Best pizza on any island in Hawaii! The service is out of this world! Right when I walked in the bartender asked me if I wanted a beer and brought it to my table. The best service. Whatever they put in the crust was amazing.

The food, drinks, and staff at Black Rock are amazing, Especially SweetP, she made our visit feel special. This place is worth a trip to Hawaii all by itself. This is a must stop place on your vacation! Try the Bloody Mary, It is the best I have ever had :)

This is a gem of a pizza place in Captain Cook! We stopped by for lunch and shared a Greek salad and a small pizza. The salad was very fresh and quite big for a small. Plenty for the two of us. The menu said all their dressings and sauces are from scratch. The garlic herb vinaigrette was delicious! Our pizza was the Kau Onu: Garlic & Olive Oil, Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, Italian Sausage, Goat Cheese. The crust was nice, the flavors went together well. It's true, we were in the middle of a 30 mile bike ride and pretty hungry, but this was definitely a great place regardless (so hungry I forgot to take pictures until half the pizza was eaten! Service was excellent, we sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed a little breeze.

Super short drive from the Captain Cook trailhead. Honestly, you'll have a much better time if you just skip the hike and come straight here. Food is delicious, service is friendly, and the vibe is chill. Fully recommend.

My review is strictly on the food. We called in an order for pick up on our way home from Volcano park. They close at 9, and we were going to be getting there right around 8:45. I called in our order. It was super loud in the background and the lady on the phone had a hard time hearing me. Our food was ready upon arriving. We ordered the pepperoni rolls which were absolutely delicious. After eating our meal we wish we had just done two orders off those. We also ordered a small pie. After reading previous reviews I had a different expectation in my mind. Our pizza had minimal sauce on it, but a good portion of meats and veggies. I am not sure if I would dine in here. Between the phone call and pick up it seems overly loud, the kind of place you couldn't really have a conversation with the people at your table.

The BBQ chicken pizza was soooo delicious! Portions are plentiful, price point is great, and ranch is homemade. We loved the crispy crust and that it was loaded down with toppings. Our order came out extremely quickly and everyone was very friendly. There is lots of seating although we took ours to go.

I would have to say it's some of the best pizza I have had. The service was pleasant and we were lucky to be seated inside. A downpour happened which is not unusual between 2pm and 4pm. Everyone was satisfied with the portions and the sauce is flavorful. Drinks were also very good.

Touted as one of the best pizza spots on The Big Island... And it lives up to the hype! There are two locations on the island and a third location over on Maui. The Black Rock Pizza in Captain Cook was just down from where the rental was that we were staying in. We called in a takeout order on our way back from Punalu'u Beach... For those who may not know Punalu'u Beach is a beautiful black sand beach frequented by Hawaiian green sea turtles... We grabbed a couple the choice is yours (aka build your own) pies, an order of garlic butter breadsticks and the signature order of Big Island Balls (bread balls stuffed with Jalapeno, bacon, and cheese). The order was ready on our arrival. Service was great. Everything was hot and fresh. The parking at the Captain Cook location is limited in front of the shop, but there's additional parking across the road. The pizza was good. Not going to lie...I have my true favorites back home...but it's always a great thing to try some local fare. I would have loved to have tried a couple of their Local Kine Pizzas, but alas... I had bland travel partners. smh It is what it is. It probably doesn't need to be said...but for me the star of the show was the Balls! Lol These are a must try! So good! Some would consider it pricey, but that's the cost of eating out on the island... You probably spend $600ish+ on economy round trip tickets to get here. Spend a little more...eat out...eat local...and enjoy your vacation. If you're in the Captain Cook area check out Black Rock Pizza! https://blackrock.pizza/captain-cook

We were here a few weeks ago for dinner, just because it was down the street from where we were staying and they were open when the place we were going to go to, closed early that day. When we got there, they were clearly *super* busy, so I was worried it'd take forever to get a table and/or food, but they had a few seats at the bar (my favorite place to sit, anyway, generally), and yes, everyone was clearly running around like crazy, but they all seemed friendly (when you could snag one from the dozen other things they were doing). Anyway, we still got our order taken, our drinks, and our pizza, all pretty fast. The pizza we got was $34 for a large, though I will say, a large was 4 meals worth (we both also had lunch the next day, so not actually a bad value). We did like that they had some Hawaiian flavored ones - we went for the one that was basically a combo, but with kalua pork. The pizza, I'd say, was good, but not exceptional. I enjoyed it all well enough, but I feel like there's a reason Hawaii is famous for its poke and Japanese and obviously its Hawaiian food, not its pizza so much. Plenty of toppings (though I'm a "more is more" kind of person with pizza toppings), and all the toppings were pretty good (I'm still sad my wife didn't want to try the moco loco pizza), overall, pretty good pizza, might be the best pizza on the island, but definitely not quite as good as any of several of the best pizzas in Long Beach, let alone in NYC. I am glad we dined in, so I could have a cider with it (well, half of it; funny enough the other half we ate at a winery the next day for lunch, as just as good cold flatbread). I was happy they had a cider on draft from Ola - Ola makes great ciders, just wish they'd distribute them to California! (I did go there and bring a bunch back, also, obviously.) Great to support local cider, but also just good to have a great cider to go with pizza! (The cider was $7 - totally reasonable.) My wife had their $3 (nonalcoholic) house-made strawberry lemonade - I tried some of it, it was also very good. Finally, the reason they were originally on my road-map, for dessert - my original itinerary notes for myself put them down with the note, "ube cannoli? Possibly just go there for dessert". They do still have an ube/chocolate cannoli for $7, we shared one obviously (ube is having a huge moment in Long Beach right now too, but I think Hawaii got there first). Delicious, obviously, though funny enough, coming from someone who always wants more chocolate... the ube was a little bit lost under all the chocolate. Still, great.
