    I should say this place becomes my husband’s number 1 place to go in Hawaii. He has picky taste in pizza. His ratings (considering price and flavors) in Big island and Oahu are as follows and I think it explains everything. 1. Antics pizza (Big island) - We can pay more with this. 2. Ramen Bario (Oahu) - Fair price and taste. 3. Wolfgang steakhouse (Oahu) - Good service and great steak but expensive.

    We ordered over the phone and they had it ready in 15 minutes. They let us RESERVE a spot and we showed up and had a seat with our pizza waiting. It is probably the best pizza I have tried at ANY pizza place I have visited…including big city pizzerias. I will never go anywhere but here again. Soooooo Amazing!!! They have huge video game stations and groovy skater type staff. Overall a very ORIGINAL and one-of-kind vibe. A must do when visiting Hilo.

    Great spot for some pizza and also some ramen noodles. The Sega and Nintendo games were awesome and a great way to pass the time while you wait for your food. Brought back memories! Interesting concept and a unique addition to Hilo. Great sport for a date night or family. Phenomenal service as well and super friendly!

    Overall, a very good experience bringing back old school video games and pizza together. The space of the restaurant itself is it bit small (we got lucky getting a booth, by the time we left their was a few parties waiting outside)... I feel like the service and food could've been better but it was busy at the time (Pizza was a bit undercooked, waitress messed up on our orders, they forgot to bring us utensils for our pasta etc...) Again though, staff was very nice and the atmosphere brought back memories... I would recommend stopping by if your in the Hilo area (especially if you have kids)...

    This was such a cool little gem thay we found in Hilo! If we had a place like this growing up, we would've been there everyday after school! Videogames, pizza and Mtn Dew! What a cool idea! Not to mention the pizza is absolutely phenomenal! The people working were awesome too!

    Pretty good pizza in Hilo. Salad was pretty good, garlic rolls where ok. We had the kalua pork BBQ pizza and the all meat with breaded chicken. Both were pretty good. Pesto ranch was also very good. Would come back with kids as this is a gamer joint. Drinks are warm water or bottles from the display.

    This place was AMAZING! Hearing the owners story makes it even better. The food was great, the staff had amazing vibes, and you can play retro video games while waiting for your food!

    My first time here, I had to pick the vegetarian pizza. It was good, I will be back. If anything all the games for the kids are with the draw is for this location. All right and then next

    Pizza and garlic knots were great. Kids loved playing video games while playing waiting for food. Tons of classic games like NES and Genesis to play. It’s BYOB for adult drinks.

    Soon as you come in, you are hit with good music and hello from the owners. Gaming stations on one side, pokemon case, action figures up top . The GLUTEN FREE pizza was excellent & the crust was so good. I will be coming back.

    I love this place. The food is great and definitely has a unique taste in my opinion. The staff is always happy and very helpful it genuinely seems like a great place to want to work at. The had lots of games available from arcade machines to ps5s and plenty of games to play on each. The menu was really fun and had lots of references to video games and other jokes I recommend reading them all!!! I cannot rate this place high enough.

    Dream for a 90’s kid! Cassette playing in the boom box, throwback video games at every table, the garlic knots were to die for, and the pizza was some of the best we have ever had. We ordered the Poke Ball pizza and were fighting over the last slice while we played Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo. Don’t let the exterior of this spot throw you off, it is a dreamland inside.

    Okay, this place was such a cool area! We found this place as we were driving around trying to find our toddler food (picky eater). We were glad we decided to stop for pizza. The atmosphere was great, and their service was amazing. They have games (free of charge) in every area. I liked that they have toys that kids can use and have handsanitizer on the tables. They also have video games on every table against the wall, which I thought was unique. If we lived around here, this would definitely be our spot. My husband felt like a kid all over again.

    Super rad I place! If you like gaming , or not, this is the place for you. Really good pizza and great service. The ramen wasn’t half bad either! Really no complaints. When I come back to the big island I definitely plan on coming back here.

    What a fun and nice place to have food. Loved the concept of games and food. The ppl were very friendly. And the food very nice. I got a bit of nostalgia looking at all those SEGAs :) Go here. It’s awesome. Both Ramen and pizza are great.

    Pizza was great, service was friendly, decor is a dream for a 90s kid! Heads up: you can't get half and half on speciality pizzas. If you do half and half, the sauce has to be the same on both sides. Sometimes they run out of the white sauce 😔

    The poke ball was awesome, a nice blend of cheese and pepperoni, with a side of garlic knots and a guava soda. Place is great, had my son's birthday there on New years Eve and they really took care of us and helped make it a special night. So, not only was there awesome food but a super Nintendo for me to game on while my son played fortnite at one of the game stations. We have a new favorite pizza place. 10 stars 🤩

    We were heading back to Hilo from Mauna Kea after freezing our butts at the sunset and the hot, delicious pizza was just the right remedy! Although we arrived 20 minutes before closing they let us stay for a bit longer to enjoy the pizzas. Absolutely love the pizza parlour/arcade style - had a blast playing the Simpsons while waiting for my food, and kiddo enjoyed a round of Fortnite on the Xbox.

    Awesome owner! Even though im not that into video games the atmosphere and environment is solid. The owner is very nice and welcoming. And don’t get me started on the food. The pizzas are out of this world. It is so good. They have the right amount of toppings and sauces. They are cooked to perfection with the right crunch and doughy aspect! If I’m ever back in Hawaii, I’m for sure coming back here!

    Pizza and garlic knots were good. Plus you can play video games for free while you wait. Love the retro vibe. Our waitress (can't recall her name but was a young lady with glasses) was super nice.

    Love the atmosphere. Service is perfect. Bring my teenagers and had so much fun. The pizza are delicious. 100/100. I recommend when you pass by Hilo downtown.

    If you are a gamer this place is for you. Pizza was ok. Crust was bland garlic knots had no flavor. Not a must see.
