shrimp Alfredo could've used more seasoning. Next time I'll just stick with their spaghetti and meatballs. Thanks for a delicious dinner.

We decided to try Giannotto's because of the great Yelp reviews. We ordered a half chicken pesto and half deluxe large pizza. I can't say no to NY cheesecake especially after reading a recommendation by a fellow Yelper. I believe the guy who took our order was the owner. He was no-nonsense with a slight Boston accent; he asked how we liked our crust. Pizza: Didn't think the 2 of us can finish a large pizza. Wrong! We wolfed it. The thin crust was perfectly crispy; the toppings fresh and delicious. NY cheesecake: It was dense but definitely needed more sugar. I felt like I was eating plain cream cheese. I would not recommend it. There was limited seating. We sat at a table outside but it was next to the main road. Next time we will order the pizza to go and take it to a beach instead. This was our first meal in Maui and a good start to our vacation in paradise.

Since I was staying in Wailuku for a few days, I ventured out to explore the area. This was right before Covid. I noticed a small pizza shop, and it was right around dinner time. I decided to check it out. It's hard to find pizza that is equivalent to the ones I've eaten growing up. For me it's the NY slice. Most businesses on the islands sell pizza by the pie, so it's nice to know at Giannotto I'll have a choice through an individual slice. I believe it was the owners daughter that helped serve me. It made me feel a little at home once I heard her talking to one of the employees. Sometimes you can distinguish the Brooklyn, Staten Island, ny, and philly accent. Her accent, attitude, and demeanor, I would've thought Philly, because my previous boss was the exact same way lol. But it turns out it was New Jersey. I ordered a pepperoni, veggie, and mushroom slice. They seemed to be slightly smaller than I'm used to for individual slices. Pictures make them larger than what it seems. I believe they cure and make their own pepperoni. The texture and flavors were great. I was able to do my fold and taste the crispy thin crust. Sauce was balanced with a little tang and mozzarella was the right amount. The veggie slice was my least favorite, but the mushroom garlic was the winner! I would definitely come back and eat their pizza again. Support local!! They are doing takeout during Covid!! From what I hear lasagna is a big seller!!!

Excellent food and service and the ambience is great. All the wait staff was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly.

Based on reviews we thought it would be a treat, but buyer beware! I can only assume the folks that left reviews weren't pizza people. Would not pass the one-bite test that's for sure! The place is run down and will entice you with all of the family pictures from Jersey, but the pizza was awful. The dough was floppy, undercooked and the mix/ingredients had to be wrong because the pizza was no more than 1/8 inch thick, including the crust. Im disappointed I didn't take a picture to show how god awful the pizza looked and mediocre it tasted. Meatballs were $6, you get 3 and each one is the size of a nickel so don't plan on feeding a child.

Compared to other towns like Kihei or Lahaina, Wailuku is overlooked when it comes to the food scene. Giannotto's Pizzaria is a hidden gem. My girlfriends crazy about their chicken fettuccini Alfredo. I like to get their Deluxe Calzones. I'm still exploring their menu but... I gotta say, their zeppoli is phenomenal. It's this deep fried dough ball topped with powdered sugar and I can't get enough of it. Seeing how fast I finished the whole bag of zeppoli the cashier gave me another one on the house. With the kind of joy I had, I wouldn't call it 5/5 customer service. I just simply had faith in humanity that day. Been coming back since.

Just recently, Giannotto's began offering the island's online ordering and delivery services. This is a very welcome improvement.

Great portion & delicious pizza! Cool plaza where you can eat your slice or the pizza is perfect to go for a night in. Friendly service

Perfection! I'm on one of these white pizza benders and just cannot get enough! Giannotto's white pizza was perfection: thin, supple, substantial artisian crust; NOT burnt; quality cheese; and most importantly: PIPING HOT! For the price, value, service and personality, Giannotto's is a must eat in Wailuku town! Also serving pasta, salads, calzone, Philly cheese steaks and MORE! Please support this family-owned local business. Mahalo

Best pizza on Maui, hands down. I have been to several pizza places around Maui, and this one has been the best so far. I have been back several times and have always been super pleased with the food and service. It's worth the drive if you are not in Wailuku.

Literally have been searching for a Philly cheesesteak for six months and this place exceeded my expectations! The staff was super friendly, and the place had that 'east coast' charm. Now, I need to go back and try the pizza!

this pizza place changed my life ! its a true pizzeria like back in the day Jersey Philly or the bronx! the owner is so nice and always talks story ! the food was amazing I was so happy to find an old school eggplant parm sandwich and the bread is the same as pats and Gino's so defiantly try the subs ! The pizza was delicious as well ! this has changed my work lunch and I will be a regular customer. Btw this type of food is RARE on Maui so enjoy !

Found this little gem not too far from my place and met the owner David. You can tell that he likes to for connections with his customers and really cares for what he does. He makes basically everything from scratch, including the tiramisu which I unfortunately have yet to try! But it's a great place to get a filling slice of pizza, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. My husband had the hot sub and the calzone and really enjoyed both. It's not the absolute best pizza I've ever had (I've had a lot of pizza, it's my favourite food), but for what I can get in Maui, and for it being the first locally-owned pizza place I've tried since moving here, it's great. I went here twice last week, and I can tell you that it's definitely going to be a regular spot for my husband and I! They also deliver for free for orders over $20!

Try the cheesecake. It's light and not too sweet and the slices are really generous. They had New York style, ube with Oreo crust, and seasonal pumpkin spice that was freshly made. The Italian grinder was also good on nicely toasted bread. While there isn't much parking or seating (more seating in the food court next door though), this is a great lunch spot with friendly service, reasonable prices, and tasty food.

A pretty good pizza that was ready very quickly! We got the white pizza and veggie pizza, split on the same pizza. We loved both! The host was very knowledgeable and helped to make sure all of our needs were met. Family friendly restaurant that I would go to again!

Delicious pizza We got the supreme and it was really good. Lord of toppings and the sauce was just right. Reasonable prices and ready quickly.

First time I have been back to this pizzeria in a while. Overall it's a good pie just not as good as I remembered. Toppings were still great quality but the crust was thinner than I expected and more crunchy. Overall value was low due to the cost being on the higher side and the pizza not being quite as good. I'll probably still try again in the future to see if it was just an off day.

Super yummy inexpensive food! Close to home/central to the island. Every time I go & have the pleasure of bumping into the owner, I feel like I'm in a Nyc bodega -- that's a great thing! Been eating here since bebe days I recommend the philly or the eggplant parm if ur craving a sandwich!

Nice folks and pizza by the slice. Ambiance isn't the reason to have a quick bite here, but come for the service and experience.

Favorite of our order: The White pizza add chicken! Really wanted to like this more but a lot of the flavors were lacking. Just kind of blah. The shrimp fettuccini had only a small amount of shrimp and didn't have much flavor. As much as the food wasn't our favorite we've had we will probably be back to try again! The crew working was super sweet.
