LA Pizza Rina is probably one of my favorite places to get pizza.

A 13″ medium pizza with two toppings cost $13.00. Not bad. But what is bad is the skimpy ass portion. Today we decided to get a medium pizza, with with three toppings instead of two. Each additional topping is only .60 cents. I had three quarters in my pocket I was planning on saving for drying my laundry when I got back home, but sometimes enjoying your meal is worth went panties. I remember the sausage was phenomenal last time so I ordered sausage, with extra sausage and pepperoni, 3 toppings right? As you can see, my wet laundry wasn’t worth it. There’s barely three pieces of sausage per slice. What a shitty deal.

Oh well, so I got sausage fucked, doesn’t change my love for them. Check out the stringy cheese on these babies. In my last post on them I mentioned the stringiness of their cheese. Here’s the proof. Love it.

We also shared the La Pizza Rina Super Sub, 12″-$.6.95. This is a better deal than Quiznos.

As you can see all three of us were able to get a generous portion. I’m not really a sandwich whore but today the sandwich surprisingly hit the spot. I think I enjoyed it more than the pizza.

Ham, salami, capicola, pepperoni and cheese with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and La Pizza Rina’s Special Sauce. If you love pizza and sandwiches you should definitely make this you next outing.

Here’s my last review on La Pizza Rina.

Conveniently located in Kailua on the way to Lanakai Beach Kalapawai Market definitely isn’t hurting for business. As a matter of fact every time I come here this place always seems pretty packed for a local market.

Kalapawai stands apart from your average joe market because not only can one come here for basic necessities like milk, home pregnancy tests, condoms and alcohol but one can come and stay for lunch. There’s a fine deli in the back of the place and usually someone out front inducing you with tantalizing BBQ aromas. What’s one do to? Surrender you poor unfortunate soul, surrender.

This is the Yogurt Bowl, $4.99, with fruit yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. I thought this was a pretty good deal considering the bowl was a meal in it itself. I really like the generous amount of granola that was given and it stayed crunchy even though it was premade.

There was a lot of dried fruit and some fresh bananas at the bottom. It came with one strawberry that also served the purpose of a garnish.

This is the Italian Sub, $7.49, french baguette, ham, turkey, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, Italian dressing and sun dried tomatoes pesto. This place has kick ass sandwiches but I gotta tell ya, there sandwiches are small as hell, which is why I don’t come here all the time.

On this day Ray and I didn’t have a very large appetite so as usual we shared and it was actually the perfect amount of food. I’m a fan of this place, regardless of their puny sandwiches. Come here for good sandwiches and if your hungry order two.

Here’s an older post on Kalapawai and their restaurant.

That’s a pretty ballsy name for a place don’t cha think? I’m gonna have to see if you can live up to your name or if I have to crush you like an itty bitty pimple. Now, if you guys haven’t been here and your not tourist it’s probably because this place is hidden like Waldo. We accidentally found this place driving through what looked like warehouses. I mean this place has to be good to stay in business right? Wrong, because word on the street is that this bakery bakes for a lot of local restaurants. The only one I know of is Cheese Burger in Paradise located in Waikiki. If you haven’t had their burgers, they’re so expensive they’ll rip you a new ass, but they’re so good you’ll probably let them because we all know your a dirty whore. Well, the reason why they’re so freakin good is because their soft Hawaiian sweet buns make you want to take a bite out of crime. Anyhow, I finally got around to checking this place out and I have to say this is it.

Don’t come here for ambiance. The inside of this place reminded me of a small cafeteria inside a hospital.

Come here for they’re ass kickin sandwiches, $7.50. We shared a sandwich and it came with a drink, chips and a pickle. Seriously, this was the largest slice of bread I ever seen. Way larger than the normal slices at your local grocery store. Now you know what large bread means, it means you’ll get a large sandwich. The bread was soft and fresh and it was a bonus to know that they were made here.

Now I don’t usually order chicken salad sandwiches, that’s entirely Ray’s thing. I’m not a fan of mayo and I’m hesitant that most places will put too much mayo. The mayo portion was just right, not too heavy and not too dry and it came with lettuce and tomato. Holy fuck balls this sandwich was good. I know it’s just chicken salad but it was really good.   Ray loved it and I kinda think after tasting it he didn’t want to share with me anymore.

Along with the sandwich I ordered Tabouli, $1.75. My picture made it look bigger than it really is. Unlike the sandwich, this was small. It couldn’t have been any larger than 8oz. I don’t see a lot of people liking this. It was way too lemony. Even though it was 8oz I still couldn’t finish this. It’s not good, don’t order it.

If you plan on coming here come for breakfast or lunch. They’re closed for dinner and on Sundays.

Overall I’m a fan.
