Island Brews & Pizza Hut

What do you eat at the Honolulu airport to last the 6-hour trip back to California?Stopover in Honolulu Airport from Kauai to San Francisco. Island Brews at terminal 15 in Honolulu airport is crowded and noisy with overhead TV monitors of sport events. Ordered the $15 Hawaiian pizza and the $15 BBQ chicken. both personal sizes 7" in diameter. Pizza ordered at 11:29am, and delivered at 11:38am, ready in 9 minutes.Wife's Hawaiian Pizza comes with ham, scallion, crushed pineapple, and bacon. Not a whole lot of flavors as they skimped on the overcooked ham and bacon, with only a few bits of pineapple.My BBQ chicken comes with pulled chicken, hawaiian bbq sauce, red onion, mozaarella and gouda cheese. Chicken is tasteless, but the long strips of onions and BBQ sauce make all the difference in the world, as this is the most flavorful of the two pizzas.Fast forward four months and we have another stopover at Island Brews. We order at 11:15am and pizzas arrive at 11:28am. The $15 mushroom sausage pepperoni comes with very little mushroom, but with at least 4 slices of pepperonis and a decent amount of sausage in a red sauce to satisfy any carnivore.The $14 vegetarian pizza comes with jalapenos, basil, mushrooms, and pineapples. The jalapenos add some kick to the pizza.Yes, you can take the pineapple out of Hawaii but can't bring pineapple into Hawaii.

"My Name Is Richard (And I Am Awesome)" - The Very Very Awesome Song BandWhat made this review a 5-star (hey, coz it's AIRPORT food) was our server/bartender/busser Richard. He was slammed as he was the only person working that day. He had to take orders, make the drinks, put in the food order, clean the tables, wash the glasses but still managed to be as cool as cucumber, with a great sense of humor about the whole thing. Most people's heads would explode with that kind of stress, but he still managed to make a perfect cocktail and get us our pizzas on a timely basis.PIZZAS:Sun-dried Tomato Margherita with balsamic vinegar was pretty tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know why people keep complaining about it not being fresh, but rather microwaved. People's expectations for airport food is way over the top. $10.00, and it beats the price of an airport sandwich! My husband got the Pepperoni Pizza $11.00 and he liked his.COCKTAIL/BEER:I don't know the prices of these as my husband grabbed the tab. I don't remember the name of the awesome cocktail that Richard made, but for an airport drink, had more booze in it than at our local restaurant we frequent. It was tasty and yummy. I think it had pineapple, coconut and rum - a Pina Colada? Not sure, just get it!Located at the Honolulu International Airport Gate G (we were on United).If I end up in Gate G again, I will be sure to stop by again. Hopefully Richard will be there.

Stopped in for a drink before our flight. Not much to offer as far as food goes. Drinks are ok. Any port in a storm I suppose, as airport travel goes. Happy Trails.

Lady would not let me sit even though I got a pizza because it was to-go. Waited for service for 10+ minutes and when i finally asked to order she said well you can't order there because no one is there when she was walking back and forth next to me for the time before that. She was going to accept other orders before me unless I spoke up. There is no clear location to place and order. I don't understand why I can't sit despite the seating area being completely open. Pizza was mid as well.

Located in the airport, this was the closest restaurant near our gate. I ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and Bud Light, hubs had the Super cheese pizza with a Ling Island. My pizza was burnt, but didn't complain. The prices are like any place in the airport, pricey, but who cares? It'll be your last chance to eat something decent while being in the air for 5 plus hours!

I was pleasantly surprised at how good these pizzas were. The BBQ sauce had really good flavor. The basil mixed in the the pizza gave it an additional flavor I was not expecting and was a pleasant surprise. Definitely a great choice while waiting on a flight. Pizzas came out super fast.

I hate airport food, but I didn't have much of a choice. This was way more decent than burger king so we ended up here. It's expensive for 4 mini slices $10-$11 depending on the toppings, but again, what choices did I have?! Next time, I will either eat before getting here, or eat at the front of the airport, as gate G(southwest), does not have anything else. Pizza took 20 minutes to come out. As you can see, my ham was burnt. My pineapples looked wiry, which I can't even describe that. It just wasn't pleasant. The bbq chicken was wayyyyy better. The pepperoni had salami in it too, so that was interesting. The pizza killed time, so I didn't mind, before our 6 hour flight.

I had plenty of time before my flight and stopped in. The pizza (pepperoni) was really good. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The beer was good and cold too. Service as geat.

Pizza was really good, service was fast. However, the place was a little small, so it got a bit overcrowded with the flight delays. Other than that, this place had some of the best pizza I've had in my life.

Racist server! Myself and my family. (African American). We're waiting on our pizza to come. When the server (tall white lady) comes to us and says we need to leave the area and eat our food outside of the eating area because they were going to close. I explained i was waiting on my food. She says i still need to wait outside their area. The one problem is. There were two other white people sitting on the neighboring tables. She did not speak to them at all. And she actually allowed the lady to get her food and eat with no issue. My wife reported it to the manager. He apologized. But the server completely ignored us. It's 2023 very unfortunate for my young daughters to witness blatant racism.This was inside the Honolulu Airport at terminal T1 Gate. A15
