Pizza Bob's in Haleiwa

Kea's favorite North Shore restaurant is Cholo's so we usually eat there. I kinda wanted to check out other places, but Cholo's is good too... Anyway, we didn't have time to wait for a table at Cholo's this time. Were going to go to Kono's, which a friend recommended, but they were closing.

So it was the perfect opportunity to try one of these other places out. I hadn't been to Pizza Bob's since high school. I remembered that one of my friend's and her family liked it, but I couldn't really remember much about the food.

Luckily, we were pleased. The three of us shared a large Roberto's ($28), which included eight slices. It was a bit pricey and not as large as we expected, but it was good. The tomato sauce was really herby, the crust had a good texture, there were a lot of toppings, and overall, it had a home-made taste. Our friend also ordered Portuguese Bean soup, which he said was good. It came with two huge pieces of bread that looked yummy and filling. I think maybe they were made from pizza dough or something.

And while Cholo's had a 30-minute wait, we got in right away here. They had a covered outdoor-seating area that looked nice too. Oh, and the water came with a slice of lemon--always a nice touch.
