La Pizza Rina, nestled in the heart of Honolulu on South King Street, is a delightful haven for lovers of authentic Italian flavors and expertly crafted pizza. Embracing the essence of traditional Italian cuisine while catering to the local palate, this cozy yet vibrant spot excels as a pizza restaurant, pasta shop, and sandwich haven — making it an ideal destination whether you’re grabbing a quick takeout or savoring a relaxed meal.
From the moment you step inside, you sense the passion behind every dish. The air is infused with the rich aroma of freshly baked dough, aromatic herbs, and simmering marinara — instantly awakening your appetite. La Pizza Rina's menu is a carefully curated celebration of Italian favorites, highlighted by crowd-pleasers such as the New York Style Pizza The Works and classic Pepperoni Pizza, both boasting crisp, golden crusts that provide the perfect crusty bite, balanced by velvety cheese and a medley of premium toppings.
The restaurant’s specialties extend far beyond pizza. For pasta enthusiasts, options like the Manicotti with Marinara Sauce and Spaghetti with Sausage or Meat Sauce deliver comforting, hearty flavors that feel like a warm embrace. The Spinach Fettuccine and Mushroom Ravioli with Meatballs are noted by regulars to be particularly crave-worthy, with perfectly cooked pasta enveloped in savory sauces that sing with freshness and seasoning. Complement your meal with a crisp, vibrant Italian Salad or the generously portioned Large Antipasto Salad for an invigorating balance of textures and flavors.
Not to be missed are the hearty sandwich offerings. The La Pizza Rina Super Sub (6 inch), especially the Roast Beef & Provolone Cheese sub, is a fulfilling option that pairs wonderfully with their refreshing soda selections, including a nostalgic Root Beer Soda. For those who savor bold, layered tastes, the Deep Dish Pizza featuring hamburger and turkey toppings offers an indulgent, robust experience.
What truly distinguishes La Pizza Rina is its unwavering commitment to freshness and customization. Customers like “kokomo” emphasize the freshness and thoughtfully crafted pizzas here, noting the perfectly crispy crust and absence of oily residue that often plagues lesser pizzerias. The ability to tailor your pizza from toppings to crust thickness ensures each meal is personally satisfying. Another enthusiastic visitor, “Mano,” celebrates the consistently excellent food and warm, friendly staff who make every visit memorable.

From appetizing breadsticks to the rich and flavorful Two Toppings Large 16" Pizza, La Pizza Rina invites you to indulge in a culinary journey that feels both deeply traditional and wonderfully fresh. Whether you’re craving a satisfying pasta, a fully loaded sub sandwich, or a perfectly baked pizza layered with your favorite ingredients, this Honolulu gem delivers every time with warmth, authenticity, and exceptional flavor.
There's a lovely little Italian restaurant on King Street that you should definitely check out. The food is not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and everything is made fresh when you order it. This cozy spot has a great variety of dishes, including classic pizzas, tasty appetizers, hearty salads, and sub sandwiches. My favorite dish to order is the antipasto salad along with a small la pizza Rina specialty combo.
Food is FIRE. I love the staff and the food is absolutely delicious. I’ve only been here twice and the second time was a reminder on how good this place is. Will be coming back frequently.
I am not kidding when I say this is one of the most fresh and flavorful pizzas I have ever had in my travels. My friend and I came here multiple times. You can customize everything about the pizza, from toppings to crust thickness. It's a small and quiet spot, no music playing, just perfect. The pizza isn't drenched in oil, the crust is super crispy, and the ingredients taste fresh as can be. Now I must return to the mainland with a La Pizza Rina shaped hole in my heart...
Fabulous little place with great Pasta and Pizza. Must tries are the Combination pizza, mushroom ravioli, spaghetti with meat sauce and two meatballs. Parking is in the back of the restaurant and the service is quick. Definitely, will be back soon.
Everything was so delicious. Beyond our expectations. Salad was fresh and the dressing was refreshing, the right amount of acid and great balance. Pasta with meatballs was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce and meatballs were seasoned nicely. We sprinkled the chili flakes and it added great kick. We also got medium crust pizza with cheese and mushrooms, it was delicious. The crust was not burnt but it got good crisp to it! We ended up taking some home and even after reheating it was still delicious! We use print paper to place the pizza on top. Oven set to 400° and reheat for 4 mins.
I was so happy we decided to come back to this great little Italian restaurant — it’s just as wonderful as I remembered from all those years ago when I first came here with my coworkers. The portions were generous, especially for the price. The waitress was incredibly kind and so accommodating with our food allergies, which made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. What made the night extra special was how thoughtful she was in helping us celebrate my son’s birthday; he had been craving Italian food, and this place delivered.
Great little pizza place! The food is fantastic but what makes this place so great is the lovely lady that runs it. She is so sweet and brings such a great mood to the table. Free parking behind the building as well. 100% recommend
By far best thing crust pizza in town! Other places that we tried were nasty. Highly recommended for good pizza and quick/nice service!
