Food is amazing, best pizza in town. Service is outstanding. Highly recommend sitting at the bar for party of 2, Nicky Nine Toes (the bartender) is out of this world entertaining and hooks it up. Great ambience. Recommend for before Feast at Lele Luau or just to pass time on Maui. 11/10 everything!

We enjoyed this spot. Found relatively easy parking. We chose this place because they have a gluten free option & who doesn't love wood fired pizza?! Staff was awesome, conversational and attentive. Great spot, delicious pizza!

Nick at the bar made this the best Maui experience of my life. His personality would have me follow him anyplace as long as he was pouring drinks there. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed the hour we spent with him and felt like we would gladly order drink after drink just to linger at his bar a little longer.

Great pizza and actually wood fired! Loved the location and ambience (open air and woodsy). Staff was excellent, waitress was so adorable, so happy and upbeat (little blond young lady, please if you read this tell her she was appreciated). Bartender was so great too, I ordered a drink that required him to come over and create a smoke bubble on my drink, the drink was delicious and he happily came over to the table so the bubble wouldn’t blow out on the way over. Ordered the special bruschetta and it’s was 100%. Also ordered the works and margarita pizzas and both were very good.

3 couples, three pizzas - The Works, Pepperoni & Mushroom and Double Mushroom. All were outstanding. The sauce was delicious as was the crust. Loaded with toppings. We were so happy to try Kapenas on our trip this year. Gui was very attentive and gave us excellent service. We will be back!

We had the short rib pizza. It had plenty of short ribs and lots of mushrooms. A very tasty pizza. We also had the Caesar salad. It was fresh and very good. I ordered the local lager which was unavailable, so I ordered another local beer-Bikini Blonde. The bartender who brought it made some wisecrack about wanting a blonde in a bikini. This was an unwelcome and unnecessary comment. When the waitress brought the check, she hadn't removed the beer that wasn't available. We did order before 6pm and got happy hour prices. With the exception of the crack by the bartender and the unintentional overcharge, we really enjoyed the food.

The dining experience was delightful! Very friendly and efficient waitstaff. The pizza was very tasty and prepared just the way we ordered. The ambience was relaxed and created a great experience.

Delicious wood-fire pizzas! Enjoyed three different pizzas and all were great. Highly recommend if you are looking for fresh ingredients and yummy thin-crust pizza. Friends are headed to Maui next month and we will tell them to put this on their list!

Love this place the food was all freshly made and tried most of the gourmet pizzas on their menu...so good! Friendly staff, awesome pizza & drinks, beautiful sunset and even free parking close by (which is rare) what more can you ask for . We will definitely come back.
We went to dinner with our family friends. Four teenagers and four adults. The food was amazing! The service superb!! The Mai Tai was by far the best one on island! Can't wait to go back for dinner again soon!?
The service was great. From the Friendly staff to the bartender. We dropped in for a quick beer and marghertia pizza... had yo come back today to have the caprese salad, the works pizza, and the drink of the day!!! The ambiance is very relaxing and chill!! The food is amazing... coming from someone who does not normally like pizza! They are closed Sun and Mon. Will try to come back one more time before heading back to the mainland.

We were staying at Lahaina Shores, and drove to Ka’anapali for dinner, only to be told there was a 1-hour wait (restaurant didn’t take reservations!) so we turned around and decided to try Kapena’s. What a great find! (I HAd noticed other people at the hotel were bringing in pizza boxes!) We sat at the bar and ordered gin and tonics from Nick, the bartender, and, as well, a Caesar salad and a Margharita pizza, both to share. GREAT drinks! DELICIOUS salad AND pizza! We highly recommend Kapena’s and look forward to going back when we go to Maui again!

The bruschetta here is a must-have appetizer. It's such a refreshing treat after a long day out in the sun. The tomatoes are fresh and juicy with just the right amount of mozzarella and balsamic vinegar. This place has such a great vibe. It's fun and chill and really enjoyable. I had to knock off one star because the bartender, who was super nice and sweet, kept forgetting my drink and had to ask me 2-3 times what I ordered. Overall though it was a great experience!

The place wasn't hard to find and had a lot of parking. It was a really busy night so I'm glad we made reservations ahead of time. We got seated and ordered drinks. The drinks were ok, not the best. Then we ordered appetizers and got a salad & French onion dip. Those 2 were the highlight of the meal. French onion dip was delicious! We got the pizza with everything on it(I forget what it was called) but it was alright, I've tried better. The pizza was soggy and when you'd take a bite all the toppings would fall off. Overall, the food was ok but for the price I had to pay I wouldn't come back. It was also really loud, my partner and I barely could hear each other speak. Service was good though.
Had dinner with family of 5. Pizza was delicious as well as shrimp appetizer. Was a little stuffy inside dining. Service was slow. Kids drinks had no lids. Would return for the food!
