Amina Pizzeria Honolulu, Oahu, HI

I stumbled into this little gem purely by accident and was I pleasantly surprised. We were going to another well known bar in the Ala Moana area of the city and it just happened to be closed for Father's Day. We looked across the street and saw Amina Pizzeria and I have to admit, I wasn't sure I wanted to eat there, but we looked it up and saw that it had received great reviews so we decided to go for it! With a large menu of pastas, hot subs, pizza, and calzones and prices starting at $6.50 Amina's has something for everyone, on any budget.

While I was here I decided to try a pepperoni and sausage calzone. I have eaten some great calzones in my life, so I am very critical of the components, mainly the crust and the sauce. Amina's didn't let me down. Their crust was very flaky and the sauce, which comes on the side, had tons of flavor that blended perfectly with the crust and the fillings. All four of us had calzones and all of us raved about how good ours were, but I did get a look at their pizza and it looked amazing as well and I can't wait to try it.

My only complaint about Amina's is they don't serve alcohol, so if you are looking to have a few drinks with your dinner you are out of luck. If you ever find yourself in Honolulu and you don't want to spend a fortune at the tourist trap restaurants of Waikiki, head down the road to Amina's and get some great food at an affordable price.

Would I go again: Yes
