Pepperoni Pizza in Side: Hawaii's Classic with a Mushroom Twist

At Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town, the Pepperoni is a 33cm thin-crust, Italian-style pizza topped with pepperoni, mushroom and cheese. It's our take on the classic pepperoni pie everyone knows, rounded out with mushrooms, and it's served daily from 10:00 to 02:00 — with today's price always on the live menu.

Pepperoni, mushroom, cheese — an honest three-word menu line

Our menu keeps it to three words: pepperoni, mushroom, cheese. Two of them are exactly what you expect. The third is the Hawaii touch. A textbook American pepperoni pizza is cured sausage and melted cheese and nothing else; ours folds in mushrooms, whose earthy softness plays against the richness of the cured sausage. If you're a strict purist, consider that fair warning. If you've ever found a plain pepperoni a little one-note by the third slice, this is the version you were hoping for.

Everything else is house standard, and has been since we opened in 2000: a thin 33cm Italian-style base from a kitchen built around a real wood fire and charcoal grill, with ingredients brought in fresh every day. The thin crust matters — it keeps the sausage and mushrooms in charge instead of burying them in bread.

Who it's for, and when to order it

Pepperoni is the pizza you order when you don't feel like negotiating. It's the safe pick for teenagers, the familiar flavour after a week of all-inclusive buffets, and a sensible choice for anyone who wants dinner without a menu deep-dive. Younger kids who want something plainer have their own kids menu to fall back on.

Ordering for one? A 33cm thin-crust round is a manageable size for a single hungry diner — add a starter if you've spent the afternoon walking the old town. Timing-wise, it earns its keep all day. We're open from 10:00 in the morning until 02:00, so it works as a lazy lunch, an easy dinner before the karaoke stage warms up, or late food while a match plays on the live sport screens. For a table full of different appetites, our family pizza night guide shows how to build a spread around it.

What to drink with it

A rich, savoury pizza wants a cold drink alongside, and the bar side of Hawaii is half the point of the place. Time your visit for Happy Hour — daily between 19:00 and 20:00 — and the round gets friendlier still. For inspiration, browse our guides to the signature cocktails and frozen cocktails, or simply ask the team what they'd pour next to a pepperoni pizza; the current drinks list, with today's prices, is on the live menu. Kids aren't left out either: there are alcohol-free kids cocktails, so everyone at the table gets a glass worth clinking.

Where it sits on Hawaii's pizza list

Pepperoni is the reference point of the pizza list: if you like it, the rest of the board opens up from there. Our Hawaii pizza menu guide walks through every pie we make, and if you're wondering why they're all the same size and style, the story of the thin-crust 33cm pizza explains the thinking.
