Maui’s pizza scene stretches well beyond the classic slice. In Lāhainā, Sale Pepe Pizzeria e Cucina builds traditional Italian pizzas on long-fermented dough, while Pizza Madness Maui in Kīhei leans into thick, loaded beach-town pies and Point Break Pizza & Panini serves award-winning pizzas just steps from Māʻalaea Harbor.

Food trucks bring another slice of the island into the mix, from Da grateful dough's venison-topped pizzas and smoky crusts to Maui Pizza Truck’s blistered sourdough pizzas in Makawao. At Ocean Organic Farm & Distillery in Kula, farmbreads carry flavors like Kula onions, macadamia pesto and kimchi. Find these spots – and more Maui pizza favorites – in the full story.
