Lanikai Brewing Company - Kailua

Just good beer.

Lanikai Brewing Co is hands down one of my favorite places to eat on the island. I love the Valentina’s pizza they serve especially the Bee’s Knees. They have a really good selection on NA beer which is not usually the case at most restaurants so we love that. The wait can be long but it is well worth it for this pizza 10/10.

Stopped by after a few hikes and had a flight and a few beers outside. Beer was pretty tasty and they had multiple styles. Worth a stop.

I usually love this brewery. The beer is great, and the cocktails, while ridiculously expensive, are really well made. Valentina’s, the food truck that serves the place, used to be solid. But the last three times I’ve visited over the past few months, the food has taken an absurd amount of time to come out.

I’m talking about waiting an hour for a pizza, only for it to show up undercooked, with raw dough. Wood-fired pizzas should take maybe five minutes in the oven, tops. This isn’t on the bartenders or servers at Lanikai, they’ve been awesome every time. The issue is clearly with whoever is working in the Valentina’s kitchen.

If it weren’t for the amazing front-of-house staff, this would be a one-star review. I’ve worked in the service industry for over a decade, and I really hope someone evaluates what’s going on with this food truck. This time around, I even put the order in 15 minutes before my friend arrived - who was on their lunch break btw - and they still had to leave before the food ever came out. And even then, it took another 15 minutes after they left for the pizza to show up, still not fully cooked.

An hour? For an underdone pizza? Come on.
And for the price you’re charging, it’s just unacceptable. It may not be Lanikai Brewing’s kitchen, but this kind of experience does reflect poorly on the brewery as a whole.

Nothing to write home about, average, pricey, and service is disjointed. #underwhelmed

Great beer and tap room! Our go-to after a great day at Lanikai Beach!

Great local brewery and distillery. Unique beers and serves up excellent pizza that is fresh and tasty. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but worth the hassle.

Good drinks Mahalo time

Awesome tasting beers. Homemade brewery. My favorite is the dragon fruit.

Great bar, friendly service, and the pizza truck was fantasticas well!!!

Wonderful staff ! Great pizza and even better IPA's . Very cool vibe .

Nice range of beers to choose from, including several tasty IPAs. The food was very good. Sandwiches made with the baked pizza dough! Wow! Service is relaxed which is just fine, we’re on island time.

Waited 2 hours with an empty restaurant..possibly the worst tasting beer I have had in my entire life. When the food came, we had our order delivered wrong 3 times. Worst 60 bucks I have spent my entire life. Get beer from the store, and an microwave pizza for better results.

Beer was not good and wait was insane for food. They also messed up my friends order and didn’t comp it when they didn’t fix it.

Refreshing drinks after a beach day.
