A chain restaurant in Kauai?? There is a new Pizzeta restaurant in Kappa. We were pleased to see this, since it is much closer to Princeville than Koloa town. I think the most popular item is pizza, but they also have calzones, salads, and dinners (fish, pasta). Both locations have a bar within the restaurant. We tried the Kapaa location first, and were very pleased with the service, atmosphere, and food. They will be adding outside seating on a back deck. Calzones were good, as was the pasta, with lots of garlic and chicken. Salads are a little pricey. Several local beers on tap.
Our last week, we tried the Koloa location (we’ve eaten there many times in the past). The food was good, but the service was iffy, and the place just did not look great. We were overcharged for a salad that was ordered as part of a dinner and the server acted as if we ordered the wrong salad. We mentioned that we’d ordered the same in Kapaa and were informed that there are different owners for that restaurant (at least more owners than Koloa), even though the menu is the same. They resolved the charge, but just dropped the new check at the table and did not say anything further. I guess the Koloa location already does good business and does not have to try as hard as the new location in Kapaa. We’ll go back to Kapaa, but I think we’ll skip the Koloa location for the next several times.
Good and relatively (Kauai standards) cheap for a sit-down and service meal. You can roll in off the beach!
