Cajun Sizzler Pizza in Side: Cajun Chicken, Pepperoni & Paprika on a 33cm Thin Crust

The Cajun Sizzler at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town is a 33cm thin-crust, Italian-style pizza topped with cajun chicken, pepperoni, red onion and paprika. It's the spice-forward choice on our pizza list — warm, smoky and full of flavour — made with ingredients bought fresh every day.

What's on the Cajun Sizzler?

Four toppings, all pulling in the same direction: cajun chicken, pepperoni, red onion and paprika. The chicken brings the peppery, Louisiana-style Cajun seasoning that gives this pizza its name. Pepperoni doubles down on it — the cured sausage is naturally rich in paprika, so its smoky character sits comfortably next to the spiced chicken instead of fighting it. Red onion softens and sweetens as the pizza bakes, giving your palate somewhere to land between bites, and a final hit of paprika ties the whole pie together.

Like every pizza at Hawaii, it's built on our thin 33cm Italian-style base — crisp and light, with no heavy rim of dough stealing space from the toppings. We've been cooking in Side old town since 2000, and the kitchen still works the honest way: ingredients bought fresh daily, with a real wood fire and charcoal grill at the heart of the operation.

Who It's For — and When to Order It

Order the Cajun Sizzler when a plain cheese pizza feels too polite. This is a pizza for people who like their food seasoned with intent — if chicken wings, fajitas or anything pepper-crusted usually catches your eye on a menu, you're the target audience. It also settles the classic holiday debate of "pizza, or something with a bit of a kick?" by simply being both.

Timing-wise, it earns its keep all day. It's a proper lunch after a morning on the beach, a solid dinner before the karaoke stage warms up, and because the kitchen runs daily from 10:00 to 02:00, it's one of the more reliable late-night orders in Side old town. Feeding a mixed table? Spice-shy kids can pick something milder from the kids menu and an alcohol-free kids cocktail while you keep the Sizzler to yourself.

What to Drink With It

A cold beer is the classic answer to a spiced pizza — it cuts cleanly through the cajun seasoning. Cocktail drinkers are well looked after too: see our guides to signature cocktails and frozen cocktails in Side, and if you lean toward a glass of wine with your pizza, our Turkish wine guide is a good place to start. The current drinks list is always on the live menu. And if you time dinner well, Happy Hour runs every evening from 19:00 to 20:00 — a sensible window for that first round.
