This place is amazing! There were gaming stations with all kinds of platforms like NES, Switch, and more. I ordered a gluten free vegan pizza, and my husband got a custom pizza and a salad, and we both got drinks. The food was SO GOOD. We took it to a park and ate outside. It was fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Big portions as well! We had leftovers for midnight snacking. The cashier was super friendly and helpful too. It’s not cheap, but it was definitely worth the price. We played games while we waited for food, and it was really fun. Will absolutely come back on our next trip!
Charming spot with a tropical garden vibe, burst of flavors in every dish, and a delightful outdoor area filled with cute trinkets and gifts!

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

We ate here twice last week. The waiters were kind and seemed relatively well trained on celiac needs. My daughter had the fish tacos and then tried a bunless burger with a side sub (fries are cross contaminated). Felt good after both meals!

You can't quite call us regulars but we've been here enough since the 90s to know we have to make a stop by here every trip. The pizza is fantastic. Love that they have so many gluten free and dairy free options. We came too late for bakery items but will return for them later.

They advertise gluten free pasta but then hey don’t serve it. The offer gluten free/vegan pizza crust but don’t have a dairy free cheese option. We ordered dinner for 7 people and the food all got delivered at different times. The difference between the first meal drop of and the last meal drop off was over 30min!

I'm super bummed to write this. We chose to eat here after the great reviews about taking allergies/gluten free sufferers into consideration. I've asked to speak with a manager three separate occasions. No manager when we were in the restaurant. I've called twice, left a request for a return call, never a response.
I write this for my fellow celiacs/gluten sensitive folks * <3. Quick story: we ordered two gluten free/dairy free pizzas, paid for them, waited. One came out gluten free and one was full gluten. I noticed the difference by sight, asked them, they said oh my bad, went back to bake a new one. After waiting 30 more min the guy appeared with two pizzas, and said they cooked us two fresh gluten free/dairy free pizzas! I was about to walk out, checked again, and the same gluten pizza was stacked with the new gluten free one. Unfortunately I had to be this vigilant, and they said oh sorry, our bad. I'm sad to say, gluten-free folks, don't eat here or at your own risk. I think the worst part is how flippant everyone was, no offer of a pizza on them, no assurance this would not happen again after it happening twice in a row.
Update after response: It's even more disturbing that I left my information with the manager and have called twice requesting a callback—with no response. Hence, my review. Instead of addressing my experience, taking accountability, and making it right, this response not only denies that I reached out but goes further to mock my concern. The lack of transparency, honesty, and accountability only reinforces my review.

This was a very disappointing experience. We went in for my birthday dinner and I was very excited because the menu looked great. To start, the server was cold and not engaging at all. Some of the food was just ok, but very high prices for just ok. Two of the dishes were almost not edible. My partner is gluten free and I do appreciate the accommodation that was offered, but they up-charge $5 for boxed gluten free pasta. We constantly eat gluten free and it’s usually very tasty but her dish was just nasty. The pasta was hard/crunchy like it was burned in a pan after being boiled. She would take bites of her food then have to spit out the rock hard pieces of pasta. The pesto sauce was very bland, and the tomato sauce was way too sweet. I highly recommend you do not go here for any special occasion, they are not welcoming and don’t seem to care about any celebration. There’s some great Italian on the Big Island, look somewhere else.

Very inviting and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view of the ocean, especially during sunset. Located not far from the downtown Front street attractions and retail/tourist area. The food was outsanding. Many gluten-free options. Great drink and wine selection. Amazing desserts. The server was quick, very polite and made excellent recommendations. The owner was awesome, too! We celebrated a group dinner here and everyone loved it.

It's so hard to find a great pizza place that also offers a gluten free crust alternative that also tastes amazing! It's incredibly tasty and has the perfect crunch. Even my non gluten free family members loved the cauliflower crust. Also- the Kale salad is one of the best salads I've ever had. I love salads, but somehow this one took kale (which can be hot or miss) to the next level. The service was amazing - both times we came here. Highly recommend for everyone.

Delicious American pizza!
Super delicious pizza, either to top yourself or a small selection of ready-made pizzas.
We put together a pizza with scampi and garlic oil and ordered a ready-made BBQ chicken pizza with fresh pineapple and onions.
You could also choose the type of dough, between wheat, whole grain and gluten-free.
We had one with wheat and one with wholemeal dough.
Two small pizzas (each 25cm in diameter) filled us up for two.
Highly recommended, gladly again!

The food seems like it would be very good. The menu is confusing as there are certain items labeled gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian, however, you still need to request that it is made gluten free/dairy free etc. I made an incorrect assumption that since it was labeled on the menu that it was already free of my allergens but that is not the case. Just be sure to clarify and you will be good to go.

**California Pizza Kitchen - Honolulu, Hawaii: A Surprising Disappointment**
As frequent travelers, California Pizza Kitchen has always been a reliable go-to for us, especially since my wife is gluten-sensitive. Their gluten-free pizza options and fresh, creative salads have consistently made CPK a staple in our dining routine. However, our recent visit to the Honolulu location was the first time we left feeling less than satisfied.
We were initially excited, as this stop at CPK has always been a highlight when traveling. The ambiance was as welcoming as ever, with the familiar open-kitchen vibe and friendly staff. We started with a salad, which was fresh and flavorful, just as we remembered. Unfortunately, the main event—the gluten-free pizza—didn’t live up to our expectations this time around.
The gluten-free crust, usually a reliable choice, was lackluster, bordering on soggy rather than the crisp, light texture we've come to expect. The toppings, which are typically vibrant and full of flavor, seemed unevenly distributed and lacked the usual freshness. The overall experience with the pizza left us disappointed, especially given how consistent CPK has been for us in the past.
To make matters worse, our order of **Buffalo Cauliflower** came out with only two small pieces of cauliflower on the plate. We immediately let our server know, and while she quickly apologized and took the dish back to the kitchen to be fixed, it was concerning that such an obvious mistake wasn’t caught before it reached our table. The dish was corrected, but it left us questioning the attention to detail in the kitchen.
The manager did come by to address the issue, but his explanation was less than satisfying. He mentioned that they portion everything by weight, but when I asked how two tiny pieces could possibly meet their portion standards, he was unable to provide a clear answer. It felt more like an excuse than a genuine attempt to rectify the situation.
It's worth noting that the service remained attentive, and the salad was still a hit, which helped salvage the experience somewhat. However, given how important the gluten-free pizza is for us, this visit fell short of the standard that CPK has set in our minds.
We hope this was just an off night for the kitchen, as we've always held CPK in high regard. We’ll likely give it another chance on future trips, but this visit left us wishing for the consistency and quality we’ve come to associate with California Pizza Kitchen.

This is a chain store you'll want to stop by when you come to America. We have gluten-free pizza! You can choose the dough, but there are gluten-free options, and the menu is limited, such as pepperoni and margherita, but you can make them gluten-free. It's hearty and really delicious. I really feel like I've come to America.
My family is gluten-free, so I'm very grateful.
The mozzarella cheese in the Margherita was creamy and delicious. The staff will add cheese right in front of you.
I visited this store in Kahala Mall in the evening. It said you could take it home for $10.
Delicious dishes with standout flavors and unique options make it a must-try spot for an enjoyable meal experience!

1st Visit: I ordered Loco Moco with hamburger but received pork. No worries, it was decent, and they were slammed (full parking lot). My partner had the Chicken Papaya salad that lady at the register recommended since she has a gluten allergy (not a preference) and had asked for recommendations. The lady gave a short "well off the top of my head" slightly rude response, which seemed odd, but we brushed it off. My partner absolutely loved the salad! So much so that we had to return! I also want to mention that the wait was reasonable and the restaurant was well kept and clean.
2nd Visit a few days later: I grabbed a Burrito at the Taco shop that shares the same building (excellent choice BTW). My partner got the Papaya salad at Hana Hou again and simply asked if there was anything that needed to be left off for it to be gluten-free, again because it's an allergy situation and she wanted to double check if it had to made differently since she specified GF prior. It's quite common for the GF option to have an ingredient substituted or left off. Since it's an allergy, we always specify that to make the restaurant aware so that it's prepared correctly. The same lady from before again seemed agitated and gave a snarky response about it being GF already. Like eating out with a food allergy isn't already tough enough. Being treated poorly for asking a simple food allergy related question is simply unacceptable. The parking lot was empty and we were the only ones at either restaurant.. so it's not like she was flustered during a busy rush or something.
Both times, we were kind, so the rudeness was one-sided for no apparent reason. We literally gave her the benefit of the doubt since it was busy the first time. We will not be making that mistake again.
I wasn't going to leave a review as I don't like to leave negative reviews on small businesses. However, after two similar negative experiences and seeing the negative reviews from others, the rude attitude appears to be common, which is honestly just unfortunate. Based on the numerous complaints of rudeness, along with the unprofessional responses to negative reviews, I suggest someone else deal with the customers and review responses. It'll be better for the customers and the business in my humble opinion.

From fresh baked bread, pizza slices, salads, desserts, and drinks that are ready to pick up and go- to the tacos and burritos that they make quickly, I know it has something for everyone- whether you can't have gluten (like me- but I LOVE the tacos, salads and desserts!) or if you are vegan or vegetarian like my friend- I know I can bring anyone here and they will find something they like. Casual relaxed dining, with a fun atmosphere kids and families as well as friends will love.

The atmosphere was amazing. Loved the live music on Wednesday. They had a super talented singer to listen to while enjoying a delicious meal and beverages. Their drinks are yummy and their staff friendly and attentive. More gluten friendly or vegetarian options would be my only constructive criticism.

I like going to California Pizza Kitchen because of the gluten free pizza crust and the menu has something for everyone in the family.
Not sure how the incorrect communication happened when ordering but pizza came on a normal crust instead of GF crust. The manager came over and corrected the order. He wanted to make sure the order was correct and no gluten cross contamination would happen.
We all got our food in the end. We just ate at different times.
Frequent visitors appreciate the cleanliness and atmosphere, though staff dynamics can sometimes be a bit awkward.

Been here three times. I love the gluten free pizzas and salads. This place is always clean and the staff is very friendly, except one waiter who made it abundantly clear to the hostess in front of us that he does not want anymore patio seats because he is in the bar area and doesn't want to forget customers sitting out on the patio. He had one table on the patio. It was really inappropriate behavior on his part and I'm glad he wasn't our waiter.
