The Heavy Metal Pizza & Brewing Co

They need to be open a little earlier in the day. Plus days listed open are not always correct. Love the pizza, it's really good.

I ordered a pepperoni and pineapple pizza for pickup. When I arrived, the pineapple was on the side, and I was told they “weren’t sure” I wanted it on the pizza, despite that being exactly what I ordered.

Instead of simply remaking it, I was told to put the pineapple on myself or let them cook the pizza longer. When I asked for it to be remade properly, a manager (assuming it was the manager) came out and was unexpectedly aggressive and rude.

Mistakes happen, but being met with hostility for asking for the correct order was disappointing and unnecessary. It’s an experience that stuck with me. I wasn’t confrontational at the time and didn’t expect hostility over a simple mistake being corrected. The issue wasn’t the error itself, but how it was handled. Unfortunately, the experience left a lasting negative impression and haven't been back since.

no better pizza anywhere than here. Best Karaoke system hands down. just told if business don't pick up they will have to close. this is an awesome friendly place. really hoping this post gets locals out to support they community business.

So I added a note about condiments and they did send the driver with some! I appreciated the ranch, parmesan cheese and chili flake packets. However, the Garlic Bites and BYO Pizza came cold. Like really sitting out for at least an hour cold. I'm not sure why either- Everything was running on time. Also, I paid extra for stuffed crust, and there was no flavor to it. I was bummed. The total was close to 60 dollars... and I had to reheat my food in the oven.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Explorer Brewing and Pizza, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. The space has a great balance between a modern craft-brew vibe and a cozy, family-friendly feel, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal, meet friends, or simply unwind with a great drink.

The highlight, of course, is the combination of fresh, flavorful beer and incredibly delicious pizza. I sampled a couple of their house brews, and each one had its own unique profile—smooth, crisp, and clearly crafted with care. It’s obvious that the brewery team takes pride in developing flavors that are balanced, memorable, and enjoyable for both casual beer drinkers and true craft enthusiasts.

The pizza was equally impressive. The crust was perfectly baked with just the right texture—crispy on the outside and soft inside—while the toppings tasted fresh, thoughtfully paired, and generously portioned. Whether you prefer something classic or something more adventurous, the menu offers a great selection, and everything feels made with quality ingredients rather than cutting corners. It’s the kind of pizza that immediately makes you want to order another one to take home.

The staff deserves special recognition as well. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about what they serve. They offered helpful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and made the whole visit feel personal and comfortable. Good service can elevate a great meal, and that was definitely the case here.

The ambiance also stands out—plenty of space, comfortable seating, and an energy that’s lively without being loud. It’s a wonderful place for families, groups, date nights, or even solo visitors who just want to enjoy a pint and a slice. There’s a sense of community that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a local favorite, even if it’s your first time there.

Overall, Explorer Brewing and Pizza delivers everything you could hope for: excellent beer, fantastic pizza, warm service, and a setting that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. It’s the kind of spot you immediately want to recommend to others, and the kind you look forward to returning to again and again. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it—this place truly stands out!

Wow, I had a great meal with a friend at Explorer Brewing and Pizza. The pizza was so good, I don't know if I can ever go to a fast pizza place again! The tomato sauce was delectable, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the toppings were unbelievably generous. I will definitely be back!

This place used to be good. Places that have crappy hours deserve to go out of business.

We usually eat in, because the beers, service and vibe are unbeatable. But today we ordered a pizza for delivery, and it arrived so hot and fresh, I got to experience the stretchy cheese moment where I bit into the slice of pizza and had to pull it away from my face to break the hot cheese. As much as I love eating there, it was just too hot outside today, so we appreciated the efficient online ordering and great delivery service. Btw, the crust on these pizzas is always amazing (especially on the Lolo Wahine with the lilikoʻi butter).
