Hilo Bay Comfort Food With a Creative Twist Since 1988
Café Pesto's Hilo restaurant (its ordering links point to 308 Kamehameha Avenue) says it has served the island of Hawaiʻi since 1988, with comfort foods "with a creative twist" reflecting the island's ethnic diversity and a Fire Pizza menu. HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2025 readers ranked it second for pizza on the island.
Its site offers reservations, pickup and delivery ordering, and catering, but lists no hours or prices; the phone number is (808) 969-6640. Confirm hours before going.
