In honor of National Cheese Pizza Day tomorrow, check out these gloriously cheesy pie options:
A cheese lover’s dream
Arancino on Beachwalk (255 Beach Walk), which reopened earlier this spring, offers a variety of Napoli-style dishes ranging from pastas to pizzas.
Its pizza quattro formaggi ($28) is designed with cheese lovers in mind. It’s got a blend of mozzarella, mascarpone, Parmesan and Gorgonzola and served with a jar of honey.

New Detroit-style pizzas
Inferno’s Pizza (1344 Kona St.) just launched its new Detroit-style pizzas ($20-$24, depending on toppings), which are available Tuesdays and Thursdays at its food truck. Limited amounts are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no online orders are currently available for these pizzas.
Detroit-style pizzas feature a thicker pizza dough that is baked for a longer time period and are loaded with cheese.

‘Melted Memories’
Located in Halekulani Hotel, House Without A Key (2199 Kalia Road) is known for its live Hawaiian music, scenic ambiance, and creative cocktails and pupu. Popular dishes include hoisin coconut ribs ($28), hamachi kama ($28) and crab cake ($32). The latter features a generous portion of lump blue crab meat.
One of the restaurant’s newer dishes has become one of my faves. Cheese lovers will swoon over the “Melted Memories” Eha (4) Cheese Pizza ($30), which features an indulgent medley of mozzarella, ricotta, blue and Parmesan cheeses, along with parsley and Big Island honey. It’s the perfect sweet-and-savory combo.
