Pi Artisan Pizzeria - Lahaina

This restaurant is a fantastic family-owned business that offers stunning ocean views and a laid-back atmosphere.

We inquired about the lunch special, which included a personal pizza and a salad. Both the pizza and the salad were delicious. The price was likely the most affordable we came across during our visit to Maui.

DISCRIMINATION!!! The worst experience ever. We came in today with our service dog. It was around 4pm. The restaurant was almost empty. They only have one table. We were kicked out to the back patio area immediately. The manager told us we cannot be seated with the normal ocean view dining area because we have a dog. We showed them the medical record from the doctor and how she was a certified service dog. It is not just a dog. But he refused to listen. He showed the look of disgust. It is the first time in my life where I feel discriminated. I feel like I am a second class citizen and I have to seat elsewhere. This is UNACCEPTABLE. The service dog is for a medical condition and not for fun. Clearly not everyone is welcomed here. It is ashamed because I live here. I will never come back. I don’t deserved to be treated like this. No one should. Shame on you manager at Pi.

Our favorite dinner in Maui! Wow...those meatballs! All the food we had was splendid. Excellent friendly service. Fabulous view of water and a block or two down from the real hustle and bustle of Front St so it feels less hectic!

We echo other reviews on great pizza and BOMB garlic knots stuffed with mozzarella. HACK: instead of sitting by the water, request a table in the “garden” area behind the restaurant and live the local “mahalo” as part of the community. Even better than the fresh cuisine was our experience meeting John Pope the owner. It was at the end of the night and we tried to solve some of the small business world’s problems together. Tough time to be in the restaurant business to say the least. John talked about his garden growing fresh arugula and basil for dishes and his history on the island and his passion for it and it’s people. We are small business owners back in Iowa. Keys to success and pitfalls of failure are universal. In the end do the right thing all day long, go to bed, repeat, works really well. John treats his team well and has brought his family into the business to help him and share the experience. John and his business is strong and will survive. I encourage you to help them “thrive” with your support of this great Local business.
