About the restaurant

Manoli's Pizza Company was created with family in mind.
My father, Manoli Placourakis, was born in 1925 and raised on the largest of all the Greek Islands, Crete...where the weather and water are beautiful year-round, where seafood, vegetables, and fruit are plentiful and where the bread, cheese and wine are all handcrafted, the old fashioned way. Rhonda and I are raising our son, named after my father and born on Maui in 2004, on a beautiful island with similar qualities to my father's birthplace. This leads us to Manoli's Pizza Company. Our fare here at Manoli's is centered on fresh, organic, and sustainable products whenever possible in crafting all of our pizzas, salads, and even when choosing the wines on our list. Manoli's is where healthful, flavorful foods and beverages come together in a place where friends and family meet.

As 'big Manoli' used to say,
"Treat your friends like family and your family like friends".

Great somewhat hidden little gem. Great service with multiple employees efficiently working together to provide everything timely. Excellent food - the deep fried deviled eggs were amazing! Hard to find clam chowder in Honolulu, but here it is and it was awesome. The Southern ice tea blend was worth the price - very unique! Our new favorite location.

When you're in the mood for Italian, this little spot doesn't disappoint. Hubby and I have been twice and everything was delicious. My go to in most Italian restaurants is the carbonara. There's is wonderful, although it does tend to be a little heavy on the pancetta/ bacon. It's the first thing you taste but if you're a bacon lover, you won't mind. The pasta is perfectly cooked and the yolk and parm are mixed beautifully. Husband had the bolognese. He said it was rich and delicious. The Cesar salad is amazing- better than the Italian salad, which is very good but the Cesar is next level. Fabulous dressing. The one thing you MUST get is the garlic bread. It is exceptional. You wouldn't think this place would be as good as it is from the outside but I promise you, it is definitely a little gem. We go back every time we are in Waikiki.

Great, relaxing restaurant. The service is impeccable. The food is very good. I loved the red sauce pasta dish (can’t recall the name). We also came here for breakfast and we loved the classic breakfast that came with eggs, bacon, roasted potatoes AND “silver dollar” pancakes that were so buttery and melted in my mouth! Delicious and relaxing experience! We can’t wait to come back.
