Not very good pizza. Crust was prepared well but the sauce was very bland.

Great place for good Italian food near Kapa'a. My family has been coming here and having food delivered (when it was delivered) for about 15 years and we have alwats had good food and good service.

Fabulous!Try the Stromboli and the Peroni! Both staff and patrons are wonderful and the food is super tasty. Well priced, HUGE portions and a fabulous community atmosphere...some great old school memorabilia for your viewing pleasure. Either in the bar or restaurant, you will leave full and happy. 😁

Took a while to get our food and then we had to ask for refills... the menu never mentioned a refill charge and then are waitress brought it to us no problem, until we saw the bill. Would've been nice if we were told before we got the refills.

Very good pizza. My husband and I had the Hawaiian pizza. He hates pineapple on his pizza but loved this. However I knocked off a star because of the very slow service. If you’re in a hurry or you’re use to fast service you might try somewhere else. The servers are in no hurry to wait on you. But with that said once we were served we had no issues and the food excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed meal with outside seating. A lovely Hawaiian lady sang classic songs. Marmara sauce is clearly homemade. Large portions.

Excellent food. Salad was fresh and house dressing is superb. Pizza tastes wood fired. Stag if so nice and grateful to serve you their amazing menu. Great for vegetarians! If on the east side of the island or even if you have to make a special trip, I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Delicious pizza, really surprised me for how good it was. A little pricey, but better than Pizza Hut. In Hawaii you have to order the Hawaiian BBQ chicken pizza, nom nom.

This place has poor service from the time we were seated to the time we left the restaurant. We were celebrating my friends wedding anniversary and so disappointed with the service and food. My husband and I always ordered same recipe every time we go to Italian restaurant. My first time to have a disgusting eggplant Parmesan and my husband has dried and cold chicken Parmesan. Terrible place to go. We were already told by other people from the place we were staying not to go but we kept open minded and learned the hard way. Not recommended and will tell all my friends about this place. The young lady who seated us need training. She supposed to learn manners too. Terrible experience!

Stopped in at Bobby V's with my wife 01/20/20 around 7:30. No reservation but we were promptly seated, brought menus and water. That's when the service ended. We waited 15 minutes and nobody came by to take a drink order or ask if we had any question about the menu. My wife stopped a passing employee and asked for a waitress, then we waited some more. We finally just left. As we walked by the till two of the girls working were looking at there phones, laughing and having a great time! The place didn't appear to be understaffed, just poorly managed. If this is what goes on out front, I can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen.

The staff was very kind. They were great so this review is not because of them. The quality of the food is very cheap. We definitely regret going here and wish that a restaurant in such a prime location would serve higher quality food. If you want cheap, so-so Italian food with large portions- this is the place.

The Food here was Amazing! The staff was friendly and very welcoming! I ordered a custom 15 inch pizza without Tomato sauce and olive oil instead with olives, tomato and bell peppers! The pizza tasted great and the crust was phenomenal! The crust tested away from the pizza and was amazing!

Clearly some mixed reviews about this place. It may just be a case of unmet expectations. We enjoyed our experience here. It was crowded, but they did a great job accommodating us. The cheese bread was great and so was out pineapple ham pizza. It was a little tough getting someone to stop by for a drink refill.

Prices weren't bad, and service was good, but the food was NOT up to part. Broken Alfredo sauce, NOT grilled "grilled" chicken, sausage not cooked properly. There's a reason locals don't recommend it...

Surprise! Cannoli! We just came in for a snack to wait out the rain and the service was very good and swift. The food criminals pizzas looked very good and the crust they gave me was very good. Good calamari, but skip the cheese bread, it's a bit bland.

Calzone and Pizza are good and cheese they use is tasty. Anyhow at least during lunch time, lasagne was clearly from yesterday's patch that was just heated in microwave (small curdle white sauce).

Ordered the 15" Hawaiian Pizza for $23. Pretty sure it was 12" but they were awfully busy and could have been a mistake.Serves me right for getting pizza in a seafood town.Have had better pizza at gas stations in the mid-west, however.

Decent environment with attentive service, but the food was disappointing. Eggplant parmigiana was 'mush', and Stella (sausage) calzone was soggy. Told them about the eggplant, and it was taken off the bill.

Liked the cheese #pizza, good taste, crust could have been a bit crisper. Expensive beers but happy hour is 2$ off 11-5. Good location while staying at the hotels.

Stopped here for lunch when traveling from Princeton to Lihue. We really enjoyed it. My son and husband had pizza, I had a sausage sub, and my daughter had spaghetti and meatballs. They were very nice about catering to my daughter who is a picky eater and doesn't like her food touching each other. (Yes, it is a weird quirk.) I loved the Papaya Seed dressing on the salad.

I don't understand how this place has such good reviews. I just got a pizza and its the worst pizza I have ever had by far. If they weren't closing soon I'd take it back.

Love that I can get a good Italian meal on the island! We sat in the bar where there was AC and a friendly bartender, Gina. Food was excellent! We tried the pizza the first time and pasta the second time. Both were full of flavor, and worth every penny! Highly recommend, and can't wait to go back!

If you want a heaping platter of apathy with your lunch meat pizza, Bobby V's is your place. The "hostess" asked how many in our party (2) and then just walked away. Apparently we were supposed to follow her like pets. When we didn't, she came back and waved us toward a table. Didn't ask if we wanted to sit outside (we did) and didn't ask if the table was acceptable (it wasn't). The place was half empty, so there was no reason to not ask for our preference. We should have walked out then. They claim "genuine" Italian food, but they don't know Italian from Imitation. Bobby V's isn't worth your time or money. The Thai noodle shack next door has better food, better (friendly) service and better prices.

Waitress messed up our order and brought us the wrong pizza. Had a rude demeanor when we said how the food we got was not what we ordered. We had to wait another 20 minutes to get the right pizza we ordered. To top it off we weren’t compensated or had our meal discounted in any way, let alone allowed to keep the wrong pizza they gave us.

Not a bad Italian place by any means. I mean it’s Hawai’i not Italy right? Good toppings and nice staff. Would eat it again. Place was nice and large enough for a large or average sized family. Service was very quick and prompt! They don’t deliver.
