We wanted to like this so much more. Perhaps Neapolitan just isn’t our personal favorite style of pizza or maybe we had unreasonably high hopes based on previous reviews. You can tell that the ingredients are all very fresh and high quality. There was just too much sauce and almost too many flavors going on in the sauces. We had a cheese/pepperoni pizza and a The Ultimate Heist. The pork on the ultimate pizza was excellent though, and I was wishing I’d listened to my husband and ordered the pulled pork platter instead of the pizza. If you like Neapolitan style pizza though, you’ll probably love this place.

Found this place on google maps while at the ocean center. They have only been open since Thanksgiving and the menus os still excellent for pizza and expanding. I had the Johnny Special with bacon, pepperoni and spicy pizza oil. It was excellent. My wife got the Mama Mia also excellent. The chef was present and came out to talk, and share samples of possible future dishes. He is from Finland but trained for four years around Naples Italy. His passion for food just shows in all the tasty treats we had plus our pizza. Got several pictures of the restaurant and one with the chef. When I come back to visit Maui I hope to see this place still booming in business.

Ahhhmazing authentic Italian pizza. Homemade fresh Italian mozzarella, sauce, and bread. Locals recommended it to us. The kitchen is open where you can see your order prepared and fired under open flame in a beautiful tiled oven. We were welcomed in and an appetizer platter was put before us while we perused the imaginative menu. The owner and staff had such positive energy and attention to detail. So delicious! Nothing for leftovers, we ate it all! You must try!

Food is the best part, really good pizza. Could of been sliced better. It’s BYOB, just water and soft drinks available. Communication to customers were kind of lacking. Server was a bit under experienced in letting customers know wait times. There was a server change as well, which other customers were not informed of by the new server. Atmosphere is nice with crooner type music playing in the background. Overall I enjoyed my time there.

Oh my goodness, my husband and I love Johnny’s Heist and it’s our favorite place to take people! It’s truly a foodie experience. The food is delicious, Johnny is so excited and interactive, and the views are awesome. This is hands down the best pizza you will ever have… it’s best fresh and served in the restaurant. As Johnny is the only one making pizzas right now, there sometimes is a little wait, but it is totally worth it! Just be kind and patient.

Hands down the best pizza I have had since having pizza in Italy!!! Authentic and absolutely delicious! We had the Johnny’s special and it did not disappoint! Cooked in a beautiful traditional pizza oven that is a unesco heritage from Naples. You could taste the love for the craft. Highly recommend!!!!

Awesome pizza place. Super authentic. Johnny makes his own sauce and dough, which he sells internationally. He only uses the best ingredients. The olive oil is imported straight from Italy. His pizza oven gets to 1000° F and pizza is cooked in 90 seconds! Plus Johnny is super cool. Best Artisan pizza place on Maui by far.

Johnny’s Heist is a religious experience. This pizza brought me to life. The dough, is perfection, the sauce is made with love, and the cheese wraps it all together in a perfect pie. But let’s not forget the bacon and the pepperoni, it was life changing. The salad is refreshing and the wings were 10/10. What wrapped this Christmas miracle of a meal was Johnny himself. He was a gem and the island of Maui is blessed with his presence and pies. Cheers Johnny – we love you
